6 And when the woman saw that the ti-ee ivas

she took of the fruit thereof, s_anc! did eat, and

8 And they heard tlie voice of the Lord God 
walking in the garden in t!ie f cool of the day ; 
and Adam and his \vife ' hid tliemseh-es from the 
presence of the Lord God amongbt the trees of 
the garden. 

9 And the Lord God called unto Adam, and 
said unto him. Where art thou : 

10 And he said, °' 1 heaid thy -voice in the gar- 
den, ""-and I Avas afraid, ° because I vjas naked; 
and I hid myself. 

1 1 And he said, p AMio told thee that thou ivast

commanded thee, that tliou shouldest not eat : 

12 And the man said, The \voman whom diou 
gavest to be w ith me, she ga^e me of the tree, 
and I did eat. 

13 And the Lord God said unto the Avoman, 
Wliat is this that thou hast done ? and the 
woman said, ^ The seipent beguiled me, and I 
did eat. 

14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, 
Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed 
above all cattle, and above eveiy beast of the 
field; upon thy loelly shalt thou go, ''and dust 
shalt thou eat all the "days of thy life : 

15 And I will put enmity between thee and 
the woman, and bet\\een ' thy seed and * her 
seed; it shall biiiise thy head, and thou shait 
biuise his heel. 

16 Unto the woman he said, I wiU greatly 
multiply thy sorrow and tliy conception ; in sor- 
row thou shalt bring forth childien ; and thy 
desire shall be |1 to thy husbai.d, and he shall 
'^ iiiie over thee. 

1 7 And unto Adam he said, * Because tliou hast 
hearkened unto the Aoice of thy Mife, y and hast 
eaten of the tree, of which I commanded thee, 
saying. Thou shalt not eat of it : ^ curbed is the 
ground for thy sake ; in sonov.- shalt thou eat of 
it all the days of thy life ;

11 And °I will establish my covenant with 
you ; neitlier shall all flesh be cut off any more by 
the waters of a flood ; neither shall there any mere 
be a flood ^ to destroy the earth. 

12 And God said, '^ This is die token -of the 
covenant \\'hich I make between me and you and 
every living creature that is with you, for perpe- 
tual generations : 

13 ''I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall 
be for a token of a covenant between me and the 
earth. 

14 'And it shall come to pass, -when I bring a 
cloud over the earth, that the bow shall be seen 
in the cloud : 

15 * And I will remember my covenant, which 
is between me and you, and every living creature 
of all flesh; and the waters shall no more become 
a flood to destroy all flesh. 

16 And the bow shall be in the cloud ; and I 
will look upon it, " that I may remember the ever- 
lasting covenant between God and * every living 
creature of all flesh that is upon the earth. 

17 And God said unto Noah, ^ This is the to- 
ken of the covenant, which I have established be- 
tween me and all flesh that is upon the earth. 

18 1[ And the sons of Noah, that went forth of 
the ark, were Shem, and Ham, and Japheth : and 
Ham is the father of t Canaan. 

19 These are the * three sons of Noah : and of 
them ^was the whole earth overspread. 

20 And Noah began to bean ^ husbandman, and 
he planted a vineyard : 

21 And he drank of the wine, *= and was drunk- 
en ; and he was uncovered Avithin his tent. 

22 And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the 
nakedness of his father, and told his two bre- 
thren without. 

23 And "^ Shem and Japheth took a garment, and 
laid it upon both their shoulders, and went back- 
A\'ai-d, and covered the nakedness of their father ; 
and their faces ivere backward, and they saw not 
their father's nakedness. 

24 And Noah awoke from his wine, and knew 
what his younger son had done unto him. 

25 And he said, ^ Cursed be Canaan ; ^a servant 
of servants shall he be unto his brethi'en. 

26 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of 
Shem ; and Canaan shall be '| his sei-vant. 

27 God shall || enlarge Japheth, ^ and he shall 
d^\ ell in the tents of Shem ; and Canaan shall be

Abra7n mid Lot go into Egypt : CHAP. 

Havan : aiid they went Ibrth to go into the land of 
^ Canaan : and into the land of Canaan they came. 

6 '[['And Abram ' passed tlirough the land unto 
the place of' Sichem, unto the plain of * Moreh. 
And the Canaanite was then in the land. 

7 And the Lord appeared unto Abram, and 
said, •" Unto thy seed will I give this land : and 
there builded he tm " altar unto the Lord, who 
appeared unto him. 

8 And he removed from thence unto a moun- 
tain on the east of Beth-el, and pitched his tent, 
having Beth-el on the west, and Hai on the east ; 
and there ° he builded an altar unto the Lord, 
and called upOn the name of the Lord. 

9 And Abram journeyed, t going on still to- 
ward the P south. 

10 1[ And there was a ^ famine in the land : 
and AlDram went down into "^ Egypt to sojourn 
there ; for the famine was grievous in the land. 

11 And it came to pass, \^hen he was come 
near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sar^ai 
his wife, Behold now, ' I know that thou art a 
fair woman to look upon : 

12 Therefore it shall come to pass, when the 
Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say. This 
is his wife ; * and they will kill me, but they will 
save thee alive. 

13 Say, " I pray thee, thou art my sister ; that 
it may be w ell with me for thy sake ; and my 
soul shall live because of thee. 

14 T[ And it came to pass, that when Abram 
was come into Egypt, the Egyptians * beheld 
the woman, that she was very fair. 

15 The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and 
commended her before Pharaoh ; y and the wo- 
man was taken into Pharaoh's house. 

16 ^ And he entreated Abram v/ell for her 
sake : and he had sheep, and oxen, and he-asses, 
and men-serv^ants, and maid- servants, and she- 
asses, and camels. 

17 And the Lord ^ plagued Pharaoh and his 
house ^vith great plagues, because of Sai'ai, 
Abram 's wife. 

18 And Phai'aoh called Abram, "^ and said. 
What is this that thou hast done unto me ; why 
didst thou not tell me tliat she was thy wife ? ' 

19 Why saidst thou, She is my sister ? so. I 
might have taken her to me to \\\i<t : now, there- 
fore, behold thy v.dfe, take her, and go thy way. 

20 '^ And Pharaoh commanded his men con- 
cerning him : and they sent him away, and his 
wife, and all that he had.

on the name of the Lord. 

5 And Lot also, Mhich went with Abram, had 
flocks, and herds, and tents. 

6 And the land was * not able to bear them, that e chap. 
they might dwell together : for their substance 
\\as great, so that they could not dwell together. 

7 U And there was a ^ strife between the herd- 
men of Abram 's cattle and the herdmen of Lot's 
cattle. And the ^ Canaanite and the Perizzite \^^- 
dv/elt then in the land. Neh.'s.g. 

8 And Abram said unto Lot,- ^ Let there be no a«s7\^36?

1 God eucoiirngeth Abram. 2 Abram comphwieth 
for want of an heir. 4 Godpromiscth him a son, 
and a multiplying of his seed. 6 Abram is justi- 
fied by faith. 7 Canaan is promised again, and 
confirmed by a sign, 12 and a vision. 

AtTER these things the word of the Lord 
came unto Abram in a * vision, saying, *• Fear 
not, Abram : 1 am thy shield, «W thy exceeding 
" great reward. 

2 U And Abram said. Lord God, ^ what wilt 
thou give me, seeing I go childless, and the stew- 
ard of my house is this PUiezer of Damascus '? 

3 And Abram said. Behold, to me thou hast 
given no seed : and, lo, ' one bom in my house 
is mine heir. 

4 % And, behold, the word of the Lord came 
unto liim, saying, This shall not be thine heir ; 
but he diat shall ^ come forth out of thine ow n 
bowels, shall be thine heir. 

5 And he brought him forth abroad, and said. 
Look now toward hea\cn, « and tell tne stars, if 
thou be able to number diem. And he said unto 
him, ^ So shall thy seed be. 

6 TI And he ' believed in the Lord ; and he 
counted it to him for lighteousness. 

7 H And he said unto him, I <^7/7z the Lord 
'' that brought due out of Ur of the Chaldees, ' to 
give dice this land to inherit it. 

8 And he said. Lord God, "" whereby shall I 
know that I shall inherit it ? 

9 And he said unto him, " Take mc an heifer 
of direc years old, and a she-goat of three years 
old, and a ram of three years old, and a turtle- 
dove, and a young pigeon. 

10 And he took unto him all these, and " di- 
vided diem in the midst, and laid each piece one 
against another : ^ but tlie birds divided he not. 

11 And'' when the fowls came down upon die 
carcases, Abram dn)\e diem away. 

12 li And when die sun was going down, •■ a 
deep slet p fell upon Abram ; and, lo, ' an honor 
of great darkness fell upon him. 

13 And he said unto .'Vbram, ' Know of a sure- 
ty that diy seed shall be a .stianger in a land that 
is not theirs, and shall sen'c them ; and they shall 
afflict them four hundred years. 

1 4 And also that nation, w hom dicy shall se^^'e,

AND Abraham journeyed from ^ dicnce to-

j tween "^ Kadesh and Shur, and sojourned in 
■= Gerar. 

2 And Abraham said of Sarah his wife, •• She 
is my sister : And Abimelech king of Gerar sent 
and t(xjk Siirah. 

3 But God came to Abimelech in a dream by 
night, and .said to liim, Behold, "Xhow art but Vi 

I dead man, for the w oman \\ hich thou hast taken ; 
ij for she is f a man's wife. 

4 But Abimelech had not come near her : and 
he said, Lord, ' wilt thou slay also a righteous 
nation .'' 

5 Said he not unto me, She is my sister ? and 
she, e\ en she herself, said. He is my brother : in 

I the II integrity of my heart, and innocency of 

I mj- hands, ha\e I done this. 

I 6 And God said imto him in a dream, Yea, 
I know that thfni diust this in the integrity of 
thy heart; ^for I also withhekl thee from sin- 
ning ag-ainst me : therefore suffered I thee not to 
touch her. 

7 Now, therefore, restore the man his wife ; 
for he is a prophet, and ''he shall pray for thee, 

land thou shalt live: and if diou resto:e her not, 
know thou that thou shiiit surelj' die, thou, "and 
all that are thine. 

8 Therefore Abimelech rose early in the 
morning, and called all his scnauts, and t' Id 
all these things in th.eir cars : and die men were 
sore afraid. 

9 11 'I'hen Abimelech called Abraliam, and 
siiid unto him, ''\\'hat hast thou done unto us.*' 
and what have I oiieneleel tliee, that thou hrisf 
brought on nie, and on my kingdom, a great sin r 

i thou hast done deeds unto me that ought not to 
be done. 

10 And Abimelech said inito Abraham, Wliat 
sawest thou, that thou hast done this thing ? 

11 And .\briiham said, Because I thought, 
Surely, die fear of God /V not in this place ; 'and 

! tliej' ^\ ill slay me for my w ife's sake. 
I 12 And yet indeed she is my sister; ""she is 
; the cUuighter of my father, but not the daughter 
of my mother; anel slie became my v'lic. 

13 And it came to pass, " \\hen God caused 
me to wander from my father's house, that I s-iid 
unto her. This is thy kindness which thou shalt 
shew unto me ; at e\ cry place w hither we shall 
come, " siiy of me. He is my brother. 

14 H And Abimelech took p sheep, and oxen, 
and men-ser\ ants, and w onien-ser\;ints, aiul 
g-ave them unto Abraliam, and restored him 
Sarali his w ife. 

15 And Abimelech said, Bclif>kl, my land is

16 And unto Sarah he said. Behold, I have

And the servant had said', It is my master : there-

66 And the servant told Isaac all things that he

29 Esaii selleth his birthright. 

THEN again Abraham * took a wife, and her 
name ivas Keturali. 

2 And '' she bare him Zimran, and Jokshan, 
and Medan, and Midian, and Ishl^ak, and Shuah. 

3 And Jokshan begat *= Sheba and Dedan. And 
the sons of Dedan Vvere Asshurim, and Letushim, 
and Leummim. 

4 And the sons of * Midian ; Ephah, and 
Epher, andHanoch,and Abidah, and Eldaah. All 
these %vere the children of Keturah. 

5 H And * Abraham gave all that he had unto 
Isaac. 

6 But unto the sons of the concubines Avhich 
Abraham had, Abraham gave gifts, ^and sent 
them aw ay from Isaac his son, while he yet lived, 
eastward unto the east country. 

7 And these are the days of the years of Abra- 
ham 's life which he lived, an hundred threescore 
and fifteen years. 

8 Then Abraham gave up the ghost, ^ and died 
in a good old age, an old man, and full of years : 
''and was gathered to his people. 

9 And his sons Isaac and Ishmael * buried him 
in the cave of Machpelah, in the field of Ephron 
the son of Zohar the Hittite, which is before 
Mamre ; 

10 *'The field which Abraham purchased of 
the sons of Heth : ' there was Abraham buried, 
and Sarah his \\ ife. 

11 *[[And it came to pass after the death of 
Abraliam, that God blessed his son Isaac ; and 
Isiiac d\velt by the ™ well Lahai-roi. 

12 1 Now these are the generations of Ishmael, 
Abraham's son, "whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sa- 
rah's handmaid, bare unto Abraham : 

13 And "these are the names of the sons of Ish- 
rnael, by their names, according to their genera-

Kedar, and Adbeel, and Mibsam, 

14 And Mishma, and Dumah, and Massa, 

15 pHadar, and Tema, Jetur, Naphish, and 
Kedemah r 

16 These are the sons of Ishmael, and these 
are their names, by their towns, and by their cas- 
tles ; 1 twelve princes according to tlieir nations. 



17 And these are the years of the life of Ish- 
mael, an hundred and thirty and seven years : 
and "■ he gave up the ghost and died ; and was ga- 
thered unto his people. 

18 ^\nd they d\\ elt from ' Havilah imto Shur, 
that is before Egypt, as thou goest towards Assy-

19 IT And these are the generations of Isaac, 
■^ Abraham's son : Abraham begat Isaac : 

20 And Isaac was forty years old when he 
took Rebekah to wife, '' the daughter ofBethuel 
the Syrian of Padan-aram, ^ the sister to Laban 
the Syrian. 

21 And Isaac in treated the Lord for his wife, 
because she ivas barren : ^ and the Lord w^s in- 
treated of him, *and Rebekah his wife conceived. 

22 And the children struggled together within 
her ; and she said. If it be so, why a7n I thus ? 
And she went to ^ enquire of the Lord. 

23 And the Lord said unto her. Two nations 
are in thy womb, and two manner of people shall 
be separated from thy bowels ; and t/ie one people 
shall be stronger than the other people ; and *= the 
elder shall serve the younger. 

24 If And when her days to be delivered were 
fijlfiUed, behold, ^ there were twins in her womb. 

25 And the first came out red, ^ all o\'er like

27 And the boys grew : ^ and Esau was a cun-

28 And Isaac loved Esau, because t he did eat 
oihis venison : 'but Rebekah loved Jacob. 

29 T[ And Jacob sod pottage : tuid Esau came 
from the field, and he was faint. 

30 And Esau said to Jacob, Feed me, I pray 
thee, t with that same red pottage: for I am faint : 
therefore was his name called Edom. 

31 And Jacob said, Sell me this day thy birth-

of tlie Philistines unto Genir. 

2 And the Lou n ai)(K'ared unto liim, and said,

3 ** Sojourn in this land, and I will l)e with thee,

perform the 'oath which I s\Mire unto Abraham 
thy father ; 

4 ^' .\ik1 I will make thy seed to multiply as the 
stars of heaven, and will give unto thy seed all 
these countries ; and in thy seed shall ''all the na- 
tions of the earth be bles.sed ; 

5 Because ' that Abraham obeyed my voice, 
and kept nu charge, my commandments, my sta- 
tutes, and ni\' law s. 

6 lif And Is;iac dwelt in ''Gerar : 

7 And the men of the place asked him of his 
wife ; ' and he said, She is my sister ; ■" for he 
feared to sa\', S/ie is my \\ ife ; lest, scid he, the 
men of the place should kill me for Rebekah; 
" bcciuise she ivas fair to look upon. 

8 And it came to pass, when he had been there 
a long time, that Abinuleih king of the Philis- 
tines IfKjked out at a window, and s;uv, and, be- 
hold, Isaac ii\ s sporting w ith Relxkah his wife. 

9 And Abimelech Cidled Isaac, and said, Be- 
hold, of a surety she is thy wife : and how saidst 
thou. She is my sister .' and Isaac siiid unto him, 
Beaiuse I said, ° Lest I die for her. 

10 And Abimelech .said, Wliat /.vthis thou hast 
done unto us . one of the pe(>ple might lightly have 
lain with thy wife, ^and thou sliouldest have 
brought guiltiness upon us. 

1 1 .\nd AbinK-lech chiuged all his people, say- 
ing, ''He that toucheth this mail or his wife sliall 
surely be put to death. 

12 Then Isa;\c sowed in that land, and + receiv- 
ed in the sinue year "^iui hundred-fold : 'and the 
Lord blessid him : 

l.l And the man waxed great, and t went for- n 
ward, ' and grew until he lx,came very great : 

11 For he had possession of flocks, and pos- 
session of herds, and great store of || ser^■ants ; 
and the Philistines "envied him. 

15 For all the * wells which his father's servants 
had digged in the days f)f .\bniham his lather, die 
Philistines had stopped them, and filled them 
with earth. 

16 .And Abimelecli said imto Isaac, Go from 
us ; '' for thou art much mightier than we. 

17 Ti .\nd Isaiic departed thence, and pitch- 1 
cd his tent in the valley of Ger.ir, and dwelt 
there. 

18 And Isaac digged again the wells of water, 
which "they had digged in the days of Aliraham 
his father ; for the Philistines hacl stopped them 
after the death of Abraham : and he cxtllcd their 
names after die names by ■ which his father had

22 And he " remo\ed from tlience, and digged

23 And he went up from thence to Beer-

24 And the Lord appeared tuito him the same

father; ""fear not, « for \ am with thee, and will

Abmham's sake. 

25 ' And lie builded an altar there, ^and called 
upon the name of the Lor n, and pitched his tent 
there

26 11 Then Abimelech went to him from Ge- 
rar, and Ahuzzath one of his friends, and ' Phichol 
the chief captain of his army. 

27 And Isiuic s;iid unto them, WHierefore come 
ye to me, seeing ye hate me, and have .scut me

28 And they said, t ^^^c saw certainly that tJic

32 And it came to pass the same day, that

AND he heard the words of Laban's sons, * say- 
ir.g, Jacob hath taken an^ay all that %vas our 
father's ; and of that which %vas our father's hath 
he gotten all this '' glory. 

2 And Jacob beheld the countenance of Laban, 
and, behold, it ivas not tow aixl him t as before. 

3 And the Lord said unto Jacob, '^ Return unto 
the land of thy fathers, and to thy kindied ; and 
I will be with thee. 

4 And Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah 
to the field unto his flock, 

5 And said unto them, ^ I see your father's 
countenance, that it is not toward me as before : 
but the God of my father hath been ^vith me. 

6 And ye know * that with all my po\\'er I have 
sensed your father. 

7 And your father hath deceived me, ^ and 
changed my wages ^ ten times; but God suffered 
him not to hurt me. 

8 If he said thus, ^ The speckled shall be thy 
M-ages ; then all the cattle bai-e speckled : and if 
he said thus. The ring-straked shall be thy hire ; 
then bai-e all tlie cattle ring-straked^ 

9 ' Thus God hath taken aw^ay the cattle of your 
father, and given them to me. 

10 And it came to pass at the time that the cat- 
tle conceived, that I lifted up mine eyes, and saw 
in a dream, and, behold, the il rams ^\"hich leaped 
upon the cattle were ring-straked, speckled, and 
gi'isled. 

1 1 And the "^ angel of God spake unto me in a 
dream, saying, Jacob : And I said. Here am I. 

12 And he said. Lift up now thine eyes and see, 
all the rams w^liich leap upon the cattle are ring- 
straked, speckled, and grisled : for I ha^'e seen all 
that Laban doeth unto dice. 

13 I am the God of Beth-el, ^ ^^-here thou 
anointedst the pillar, and where thou -vowedst a 
\a\v unto me : now arise, ™ get thee out from this 
land, and return unto the land of thy kindi'ed. 

14 i\.nd Rachel and Leah answered and said 
unto him. Is there yet any portion or inheritance 
for us in our father's house ? 

15 Are we r-ot counted of hiin strangers : ° for 
he hath sold us, and hath quite devoured also our 
money. 

16 ° For all the riches which God hath taken 
from our fatlier, that is our's, and our children's : 
no\\then whatsoeverGodhath said unto thee, do. 

17 Ti Then Jacob rose up, and set his sons and 
his wives upon camels ; 

_ 18 And he carried away all his cattle, and all 
his goods which he had gotten, the cattle of his 
getting, which he had gotten in p Padan-aram ; for 
to go to Isaac his father in the land of "^ Canaan. 

19 And Laban went to shear bis sheep : and 
Rachel had stolen the "" t images that were her 
father's. 

20 And Jacob stole away t unawares to Laban 
the Syi-ian, in that he told him not that he fled. 

21 So he fled wAth. all that he had ; and he rose 
up, and passed over the ri^'er, * and set his face 
toward the mount Gilead.

Jacob was fled.

30 And now, though tliou wouldest needs be chap.28. "

31 And Jacob answered and said to Laban, Be- fudg^ "'

wouldest take by force thy daughters from me. 

32 _With whomsoever thou findest thy gods, 

^ let him not live : before our bretliren discern thou ^ ,<^p-

Jacob knew not that Rachel had stolen tliem. 

33 And Laban went into Jacob's tent, and into 
Leah's tent, and into the two maid-sen-ants' 
tents ; but he found them not. Then ^\-ent he out 
of Leah's tent, and entered into Rachel's tent. 

34 Now Rachel had taken tlie images, aiidput 
them in the camel's furniUu-e, and sat upon them.

searched, but found not the images. 

36 T[ And Jacob was wToth, and chode with

4 And Shcchem spiikc unto his fatlier Hamor, 
siiying, "^ Get me this damsel to w if'e. 

5 And Jacol3 heard that he hiul defiled Dinah 
his cLiughter : now his sons were \\ ith his cuittle 
in the field : *• and Jacob held his ixacc until they 
were come. 

6 % And Hamor the father of Shcchem Mcnt 
out unto Jacob to commune with him. 

7 And the sons ol Jacob came out of the field 
^vhcn they heard //.• and tlie men were grieved, 
'and they were ver\- wroth, *^l5ccause he had 
wrought folly in Israel in lying withJacob'sdaugh- 
tcr ; « which thing ought not to be done. 

8 Anil Hamor communed w ith them, saying, 
The soul of my son Shcchem longeth for your 
daughter : I pray you gi\ e her him to \\ ife. 

9 And make ye marriages with us : and give 
your daughters unto us, and take our daughters 
unto you. 

10 And ye shall dwell w ith us : ^ and the land 
shall Ix before you ; dwell and ' trade ye therein, 
and ^ get you possessions therein. 

1 1 And' Shcchem s^iid unto her father and unto 
her brethren. Let me find grace in your eyes, and 
what ye shall s;iy unto me I will give. 

1 2 Ask me ne\ er so ' much dow ly and gift, and 
I w ill gi\ e according as \ e shiill say unto me : but 
gi\c me the damsel to w ife. 

13 And the sons of Jacob answered Shcchem 
and Hamor his iiithcr "' deccitfullj;, and said, (be- 
aiuse he had defiled Dinah their sister) 

14 .Vnd they s;iid unto them. We cannot do 
this thii.g, to give our sister to one that is uncir-

people. 

17 But if yc w ill not hearken unto us, to be cir- 
cumcist d ; then w ill we take our daughter, and 
we w ill Ix- gone. 

18 And their words pleased Hamor, itnd Shc- 
chem Hamor's son. 

19 And the young man deferred not to do the 
thing, p Ixcause he hatl delight in Jacob's daugh- 
ter : Jind he '' was more hoiiounible than all the

8 ^ But Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and 
she was buried beneath Beth-el under an oak : 
and the name of it was allied !l AUon-bachuth. 

9 II And God appeared unto Jacob again, when 
he came out of Padan-ai~am, and blessed him. 

10 And God said unto liim, Thy name is 
Jacob; diy name shall not be called any more 
Jacob, ' but Israel shall be thy name ; and he cal- 
led his name Israel. 

11 And God said unto him, ^ I ^w God Al- 
mighty ; be fruitHil and multiply ; a nation and a 
company of nations shall be of thee ; and kings 
shall come out of thy loins : 

12 And the land ^vhich I gave Abraham and 
Isaac, to thee I \^-ill give it ; and to thy seed after 
thee, will I give the land. 

13 'And God went up from him in the place 
where he talked with him. 

14 ^ And Jacob set up a "" pillar in the place 
where he talked ^vith him, even a pillar of stone ; 
and he poured a cWnk-offering thereon, and he 
poured oil thereon. 

15 And Jacob called the name of the place 
where God spake with him, Beth-el. 

16 TI And they journeyed fi-om Beth-el ; and 
there was but t a little way to come to Ephrath : 
and Rachel travailed, and she had hard labour. 

17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard 
labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not ; 
diou shalt have this son also. 

18 And it came to pass, as her soul was in de- 
parting, (for she died,) that she called his name 
II Ben-oni ; but his father called him || Benjamin. 

19 And Rachel died, and was buried in the 
way to "^ Ephrath, which is Beth-lehem. 

20 ° And Jacob set a pillar upon her grave : 
that is the pillar of Rachel's gi"a\'e unto this day. 

21 And Israel journeyed, and spread his tent 
bej'ond the tower of Edar. 

22 And it came to pass, when Israel dwelt in 
that land, that Reuben went and p lay with Bil- 
hah, his father's concubine : and Israel heard it. 
Now the sons of Jacob were t\\elve : 

23 T[ The sons of Leah ; "^ Reuben, Jacob's

of Bilhali, and u ith the sonsof Zilpah, his latiier's 
wives; "and Joseph brought unto his father their 
evil report. 

3 NoA\ Israel loved Joseph more than all his 
children, ''because he ivas die son of his old age 
and he made him a coat ofmany jj colours. 

4 And w hen his brethren saw that their father ?"«'»• 
loved him more than all his brethren, ' they hated j/^IJJPv 
him, and could not speak peaceabl}" inito him. *9. w'. 

5 U And Jose pli dreamed a dream, and he told 
// his brethren : and the\- hated him yet the more. 

6 And he s;iid unto tlum. Hear, I pray you, 
this dream w hich I have dreamed : 

7 For, behold, we were binding sheaves in the 
field, and, lo, my sheaf arose, and also stood up- 
right; and, behold, ''your sheaves stood round 4^6'^^. 
about, and made obeisance to my sheaf. "^ ^; *" 

8 And his brethren said to him, Shalt thou 
indeed reign over us ? or sliiilt thou indeed have 
dominion o\ er us ? And the>' hated him yet the 
more for his dreams, and lor his w ords. 

9 T[ And he dreamed yet anotlier dream, and 
told it his brethren, and ssiid, Behold, I have 
dreamed a dream moie ; and, Ijchold, ' the sun, echai'- 
and the moon, and the ele\ en stiu-s, made obeis- 
ance to me. 

10 And he told it to his father, and to his 
brethren : and his father rebuked him, and said 
unto him, What is this dream that thou hast 
dreamed ? Shall I, and thy mother, luid diy 
brethren, indeed come to bow down ourselves 
to thee, to the earth ^ 

11 And his brethren envied him; *^but his f Pt.wT.43, 
father observed the saying. 

12 Tf And his brethren went to feed their 
fiither's flock in Shechem. 

13 And Israel said unto Joseph, Do not thy 
brerhren f'. ed the flock in Shecht m ? come, and I 
will send thee unto them. And he said unto him, 
Here am I. 

14 And he said to him. Go, I pray thee,

well with the Hocks; and bring n\e word agiiin. »l'^*^; 
K So he sent him out of the vale of Hebron, and ciup-'a/e

him, saying, What seekest thou t 

16 And he s;\id, I seek my bi-ethren : *'tell me, bc»nt.: 
I pray thee, where they feed I heir flocks. 

17 And the man said. They aie departed

20 Come now, therefore, and let us slay liim, 
and cast him into some pit ; and \ve will say, 
Some evil beast hath deA'oured him : and we 
shall see what Avill become of his dreams. 

21 T[And 'Reuben heard zV, and he delivered 
him out of their hands ; and said, Let us not 
kill him. 

22 And Reuben said unto them, Shed no 
blood, but cast him into this pit that is in the wil- 
derness, and lay no hand upon him, that he 
rnight rid him out of their hands ™ to deliver 
him to his father again. 

23 TfAnd it came to pass when Joseph was 
come unto his brethren, that they stripped Joseph 
out of his coat, his coat of many H colours, that 
ivas on him ; 

24 And they took him, aild cast him into a pit: 
and the pit was empty, there was no water in it. 

25 "And they sat down to eat bread : and they 
lifted up their eyes, and looked, and, behold, a 
company of "Ishmeelites came from Gilead, with 
their camels bearing spicery, and balm, and 
m^rrh, going to carry ij down to EgJT)t. 

26 And Judah said unto his brethren. What 
profit is it if we slay Our brother, and conceal his 
blood .? 

27 Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeel- 
ites, and let not our hand be upon him ; for he is 
our brother, and our flesh. And his brethren 
twere content. 

28 Then there passed by Midianites, merchant-

the pit, Pand sold Joseph to the Ishmeelites for 
twentj'^ pieces of silver : and they brought Joseph 
into Egjq:)t. 

29 ^And Reuben returned unto the pit ; and, 
behold, Joseph was not in the pit : and he rent his 
clothes. 

30 And he returned unto his brethren, and 
said, 1 The child is not ; and I, whither shall I 
go? 

_ 3 1 T[And they took Joseph's coat, and killed a 
kid of the goats, and dipped the coat in the blood : 

32 And they sent the coat of ma?iy colours, 
and they b.f-ought it to their father ; and said, 
This have we found : know now whether it ^d" tlw 
son's coat, or no. 

33 And he knew- it, and said, It is my son's 
coat ; an ''e-vdl beast hath devoured him ; Joseph 
is without doubt rent in pieces. 

34 And Jacob ^rent his clothes, and put sack- 
cloth upon his loins, and mourned for liis son 
many daj-s. 

35 And all his sons, and all his daughters, rose 
up to comfort him ; but he refused to be com- 
forted : and he said. For I Avill go down into the 
grave unto my son mourning. Thus his father 
wept for him. 

36 HAnd the Midianites sold him into Egypt

went down from his bretbj-en, ""and turned ll"^"^^ 
in to a certain Aduliamite, ^",'hose name ivas

whose name nvas Tamar. 

7 And ^£r, Judah's first-bom, xvas wiclyed

8 And Judah said unto Onan, Go in unto thy 
brother's wife, and marry her, and raise up seed 
to thy brother. 

9 ^And Onan knew that the seed should not be ^J'^^^- 
his : and it came to pass, when he went in unto 

his brother's wdfe, that he spilled it on the ground, 
lest that he should give seed to his brother. ^^^ 

10 And the thing which he did, fdispleased -aias^vn in 
tiie Lord : ^wherefore he slew him also. IfVf^e"

Shelah my son be grown : (for. he said. Lest per- 
adventure he die also, as his brethren did. J And 
Tamar went and d«^elt in her father's house.

13 And it was told Tamar, saying, Behold, 
thy father-in-law goeth up to Tiiimath to sheai-

14 And she put her widow's garments off 
from her, and covered her with a vail, and Avrap- 

ped herself, and sat in tan open place, which is \^f-. 
by the way to Timnath : for she saw that Shelah Iflyes"^, 
was grown, and she was not given unto him to "p^^" T"i

15 When Judah saw her, he thought her to be 
an harlot ; because slie had coA'cred her face. 

16 And he turned unto her by the way, and 
said, Go to, I pray thee, let me come in unto thee ; 
(for he knew not that she was his daughter-in-

that thou mayest come in unto me .''

diat he had, ''that the Lord blessed the Egyp- 
tian's house for Joseph's sake ; and the blessing of 
the Lord was upon all that he had in the house, 
and in the field. 

6 And he left all that he had in Joseph's hand ; 
and he knew not aught he had, save the bread 
which he did eat : 'and Joseph was a goodly per- 
son, and w ell-favoured. 

7 II And it came to pass, after these things,

neither hath he kept back any thing from me but 
thee, because thou art his w ife : f how then can I 
do this great wickedness, ''and sin against God ? 

10 And it came to pass, as she spake to Joseph 
day by day, that he hearkened not unto her, to lie 
by her, or to be with her. 

1 1 And it came to pass, about this time, that 
Joseph went into the house to do his business ; 
and tJiere was none of the men of the house there 
within. 

12 And 'she caught him by his garment, say- 
ing, Lie w ith me : and he left his garment in 
her hand, and fled, and got him out. 

13 And it came to pass, when she s;uv that he 
had left his giunient in her hand, and was fled 
forth, 

14 That she called unto the men of her house, 
and spake unto them, saying. See, he hath brought 
in an Hebrew unto us to mock us : he came in 
unto me to lie witli me, and 1 cried with a t loud 
voice : 

1 5 And it came to pass, \\hen he heard that I 
lifted up my \oice, and cried, that he left his gar- 
ment w ith me, and fied, and got him out. 

16 And she laid up his garment by her, until 
his lord came home. 

17 ''And she spake unto him according to these 
words, siuing. The Hebrew ser\ant, which thou 
hast brought unto us, came in unto me to mock 
me : 

18 And it came to pass, as I lifted up my\oice 
and cried, that he left his gamicnt with me, and 
fled out. 

19 And it came to pass, when his master heard 
the words of his wife, which she spake unto him, 
saying. After this manner did thy servant to me : 
'that his wrath was kindled.

CHAP. XL. 

1 The butler afid baker of Pharaoh in prison: 4 Jo- 
seph nath charge of them : 5 he interpreteth 
their dreams : 20 they come to pass according to 
his interpretation. 23 The butler's ingratitude. 

AND it came to pass after these things, that 
the ^butler of tiie king of Egv^t, and his 
baker, had offended their lord die king of 
•EgjTt. ' . 

2 And Phai-aoh was wroth against t^'io of his 
officers, against the chief of the butlers, and agamst 
die chief of the bakers. 

3 '' And he put them in waid, in the house of 
the ciiptain of the guard, into the prison, the place 
\\ here Joseph %vas bound. 

4 And the captain of die guard charged Joseph 
with them, and he served them ; and they conti- 
nued a season in ward. 

5 ^ <= And they dreamed a dream both of them, 
each man his dream in one night, each man ac- 
cording to the interpretation of his dream ; the 
buder and the baker of the king of Egj-pt, ^Ahich 
were bound in the prison. 

6 And Joseph came in unto them in the morn- 
ing, and looked upon them, and, behold, they 
ivei-e sad. 

7 And he asked Pharaoh's officers, that were 
with him in the ward of his lord's house, saying, 
Wherefore t look ye so sadly to-day t 

8 And they said unto him, "^We have dreamed 
a dream, and there is no interpreter of it. And 
Joseph said unto them, ^Do not interpretations 
belong to God ? tell me them, I pray you. 

9 And the chief butler told his dream to Joseph, 
and said unto him, In my dream, behold, a vine 
was before me ; 

10 And in the vine ivere three branches : and it 
was as though it budded, and her blossoms shot 
forth ; and the clusters thereof brought forth ripe 
grapes. 

11 And Pharaoh's cup was in my hand : and I 
took the grapes, and pressed them into Pharaoh's 
cup, and I ^^iy& the cup into Pharaoh's hand. 

12 And Joseph said unto him, 'Thisw the 
interpretation of it: ?The three branches are 
three days. 

13 Yet \\ ithin three days shall Pharaoh || lift up 
thine head, and restore thee unto thy place : and 
thou shalt deUver Pharaoh's cup into his hand, 
after the former manner when thou Vvast his 
butler. 

14 But t think on me when it shall be well with 
thee, and shew kindness, I pray thee, unto me ; 
and make mention of me unto Pharaoh, and bring 
me out of this house : 

15 For indeed I Avas stolen away out of the 
land of the Hebrews ; '' and here also ha\'e I done 
nothing that they should put me into the dim- 
geon. 

16 When the chief baker saw that the inteipre- 
tation was good, he said unto Joseph, I also was

birds did eat them out of die basket, upon my 
head. 

18 And Joseph ansv.ered and said, ' This is die 
interpretation thereof: The diree baskets are 
three days. 

19 ^ Yet Avitliin three days shall Phai-aoh || lift 
up diy head fi-om off thee, and shall hang tliee on 
a tree ; and the birds shall eat- thy flesh from off

20 H And it came to pass die third day, ivhich 
was Pharaoh's birth-day, that he made a feast 
unto all his servants ; and he || lifted up the 
head of the chief butler, and of the chief baker, 
among his ser\"ants. 

2 1 ^ And he restored the chief buder unto liis 
butlership again ; and he gave the cup into Pha-

AND it came to pass, at the end of two full 
yeai's, that ^Pharaoh di'eamed; and, behold, 
he stood *" by the riAcr. 

2 And, behold, there came up out of the river 
seven well-favom-ed kine, and fat-fleshed; and they 
fed m a meadow. 

3 And, behold, seven other kine came up after 
them, out of die ri\er, ifl-favoured, and lean- 
fleshed ; and stood by the other kine, upon the 
brink of the river. 

4 And the ill-favoured and lean- fleshed kine did 
eat up die seven well-favoiu"ed and fat kine. So 
Pharaoh awoke. 

5 And he slept, and dreamed the second time ; 
and, behold, seven ears of coi-n came up upon 
one stalk, f rank and good. 

_6 And, behold, seven thin ears, " and blasted 
with the east wind, sprung up after them. 

7 And the se\ en tliin ears devoured the seven 
rank and ftiU eai's. And Pharaoh awoke, and, 
^ behold, it was a dream. _ 

8 And it came to pass in the morning, • that his 
spirit was troubled ; and he sent, and called for 
ail the magicians of Egypt, and all the m ise men 
thereof: and Pharaoh told them his dreams ; but 
there was none that could inteipret them unto 
Pharaoh. 

9 ^ Then spake the chief butler unto Pharaoh, 
saying, I do remember my faults this' day. 

10 ^ Phai^ach ■was \\ roth a\ ith his sen-ants, and 
put me in ward in the captain of the guard's 
house, ^0//? me and the chief baker. 

11 And v,-e di^eamed a dream in one night, I

Pharaoh'' s dream interpreted: GEN 

and we told him, and « he interpreted to us our 
V.1 reams : to each man according to his dream he 
did intcn^ict- 

13 And it came to pass, as he interpreted to us, 
so it was : nic he restored unto mine office, and 
him lie hanged. 

14 H'^Thcn Pharaoh sent, and called Joseph, 
and they t brought him hastily out oi' the dun- 
geon : and he shaved himself, and clianged his rai- 
ment, and came in unto PlKU~aoh. 

15 And Pharaoh s:iid unto Joseph, I have 
dreamed a dream, luid (here is none tkit can in- 
teqiret it : ;md 1 h;i\ e heard say of thee, that 
JIthou canst understand a dream, to interpret it. 

16 And Josei)h answered Pharaoh, saying, // 
is not in me : 'God shall gi%e Pharaoh an answer 
of ix?ace. 

17 And Phanif)h xiid unto Jo.scph, "' In my 
dream, behold, i sKxjd upon the bank of the ri- 
ver : 

18 And, behold, there came up out of the river 
seven kine, fat-Heshed, and well-favoured; and 
they fed in a meadow : 

19 And, beliokl, .seven other kine came up af- 
ter them, poor, and ver>' ill-fa\ oiued, and lean- 
fleshed, such as I never saw in all tlie land of 
Kg>'pt for b;idness : 

20 And the lean and the ill-favoured kine did 
eat up the first se\en fat kine : 

21 And when they had f eaten them up, it could 
not Ix; kno\\ n that the>- had eaten them : but they 
ivtre still ill-favoured as at the beginning. So I 
awoke. 

22 And I saw in my dream, and, behold, seven 
ears came up in one stidk, full and good. 

23 And, Uhoid, seven ears, || wiUiered, thin, 
fl7j</ blasted with the east wind, sprung up after 
them : 

24 And the thin ears devoured the seven good 
ears. 'And I told this ni.to the m;igicians; but 
there luas none that eould declare it unto me. 

2.S ^ And Joseph s;iid unto Phanioh, The dream 
of Ph:ir<ioh is one : '" God hath shew ed Pharaoh 
wluit he is about to do. 

26 'llie SI ven go<Kl kine are seven years : and 
the seven good ears are seven years : the dream is

27 .'Vnd the seven thin and ill-favonrcd kine, 
that canu up after them, arc .seven years ; and the 
seven empty ears blasted with tlie east wind, 
"shall be s( ven years of famine. 

28 " This /5 the thing which I have spoken unto 
Pharaf)h : w hat God is alx)Ut to do, he sheweili

33 Now, therefore, let Pharaoh look out a man 
discreet and \\ ise, and set him over the Umd of 
Egypt. 

34 Let Phai-aoh do th 's, and let him appoint 
I II officers over the land, » and take up the fifth 

part of the land of Egypt, in the seven plenteou;> 
jears. 

35 * And let them gather all the food of those

36 And that food shall be for store to the land, 
against the seven years of famine, w hich shall be 
in the land of Egypt ; " that the land f perish not 
through the famine. 

37 And the thing w as good in the eyes of Pha-

38 If And Pharaoh said unto his ser\'ants. Can 
we find such a one as this is, " a man in whom the 
Spirit of God is ? 

39 And Phiu-aoh s^id unto Joseph, Forasmuch 
as God hath shewed thee all this, there is none so 

i discreet and wise as thou art : 

40 *Thou shait be over my house, and accord-

only in the throne will 1 be greater than thou. 

41 And Pharaoh siiid unto Joseph, *See, I have 
set thee o\'er all the land of Egypt. 

42 And Pharaoh took off his ring from his hand, 
and put it upon Joseph's hand, and arrayed him 
in ^•estures of II line linen, and put a gold chain 
about his neck : 

43 And he made him to ride in the second cha- 
riot >vhich he had; ''and they cried before him, 
II t Bow the knee : and he made him ruler o\ er 
all the land of Egvpt. 

44 And Phanioh said unto Joseph, I am Pha-

hand or foot, in all the land of Eg\pt. 

45 And Pharaoh called Joseph's name || Zaph-

47 And in the seven plenteous years, the earth 
brought forth by handfuls. 

48 And he gathered up all the food of the seven 
yeai's, which were in the land of Egypt, and laid 
up the food in the cities: the food of the field, w hich

the land of my affliction. 

S\!> *[f And the se^'en years of plenteousness, that 
was in the land of Eg\'pt, Avere ended. 

54 "And the se\en years of dearth began to 
come, according as '^Joseph had said: aiid the 
demth \\ as in all lands ; but in all the land of 
Egypt there was bread. 

i5 And A\ hen all the land of Eg3T)t \vas famish- 
ed, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread : and 
Phai'aoh said unto all the Egj-ptians, Go unto Jo- 
seph ; ^\■hat he saith to you, do. 

56 And the famine was OAcr all the face of the 
earth. And Joseph opened t all the store-houses, 
*and sold unto the Egyptians ; and the famine 
u axed sore in the land of Egypt. 

57 'And all countiies came into Eg>-pt to Jo- 
seph, for to buy corn ; because that the famine was 
so sore in all lands. 

CHAP. XLII. 
1 Jacob smcleth his ten sons to buy corn in Egypt. 
16 They are imprisoned by Joseph for spies. 18 
They are set at liberty, on condition to bring Ben- 
jamin. 21 They have remorse for Joseph. 24: Si- 
meon is kept for a pledge. 25 They return %vith 
corn, and their money . 29 Their relation to Jacob. 
36 Jacob refuseth to send Benjamin. 

NOW, when Jacob ^ saw that there was com 
in Egvpt, Jacob said unto his sons, Why do 
ye look one upon another ? 

2 And he said, Behold, I have heard that there 
is com in Egypt ; get you down thither, and buy 
for us from thence ; ^that we may hve, and not 
die. 

3 And Joseph's ten brethren went douTi to buy 
com in Eg>pt. 

4 But Benjamin, Joseph's brother, Jacob sent 
not with his brethren : for he said, " Lest perad- 
venture mischief befal him. 

5 And the sons of Israel came to buy corn 
among those that came ; *for the famine was in 
the land of Canaan. 

6 If And ^Joseph ivas the governor over the 
land, and he it ivas that sold to all the people of 
the land : and Joseph's brethi-en came, and bo\Aed 
down themselves before him, with their feces to 
the earth. 

7 And Joseph saw his brethren, and he knew 
them, but made himself strange unto them, and 
spake t roughly unto them ; and he said unto 
them. Whence come ye .' And they said. From 
the land of Canaan to buy food. 

8 And Joseph knew his brethren, but they knew 
not him. 

9 And Joseph ^remembered the dreams which 
he dreamed ot them, and said U',:to them, Ye are 
spies : to see the nakedness of the land ye are 
come. 

10 And they said unto him, Nay, my lord; but 
to buy food aie thy servants come. 

11 We are all one man's ::ons; we are ti'ue 
men, thy serviuits ai^e no spies. 

12 And he said unto them, ^Nay, but to see the 
nakedness of the land ye are come.

■ 13 And tliey said. Thy sei^ants are twelve bre- 
thren, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan ; ^^ 
and, behold, the youngest is this day A\ith our fa- j^^hap. 
ther, '^and one is not. '^'^- 2"- 

14 And Joseph said unto them, That is it that 
I spake unto you, saying. Ye are spies. 

15 Herein ye shall be proved: 'By the life of ^i cqr. 
Phai-aoh, ye shall not go forth hence, except your 
youngest brother come liither. 

16 Send one of you, and let him fetch your 
brother, and ye shall be j kept in prison, tliat your t Heb. 
words may be proved, whetJier there be any truth '^"'^' 
in you : or else, by the life of Phai-aoh, surely ye 
are spies. 

17 And he t put them all together into ^\-ard, ^^^^^^^

18 And Joseph said unto them the third day, 
This do, and live ; ^Jor I fear God. t Lev-.

bound in the house of your prison ; go ye, carry 

com for the famine of your houses : 

20 But ^ bring your youngest brother mito me : ichap.43.* 
so shall your words be verified, and ye shall not 

die. And they did so. 

21 ^ And they said one to another, ™We are m job 
verily guilty coiiceming our brother, in that we H(k%.%.' 
saw the anguish of his soul when he besought us, 

and M'C Mould not hear : therefore is this distress 
come upon us. 

22 And Reuben answered them, saying, " Spake 
I not unto you, saying. Do not sin against the 
child ? and ye would not hear ; therefore, "behold, 
also his blood is required. 

23 And they knew not tliat Joseph understood 
them ; for t he spake unto tliem by an inter- 
preter. 

24 And he turned himself about from them, 
and wept ; and returned to them again, and com- 
muned with them, and took from them Simeon, 
and bound him before tlieir eyes. 

25 W Then Joseph ^commanded to fill their sacks 
with com, and to restore ever>' man's money into 
his sack, and to gi\"e tliem pro^^sion for tlie way : 
and thus did he unto them. 

26 And they laded their asses \\ ith the com, 
and departed thence. 

27 "J And as one of them opened his sack to gi^'e 
his ass provender in the inn, he espied his money; 
for, behold, it was in his sack's mouth. 

28 xVnd he said unto his brethren, iVIy m^oney 
is restored : and, lo, it is even in my sack : and 
their heaitt failed ZAr/??, and they were afraid, say- 
ing one to another, What is this that God liath 
done unto us ^ 

29 % And they came unto Jacob their father, 
unto tlie land of Canaan, and told him all tliat be- 
fel unto them, saying, 

30 The man, w/io is the lord of the land, 
spake t roughly to us, and took us for spies of the

30 And Joseph made haste; ' for his bowels did 
yearn upon his brother: and he sought where to 
weep ; and he entered into his chamber, ^ and 
wept there. 

3 1 And he washed his face, and went out, and 
refrained himself, and said. Set on bread. 

32 And thej^ set on for him by himself, and for 
them by themselves, and for the Egyptians which 
did eat with him by themselves, because the Egj-p- 
tians might not eat bread v\ ith the Hebrev^ s; * for 
that is ^n abomination unto the Egyptians. 

33 And they sat before him, the first-bom 
according to his birthright, and the youngest ac- 
cording to his youth : and the men mai-velled one 
at another. 

34 And he took and sent messes unto them from 
before him : but Benjamin's mess ^vas ^ five times 
so much as any of theirs. And they drank, and

AND he cornmanded t the steward of his 
house, saying, ^ Fill the men's sacks xcith 
food, as much asthey can carry, and put every 
man's money in his sack's mouth. 

2 And put my cup, the silver cup, in the sack's 
mouth of the youngest, and his corn-money. 
And he did according to the word that Joseph had 
spoken. 

3 As soon as the morning was light, the men 
were sent away, they and their asses. 

4 Aiid\\\\sxv they were gone out of the city, and 
not yet far off, Joseph said unto his steward, Up, 
follow after the men, and, when thou dost over- 
take them, say unto them. Wherefore have ye re- 
warded evil for good ? 

5 Is not this it in winch my lord di-inketh, and 
whereby indeed he H divineth I ye have done evil 
in so doing. 

6 1[ And he overtook them, and he spake unto 
them these same words. 

7 And they said unto him, \Vherefore saith my 
lord these words ? God forbid that thy sez^ants 
should do according to this thing. 

8 Behold, ^ the money ^\hich we found in our 
sacks' mouths, we brought again unto thee out of 
the land of Canaan : how then should we steal 
out of thy lord's house, silver or gold ? 

9 With v^'homsoever of thy servants it be found, 
'^ both let him die, and we also will be my lord's 
bondmen. 

10 And he said. Now also let it he according 
unto your words : he, with \\'hom it is found, 
shall be my servant; and ye shall be blameless. 

1 1 Then they speedily took down every man his 
sack to the ground, and opened everj^man his sack.

and left at the youngest; and the cup was found

I Joseph maketh himself known to his brethren : 
5 he comforteth them in Gud''s providence: 9 he 
sendethfor hisj'ather .-16 Phariwh confirmeth 
it: 21 Joseph furnisheth them for their jour- 
ney^ and exhorteth them to concord. 25 Jacob 
is revived ivith the news. 

THEN Joseph could not refrain himself be- 
fore all them that stood by him; and he 
cried, Cause everj' man to go out from me. And 
there stood no man with him, \\ hile Joseph made 
himself knouii unto his brethren. 

2 And he f ^vent aloud : and the Egj-ptians 
and the house of I haraoh heard. 

3 And Joseph said unto his brethren, ' I a;;; 
Jo.stph : doth my father yet li\ c .' And his bre- 
thren could not answer him ; for they were 

II troubled at his presence. 

4 And Joseph said unto his brethren, Come 
near to me, I pray you. And diey came near. 
And he said, I am Joseph your brother, whom 
ye sold into Eg}pt. 

5 Now, therefore, be not grieved, j norangr>- 
\\ ith \ ourseK es, that ye sold me hither : '' for 
God did send me before you to preser\e life. 

6 For these two ye;irs hath the famine been in 
the land : and >et t/ure are fix'c yeiu's, in the 
w hich there shall neidier be eaiing nor har^•est. 

7 .Vnd God sent me before you \ to preserve 
5'ou a posteriij- in the eailh, and to sa\e your 
lives by a gicat deliverance. 

8 So now, /"/ was not you that sent me hither, 
but God: and he hath made me a 'father to 
Pharaoh, iuid lord of all his house, and a ruler 
Ujroughout all the land of Egypt. 

9 Haste ye, and go up to my father, and sa}' 
unto him, Thus saith thy son Joseph, God hath 
made me lord of all Egypt ; come down unto 
me, t;uTy not. 

10 * And thou shalt dw ell in the land of Go- 
shen, and thou shalt be near unto me, thou, and 
thy chiltlrcn, :uul thy children's children, and thy 
flocks, and tliy herds, and all that thou hast : 

11 And there will I nourish thee, (lor yet 
there are five years f)f famine,) lest thou and 
thy household, and all that thou hast, come to 
po^erty. 

12 And, Ixhold, your eyes see, and the eyes 
of my brother Benjamin, * that it is my mouth 
that s|Hakclh unto vou. 

13 And >e shall tell my father of all my 
glor\' in Eg> pt, and f)f all that ye ha\ e seen ;

\W And he fell upon his brother ncnjamin|s 
neck, and wept ; iuid Benjamin wept upon his 
neck. 

15 Moreover, lie kissed all his brethren, and 
w ( pt upon them : and after tliat his brethren

17 And Pharaoh said unto Joseph, Say unto 
thy brethren. This do ye ; lade your beasts, and 
go, get you unto the land of Canaan, 

1 8 And take jour father and your households, 
and come innto me ; and I will give you the goocl 
of the lm)d of Egjpt, « and ye shall eat the fat of 
the land. 

19 Now thou art commanded, this do ye; 
Take you waggons out of tlie land of Egjpt for 
your little ones, and for your w ives, and bring 
j'our father, and come. 

20 Also t regard not your stuff: for the good 
of all the land of Egypt is yours. 

21 li And the childi-en of Israel did so: and 
Joseph ga\e them waggons, according to the 
t commandment of Pharaoh, and ga\ e them pro- 
vision for the w ay. 

22 I'o all of them he ga\e each man changes 
of raiment; but to Benjamin he gave three hun- 
dred pieces of siher, '"luid five changes of raiment. 

23 And to his father he sent after this manner; 
ten asses f laden with the good things of Egj-pt, 
and ten she-asscs laden w ith corn and bread, and 
meat for his father by the way. 

24 So he sent his brethren away, and they de- 
parted : and he said unto them, * See that ye fall 
not out by the way. 

25 II And they went up out of Eg\i)t, and 
came into the land of Canaan, unto Jacob their 
father, 

26 And told him, sa\ing, Joseph is yet alive, 
and he is go\enior over all the land of Egjpt. 
And t Jacob's hecut fainted, for he believed them 
not. 

27 And they told him all the words of Joseph, 
which he had said unto them : and \\ hen he saw 
the \\ aggons which Josei)h had sent to cam' him, 
the spirit of Jacob their father rcvi\ed.

Joseph's dealing in the famine : GENESIS 

of the years of my pilgrimage are an hundred and of the 
thirty yciu-s : ^ few and evil have the days of the 
ye;irs of my life lx.'(ii, 'and have not attiiined unto 
the 'days of the yeiirs of the life of my fathers, in 
tlK- days of their pilgrimage. 

10 And Jaeob (jjessed Pharaoh, and Avent out 
from liefore Pharaoh. 

11^ And Joseph placed his father and his bre- 
thren, and gave them a possession in the land of 
Kg\pt, in the best of the land, in the land "' of 
l{;imeses, as Plviraoh liad commanded. 

12 And Joseph nourished his father, and his 
brcthix-n. iuul all his father's household, wiUi 
bread, ||f according to t//cir families. 

13 1 And t/ierc was no bread in all the land : 
for the famine was \e\y soie, " so that the land of 
Kg\pt, and (.//the landoi' Canaan, fainted by rea- 
son of the famine. 

14 "And Joseph gathered up all the money that 
was found in the kuid of Egypt, and in the land 
of Canaan, for the com which they bought : 
and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's 
house. 

15 And when money failed in the hmd of 
Egypt, and in the land of Canaan, all the Egjp- 
tians came unto Joseph, and said. Give us bread : 
p for w h>- should we die in thy presence .' for the 
money faileth. 

16 And Joseph said, Give your catde ; and I 
will gi\e you for your cattle, if money fail. 

17 And they brought tlieir cattle unto Joseph : 
and Joseph ga\e them bread in exc/jantfe for 
horses, and for the Hocks, and for the cattle of die 
herds, and for the asses ; and he t led them with 
bread toi- all their Ciittle for that year. 

18 When that jear was ended', diey came unto 
him the second \ ear, and said unto him, We will 
not hide // from my lord, how that our money is 
spent ; my lord also hadi our herds of cattle : 
dK-re is not aught left in the sight of my lord, but 
our bodies, and our lands. 

19 Wherefore shall we die Ix; fore thine eyes, 
both we and our land ? ** bu\' us and our land for 
bread, and we and our land will be scnants vmto 
Phai-aoh ; and gi\e us seed, that \\c may live and 
not die, that the land be not desolate. 

20 And Josejih bought all the land of Egypt for 
Pharaoh ; for the Ec;yptians sold vwts' man his 
field, Ix'cause the famine prevailed over them : 
so the land Ucame Phar.ioh's. 

21 And as for the people, he removed them to 
cities from one end of the borders of Eg)pt, even 
to the ot/wr end thereof. 

22 Only the land of the || priests bought he not: 
' for the priests had a portic^n assi^ncil fltcm of 
Pharaoh, and did eat ' their portion which Pha- 
raoh gave Uum ; wherefore they sold not dK'ir 
lands. 

23 ^ Then Joseph said unto tiie people, Behold, 
I have bought you this day, and jour land, for 
Phiinioh : lo, here is seed for you, ;md ye shall 
sow the land. 

24 And it shall come to pass, in the increase, 
that ye shall give the fifth fj</re unto Pharaoh : 
and four piirtn shall Ix* .\r)ur ()v\n. for seed

25 And they said. Thou hast saved our lives : 
' let us find grace in the sight of mj- lord, and we 
will be Ph;iraoh's senants. 

26 And Joseph made it a law over the land of 
Egjpt unto this day, that Pharaoh should have 
the fifth part^ "except the land of the || priests " ^''f- »•

8 If And Israel beheld Joseph's sons, and said, 
Who are these ? 

9 And Joseph said unto his father, ^ They are 
my sons, whom God hath given me in this place. 
And he said, Bring them, I pray thee, unto me, 
^ and I will bless them. 

10 C* Now the eyes of Israel were t dim for age, 
so that he could not see.) And he brought them 
near unto him ; ' and he kissed them, and em- 
braced them. 

11 And Israel said unto Joseph, ^ I had not 
thought to see thy face ; and, lo, God hath shelved 
me also th3' seed. 

12 And Joseph brought them out fi-om between 
his knees, and he bowed himself with his face to 
the earth. 

1 3 And Joseph took them both, Ephraim in 
his right hand, toward Israel's left hand, and Ma- 
nasseh in his left hand, towai'd Israel's right hand, 
and brought t/ie7n near unto him. 

14 And Israel stietched out his right hand, 
and laid it upon Epliraim's head, who ivas the 
younger, and his left hand upon Manasseh's head, 
guiding his hands ' wittingly ; for Manasseh was 
the first-born. 

15 And " he blessed Joseph, and said, God, 
before whom my fathers Abraham and Isaac did 
walk, the God which fed me all my life long unto 
this day, 

16 " The Angel which redeemed me from all 
evil, bless the lads ; and let my name be named 
on them, and the name of my fathers Abraham 
and Isaac ; and let them t grow into a multitude,

17 And when Joseph saw that his father laid 
his right hand upon the head of Ephraim, it 
displeased him : and he held up his father's hand, 
to remove it from Ephraim's head unto Manas- 
seh's head. 

18 And Joseph said unto his father, Not so, 
my father ; for this is the first-born : put thy right 
hand upon his head. 

19 And his father refused, and said, ° I know 
it, my son, I know it : he also shall become a 
people, and he also shall be great: ? but truly his 
younger brother shall be greater than he, and his 
seed bhall become a t multitude of nations. 

20 And he blessed them that day, saying, 1 1n 
thee shall Israel bless, saying, God make thee as 
Ephraim, and as Manasseh. And he set Ephraim 
before Manasseh. 

21 1[ And Israel said unto Joseph, Behold, t 
die ; "" but God shall be with you, and bring you 
again unto the land of your fathers. 

22 Moreover, ^ I ha\^e given to thee one por-

3 Issachai", Zebulun, and Benjamin, 

4 Dan, and Naphtali, Gad, and Asher. 

5 And all the souls that came out of the t loins 
of Jacob were ^ seventy souls : for Joseph was in 
Egypt already. 

6 And Joseph died, and all his brethren, and 
all that generation. 

7 •[[*= And the children of Israel were fruitful, 
and increased abundantly, and multiplied, and 
waxed exceeding mighty ; and the land was filled 
witli them. 

8 H'^Now there arose up a new king o^'er

9 And he said unto his people. Behold, the 
people of the childi'en of Israel are * more and 
mightier than we : - _ 

10 Come on, let us deal ^ wisely with them ; 
lest they multiply, and it come to pass, that, 
when there falleth out any war, they join also 
unto our enemies, and fight against us, and so 
get them up out of tlie land. 

11 Therefore they did set over them task- 
masters, ^ to afflict them with their burdens. 
And they built for Pharaoh treasure-cities, Pi- 
thom and ''Raamses. 

12 1 But the more they afflicted them, the more 
they multiplied and grew. And they were grieved 
because of the children of Israel. 

13 And the EgjiDtians made the childi-en of 
Israel to sene with rigour : 

14 And they made their lives bitter '■ with hard 
bondage, ^ in mortar, and in brick, and in all 
manner of service in tlie field : all their service, 
wherein they made them ser\'e, -jvljs \\ith rigour, 

15 And the king of EgjTpt spake to the He- 
brew midwives, of which the name of one ivas 
Shiphrah, and the name of the other Puah : 

16 And he said, When ye do the office of a

NOW Moses kept the flock of Jethro his

3 And Moses said, I will now turn aside,

4 And when the Lord saw that he turned 
aside to see, * God cjilled unto him out of the«i>e"t-

9 Now therefore, behold, the cry- of the chil-

seen the oppression wherew ith the Egyptians op-

10 Come now, therefore, and " I will send

5 llAnd Pharaoh said. Behold, the people of. 
the land now are 'many, and ye make them rest ! 
from their burdens. 

6 And Pharaoh commanded the same day the ] 
'' task -masters of the people, and their ofllcers, 
saying, | 

7 Ye shall no more gi\ e the people straw to ' 
make brick, as heretofore : 'let them go and ga- 
iher^traw Ic.r themselves. \ 

8 And the tale of the bricks, whi( h they did j 
make heretofore, ye shall lay upon them; ye; 
shall not diminish aught thereof: for lluy Ife idle ; 
theref(;rc they en', saying. Let us go and sacri 
fice to our God. 

y i lAt ihcre more work be laid upon the men 
that they may labour tlicrein ; and let them not 
regard viiin wnrdii; 



10 And the task-masters of the people went 
out, and dieir officers, and they spake to the 
people, saying. Thus saith Pharaoh, 1 ^\ill not 
gi\ e you straw . 

11 Go ye, get you straw where ye can 
find it: ''>et not aught of your work shall be 
diminished. 

12 So the people were 'scattered abroad 
throughovit all die land of Egypt to gather stub- 
ble instead of straw. 

13 And die *" tiisk-mastcrs hasted them, saying. 
Fulfil your works, your f daily tiisks, as when 
there was straw. 

14 And the officers of the children of Israel, 
which Pharaoh's task -masters had set over them, 
"were beaten, c/wr/ demanded, \Vlierefore have 
ye not fulfilled your task in making brick, both 
yesterday and to-day, as heretofore ? 

15 iThen the officers of the children of Israel 
came and ° cried unto Pharaoh, saying, Where- 
fore dealest thou thus w ith thy ser\ ants ? 

16 There is no straw given unto thy servants, 
and they say to us. Make brick ; and, behold, 
thy servants ^are beaten; but the fault « in thine 
own people. 

17 But he said, Ye are idle, ye are idle : 
therefore ye say, ^Let us go and do sacrifice to 
the Lord. 

18 Go therefore now, and work : for there 
shall no straw be given you, yet shall ye deliver 
the tale of bricks. 

1 9 H And the officers of the children of Israel 
did see ^that they %vere in evil case, after it was 
said. Ye shall not minish aught from your bricks 
of your daily task. 

20 And they met Moses and Aaron, who 
stood in the ^vay, as they ciime forth from 
Ph:u~aoh : 

21 And they said unto them, »The Lor d look 
upon you, and judge ; because ye have made our 
savour f to be ' abhorred in die eyes of Pharaoh, 
and in the eyes of his servants, to put a sw ord in 
their hand to slay us. 

22 ^ And Moses returned unto the Lor d, and 
said, Lor d, wherefore hast thou so evil-entreated 
this people ? w hy is it that thou hast sent me ? 

23 For since I came to Pharaoh to speak in 
thy name, he hath done evil to this people ; t nei- 
ther hast thou deli\ ered thy people at all.

co\ered the land of Egj-pt.

and said, ^Intreat the Lord, that he may tiike 
away the frogs from me, and from my people ; 
and I will let the people go, that diey may do sa-

out of the villages, and out of the fields.

17 And they did so; for Aaron stretched out

The plague of flies i CHAP. IX. 

19 Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, 
p This is the finger of God : '^ and Phai'aoh's heail 
was haixlened, and he hearkened not unto them ; 
as the Lord had said. 

20 IT And the Lord said unto Moses, ' Rise up 
early in the morning, and stand before Phai^aoh ; 
lo, he Cometh forth to the water; and say unto 
him, Thus saith the Lord, Let my people go, 
that they may serve me. 

21 Else, if thou wilt not let my people go, be- 
hold, I will send || swarms of flies upon thee, 
and upon thy servants, and upon thy people, and 
into thy houses : ^ and the houses of the Egyp- 
tians shall be full of swai"ms of flies, and also the 
ground whereon they ore. 

22 And ' I will sever in that day the land of 
Goshen, in which my people dwell, that no 
s\\'arms of flies shall be there ; to the end thou 
mayest know that I am the Lord in the midst of 
the earth. ''^ 

23 And I will put t a division between my peo- 
ple and thy people : || to-morro'w shall this sign be. 

24 And the Lord did so ; and "* there came a 
gi'ievous s\vai-m of flies into the house of Pharaoh, 
and into his sen-ants' houses, and into all the land 
of Egypt : the land was || corrupted by reason of 
the swarm of flies. 

25 If And Pharaoh called for Moses, and for 
Aaron, and said, Go ye, sacrifice to your God 
in the land. 

26 And Moses said. It is not meet so to do ; 
for \\e shall sacrifice the ^ abomination of the 
Egj-ptians to the Lord our God: lo, shall we 
sacrifice the abomination of the Egyptians be- 
fore their ej^es, and will they not stone us .-" 

27 We will go tliree days' jouniey into the wil- 
derness, and sacrifice to the Lord our God, as 
^ he shall command us. 

28 And Pharaoh said, I will let you go, that 
ye may sacrifice to the Lord your God in the 
wilderness ; only ye shall not go very far away : 
^ intreat for me. 

29 And Moses said. Behold, I go out from 
thee, and I will intreat the Lord that the sAvanns 
of flies may depait from Pharaoh, from his ser- 
vants, and from his people, to-morrow : but let 
not Pharaoh deal " deceitfully any more in not 
letting the people go to sacrifice to the Lord. 

30 And Moses went out from Pharaoh, ^ and 
intreated the Lord : 

31 And the Lord did according to the word of 
Moses ; and he remoA-ed the swanns of flies from 
Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people :

beast. 

11 And the magicians ^ could not stand before ^sffg^P'^-

34 And wIku Pharaoh saw that the rain

40 IF Now the sojouniing of the children of 
Israel, who dwelt in Egypt, ivas "^ four hundred 
and thirty years. 

41 And it came to pass at the end of the 
four hundred and thii'ty years, even the ^self-same 
day it came to pass, that all the hosts of the 
Lord went out from the land of Egj'pt. 

42 It is t ^ night to be much obsei-ved unto 
the Lord, for bringing them out from the land 
of Egj'pt: this is tliat night of the Lord to be 
observed of all the children of Israel in their 
generations. 

43 ^And the Lord said unto Moses and 
Aaron, This is the ordinance of the passover : 
there shall *no stranger eat thereof: 

44 But every man's servant that is bought for 
monej^ when thou hast circumcised him, then 
shall he eat thereof. 

45 8 A foreigner and an hired servant shall not 
eat thereof. 

46 In one house shall it be eaten ; thou shalt 
not carrj^ forth aught of the flesh abroad out 
of the house ; ^ neither shall j^e break a bone 
thereof. 

47 All tlie congregation of Israel shall f keep 
it. 

48 And when a '■ stranger shall sojourn with 
thee, and will keep the passover to the Lord, let 
all his males be circumcised, and then let him 
come near and keep it ; and he shall be as one 
that is bom in the land : for no uncircumcised 
person shall eat thereof. 

49 ^ One law shall be to him that is home- 
bom, and unto the stranger that sojoumeth 
among you. 

50 Thus did all the childi'en of Israel ; as the 
Lord commanded Moses and Aaron, so did 
they. 

51 And it came to pass the * self- same day, that 
the Lord did bring the childi'en of Israel out of 
the land of Egypt bv their '"armies. 

CHAP. xm. 

1 The first-born are sanctijied to God. 3 The memo- 
rial of the passover is commanded. 1 1 The first- 
lings of beasts are set apart. 17 The Israelites go 
out of Egypt, and carry Joseph''s bones --imth 
them. 20 They come to Etham. 21 God guideth 
them by a pillar of a cloud, and a pillar of fire. 

AND ^the Lord spake unto Moses, saying, 
2 Sanctifj- unto me '' all the first-bom, 
,whatsoe\'er openeth the A^omb among the 
children of Israel, both of man and of beast : it 
is mine. 

3 ^ And Moses said unto the people, " Remem- 
ber this day, in which ye came out from Egypt, 
out of the house of f bondage ; for by strength of 
hand the Lord brought you out from this place: 
there shall no leavened bread be eaten. 

4 This day came ye out in the month ^Abib. 
■ 5 ^ And it sheill be, when the Lord shall bring 
theeinto the land of the ^Canaanites, and the 
Kittites, and the Amorites, and the Hivites, and

7 Unleavened bread shall be eaten seven days ; 12. w/ie. 
and there shall no leavened bread be seen v.ith 
thee, neither shall there be ^ leaven seen ^\ith 
thee in all thy quarters. 

8 H And thou shalt ^ she^\■ thy son in that \^'

Egypt. 

9 And it shall be for a ' sign unto thee upon i ver. le.

mouth : for with a strong hand hath the Lord 
brought thee out of Eg>-pt. 

10 Thou shalt ^ therefore keep this ordinance \^^^;^^^

13 And every firstling of " an ass thou shalt n^xuLiT* 
redeem ^ith a i[ lamb ; and if thou v ilt not "• "• ' 
redeem it, then thou shalt break his neck : and ' °'' *"^" 
all the first-bom of man among thy childi-en 
° shalt thou redeem. » J^'«mb-

15 And it came to pass, when Pharaoh would

16 And it shall be for a ^ token upon thine s^ver. 9.

17 H And it came to pass, when Pharaoh had 
let the people go, that God led them not through

THEN ^sang Moses and the children of 
Israel this song unto the Lord, and spake, 
saying, I will sing unto the Lord, ''for he hath 
triumphed gloriously : the horse and his rider 
hath he thro^^■n into the sea. 

2 The Lord is my strength and song, and he 
is become my salvation : he is my God, and I 
will prepare him an habitation; 'my father's 
God, and I will exalt him. 

3 The Lord is a "^man of wai': the Lord is 
his name. 

4 Pharaoh's * chai-iots and his host hath he cast 
into the sea : his chosen captains also ai^e disown- 
ed in the Red sea. 

5 The depths ha^•e coA'ered them : ^tliey sank 
into the bottom as a stone. 

^ 6 2 Thy right hand, OLord, is become glo- 
rious in power: thy right hand, O Lord, hath 
dashed in pieces the enemy. 

7 And in the greatness of thine excellency 
thou hast o\'erthroA\ n them that rose up against 
thee : thou sentest forth thy AMath, "^ which con- 
sumed them as stubble. 

8 And ' ^\ith the blast of thj- nostrils the \^"aters 
\yere gathered together, the floods stood up- 
right as an heap, and the depths A\ere congealed 
in the heait of the sea. 

9 The enemy said, I Mill pursue, I will o^'er- 
take,^ I ^ will divide the spoil ; my lust shall be 
satisfied upon them ; I will draw mj- sword, mx 
hand shall || desti'oy them. 

10 Thou didst blow with thy wind, the sea 
covered them : ^ they sank as lead in the mightj^ 
waters. 

11 WTio is like unto thee, O Lord, among 
the II gods .'' who is like thee, glorious in holi- 
ness, fearful in praises, "" doing wonders ? 

12 Thou stretchedst out thy right hand, tlie 
earth swallo'\\ed them. 

13 Thou in thy mercy hast led forth the peo- 
ple %\:/iich thou hast redeemed : tliou hast guided 
t/ie7n in thy strength unto "tliy holy habitation. 

14 "The people shall heai-, a?id be afraid:

Palestlna. . 

1 5 p Then the dukes of Edom shall be amazed ; 
the mightj' men of Moab, ^trembling shall take

shiill melt aAtay. 

16 ""Fear and dread shall fall upon them; by 
the gi-eatness of thine arm they shall be as still as

"^the Lord brought again the waters of the seauchap.w.

not find it in the field.

JEHOFAH-nissi. 

AND all the congregation of the children of 
Israel ^joumeyedfrom the wilderness of Sin, 
after their journeys, according to the command- 
ment of the Lord, and pitched in Rephidim: 
and there was no \\ater for the people to drink. 

2 W herefore the people did ''chide with Mo- 
ses, and said, Gi^e us water that we may drink. 
And Moses said unto them, Why chide you with 
me ? Wherefore do '^ j'e tempt the Lord ? 

3 And the people thirsted there for water; and 
the people murmured ^ against Moses, and said. 
Wherefore is this that thou hast brought us up 
out of Egypt to kill us and our children and our 
cattle with thirst ? 

4 And Moses ^cried unto the Lord, saj'ing, 
\\'hat shall I do unto this people ? they be almost 
ready to ^ stone me. 

5 And the Lord said unto Moses, Go on be- 
fore the people, and take with thee of the elders 
of Israel; and thy rod, wherewith ^thou smotest 
the ri\'er, take in thine hand, and go. 

6 Behold, I will stand before thee there upon 
the rock in Horeb; and thou shalt ^ smite the 
rock, and there shall come water out of it, that 

■ the people may drink. And Moses did so in the 
sight of the elders of Israel. 

7 And he called the name of the place 
jl Massah, and || Meribah, because of the chid- 
ing of the children of Israel, and because they 
tempted the Lord, saying, Is the Lord among 
us, or not : 

8 IF 'Then came Amalek, and fought witli 
Israel in Rephidim. 

9 And Moses said unto ^Joshua, Choose us 
out men, and go out, fight \\ ith Amalek : to- 
morrow I \\ ill stand on the top of the hill witli 
the 'rod of God in mine hand. 

10 fco Joshua did as Moses had said to him, 
and fought with Amalek : and Moses, Aaron, 
and Hur, w ent up to the top of the hill. 

1 1 And it came to pass, ""when Moses held up 
his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let 
dov\ n his hand, Amalek prevailed. 

12 But Moses' hands were heaA'y; and they 
took a stone, and put it inider him, and he sat 
thereon ; and Aai-on and Hur stayed up his hands, 
the one on the one side, and the other on the 
other side ; and his hands m ere steady until the 
going do'vvn of the sun. 

13 And Joshua discomfited Amalek and his 
people with the edge of the sword. 

14 And the Lord said unto Moses, Write

WHEN Jethro, ^the priest of Midian, Moses' ^^"^^ 
father- in-law% heard of all that ''God had 2. w. i>- 
done for Moses, and for Israel his people, '^''^bpl^-s.s,? 
that the Lord had brought Israel out of Egjpt ; 

2 Then Jediro, Moses' father-in-law, took Zip- 
porah, Moses' wife, ■= after he had sent her back, c cha?. 

3 And her two sons; of which the "^name of ^ chap. 
the one was \\ Gershom ; for he said, I have been 2- 22- 
an alien in a strange land : I I^'ngZ' 

4 And the name of- the other was \\ Eliezer ; *^"^^-^^ ^ 
for the God of my father, said he, %vas mine my c^dxi

Pharaoh : 

5 And Jethro, Moses' father-in-la\\-, came 
with his sons and his ^\-ife unto Moses into the 
wilderness, ^ where he encamped at the mount |^ha^ 
of God : 

6 And he said unto Moses, ^ I th\- father-in-law f verse2. ?. 
Jethro am come unto thee, and thy wife, and her 

two sons Avith her. 

7 IF And Moses went out ^to meet his father-in- f^^g- ^ 
law, and did obeisance, ''and kissed him; and '8.2.' 
they asked each other of their f welfare : and \q'^11- 
they came into the teat. t Heb. 

8 And Moses told his father- in -la%v all that the ^'S^s-j?. 
Lord had done unto Phai-aoh and to the Egyp- 
tians for Israel's sake, and all the travail that had 

t come upon them by the way, and ' how the /,f^-,Ao«,

9 And Jethi'o rejoiced for all the goodness 20. u! 
wliichthe Lord had done to Israel, whom he 'Ps.r8.«. 
had delivered out of the hand of the Egyptians. 

10 And Jethro said, ''Blessed be the Lord, '^^^

Egj"ptians, and out of tlie hand of Phai-aoh, ^^•ho * '**'

11 Now I know diat the Lord is gi-eater than 

all gods : ' for m the thing wherein they dealt icimp. r. 
"'proudly, he was above them. 

12 And Jetlii'o, Moses' father-in-law, took a

13 IF And it came to pass on the morrow, that 
Moses sat to judge the people : and the people 
stood by Moses fi-om die morning unto the

14 And when Moses' father-in-law sa\\-_ all that 
he did to the people, he siiid. What is this thing 
that thou doest to the people : Why sittest thou 
thyself alone, and all the people stiind by thee 
from morning vuito even ? 

15 And Moses said unto liis fatber-in-law. Be-

AND God spake all ^ these ^vords, saying, 
2 ''I am the Lord thy God, which have 
brought thee out of the land of Egj-pt, out of tlie 
house of t bondage. 

3 "= Thou shalt ha\-e no other gods before me. 

4 ^ Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven 
image, or an3" likeness of anij thing that is in hea- 
ven abo\'e, or that is in the earth beneath, or that 
is in the water under the earth : 

5 Thou shalt not ^ bow do^vn thyself to them,

upon the children unto the tliird and fourth ge- 
neration of them that hate me; 

6 And s shewing mercy unto thousands of tliem 
that lo^"e me, and keep my commandments. 

7 ^Thou shalt not take tlie name of the Lord 
thy God in ^^ain ; for the Lord will not hold him 
guiltless that taketh his name in ^"ain. 

8 ^Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy. 

9 ^ Six days shalt thou labour, and do all thy 
work : 

10 But the seventh day is the sabbath of the 
Lord thy God : in it thou shalt not do any work, 
thou, nor thy son, nor thy daughter, thy man- 
servant, nor diy maid-servant, nor thy cattle, nor 
^ thy sti'anger that is within thy gates : 

11 For ™ in six daj's the Lord made heaven 
and eai-th, the sea, and all that in them is, and 
rested the seventh day : wherefore the ° Lord 
blessed tlie sabbath day, and hallowed it. 

12 ° Honour thy father and thy mother : that 
thy days may be long upon the land which the 
Lord thy God giveth thee. 

13 p Thou shalt not kill.

powder, and sti-awed // upon the water, and made 
the children of Israel drink o/^/V. 

21 And Moses siiid unto Aaron, "^ What did 
this jKople inito thee, that thou hast brought so 
great a sin upon them ? 

22 TI And Aiuon siiid. Let not the anger of 
my lord A\ax hot : " thou know est the people, that 
they are set on mischief. 

23 For they siiid unto me, ^ Make us gods which 
shall go before us : for as for this Moses, the roan 
that brought us up out of the land of Egypt, 
we wot not what is become of hini. 

24 And I said unto them. Whosoever hath 
any gold, let them break /'/ oft. So they gave it 
me : then I cast it into the fire, ' luid there came 
out this calf. 

25 TI And w hen Moses saw that the people 
were naked (for Aaron had made them ^naked 
unto their shame, among f their enemies : ) 

26 Then Moses stood in the gate of the camp, 
and said, Who is on the Lord's side: let him 
cnmc imto me. And all the sons of Levi gather- 
ed themseh es together unto him. 

27 And he siiid unto them, Thus siiith the 
Lord God of Israel, Put eveiy man his sword 
by his side, and go in and out from gate to gate 
throughout the camp, and ^.slay even.- man his 
brother, and e\ery man his companion, and 
ever>- man his neighbour. 

28* And the children of Levi did ^'according to 
the word of Moses: and there fell of the people 
diat day about three thousiind men. 

29 II For Moses had said, f Consecrate \our- 
sclves to-day to the Lord, even everj- man up- 
on his son, and upon his brother ; that he may 
bestow upon you a blessing this day. 

30 1i And it came to pass on the moiTOW, 
that Moses said unto the people. Ye have sin- 
ned a great sin : luid now I w ill go up unto the 
Lord ; peradventure 1 shall make an atonement 
for your sin. 

31 And Moses returned unto the Lord, and 
said, Oh, this people have .sinned a great sin, 
'and have made them g<xls of gold. 

32 Yet ncnv, if thou w ilt, forgive their sin ; 
and if not, '' blot me, I pray thee, out of thy 
book whicli thou hast w rittcn.

35 And the Lord plagued the people, because 
" they made the calf ^vhich Aaron made. 

CHAP, xxxni. 

1 The Lord refuseth to go, as he had promised, 
vjith the people. 4 The people mourn thereat. 
7 The tabernacle is removed out of the camp. 9 
The Lord talketh familiarly with Moses. 12 Mo- 
ses desireihto see the glory of God. 

AND the Lord said unto Moses, Depart, and 
go up hence, thou, and ^ the people \^hich 
thou hast brought up out of the land of Egjpt, 
unto the land vvhich I s\\"ai'e unto Abraham, to 
Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ''Unto thy seed wiU 
I give it : 

2 And I ^vill send an angel before thee ; ' and I 
\^-iU cb'iNe out the Canaanite, the Amorite, and the 
Hittite, and the Perizzite, the Hivite, and the Je- 
busite : 

3 Unto a land flowing with milk and honey : for 
I will not go up in tlie midst of thee ; for thou 
art a "^ stiff"- necked people: lest I consume thee in 
the way. 

4 T[ And when the people heard these e\il tid- 
ings, they mourned : ^ and no man did put on 
him his ornaments. 

5 For the, Lord had said imto Moses, Say unto 
the children of Israel,Ye ar-e a stiff-necked people, 
I will come up into the midst of thee in a moment, 
and consume thee : therefore now ^ put off" thy or- 
naments from thee, that I s may know what to do 
unto thee. 

6 And the children of Israel stripped themselves 
of their ornaments by the mount Horeb. 

7 II And Moses took the tabernacle, and pitch- 
ed it Without the camp, afar off from the camp, 
and called it The ^ Tal^rnacle of the congregation. 
And it came to pas's, that txtvy one which 
sought the Lord, went out unto the taberna- 
cle of the congregation, which w^.j \'iithout the 
camp. 

8 And it came to pass, when Moses went out 
unto the tabernacle, thati^X the people rose up, 
and stood ever j' man 'at his tent door, and looked 
after Moses, until he was gone into the tabernacle. 

9 IF And it came to pass, as Moses entered into 
the tabernacle, the cloudy pillar descended, and 
stood at the door of the tabernacle, and ^ the 
LORD talked with Moses. 

10 And all the people saw the cloudy pillar 
stand at the tabernacle door : and all the people 
rose up ' and worshipped, every man in his tent 
door. 

11 And the Lord spake unto Moses "* face to 
face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he 
turned again into the camp : but his " servant 
Joshua the son of Nun, a young man, departed 
not out of the tabernacle. 

12 If And Moses said unto the Lord, See, 
tliou sayest unto me, ° Bring up this people : and 
thou hast not let me know whom thou wilt send

14 And he said, *■ My presence shall go with

yi And the Lord said unto Moses, I will do 
this thing also that thou hast spoken : for thou 
hast found grace in my sight, and I kno^\" thee by 
name. 

18 And he said, I beseech thee, ^ she%A' me thy x ver.so.

the Lord before thee ; ^ and vviil be gi^acious to a'/j„"

whom I will she^v mercy. 

- 20 And he said, '^ Thou canst not see my face : b^^™- 
for there shall no man see me, and li^•e. 

21 And the Lord said, Behold, there is a place 
by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock : 

22 And it shall come to pass, \vhile mj'- gloiy 
passeth by, that I will put thee_ in - a cleft of the "Stl'^ix.^

7 Keeping mercy for thousands, forgiving ini-

no means clear the guiliy ; ^ visiting the iniquity 
of the fatliers upon the children, and upon the 
cb.ildren's children, unto the third and to the 
ibinih gcticratioti. 

8 1[ And Moses made haste, and ' bowed his 
head tow ard the earth, and w orshipped. 

9 And he said, If now^ I have found grace in thy 
sight, O L u D , let my Lord, I pray thee, go among 
us ; for it is a stiff-necked people ; and pardon our 
iniquity and our sin, and take '' us for tliine inhe- 
ritance. 

10 11 And he said, Behold, ' I miike a co\enant :

12 p Take heed to thyself, lest thou miikc a

16 And thou take of ' their daughters unto thy

16 T[ I'hus did Moses : according to all that 
the LoK D commanded him, so did he. 

17 And it came to pass in the first month in 
the .second year, on the first day of the month, 
that the " tabernacle was reiu-ed up, 

1 8 And Moses reared up the tabernacle, and 
fiistened his sockets, and set up the boiirds there- 
of, and put in the bars thereof, and reared up his 
{Mllars. 

19 And he spread abroad the tent over the 
tabernacle, and put the "covering of the tent 
above upon it; as the Lord commanded 
Moses. 

20 And he took and put the ° testimony into 
the ark, and set the staves on the ark, and put 
the mercy- seat abo\ e upon the ark : 

21 And he brought the ark into the tiibemacle, 
and P set up die \d\\ of the covering, and co\erecl 
the ark of the testimony ; as the Lord com- 
manded Moses. 

22 And lie put the "J table in the tent of the con- 
gregation, upon the side of the tabernacle north- 
ward, witiioutthe vail. 

23 And he set the ^ bread in order upon it be- 
fore the Lord ; as the Lord had commanded 
Moses. 

24 And he put die 'candlestick in the tent of 
the congregation, over against the table, on tlie 
side of the tabernacle southward. 

25 And he ' lighted the lamps before the Lor d, 
as the Lord commanded Moses. 

26 And he put the "'golden altar in the tent of 
the coiTgregation before the vail : 



as 



27 And he burnt "sv.eet incense thereon ; 
the Lord commanded Moses. 

28 And he set up ^ the hanging at the door of 
the tabernacle. 

29 And he put the altar of bumt-offenng ^bij 
the door of the tabernacle of the tent of the con- 
gregation, and '' oft'ered upon it the burnt- offering 
and the mcat-oft'ering ; as the Lord commanded 
Moses. 

30 And he set the laver *= bet\\'een the tent of 
the congregation and the altar, and put water 
there, to wash -withal. 

3 1 And Moses and Aaron and his sons washed 
their hands and their feet thereat : 

32 When they wtni into the tent of the con- 
gregation, and when they came near unto the 
altar, they washed; '^ as the Lord commanded 
Moses. 

33 And he reared up the ' court round about the 
tabernacle and the altar, and set up the hanging of 
the court gate. So Moses finished the work. 

34 H ^Then a cloud covered the tent of the 
congregation, and the glory of the Lord filled 
the tabernacle. 

35 -\nd Moses was not ^able to enter into the 
tent of the congregation, because the cloud abode 
thereon, and the glory of the Lord filled the 
tiibemacle. 

36 And when the cloud ^vas taken up from 
over the tabernacle, '^ the childi-en of Israel f went 
onward in all their journeys : 

37 But if the cloud were not taken up, 'then 
they journeyed not till the day that it was taken 
up. 

38 For the cloud of the Lord tvas 'ui^on the 
tabernacle by day, and fire w as on it by night, in 
the sight of all the house of Israel, throughout all 
theirjourneys.

LIKEWISE ^ this is the law of the trespass- 
offering : '' it is most holy. 

2 In the place where they kill the burnt- offer- 
iiig ''shall they kill the trespass- offering : and the 
blood thereof shall he sprinkle round about upon 
the altai\ 

3 And he shall offer of it '^all the fat thereof; 
the rump, and the fat that covereth the inwai-ds, 

4 And the two kidneys, and the fat that is on

5 And the priest shall burn them upon the al- 
tar T^r an offering made by fire unto the Lord : 
it w a trespass- offering. 

6 * Every male among the priests shall eat 
thereof: it shall be eaten in the holy place : 
it is most holy. 

7 As the sin-oftering is, ^so is the trespass-of- 
fering : there is one law for them : the priest that 
maketh atonement therewith shall have it. 

8 And the priest that offereth any man's 
burnt-offering, even the priest shall have to 
himself the skin of the bunit-offering which he 
hath offered. 

9 And all the meat-offering that is baken in 
the oven, and all that is dressed in the frying- 
pan, and il in the pan, shall be the priest's that

day that he oftereth his sacrifice : and on the 
morrow also the remainder of it shall be eaten :

18 And xi any of the flesh of the sacrifice of 
his peace-ofterings be eaten at all on the third 
day, it shall not be accepted, neither shall it be 
" imputed unto him that oftereth it : it shall be 
an °a1 nomination, and the soul that eateth of it 
shall bear his iniquity. 

1 9 And the flesh that toucheth any unclean 
thing shall not be eaten ; it shall be burnt with 
fire : and as for the flesh, all that be clean shall 
eat thereof. 

20 But the soul that eateth o/'the flesh of the

any unclean beast, or any abominable unclean 
thing, and eat of the flesh of the sacrifice ofpeace- 
offerings, which pertain unto the Lord, even 
that soul shall be ' cut oft' from his people. 

22 T[And the Lord spake unto Moses, 
saying, 

23 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, 
'^Ye shall eat no manner of fat, of ox, or of 
sheep, or of goat. 

24 And the fat of the f beast that dieth of 
itself, and the fat of that which is torn with 
beasts, may be used in any other use: "^but 
ye shall in no wise eat of it.

blood, whether it be of fowl or of beast, in any 
of your dwellings. 

27 Whatsoever soul it be that eateth any man-

from his people. 

28 HAnd the Lord spake unto Moses, 
saying, 

29 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, 
\ He that offereth the sacrifice of his peace- offer-

31^ And Moses said unto Aaron and to his

bread that is in the basket of consecrations, as I 
commajided, .saying, Aaron and his sons shall 
eat it. 

32 And that which ^remaineth of the flesh and

for you. 

35 Therefore shall ye abide at the door of the 
tabernacle of the congregation day and night, 
seven days, and keep ^ the charge of the Lord,

3 And unto the children of Israel thou shalt 
speak, saying, Take ye ^a kid of the goats for a

first year, without blemish, for a burnt-offering; 

4 Also a bullock and a ram for peace-offerings, 
to sacrifice before the Lord ; and 'a meat-of- 
fering mingled with oil : ^ for to-day the Lord 
will appear unto you. 

5 And they brought that which Moses com- 
manded before the tabernacle of the congrega- 
tion : and all the congregation drew near and 
stood before the Lord. 

6 And Moses said. This is the thing which 
the Lord commanded that ye should do : and 
the s glory of the Lord shall appear- unto you. 

7 And Moses said unto Aaron, Go unto the 
altar, and offer thy sin-offering, and thy burnt- 
offering, and make an atonement for ^ thyself, 
and for the people : and offer the offering ' of the 
people, and make an atonement for them ; as

2 And t litre went out 'fire from the Lord,

3 Then Moses said unto Aaron, This is it tliat 
the Lord spake, saying, I will be sanctified in 
them that come nigh me. and before all the 
people I will be glorified. "^ And Aaron held his 
peace. 

4 And Moses called Mishacl and Elzaphan,

unto them. Come near, ^ carry your brctliren 
from before the sanctuary- out of the camp. 

5 So they went neiu% iuid ciuried them in their 
coats out of the camp ; as Moses had said. 

6 11 And Moses said unto Aaron, and unto 
Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons, ^ Unco\ er 
not your heads, neither rend jour clothes; lest 
ye die, and lest wrath come ''upon all the pco- 

?le : but let your brethren, the whole house of 
srael, bewail the burning which the Lord hath 
kindled. 

7 And ye shall ' not go out from the door of 
the tabernacle of the congregation, lest ye die : 
for the ajiointing oil of the Lord is upon you. 
And they did according to the word ''of Moses. 

8 1i And the Lord spake unto Aaron, say- 
ing, 

9 Do not' drink wine nor strong ckink, thou, 
nor thy sons with thee, when ye go into the ta- 
bernacle of the congregation, lest ye die : //

holy and unholy, and between unclean and 
clean ; 

11 And that ye "may teach the children of 
Israel all the statutes which the Lord hath spo- 
ken unto them by the haiid of Moses. 

^ 12 H And Moses spake unto Aaron, and unto 
Eleazar and unto Ithamar, his sons that w ere left, 
Take the meat-offering that remaineth of the of- 
ferings of thf Lord made by fire, and "eat it 
without leaven l>esidethe altar: for it/'.? most holy: 

13 And ye shall eat it in the holy place, be- 
cause it is thy due, and thy sons' due of the 
s; crifices of the Lord made by fire : p for so I 
am commanded. 

14 And •> the wave-breast and heave-shoulder 
shall ye eat in a clean place : thou, and thy sons,

Israel. 

1.5 The heave-shoulder and the wave-breast 
shall they bring w ith the ofterings made by fire 
of the fat, to wave it /or a wave-offering before 
the Lor d ; ' and it shall be thine, and thy sons' 
with thee, by a statute forever; as the Lord 
hath commanded. 

16 ^ And Moses diligently sought the • goat of 
the sin-ofll ring, and, behold, it was burnt: and 
he was angr>' w ith I^leazarand Ithamar, the sons 
of Aaron •which "were left alive, saying,

even the same soul shall ^ be cut off fi-om

22 Or vjhether it were two days, or a month, 
or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the taber-

' abode in their tents, and journeyed not : but 
when it was taken up, they journeyed.

5 When ye blow an alarm, then the camps 
^ that lie on the east parts shall go forward. 

6 When ye blow an alarm the ' second time, 
then the camps that lie on the south side shall 
take their journey : they shall blow an alaim for

7 But when the congregation is to be gathered 
together, ye shall ^ blow, but ye sliall not sound

8 And tlie sons of Aaron, ** tlie priests, shall 
blow Avith the trumpets , and they shall be to

A\'e had died in tlie land of Egypt ! " or ^\ould 
God we had died in this ^vilderness ! 

3 And wherefore hath the Lord brought us 
unto this land, to fall by the s^Aord, that our 
A\'i\'es and oin' childi"en should be a prey .-' were 
it not better for us to return into Eg\-pt ? 

4 And they said one to another, "^Let us make 
a captain, and let us ' return into Eg^pt. 

5 Then Moses and Aaron ^ fell on theii' faces 
before all the assembly of the congregation of the 
children of Israel. 

6 ^ And 8 Joshua the son of Nun, and Caleb 
the son of Jephunneh, ivhich were of them that 
searched tlie land, rent their clothes : 

7 And tliey spake unto ail the company of 
the childi-en of Israel, saying. The land, which 
we passed through to search it, is an exceeding 
good land. 

8 If tine Lord delight in us, then he will 
bring us into this land, and gi^e it us ; a land 
which floweth with milk and honey. 

9 Only rebel not ye against the Lord, neither 
fear ye the people of the land; ''ior they are bread 
for us : their f defence is departed from them, 
and the Lord i^switli us : fear them not. 

10 But ail the congregation bade 'stone them 
with stones. And the glory of the Lord appear- 
ed m the tabernacle of the congi-egation before all 
the childi-en of Israel. 

1 1 1J And the Lor d said unto Moses, How 
long w'lW this people provoke me ? and how long 
will it be ere tliey believe me, for all the signs 
whicli I have sheiv'ed among them ? 

12 I will smite them with the pestilence, and 
disinherit them, and ^'"ill make of tiiec a ''greater

Then the Egyptians shall hear it, (for thou

Lord commanded Moses, and hencefonvard 
among your generations; 

24 Then it shall be, ' if aught be committed 
by ignoi'ance f ^vithout the knowledge of the 
congreg-ation, that all the congregation shall 
offer one youiig bullock for a bunit-offering, for 
a sweet savour unto the Lord, ^ with his meat- 
offering, and his drink-offering, according to 
the II manner, and " one kid of the goats for a sin- 
offering. 

25 And the priest shall make an ^ atonement 
for all the congregation of the chilchen of Israel, 
and it shall be forgiven them ; for it is ignorance : 
and tliey shall bring tlieir offerbig, a sacrifice 
made by fire unto the Lord, and their sin-offer- 
ing before the Lord, for their ignorajice : 

26 And it shall be forgiven all the congrega- 
tion of the children of Israel, and the stranger 
that sojoumeth among tiiem ; seeing all the peo- 
ple "ivere in ignorance. 

27 And "" if any soul sin through ignorance, 
then he shall bring a she-goat of the first year for 
a sin-offeiing. 

28 And the priest shall make an ^ atonement for 
the soul that sinneth ignorantly, whtw he sinnetli 
by ignorance before the Lord, to make an atone- 
ment for him ; and it sh-iU be forgi\'eu liim. 

29 Ye shall have one law for him tliat t sinneth 
through ignorance, "^ both for him that is born 
among tlie childi'en of Israel, and for the stranger 
that sojoumeth among them. 

30 % But the soul that doeth aught f presump- 
tuously, vchether he be bom in tlie land, or a 
stranger, die same reproacheth tlie Lord; and 
tliat soul shall be cut off fi-om among liis people. 

31 Because he hath '^despised the word of the 
Lord, and hath broken his commandment, that 
soul shall utterly be cut off; his iniquity shall be 
upon him. 

32 ^ And ^\■lule the chikken of Israel were in 
the Avilderness, they found a man that gatliered 
sticks upon the sabbath-day. 

33 And tliey that found him gathering sticks 
brought him unto Moses and Aaron, and imto 
all the congi-egation. 

34 And they put him. ^ in waid, because it was 
not declared \\iiat should be done to him. 

2)5 And the Lord said unto Moses, *"The 
man shall be surely put to death: all the con- 
gregation s shall stone him with stones, without 
the camp. 

56 And all tlie congregation brought him with- 
out the camp, and stoned him with stones, and 
he died ; as the Lord commanded Moses. 

37 11 And the Lord spake unto INIoses, saying, 

38 Speak unto the chikken of Israel, and bid 
^ them that they make them fringes in the bor- 
ders of their gamients tliroughout then- gene- 
rations, and tliat they put upon the fi-inge of the 
borders a ribband of blue : 

39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that 
ye may look upon it, and remember all the com- 
mandments of the Lord, and do them; and 
that ye seek not ' after your oa\ n heart and your 
o\vn eyes, after which ye use to go a Mhormg:

1 The rebellion of Korah, Dathan, and Abirara. 
23 Moses sel)arateth the people from the rebels' 
tents. 31 The earth swallovoeth up Korah, and 
afire consumeth the others. 36 The censers are 
reserved to holy use. 41 Fourteen thousand and 
se^t^en hundred are slain by a plague for 7nurmur- 
i?ig against Moses and Aaron. 46 Aaron by in- 
cense stayeth the plague. 

0\\" ^ Korah, the son of Izhai", tlie son of 
Kohath, tlie son of Levi; and Dathan 
and Abiram, the sons of Eliab; and On, the son 
of Peletii, sons of Reuben, took men: 

2 And they rose up before Moses, ^\"itll cer- 
tain of the chiidi-en of Israel, x\\o hundred and 
fifty princes of tlie assembly, '' famous in the con- 
gregation, men of renoAMi: 

3 _ And they gathered tliemselves tog"ether 
'^ against ?yIoses and again.st Aaron, and said unto 
tlieni, t Te take too much upon you, seeing ^ all 
the congregation are holy, e.\eix one of tliem, 
and the Lord is ^ among tliem: \dierefore then 
lift ye up yourselves above the congregation of 
the Lord ? 

4 And when INIoses heard it, '^he fell upon his 
face : 

5 And he spake unto Korah, and unto all liis 
company, saying, Even to-morrow the Lord 
will shew who are his, and -to'/zo ^ is holy; and 
\\i\\ cause him to come near unto liim : e\en 
^ hijn whom he hath chosen A\'ill he cause to come 
' neai- unto him. 

6 This do : Take you censers, Korah, and all 
his company ; 

7 And put fii-e therein, and put incense in 
them before the Lord to-morrow: and it shall 
be, that the man whom the Lord doth choose, 
he shall be holy: ye take too much upon you, j'C 
sons of Levi. 

8 And Moses said unto Korah, Heai-, I pray 
you, ye sons of Levi : 

9 See met h it but ^ a small thing unto j'ou, that 
the God of Israel hadi ^ separa.ted you from the 
congregation of Israel, to bring you neai- to him- 
self to do the service of the tabem.acle of tlie 
Lord, and to stand before the congregation to 
minister unto them ? 

10 And he hath brought thee near to him, and 
all thy bretliren the sons of Levi Avith thee : and 
seek ye the priesthood also ? 

11 For wliich cause both thou and all tliy 
!i company (7r<7 gathered together again.st the Lord : 
;| and '" \Ahat is Aai'on, that ye murmur against 
11 him?

11 And "Moses did so: as the Lord com-

32 And Moses sent to spy out ^ Jaazer, and 
they took the villages thereof, and drove out 
the Amorites that 'were there. 

33 TI^ And they turned and went up by the

' thou shalt do to liim as tliou didst unto Si-

Now shall this company lick up aU that are

Balaam's parabic, and CHAP. 

18 And l^e took up his poi-able, and said, * Rise 
up, Balak, and hear ; hearken luito me, thou son 
ofZippor : 

19 God is not a man, " that he shoukl lie; nei- 
ther the son of man, that he sliouid repent : 
hath he said, and shall he not do it ? or hatli he 
spoken, and shall he i^t make it good ? 

20 Behold, I have received commandment to 
bless : " and he hath blessed, and I cannot re- 
verse it. 

21 He hath ^not beheld iniquity in Jacob, 
neither hath he seen perverseness in Israel : the 
Lord his God is with him, and the shout of a 
king is among them. 

22 *God brought them out of Egypt: he 
liath as it Mere the strength of an unicorn. 

23 Surely there is no enchantment || against 
Jacob, neither w there ^^xyy divination against 
Israel : according to this time it shall be said 
of Jacob and of Israel, ^ What hath God 
wrought ! 

24 Behold, the people shall rise up as a great 
c Gen.49..9. = lion, aud lift up himself as a young lion : he 

shall not lie do^vn ^ until he eat of the prey, and 
drink the blood of the slain. 

25 T[ And Balak said unto Balaam, Neither 
curse them at all, nor bless them at all. 

26 But Balaam answered and said unto Ba- 
lak, Told not I thee, saying, ^All that the 
Lord speaketh, mat I must do? 

27 And Balak said unto Balaam, Come, I 
i3..^jray thee, I *^\\'ill bring thee unto another place : 

pbradventure it will please God that thou may- 
est curse me them from thence. 

28 And Balak brought Balaam unto the top 
of Peor, that looketii towai-d ^ Jeshimon. 

29 And Balaam said unto Balak, ''Build me 
here se^■en altai-s, and prepare me here seven 
bullocks and seven rams. 

30 And Balak did as Balaam had said, and 
oft'ered a bullock and a ram on every altai-. 

CHAP. XXIV. 
Balaam, lea-Dijig divinations, prophesieth the 
happiness of Israel: 10 Balak in anger dis- 
misseth hwi: 15 he prophesieth of the Star of 
Jacob, and the destruction of some nations. 
ND when Balaam saw that it pleased the 
Lord to bless Israel, he went not, as at 
=" other times, t to seek for enchantments, but 
he set his face toward the wilderness. 

2 And Balaam lifted up his eyes, and he saw 
Israel abiding in his tents according to their 
tribes ; and the spirit of God came upon him. 
. 3 ^ And he took up his parable, and said, 
Balaam the son of Beor hath said, and the man 
t Heb; -ujAo \ whose eyes are open hath said : 

4 He hath said, which heard the words of 
God, which saw the " vision of the Almighty, 
falling into a trance, but having his eyes open : 

5 How goodly are thy tents, O Jacob, and 
thy tabernacles, O Israel ! 

6 As the vajiies are they spread forth, as gai'- 
dens by the river's side, ^ as the trees of lign- 
aioes which the Lord hath planted, andAH ccdai'- 
trees beside the waters.

This is the thing which the Loud hath com-

2 If a man "^ vow a vow mito the Lord, •= or 
s\A'eai" an oath to bind his soul with a bond ; he 
shall not f break his Avord, he shall do '^according 
to all tliat proceedeth out of his mouth. 

3 IT If a ^^•onlan also vo\v a vow unto the 
Lord, and bind //erse/f by a bond, beiiis in her 
lather's house in her youth ; 

4 And her father hear her vow, and her bond 
wherewith she hath bound her soul, and her fa- 
ther shall hold his peace at her : then all her 
vows shall stand, and e\'ery bond ^^■here^^'ith she 
hath bound her soul shall stand. 

5 But if her father disallow her in the day that 
he heareth ; not any of her \^ows, or of her bonds 
wherewith she hath bound her soul, shall stand : 
and the Lord shall forgive her, because her fa- 
ther disallowed her. 

6 HI And if she had at all an husbaiid when f she 
vowed, or uttered aught out of her lips, where- 
with she bound her soul ; 

7 And her husband heard it, and held his peace 
at her in the day that he heard it : then her vo\\"s 
shall stand, and her bonds wherewith she bound 
her soul shall stand. 

8 But if her husband 'disallowed her on the day 
that he heard it; then he shall make her vow 
which she voAved, and that which she uttered 
uith her lips, wherewith she bound her soul, of 
none effect: and the Lord shall forgive her. 

9 ^ But every vow of a widow, and of her that 
is divorced, wherewith they have bound their 
souls, ^ shall stand against her. 

10 And if she vowed in her husband's house, 
or bound her soul by a bond with an oath ; 

11 And her husbmid heai-d it, and held his 
peace at her, and disallowed her not : ^ then all 
her vows shall stand, and every bond AvhereA\dth 
she bound her soul shall stand. 

12 But if her husband hath utterly made them 
void on the day he heard t/iem ; then whatsoever 
proceeded out of her lips concerning her vo^\'s, 
or concerning the bond of her soul, shall not 
stand : her husband hath made them void ; and 
tlie Lord shall forgive her. 

13 Every vow, and every binding oath to aiRict 
the soul, her husband may establish it, or her 
husband may make it void. 

14 But if her husband altogether hold his 
peace at her from day to day ; then he establish- 
eth all her \ows,, or all her bonds, A\"hich arc upon 
her : ^ he confirmeth them, because he held his 
peace at her in the day that he heard them. 

15 But if he shall any A\ays make them \'oid 
after that he hath heard tliem ; ' then he shall bear 
her iniquitv'.

20 And purify all your raiment, and all f that

21 .\nd Eleaziir the priest said unto the men 
of war ' which went to the battle, This is the 
ordinance of the law which the Lord command- 
ed Moses; 

22 Only the gold, and the silver, the brass, the 
iron, the tin, and the lead,

25 Tf And the Lord spake unto Moses, say- 
ing, 

26 Take the sura of the prey f that was taken, 
bot/t of man and of beast, thou, and Eleazar 
the piiesi, and the chief fathers of the congrc- 
gation : 

27 And y divide the prey into tw o paits ; be- 
tween them that took the war upon them, w ho 
went out to battle, and between all the congre- 
gation : 

28 And le\y a tribute unto the Lord of 
the men of war ^vhich went out to battle : 
""one soul of five hundred, /'o/// of the persons, 
and of tlie bec\es, and of the asses, and of the 
sheep : 

29 Take // of their half, and gi\e it unto 
Eleazar the priest, for an hea\e-oftering of the 
Lord. 

3f) And ''of the children of Israel's half, thou 
shalt take one portion of fifty, of the persons, of 
t^;e Ik-cvcs, of the asses, and of the H flocks, of 
all manner of beasts, and gi'.'C them unto the 
Le\ites, "^ w hich keep the cliarge of the tabernacle 
of the Lord. 

31 And Moses and Eleazar the priest did as 
tin Lord eonimandcd Moses. 

32 And the booty, /v/Vr^ the rest of the prey 
\-.1i1l1i tlie men of wai- had caught, was six hun- 
dred thousimd and seventy thousand and five 
thousand sheep, 

33 And tlireescore and twelve thousand 
ijeevcs, 

34 And threescore and one thousand asses, 

35 And thirty and two thousand per.sons in all, 
of women tliat had not '^ know n man by lying

36 And the half 'u'/i/t/j-7f«.? the portion of them 
that went out to war, was in number three hun- 
fired ihou.sund and :s«jven and tlvi tv thous;\nd and 
fjvi- liu.idicd sIk^: 



37 And die Lord's ^tribute of the sheep was 
six hinidred and threescore and fifteen. 

38 iVnd the beeves -were tliirty and six thou-

39 i\nd the asses iverc thirty tliousand and

tliiee-fecore and one. 

40 j^jid the persons were sixteen thousand ; 
of which the Lord's tribute ivas diirty and 
two persons. 

41 An(\ Moses gave the tribute, ^ which was 
the Lord's heave-oflering, unto Eleazai" the

42 And of the children of Israel's half, which 
Moses divided from the men that ^^ arred, 

43 (Now the half ' that pertained unto the con-

50 We ha\'e therefore brought an oblation for

The Reubenices and Gadites CHAP. 

2 The children of Gad and the children of Reu- 
ben came and spake unto Moses, and to Eleazar 
the priest, and unto the princes of the congrega- 
tion, saying, 

3 Ataroth, and Dibon, and Jazer, and ^ Nim- 
rah, and Heshbon, and Elealeh, and "= Shebam, 
and Nebo, and '^Beon, 

4 Eveti the country ^ which the Lord smote 
before the congregation ,yf Israel, is a land for 
cattle, ^ and thy sen^ants have cattle : 

5 Wherefore, said they, if we have found 
grace in thy sight, let this land be given unto 
thy servants for a possession, and bring us not 
over Jordan. 

6 ^ And Moses said unto tlie childi'en of Gad 
and to the childien of Reuben, Shall your bre- 
thren go to war, and shall ye sit here .' 

7 And wherefore t discourage j'e the heajt 
of the children of Israel from going over 
into the land which the Lord hath given 
them ? 

8 Thus did your fathers, ^when I sent them 
from Kadesh-baniea to see the land. 

9 For ''when they vrent up unto the valley 
of Eshcol, and saw the land, they discouraged 
the heart ot the children of Israel, that they 
should not go into the land which the Lord had 
given them. 

10 And the Lord's 'anger was kindled the 
same time, and ^ he s\\are, saying, 

1 1 Surely none of tlie men tiiat came up out 
of Egj'pt, ^ fiom twenty years old and upw;uxl, 
shall see the land which I swai'e unto Abraham, 
unto Isaac, and unto Jacob; because they ha\e 
not t wholly followed me : 

12 Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Ke- 
nezite, and Joshua the son of ISf^n : "" for they 
have wholly followed the Lord. 

13 And the Lord's anger vv-as kindled against 
Israel, and he " made them wajider in the wil- 
derness forty years, until all the generation 
that had done evil in the sight of the Lord was 
consumed. 

14 And, behold, ye are risen up in jour 
fathers' stead, an increase of sinful men, to 
augment yet the fierce anger of the Lord towai'd 
Israel. 

15 For ° if ye turn away from after him, he will 
yet again leave them in the wilderness ; and ye 
shall destroy all this people. 

16 IT And they came near unto him, and said. 
We will build sheepfolds here for our cattle, and 
cities for our little ones : 

17 But we ourselves p will go ready ai^med be- 
fore the children of Israel, until we have brought 
them unto their place : and our little ones shall 
dwell in the fenced cities, because of the inhabi- 
tants of the land. 

18 ^ We will not return unto our houses, until 
the children of Israel have inherited every man 
his inheritance. 

19 For we will not inherit with them on 
yonder side Jordan, or forward ; ' because our 
inheritance is fallen to us on this side 'Jordan 
eastward. 



XXXII. sue fur their inheritance. 

20 H And ' Moses said unto them, If ye will do 
this thing, if ye will go armed before the Lord 
to war, 

21 And will go all of you "rmed over Jordan 
before the Lord, until he hath driven out his 
enemies from before him, 

22 And the land be subdued before the 
Lord : then afterward ye shall return, and be 
guiltless before the Lord, and before Israel; 
andtihis •" land shall be your possession before the 
Lord. 

23 But if ye will not do so, behold, ye have 
sinned against the Lord : and be sure your sin 
* will find you out. 

24 y Build you cities for your little ones, and 
folds for your sheep ; and do that which hath pro- 
ceeded out of your mouth. 

25 And the children of Gad and the children of 
Reuben spake unto Moses, saying, Thy servants 
will do as my loi'd commandeth. 

26 Our little ones, our wives, our _ flocks 
and all our cattle, * shall be there in the cities of 
Gilead : 

27 ^ But thy servants will pass over, every 
man aiTned for war, before the Lord to battle, as 
my lord saith. 

28 So concerning them Moses " commanded 
Eleazar the priest, and Joshua the son of Nun, 
and the chief fathers of the tribes of the children 
of Israel. 

29 And Moses said unto them. If the children 
of Gad and the children of Reuben will pass AviUi 
you over Jordan, e^'ery man ai'med to battle, be- 
fore the Lord, and the land shall be subduecl be- 
fore you; then ye shall gi\'e them the land of 
•* Gilead for a possession : 

30 But if they will not pass o^'er with you 
arm.ed, they sDaii have possessions among you 
in the land of Canaan. 

3 1 And the children of Gad and the children 
of Reuben ansv/ered, saying, ^ As the Lord hath 
said unto thy servants, so will \\& do. 

32 We will pass over armed before the Lord 
into the land of Canaan, that the possession of 
our inheritaiice on this side Jordan may be 
ours. 

33 And ^ Moses ga^^e unto them, eiien to the 
cliildren of Gad, and to the children of Reu- 
ben, and unto half the tribe of Manasseh the 
son of Joseph, s the kingdom of Sihon king of 
the Amorites, and the_ kingdom of Og king of 
Bashan, the land, ^-ith the cities thereof in 
the coasts, e'^:ien the cities of the country round 
about. 

34 II And the childi-en of Gad built '^ Dibon, 
and Ataroth, and ' Aroer, 

35 And Atroth, Shophan, and Jaazer, and 
Jogbehah, 

_ 36 And Beth-nimrali, and Beth-haran, fenced 
cities : and Iblds for sheep. 

37 And the children of Reuben built Heshbon, 
and Elealeh, and Kirjathaim, 

38 And Nebo, and Baal-meon, (their names 
being changed,) and Shibmah; and f gave other 
names unto the cities which tliey builded.

1 The inconvenience of the inheritance of daughters 
5 is remedied by marrying in their own tribes, 
7 lest the inheritance should be remmedfrom tJie 
tribe. 10 The daughters of Zelephehad marry 
tJieir fatlier"* s brothers'' sons. 

AND the chief fathers of the iamilies of the 
* children of Giiead, the son of Machir, the 
son of Manasseh, of the families of the sons of 
Joseph, canie near, and spake before Moses, and 
before the princes, the chief fathers of the chil- 
dren of Israel : 

2 And they said, ^ The Lord commanded 
my lord to give die land for an inheritance by 
lot to the children of Israel : and my lord 
^^•as ' commanded by die Lord to give the in- 
heritance of '^ Zeiophehad our brother unto his 
daughters. 

3 And if they be manied to any of die sons 
of the other tribes of the cliildren of Israel, 
then shall their inheritance be taken from the 
inheritance of our fathers, and sliall be put to 
the inheritance of the nibe t whereunto thex- 
aie recei\ed: so shall it be taken from the 
lot of our inheritance. 

4 And when - die jubilee of the childien of 
Israel sliall be, then sliail their inheritance be 
put unto the inheritance of the tiibe ■where- 
unto they are received: so shall tiieir inheri- 
tance be taken away from the inheritance of 
the tribe of our fathers.

their father^' s brothers'^ soiis. 141 
saying, The tribe of the sons of Joseph ^ hath chwst

6 This is the thing which the Lord doth 
command concerning the daughters of Zeiophe- 
had, saying. Let them j many to '\\hom they 
think besti ^ only to the family of the tribe of 
their father shall they marry. 

7 So shall not the inheritance of the childi^en 
of Israel rem.ove from tribe to tribe ; for e\-ery 

one of the children of Israel shall t keep himself ^^t^-,^ 
to the inheritance of the tiibe of liis fathers. _ iKirf '■ 

8 And 'every daughter, that possesseth an inhe- 21.3: 
ritance in any tribe of the children of Israel, |i.^°'- 
shall be \vife unto one of the family of die tribe 

of her father, that the childi-en of Israel may en-

9 Neither shall the inheritance ^renio*e from k vear, 
ene tribe to another tiibe ; but e-\-e!y one of the 
fribes of the childi-en of Israel shall keep liiniself 

to his o^^•n inheritance. 

10 llEven as the Lord commanded Moses, 
so did the daughtei's of Zeiophehad : 

11 'For MalilaJi, Tii-zali, and Ho.glah, and ^ cfcr.

16 And I charged your judges at tliat time,

19 ^ And when we departed from Horeb, "■ we

tlie children of Esau, which dwell in Seir, and 
they shall be afraid of you : take ye good heed 
unto yourselves thei efore : 

5 Meddle not with them : for I will not give 
you of their land, f ii«> i^ot so much as a foot- 
breadth ; ^ because I have given mount Seir unto 
Esauyo?- a pofjsession. 

6 Ye shall buy meat of them for money, that 
ye may eat ; and j'C shall also buy water of them 
for money, that ye may drink. 

7 For the Lord thy God hath blessed thee 
in all the works of tliy hand : he ^ knoweth thy 
walking through this great wilderness : these for- 
ty years the Lord thy God /lat/i been \vith thee ; 
thou hast lacked nothing. 

8 And \A'hen we passed by fi'om ^ our brethren 
the cliildien of Esau, Avhich dwelt in Seir, through 
the way of the plain from s^lath, and from 
Ezion-gaber, aac turned and passed by the \\-ay 
of tlie wilderness of Moab. 

9 IF And the Lord said unto me, |i Distress 
not the Moabites, neitlier contend with them in 
battle : for Iv will not give thee of their land /or a 
possession ; because I have gi\en ^ Ar unto the 
' children of Lot /or a possession. 

10 (The Emims d^elt therein in times past, a 
people great, and many, and tall, as tlie Ana- 
kims : 

11 Which also were accounted giants, as 
the Anakims ; but the Moabites call them 
Emims. 

12 "^ The Horims also dwelt in Seir before- 
time ; but the children of Esau f succeeded 
them, "VA'hen they had destroyed them from before 
them, and d\\'elt in their || stead ; as Israel did 
unto the land of his possession, \\hich the Lord 
gaA'C unto tliem.) 

13 NoAv rise up, said /, and get you over Hhe 
Ij brook Zered: and -we went over the brook 
Zered. 

14 And the space in which we came from 
Kadesh-bamea, until we were come over the 
brook Zered, was thirty and eight yeai's : until 
all '" the generation of the men of war Avere 
A\asted out from among the host, "as the Lord 
SAvare unto them. 

15 For indeed the hand of the Lord was 
° against them, to destroy them from among the 
host, until tiiey a'v ere consumed. 

1 6 1[ So it came to pass, when all the men of 
■war v^ ere consumed and dead from among the 
people, 

17 That the Lord spake unto me, saying, 

1 8 Thou art to pass over through Ar, the coast 
of Moiib, this day : 

19 And nxilien thou comest nigh over against 
the children of Ammon, distress them not, nor 
meddle with them : for I will not give thee of the 
land of the children of Ammon any_ possession ; 
because I have given it unto the children of Lot 
for a possession. 

_ 20 (That also w^as accounted a land of giants ; 
giants dwelt therein in old time ; aiid the Am- 
monites cidl tliem Zamzummmis ; 
21 A people great, and many, and tall, p as the 



Anakims ; but the Lord destroyed them before 
them ; and they succeeded them, and dwelt in 
their stead : 

22 As he did to the children of Esau, ^ which 
dwelt in Seir, when he desti'oyed the "" Horims 
from before them; and they succeeded them, 
and dwelt in their stead e^'cn unto this day : 

23 And the = Avims which dwelt in Hazerim, 
€1)671 unto Azzah, the ' Caphtorims Avhich came 
foi-tli out of Caphtor, destroyed tliem and dAA'clt 
in their stead.) 

24 T[ Rise ye up, take your journey, and pass 
over the "^ river Arnon : behold, I have gi^'cn in- 
to thine hand Sihon the Amorite, king of Hesh- 
bori, and his land : f begin to possess zV, and con- 
tend Avith him in battle. 

25 This day Avill I begin to put the " dread of 
thee and the fear of thee upon the nations that 
are under the whole heaven, Avho shall hear 
report of thee, and shall tremble, and be in an- 
guish because of thee. 

26 And I sent messengers out of the wilder- 
ness of Kedemoth unto Sihon king of Heshbon 
y VA'ith AA'ords of peace, saying, 

27 " Let me pass tlirough thy land : I Avill go 
along by the highAvay, I Avill neither turn unto 
the right hand nor to the left. 

28 Thou shalt sell me meat for money, that 
I may eat ; and give me Avater for money, that I 
may drink ; only ^ I Avill pass through on my feet ; 

29 (As the children of Esau Avliich dwell in 
Seir, and the Moabites \\'hich dAvell in Ar, " did 
unto me ;") until I shall pass over Jordan into the 
land AA'hicn the Lord our God givetli us. 

30 But Sihon king of Heshbon Avould not let 
us pass by him ; for the '^ L o r d thy God htirdened 
his spirit, and made his heart obstinate, that he 
might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth 
this day. 

31 And the Lord said unto me, Behold, '^ I 
have begun to giA-e Sihon and his land before 
thee : begin to possess, that thou mayest inherit 
his land. 

32 ^ Then Sihon came out against us, he and 
all his people, to fight at Jahaz. 

33 And the Lord our God sclelivered him 
before us ; and we smote him, and his sons, and 
all his people. 

34 And Ave took all his cities at that time, and 
" utterly _ destroyed f the men, and die Avomen, 
and the little ones, c^ ever>' city ; aa'c left none to 
remain : 

2i5 Only the cattle A\e took for a prey unto 
ourselves, and the spoil of the cities Avhich AVe 
took. 

3G From ' Aroer, Avhich w by the brink of the 
river of Arnoii, zxxdfrom the city that is by tlie 
river, even unto Cxilead, there was not one city 
too strong for us : *" the Lord our God delivered 
all unto us :

him remaining. 

4 And \\ e tfx)k all his cities at that time, there 
was not a city which we took not from Uiem, 
threescore cities, all the ' region of Argob, the

7 But all die rattle, and the spoil of the cities, 
wc tof)k ibr a prey to ourselves. 

8 And we took at that time out of die hand of 
the two kings of the Amorites the land that was 
on tliis side Jordan, from the ri\er of Anion un-

may learn to fear me all the days that they shall 
live upon the earth, and that they may teach 
their children. 

11 And ye came near and stood under the

1 All communion with the nations is forbidden^ 

A for fear of idolatry, 6 for the holiness of the 

people, 9jor the nature of God in his mercy and 

justice, 2^for the assuredness of victory which 

God iv ill give over them. 

WHEN the 'Lord thy God shall bring thee 
into the land u hither thou goest to possess 
it, and ha|^ cast out '' miuiy nations before thee, 
die Hittites, and the Girgashitcs, and the Amo- 
ritcs, and die Canaanites, and the Perizzites, aud 
the Hivites, and the Jebusites, seven nations 
gre;iterand mightier than thou ; 

2 And when the Lord thy God shall de- 
liver them beloie thee ; thou shalt smite them 
and utterly de.sti-oy them ; "= thou shalt make 
no co\enant w idi them, nor shew mercy unto 
them : 

3 Neither shalt diou '' make maniages with 
them ; diy daughter tliou shalt not gi\e unto 
his son, lior his cUuightcr sluilt thou take unto 
thy .son. 

4 f For diey will turn away thy son from fol- 
lowing me, that they may serve other gods : so 
will the anger of the Lo r d be kindled against you, 
and destroy thee suddenly. 

5 ' But "thus shall j e deal w ith them ; ye shall 
destroy their altars, and break down their 
t images, and cut down their groves, and bum 
tlieir graven images w itli iiix". 

6 If ^ For thou <7/7 an holy people unto the Lord 
thy God : ^ the Lord thy God hath chosen thee 
to' be a special people unto himself, above all 
people that are upon the lace of the eiutli. 

7 The Lord did not set his lo\e upon you, 
nor chcKise you, because ye were more m num- 
lx.r tlian any people ; ^ for ye were die fewest of 
all people : 

8 But because the Lord lo\ed you, and be- 
cause he would keep 'the oiith which he had 
swoni unto your fathers, hath the Lord brought 
you out w ith a mighty hand, and redeemed > on 
out of the house of bondmen, from the hand of 
riianiih king of Eg5pt. 

9 t Know therefore that the Lord thy God, 
he is God, * the faidiful God, which kecpeth 



covenant and mercy with them that \o\e him 
and keep liis commandments ' to a thousand ge- 
nerations ; 

10 And '"repayedi them that hate him t( 
their face, to destroy them : "he will n(Abe siav ^ 
to him that liatedi him, he w ill repay liim to his 
luce. 

11 Thou shalt therefore keep the command- 
meiits, and the .statutes, and the judgments, 
which I command thee this day, to do '.heiii. 

12 Wherefore it shall come to pass, 1 5f yc 
hearken to these judgments, arid keep iuid do 
iheni, that the Lord thy God ° .shall keep unto 
thee the co\eiiant and the mercy which he swaie 
unto thy fadiers : 

13 And he w ill love thee, and bless thee, and 

multiply thee : p he will :ilso bless the i; nit of thy 

'vomb, and die fruit of thy land, thy com, and 

by w ine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, 

and the flocks of thy sheep, ^ in the land whicfflie 
swaie unro diy fathers to gi\ e thee. 

14 Thou shall be blessed above all people : 
■■ there sh;ul not be male or female barren among 
you, or among your cattle. 

15 And the Lord will takeaway from thee 
:ill sickness, and will put none of the ' e\il dis- 
eases of Egypt, whichdiou know est, upon thee; 
but w ill lay them upon all them that hale thee. 

16 And thou shalt consimie all the people 
wliich the Lord thy God shall deliver thee; 

* thine eye shall ha\e no pity upon them : neither 
shalt thou serve their gods ; for that will be ° a 
snare unto thee. 

17 If thou shalt say in thine heart. These na- 
tions are more than 1 ; * how can I dispossess 
them ? 

18 Thou shalt not be afraid of them : but shalt 
well y rememl)er what the Lord thy God did 
unto Pharaoh, and unto all Egjpt ; 

19 The great * temptations which thine eyes 
saw, and tlie signs, and the wonders, and the 
mighty hand, and the stj-etched-out iU"m, where- 
by the Lord thy God brought thee out: so shall 
the Lord thy God do unto all die people of whom 
thou iut afi-aid. 

20'' Moreover, the Lord thy God will send 
the honiet among them, until tli«y that are 
left, and hide themsehes from diee, be de- 
sUojed. 

21 Thou shalt not be aftiighted at them : for 
the Lord thy God is ' among you, almighty God 
and terrible. 

22 And the Lor d th>; God w ill f put out those 
nations before thee** by little and little : thou may- 
est not consume diem at once, lest the beasts of 
the field increase upon thee. 

23 TI But the Lord thy God shall deliver 
them t unto diee, and shall destroy them 
with a mighty destruction, until they be de- 
stroyed. 

24 And he shall deliver their kings into thine

ha\e destroyed you. 

9 Wlien I wiis gone up into the mount to 
recti\e the tallies of stone, even the tables of 
the covenant which the Lord made with you, 
then ' I abode in the mount forty days and 
forty nights, I neith.er did eat bread, nor drink, 
water: 

10 "And the Loun delivered unto me two 
tables of stone w ritten with the finger of God ; 
cind on tiiem ivas written according to all the 
woids, which the Lord spake with you in the 
moimt out of the midst of the fire, " in the cby of 
the assembly. 

11 And it came to pass at the end of forty 
days and forty nights, e/uJt the Lord gave me 
the two tables of stone, even the tables of the 
co^■enant. 

12 And the Lord said unto me, "Arise, 
get thee tlown ciuickly from hence; for div peo- 

Klc w hich tliou hast brought fordi out of Kgypt 
avc conuptcd themselves ; ^they are tjuickly 
turned aside out of the way which I commanded 
them ; they have made diem a molten image. 

13 Furthermore, the Lord spake unto me, 
saying, I have seen this people, and, behold, "^ it 
is a stiff-necked people : 

14 'Let the iUone, tkit I inay destroy them, 
and blot out their name Trom under heaven : and 
I will make of thee a nation mightier'^and greater 
than they. 

15 So I turned and came down from the 
mount, " and the mount bunied w ith fire : imd 
the tw o tiibles of the co\ enant ivcre in my two

16 And 'I looked, and, Ijchold, ye had sinned 
against the Lord your Ciod, and hwd made 
you a molten calf: >"e had turned aside (piickly 
out of the way which the Lord had command-

17 And I took the two tiibles, and cast them 
out of my two hands, and brake diem before 
your e>es. 

18 And " I fell down before the Lord as at 
the first, forty days and forty nights : I did 
neither eat broad, nor drink water, because of 
all your sins w hich ye sinned, in doing w ickedly 
in the sight of the Lord, to proAoke him to 
anger. 

19 "For I was afiaid of the anger and hot dis- 
plea.sure, whcTCwith die Lor d was wroth against 
you to destroy you. ^ But tlu.- Lord hearkened 
unlo me at that time also. 

20 And the Lor u was ver\- angiy w ith .\aron 
to have destroyed him : and I prayed for Aaron 
also the same time. 

21 .And I took ""your sin, die calf which ye 
Ivid made, and burnt it v.idi fire, and stamped 
it, (ind ground it very small, even until it was as 
small as dust : and T cast the dust thereof into die 
brook that desceiuU d out of the mount.

AT the end of ^ every scACn yeai-s tliou shalt 
make a release. 

2 And this is the manner of the release : Every 
t creditor that lendeth aught unto his neighboiu- 
shall release it ; he sliall not exact it of his neigh- 
bour, or of his brother ; because it is called the 
Lord's release. 

3 ^ Of a foreigner thou mayest exact it again : 
but that which is thine with thy brother, tliine 
hand shall release ; 

4 il Save when there shall be no poor among 
you; "for the Lord shall gi-eatly bless thee in 
the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee 
for an inheritance to possess it : 

5 ^ Only if thou cai-efuUy heai-ken unto the 
voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do 
all these commandments wliich I command thee 
this day. 

6 For the Lord thy God blesseth thee, as he 
promised thee : and "thou shalt lend unto many 
nations, but tliou shalt not bon-ow; ^and thou 
shalt reign over many nations, but thej' shall 
not reign over thee. 

7 IF If there be among you a poor man of one 
of thy brethren Avithin any of thy gates in thy 
land which the Lord thy God giveth thee, 
s thou shalt not hai'den thine heait, nor shut 
thine hand fi'om tliy poor brotlier : 

8 But ° thou slialt open tliine hand \\-\(\& unto 
him, and shalt sureh' lend him sufficient for his 
need, in that \\\i\ch. he Avanteth. 

9 Bewai-e tliiit there be not a t thought in thy 
t wicked heait, saj'ing, The scA-entli j'ear, tlie 
year of release, is at hand ; and ' thine eye be evil 
against tiiy poor brotlier, and thou gi\"est him 
nought ; and he cry unto the Lord ag-ainst tliee, 
and ^ it be sin unto thee. 

10 Thou shalt surely gi^e liim, and thine heart 
shall not be grieved when thou giA-est unto him : 
M^ecause tliat for this thing the Lord thy God 
shall bless thee in all thj^ works, and in all tliat 
thou puttest thine hand unto. 

1 1 For the poor shall never cease out of the 
land : therefore I command thee, saying, Thou 
shalt open tliine hand ^^•ide unto thy brotlier, to 
thy poor, and to thy needj',, in thy land^ 

12 T[ And " if diy brother, an Hebrew man, or 
an Hebrew A\-oman, be sold unto thee, and serve 
thee six yeai's ; then in the seventh year thou 
slialt let him go " free from thee. 

13 And when thou sendest him out fiee from 
thee, thou shalt not let liim go away empty : 

14 Thou shalt fiuTiLsh him liberally out of thy 
flock, and out of thy floor, and out of tliy v.ine- 
press: of that wherewith the Lord tliy God 
hath " blessed thee, thou sliiJt give unto him, 

15 And thou shalt remember ^that thou wast 
a bondman in the land of Egypt, and the Lord 
thy God redeemed thee : therefore I command 
thee this tiling to-day.

a copy of this law^ in a book out of t/iai ^ which 
is before the priests the Levites : 

19 And ^ it shall be with him, and he shall

do^ which stand there before ihe Lord.

Moses'' song of God'' s 

t go about, even now, before I have brought 

them into the land which I sware. 

22 T[ Moses therefore Avi-ote this song tlie same 
day, and taught it the children of Israel. 

23 And he gave Joihua the son of Nun ^a 
charge, and said, ^Be sti'ong and of a good cou- 
rage : for thou shalt bring the children of Israel 
into the land which I sware unto them: and I 
w'lW be with thee. 

24 1[ And it came to pass, \vhen Mqse« had 
made an end of ' \\ riting the \\'ords of tliis law in 
a book, until they \vere finished, 

25 That Moses commanded the Levites, 
which bai"e the ark of the covenant of the Lord, 
saying, 

26 Take this book of the law, ^and put it in 
the side of tlie aik of the covenant of the Lord 
yoiu- God, that it may be there for a ^ Avitness 
against thee. 

27 For I know thy "rebellion, and thy "stiff 
neck : behold, while I am j-et ah^ e with you this 
daj', ye have been rebellious against the Lord ; 
and how m.uch moi'e after my deatii .'' 

28 Gather unto me all the ciders of your tribes, 
and your ofiicers, tliat I maj- speak these \\-ords 
in their eai's, and ° Ciill heaven and earth to record 
against them. 

29 For I kno'v that after mj- death ye vrill 
utterly p conupt yoiirsches, and tiu n aside from 
the v,-ay which I have commanded you; and evil 

c£^4?3J: ^^'ill befal you ^ in the latter days ; because ye 
will do evil in the sight of the Lord, to pro- 
voke him to anger through the v.oik of your 
hands. 

30 And Moses spake in the ears of all the con- 
gi"egation of Israel the A\ords of tliis song until

11 As an eagle stin-eth up her nest, fiuttereth

30 How should ^'one cliase a thousand, and

Rahab^s covenant •with the spies. CHAP. 

10 For we have heard how tlie Lord "^ dried 
up the -^vater of the Red sea for 3"ou, when ye 
came out of Egypt ; and what je did unto the 
two kings of the An^orites, that were on the 
otlier side Jordan, 'Sihon and Og, whom ye 
utterly desti'oyed. 

1 1 And as soon as we h:\d heard these things, 
our hearts did melt, neither f did there remain 
any more courage in any man, because of jou : 
for the Lord your God, he is God in heaven 
abo^-e, and in earth benec.th. 

12 NoAV therefore, I pniy you, ''swear unto 
me by the Lord, since I have shewed you kind- 
ness, that ye will also shew kindness unto my 
father's house, and give me a ' true token : 

13 And t/'iat ye Mill "save aJive my father, 
and my motlier, and my brethren, and my sis- 
ters, and all that they ha\e, aiid deliver our lives 
from death. 

14 And the men answered her, Our life f for 
yours, if ye utter not this our business. And 
it shall be, when the Lord hath given us the 
kind, "that we will deal kindly and trulj" \\4th 
theo. 

15 Then she let "them down by a cord 
through the wiiidovA : for her house %vas upon 
the town-wall, and she dwelt upon the wall. 

16 And she said unto them, Get ye to 
the mountain, lest the pursuers meet you : and 
hide yourselves there three days, until the pur- 
suers be returned : and aiixrward raaj^ ye go 
your Avay. 

17 And the men s-vid uiito her, ''We voill be 
blameless of this tliiue oath which thou hast 
made us svxear. 

18 Behold, wh^iwe come in+othe land, ^thou 
slialt bir.d this ur:e of scarlet ihrei^d in the win- 
do^'.x' v.Tiich tiint didst let us down by : and thou 
sh-ilt tl^i'ing '"thy fathei-, and tliy mother, and 
thy brethren, and ail thy fadier's household, 
home unto thee. 

19 And it shall.be, that whosoever shall go 
out of the doors of thy house into the street, 
his blood shal/ be ' upon his head, and vre vcill 
be giiiltless : and whosocA^er shall be with thee in 
the iiouse, his blood shall be on our head, if any 
hand be upon him. 

20 And if tliou utter this our business, then 
we \\'i;i be quit of thine oath which tliou hast 
made us to s^^ ei\r. 

21 And she said. According unto your A\ords, 
so be it. And she sent them away, and they 
dt pcUted : ' and she bound the scarlet line in the 
\^■indo■^'^■. 

22 And thej' Avent, and came unto the 
iiiountain, and a!:ode there three days, " until 
the pursuers were returned: and the pursuers 
sought t/ieni throughout all the Avay, but ibund 
tht'in not. 

23 T[ So the two men returned, and descended 
from the mountiiin, and passed over, and came 
to Joshua the son of Nun, and told liim all 
things that befel them : 

24 And they said unto Joshua, ''Truly the

13 About foity thousand !l prepared for waj-

15 And the Lord sp ike imto Joshua, saying,

17 Joshua therefore commanded the priests, 
saying. Come ye up out of Joidan. 

18 And it came to pass, when the priests that 
bare the ark of the covenant of the Lord were

unto their place, and f flo\\ed over all his banks,

23 For the Lord your God dried up the

Make thee !| " sharp knives, and circumcise again 
the children of Israel the second time. 

3 And Joshua made him shaip knives, and 
circumcised the childi'en of Israel at ii the hill 
of the foreskins. 

4 And this is the cause why Joshua did ch'- 
cumcise : '^ All the people that came out of 
Egypt, that were males, even all the men of war, 
died in the \a ildemess by the way, after they 
came out of Egypt. 

5 Now all the people that came out were cir- 
cinucised : but all the people that ivere bom in 
the wildemess by the way as they came forth out 
of Egypt, them they had not circimicised. 

6 For the children of Israel ^valked ^ forty yeai-s 
in the •wilderness, till all the people that -xvere men 
of Mar, which came out of Egj'pt, were consum- 
ed, because they obeyed not tlie Aoice of the 
LoHD : unto Avhom the Lord sware that *^he 
would not shtw them the land A\hich the Lord 
sware unto their fathers tliat he would giAC us, a 
liuid that floueth with milk and honey. 

7 And their children, -'vhom he raised up in 
their stead, them. Joshua circumcised : for they 
were imcircumcised, because they had not cir- 
cumcised them by the wa\'. 

8 And it came to pass, f when they had done 
circumcising all the people, that they abode in 
their places in the camp ^ till they were whole. 

9 And the Lord said unto Joshua, This day 
ha^•e I rolled a\\Tiy the reproach of Egj pt from 
oif you. Whejefore the name of the place is cal- 
led Ii Gilgal unto this day. 

10 % And the children of Israel encamped in 
Gilgiil, and kept the passo\er ^ on the fourteenth 
day of the m.onth at even in the plains of Jericho. 

1 1 And they did eat of the old com of the land 
on the morrow after the passover, imlea\ened 
cakes, and parched corn in the self-same day. 

12 li And the manna' ceased on the morrow 
after they had eaten of the old com of the land ; 
neither had the children of Israel manna any 
more ; but they did eat of the fruit of the land 
of Canaan that yeai\ 

] 3 T[ And it came to pass, when Joshua was by 
Jericho, that he lifted up liis eyes and looked, 
and, behold, there stood ^ a man o\er against 
him with ^ his sword dra^^•n in his ha)id : and 
Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art 
diou for us, or fjr our adversiiries ? 

14 And he said, Naj* ; but as !| captain of the 
host of the Lord am I now come. And Joshua 
" fell on his face to the earth, and did Avorship, 
and said unto him, \\'hat saitli my Lord imto his 
serAiuit ? 

15 And the captain of the Lord's host said 
unto Joshua, ° Loose thy shoe from off thy foot ; 
for the place whereon thou standest is holy. And 
Joshua did so.

NOW Jericho f was stiaitly shut up because 
of the childi-en of Israel : none went out, 
and none came in. 

2 And the Lord said unto Joshua, ^ See, I ?a?3p-2. 
ha\'e given into tliine hand Jericho, and ^ the king 
thereof, atidihe mightj' men of A'aJour. 

3 And ye shall compass the city, all t/e men

shalt thou do six dajs. 

4 And seven priests shall bear before the ark 
seven " trumpets of rams' horns : and the seventh ^ ^^^If^ 
day ye shall compass the city se\en times, ^ and 
tlie priests shall blow with the ti'umpets. 

5 And it shall come to pass, that A\"hen they 
make a long blast with the ram's horn, and v\hen 
ye hear the sound of the tnmipet, all the people 
shall shout ^vith a great shout ; and the wall of 
the city shall fall dowii f fiat, and the people shall 
ascend up everj' man straight before him. 

6 1[ And Joshua the son of Nun called the 

^ priests, and said imto them, Take up the ark ech*p.3.3. 
of the coACnant, and let se\ en priests beai- seven 
tmmpets of rams' horns before the ark of the 
Lord. 

7 And he said unto the people, Pass on, imd 
compass the citj', and let him that is armed pass 
on before the ark of the Lord. 

8 t And it came to pass, when Joshua had spo- 
ken unto the people ^that the seven priests beai-- ^ ^'^'■•'*' 
ing the scAcn trumpets of rams' horns passed on 
before the Lord, and blew with the trumpets : 

and the ark of the covenant of the Lord follow-

9 Ti And the armed men A\'ent before die 
priests that blew Avith the trumpets, ^ and the s n'-™''. 
t rere-wai^d came after the ark, the priests going tkeb.

10 And Joshua had commanded the people, 
saying. Ye shall not shout, nor f make iiny noise tHeb. 
with your voice, neither shall ani/ word proceed 
out of 3'our mouth, imtil the day 1 bid you shout; 
^ then shall ye shout. 

11 So the iu'k of the Lord compassed the ci- 
ty, going aboiTt it once : imd thej^ came into the 
camp, and lodged in the camp. 

12 T[ And Joshua rose eai"iy in the morning,

18 And \e, "^ :n any wise keep yourselves irovn.

19 But all x\\c sil\er, and gold, and vessels of 
brass and iron, are t consecrated unto the Lord : 
tlie\- shall come into the treasuiy of the Lord. 

20 So the people shouted ^vhen t/ie priests 
blew with the trumpets : and it came to pass, 
when the people heard the sound of the ti'umpet, 
and tlie people shouted with a great shout, that 
■" the wall fv.ll down f flat, so that tiie people w ent 
up into the city, e^'e^y man straight before him, 
and they took tlie eity. 

21 A lid ' they utterly destroyed idl that ^i'/75 in 
the city^ both man and woman, young and old, 
and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of 
the sword. 

22 ' But Joshua had said unto the two men that 
had spied out the country. Go into the harlot's 
house, and bring out thence the wommi, and all 
that she hath, " as ye s\\"are unto her. 

23 And tlie young men that were spies ^vent 
in, * and brought out Rahab, and h.er father, and 
her mother, and her biethren, and all that she 
had ; and they brougb.t out all her f kindred, and 
left them w ithout the camp of Israel. 

24 And they burnt tiie city w ith fire, and all 
that ivas therein : only >■ the siher, and tlie gold, 
and the \ essels of brass and of iron, they put in- 
to the treasury- of the house of the Lord. 

25 And Joshua sa\ ed Rahab tlie harlot ali\e, 
and her father's household, and all that she had ; 
and she ^ d\\ elleth in Israel even unto this day ; 
Ijccause she hid the messengers, which Joshua 
sent to spy out Jericho. 

26 ^ And Joshua adjured t/ietn at that time, 
saying, "Cursed be^ha man before the Lord, 
thill riseth up aiKl buildeth this city Jericho : lie 
shall lay the foundiition thereof in his first-boni,

16 TI So Joshua rose up early in the morning, 
. and brought Israel by their tiibes ; ' and the tribe 
• of Judah was taken : 

17 And he brought the faiiiily of Judah ; and he 
took the family of tlie Zaj-hites : and he brought 
the family of the Zai'hites man by man ; and 
Zabdi was taken : 

18 And he bix)ught his household man by

iZabdi, the son of Zerali, of the tribe of Judrii, 
was taken, 

19 And Joshua said unto Achan, My son, give, 
I pray thee, "glcrry to the Lord God of Israel, 
and make * confession unto Irim; ^luid tell me 
now what thou hast done ; hide it not from me. 

20 And Achan answered Joshua, and said, 
Indeed I ha^■e sinned against the Lord God of 
Isi^el, and thus and thus ha-se I done : 

21 When I saw among the spoils a goodly 
Babylonish gaiment, and tA^o hundi-ed shekels 
of silver, and a f wedge of gold of fifty shekels

VIII. Joshua's stratagein against Ai. 177 

3 1[ So Joshua M'ose, ^ and all the people of war, ch1°st 
to go up against Ai : and Joshua chose out tliir- ,^J^^i;, 
ty thousand mightj^ men of valour, and sent them ^^^_ 
away bj- night. 

4 And he commanded them, saying. Behold, 

" ye shall lie in M'ait against the city, eyen behind H'^l^^ 
tb.e cit>-: go not very far from the cit5-,J)ut be 
ye all ready : ;. 

5 And I, and all the people that are v.ith me, 
Vv'ill approach unto the city^ and it shall come to 
pass, when they com.e out against us, as at the 
firs;t, *' that \\e Vvil) flee before them., _ m '3^" 

6 (For they \\ ill come out after us) till we ' ' "' 
have t drawn them from the city ; for they will JJ/^*; . .. 
say. They flee before us, as at llie first: there- 
fore we will flee before them. 

7 Then ye shall rise up from the ^ ambush, g verst <. 
and seize upon the city ; for the Lord your God 

will deliver it into your hand. 

8 And it shall be, A^hen ye have taken tlie ci- 
ty, t/tat ye shall set the city on fire : according 
to the commandment of the Lord shall ye do. 

^ See, I have commanded you. 13' ^."^ 

9 ^ Joshua therefore sent them forth : ' and i ver^ 7. 
they ^^'ent to lie in ambush, and abode between 
Beth-el and Ai, on the ^vest side of Ai : but Jo- 
shua lodged that night among the people. 

10 And Joshua rose up earl^' in the morning, 
and numbered the people, and went up, he and 
the elders of Israel, befoie the. people to Ai. 

11 And ail the people, ^ ei^eri the people of war kverie*. 
tliat %vej-e witli him, v/ent up, and drew nigh, 

and came before the city, and pitched, on the 
north side of Ai ; now there vjas a valley between 
them and Ai. 

12 And he took about five thousand men, and 
set them to lie in ambush betv.een Beth-ei and 
Ai, on the vrest side || of the citj-. 

13 And Avhen they hid set the people, even 
all tliC host that was on the nor'.h of the cuv, 
and t their liers in vait on the west of the t Heb. 
city, Joshua went that night into the midst o^. 
the valley. 

14 li And it camx to pass when the king of 
Ai saw it, that they hasted and rose up early, 
and the men of the city \\ ent out agaiiist Israel 
to battle, he and ail his people, at a time ap- 
po'nted, before the plain; 'but he v 'st not tha" 'J"'ig« 
there were iiers in ambush against him behLnd ecci^. 
tlie city. \,l%, 1,. 

15 And Joshua and all Israel made as if thej ^^-^-^^ 
were beaten betoi-e them, .and fled by the way of 

the wilderness. 

16 And all the people that were in Ai were 
called together to pursue after them : and tliey 
pursued after Joshua, and ^^"ere drawn a^ ay irom 
the city. 

17 And there was not a man lefl in Ai, or 
Betli-el, that went not out after Israel : and they 
left the city open, and pursued after Israel. 

18 And tlie Lord said unto Joshua, Stretch 
out the spear that is in thy hand to'- ard Ai ; for I 

Mill gi\ e it into thine hand. And Joshua ■" stretch- m ex,x

The iity of Ai takm and destreyed. JOSHUA. 

19 And the ambash arose quickly out of their | 
place, and they ran as soon as he had "stretched 
out iiis hand: and they entered into the city, 
and took it, and ha.sted, and set the city on fire. 

20 And v.hen the men of Ai looked beliind 
them, they S-uv, and, Ixhold, the smoke of die 
city ascended up to heaven, and they had no 
j- power to flee this way or that way : and the 
people that fled to the wilderness turned back 
upon the pursuers. 

21 And when Joshua and all Israel saw that 
the ambush had taken die citv', and that the 
smoke of the city ascended, then they turned 
again, and slew the men of Ai. 

22 iVnd the other issued out of the cit>' against 
them ; so they were in the midst of Israel, .some 
on this side, and some on that side : and diey 
smote them, so that they °let none of them re- 
main or escape. 

23 And the king of Ai they took alive, p and 
brought him to Joshua. 

24 And it came to pass when Israel had made 
an end of slaying all the inhabitants of Ai in the 
field, in the wilderness wherein they chased them, 
and when they were all fallen on the edge of the 
sword, until they v\ere consumed, that iill the 
Israelites returned unto Ai, ajid smote it with 
the edge of the swxjrd. 

25 And so it was, that all that fell that day, both 
of men and women, vjere twelve thousand, cn^en 
all the men of Ai. 

26 For Joshua drew not his "^ hand back, w|>ere- 
with he stretched out die spear, until he had ut- 
terly destroyed all the inhabitants of Ai. 

27 "■ Only the cattle and the spoil of that city 
Israel took for a prey inito themselves, ' accord- 
ing unto the word of the Lord which he 'com- 
manded Joshua. 

28 And Jo.shua burnt Ai, imd made it ° an heap 
for ever, e^en a desofation unto this cUiy. 

29 And the king of Ai "he hanged on a tree 
until even-tide : and '' as soon as the sun \\ as 
dow n, Joshua commanded that they should take 
his carcase dow n from the tree, and cast it at the 
entering of the gate of the city, and ■* raise there- 
on a great heap of stones, tluit rcmalmtk unto 
this day.

''and asked not counsel at the mouth of the Lor d . 

15 And Joshua made "^ peace with them, and 
made a league with them, to let them live : and 
the princes of the congregation swaie unto them. 

16 And it came to pass at the end of three 
days after they had made a league with them, 
that they heard that they ivere their neighbours, 
and that they dwelt among them, 

17 And the children of Israel journeyed, and 
came unto their cities on the third day. '^ Now 
their cities ivere Gibeon, and Chephirah, and 
Beeroth, and Kiijath-jearim. 

18 And the children of Israel smote them not, 
because "■ the princes of the congregation had sworn 
unto them by the Lord God of Israel. And all 
the congregation murmured against the princes. 

19 But all the princes said unto all the con- 
gregation, We have sworn unto them by the 
Lord God of Israel: *now therefore we may 
not touch them. 

20 This ^ve \\i\\ do to them ; we will even let 
them live, lest wTath be upon us because of the 
oath which we sware unto them. 

21 And the princes said unto them, Let them 
live, but let them be hewers of wood and draw- 
ers of water, unto all the congregation ; as the 
princes had * promised them. 

22 % And Joshua called for them, and he 
spake unto them, saying, Wherefore have ye be- 
guiled us, saying, * We are very far from you ; 
when ye " dwell among us? 

23 Now therefore ye are ^ cursed, and there 
shall t none of you be freed from being bond- 
men, *and hewers of wood and drawers of wa- 
ter for the house of my God. 

24 And they answered Joshua, and said, Be- 
cause it was certainly told thy servants, how that 
the Lord thy God ''commanded his sei-vant 
Moses to give you all the land, and to destroy all 
the inhabitants of the land from before you, 
therefore we were ^ sore afraid of our lives be- 
cause of you, and have done this thing. 

25 And now, behold, '^ \ve are in thine hand : 
as it seemeth good and right unto thee to do 
unto us, do. 

26 And so did he unto them, and delivered 
them out of the hand of the children of Israel, 
that they slew them not. 

27 And Joshua made them that day ^ hewers 
of wood and drawers of water for the congrega- 
tion, and for the altar of the Lord, even unto this 
day ' in the place which he should choose. 

CHAP. X. 
5 Five kifigs war against Gibeon. 6 Joshua res- 
cueth it. 11 God fighteth agahist t/iem with

the 'iiord of Joshua. 16 The five kings are dis- 
covered in a cave : 23 they are brought forth, 
24 scornfidly used, 26 and hanged. 28 Seven 
kings more are conquered. 43 Joshua return- 
eth to Gilgal. 
■'^rOAV it came to pass, when Adoni-zedek 
-LN king of Jerusalem had heard how Joshua 
had taken Ai, and had utterly destroyed it ; ^ as 
he had done to Jericho and her king, so he had 



p. X, Five kijigs ivar against the rr-i. 17^ 

done to ^ Ai and her king ; and how the inha- christ 
bitants of Gibeon had made peace v/ith Israel, ^J^^ 
and were among them ; i, chap. 

2 That they = feai-ed greatly, because Gibeon 8. 3, cs-c 
voas a great cits', as one of the f royal cities, ai^d l^isfie^ 
because it wa\ greater than Ai, and all the men f^^^^-^^- 
thereof wf re might\\ • ciuesofthi 

3 Wherefore Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem *'"^'''"-' 
sent unto Hoham king of Hebron, and unto Pi- 
ram king of Jarmuth, and unto Japhia king of 
Lachish, and unto Debir king of Eglon, saying, . 

4 Come up unto me, and help me, that \\e 

may smite Gibeon : ^ for it hath m.ade peace with ^^-^-^^ 
Joshua and with the children of Israel. ap. . ,. 

5 Therefore the five kings of die Amorites, 
the king of Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the 
king of Jarmuth, the king of Lachish, the king of 
Eglon, ^ gathered themselves together, ?nd v^^entecuap.o.Si 
up, they and all their hosts, and encamped before 
Gibeon, and made war against it. 

6 IT And the men of Gibeon sent unto Joshua 

to ^the camp to Gilgal, saying. Slack not thy f chap. f. 
hand from thy servants ; come up to us quickly, ^°- '^^•*' 
and save us, and help us : for all the kings of the 
Amorites that dwell in the mountains are ga- 
thered together against us. 

7 So Joshua ascended from Gilgal, he ^and all gchap.a.?, 
the people of war widi him, and all the mighty 

men of valour. 

8 T[And the Lord said unto Joshua, "^ Fear t chap, 
them not : for I have delivered them into thine judges 
hand ; there ' shall not a man of them stand before ^" "" , , 

, ' I Chap. 1. e, 

thee. 

9 Joshua therefore came unto them suddenly,' 
a?id 'Went up from Gilgal all night. 

10 And the Lord ''discomfited them before ^ J^Js" 
Israel, and slew them with a great slaughter at I's*^. ^, 
Gibeon, and chased them along the way that^"'"' 
goeth up to Beth-horon, and smote them to 
Azekah, and unto Makkedah. 

11 And it came to pass, as they fled from 
before Israel, and were in the going down to 
'Beth-horon, that the Lord cast down great '^hap. 
stones from heaven upon them unto "" Azekah, maap. 
and they died : they were more which died with ^*-^*- 

^ hailstones than they A^'hom the children of Israel "^^-i^'^s, 
slew with the sword. 

12^ Then spake Joshua to the Lord in the 
day when the Lord delivered up the Amorites 
before the chikfren of Israel, and he said in the 
sight of Israel, ° Sun, f stand thou still upon Gi- oisaiah 
beon, and thou. Moon, in the valley of Ajalon. Ecdis 

13 And the sun stood still, and the i^ioon ^^^ 
stayed, until the people had avenged themselves*'^ "'««'' 
upon tlieir enemies. Is not this written in the 

p book of I! Jasher ? So the sim stood still in the pssam.

17 And it was told Joshua, saying, "The five 
kings are found hid in a ca\e at Makkedali. 

18 And Joshua said, Roll great stones upon 
the mouth of the cave, and set men by it for to 
keep ^hem : 

19 And stay ye not, biu pursue after your ene- 
mies, and t smite the hindmost of them ; sufier 
them not to enter into their cities : ^ for the Lor d 
your God hath delivered them into your hand. 

20 And it came to pass, when Joshua and the 
children of Isniel had made an end of slaying 
them with a very great slaughter, till they \vere 
consumed, tkit the rest ivhich remained of them 
en*ered into fenced cities. 

21 And all the people returned to the camp 
to Joshua at ' iVIakkedah in peace : * none mo\ ed 
his torque against any of the children of Israel. 

22 Then said Joshua, Open the moutli of the 
cave, and bring out those five kings unto me out 
of the cave. 

23 And they did so, and brought forth those 
five kings unto him out of the cave, * the king of 
Jerusalem, the king of Hebron, the king of Jai-- 
muth, the king oi Lachish, cmd the king of Eglon. 

24 And it came to pass, when they brought 
out those kings unto Joshua, that Joshua called 
for all die men of Israel, and said unto tlie 
captains of tlie men of war \\hich \\ent with iiim. 
Come near, put your feet upon the necks of 
diese kijigs. And they came near, '" and put their 
feet upon the necks of diem. 

25 And Joshua said unto diem, ' Fear not, nor 
be dismayed, he strong and of good courage : for 
thus '^sliall the Lord do to all your enemies 
against whom ye fight. 

26 And afterward Joshua smote them, and slew 
dicm, and hanged them on fi\e trees : and diey 
were hanging upon the trees until the evening. 

27 And it c;ime to p:iss at the time of the 
going down of the sun, r/iat Josliua commanded, 
and they * took them dou n off the tives, and 
cast them, into die cave w herein they had been 
hid, and laid gi-eat stones in the cave's mouth, 
\v/iic/i rcmaui until this very day. 

28 ^\ And that day Joshua took Makkedah, 
and smote it w ith the edge of the s\\ ord, and the 
king tlieaof he utterly destroyed, them, and all 
the souls that ivcre therein ; he let none remain : 
and he did to the king of Makkedah '"as he did 
unto the king of Jericho. 

29 Then Joshwa passed froni Mtikkcdah, and 
all Israel with him, unto ^Libnuh, and fought 
ag;tinst Li!)nah : 

' 30 And the Lord delivered it also, and die 
king thereof, into the kind of Israel ; and he 
smote it with the edge of the sword, and all the 
~>ouls that were therein ; he let none remain in it ; 
hut did unto the king thereof as he did unto the 
kins of Jericho. 

311 And Jo.shua passed from Libnah, and all 
Israel wiih him, unto 'Lachish, and encamped 
against it, and fought agair.st it :

he had done to Libnah. 

33 HTlien Koram king of 'Gezer came up , 
to help Lachish ; and Joshua smote him cuid hit 
people, unli! he hud left him none remaining. 

34 lAnd from Lachish Joshua passed unto 
''Eglon, iind all Isiael widi liim ; and they en- Jj°;»f- 
camped against it, ;ind fought agaipist it : 

35 And they took it on that day, and smote it 
with the edge of the sw ord ; iuid all the sculs that 
W(?/-t' therein he utterly destroyed that day, ac- 
cording to all that he had done to Lachish. 

36 TlAnd Joshua went up fiom Eglon, and 

all Israel with him, unto 'Hebron; and they'^eu. 
fought against it : wi^b. 

37 And they took it, and smote it with thej^d^ 
edge of the sword, iind the king thereof, and all*-*®- 
the cities thereoi, and all die souis that jverc 
therein; he left none remaining, according to 

all that he had done to Eglon ; but destroyed it 
utterly, :md iill the souls that were dierein. 

38 1 And Joshua rctunied, and all Israel witli 
him, " to Debir, and fought against it : w.^" 

39 And he took it, and die king thereof, and " 
all the cities thereof; and they smote them w idi 
the edge of the sw ord, and utterly desU'ON'ed all

ing: as "he had done to Hebron, so he did tO" V"/:r.

also to Libn;ih, and to her king. 

40 1i So Joshua smote all the country of the

springs, and all their kings : he left none remam-

ther, they came and pitched together at the waters 
of Merom, to fight against Israel. 

6_^ And the Lord said unto Joshua, 'Be not 
afraid^ because of them: for to-mon-ow about 
this time wiU I deU\er them up all slain before 
Israel : ^ thou shalt hough their horses, and bum 
their chariots M"ith fire. 

7 So Joshua came, and all the people of war 
\vitlTi him, against them by the M'aters of Merom 
suddenly ; and they fell upon tliem. 

8 And the Lord delivered them into the hand 
of Israel, AAho smote them, and chased them 
unto I! great Zidon, and unto || f Misrephoth- 
maim, and unto the vvHey of INIizpeh eastward ; 
and they smote them, mitil they left them none 
remaining. 

9 And 'Joshua did unto them as the Lord 
bade him: he houghed tlreir horses, and bmut 
their chariots Avith fire. . 

10 ^ And Joshua at that time turned back, and 
took " Hazor, and smote the king thereof with 
the SA\"ord : for Hazor beforetime was the head 
of all those kingdoms. 

1 1 _ And they smote all the souls that -were 
therein A\ith the edge of the SA\"ord, utterly de- 
stroying t/fern: there was not t^ny left to 
breathe : and he burnt Hazor Mith fire. 

12 And all the cities of those kings, and all 
the kings of them, did Joshua take, and smote 
them with tlie edge of the SA\"ord, and he utterly 
destroyed them, " as Moses the ser\-ant of the 
Lord commanded. 

13 But as for the cities that stood still f in 
their sti-ength, Israel burned none of them, sa%-e 
Hazor onlj' ; that did Joshua bum. 

14 And all the s])oil of these cities and the 
cattle, the children of Israel took for a prey unto 
themseh-es ; but e^ery man they smote \\\\S\ the 
edge of the sA^ord, until thej' had destroyed 
them, neither left thej- anj- to breathe. 

15 1j°As the Lord commanded Moses his 
senant, so p did IVIoses command Joshua, and 
so did Joshua ; f he left nothing undone of all 
that the Lord commanded Moses. 

16 So Joshua took all that land, tlie liills, and 
all the south comi.ti::,-, "J and all the land of Go- 
shen, and the valley, and tlie plain, and the moun- 
tain of Israel, and the valley of the same ; 

17 Eiien fi-om || the mount Halak, that goeth 
up to Seir, even unto Baal-gad, in the valle}" of 
Lebanon under mount Hemaon : and all their 
kings he took, and smote them, and slew them. 

18 ii Joshua made war along time v\'itli all those 
kings. 

19 There was not a city that made peace with 
the childi-en of Israel, save "■ die Hivites the 
inhabitants of ^ Gibeon : all other they took in 
battle. 

20 *For it was of tlie Lord to harden their 
hearts, that they should come against Israel in 
battle, that he might desti'Oj- them utterh', and 
that they might have no favour, but tliat he 
might destroy tliem, '^as the Lord commanded 
Moses. 

21 "^And at tliat time came Joshua, and cut

off the ■'' Anakims from the mountains, fi-om ch*rTst

22 There was none of the Anakims left in the 
land of the children of Israel : only in Gaza, in

tribes of the children of Israel, distributed for 
inheritance to them. 

2 ''By lot vfas their inheritance, as the Lord 
commanded by the hand of Moses, for the nine 
ti'ibes, and /or the half tribe. 

3 For Moses had given the inheritance of two 
s?n^33^' tribes and an half tribe ^ on the other side Jor- 
dan : but unto the Levites he gave none inherit- 
ance among them. 

4 For the children of Joseph were * two tribes, 
Manasseh and Ephraim : therefore they gave no 
part unto the Levites in the land, save cities to 
dwell m, with their suburbs for their cattle, and 
for their substance. 

fNumb. 5 ^As the Lord commanded^ Moses, so the 
ch^-. 21- 2- children of Israel did, and they divided the land,

neh the Kenezite said unto hini. Thou know-

the man of God concerning me and thee ^ in 
Kjidesh-barnea. 

7 Forty years old voas I when Moses the ser- 
Numb. 13. vant of the Lord ' sent me from Kadesh-barnea 

to espy out the land ; and I brought him word 
again as it ivas in mine heart. 

8 Nevertheless my brethren that went up with 
me made the heart of the people melt : but I 
wholly *^ followed the Lord my God. 

9 And Moses sware on that day, saying, 
' Surely the land whereon thy feet have trodden 
shall be thine inheritance, and thy children's for 
ever, because thou hast wholly followed the

border of the inheritance of Ephraim. 10 The 
Cannan'ites not conquered. 

AND the lot of the * childi-en of Joseph f fell 
from Jordan by Jericho, unto the A-.uter of 
Jericho on the east, to the \\iicleraess tluit goeth 
up from Jericho throughout mount Betli-el, 

2 And goeth out from Beth-ei to '' Luz, and 
passeth along unto the borders of Archi to 
Ataroth, 

3 And goeth Ao\yn westward to tlie coast of 
Japlileti, unto the coast of *= Beth-horon the ne- 
ther, and to ^ Gezer : and the goings out thereof 
are at the sea. 

4 So tlie ^ chjldren of Joseph, Manassch and 
Ephraim, took their inheritance. 

5 *[[ And the border of the children of E- 
phraim according to their fimiilies x\)as thus : 
e\en tlie border of their inheritance on the 
east side was ^ Atai'oth-adar, ^ unto Bctli-horon 
the upper; 

6 And the border went out to^^'ard the sea to 
■^ Michmethah on the north side ; ajid the border 
went about eastwaid unto Taanatli-shiloh, and 
passed by it on the east to Janomi ; 

7 And it went down from Janoah to Ataroth, 
and to ' Naarath, and came to Jericho, and \vent 
out at Jordan. 

8 The border went out from Tappuah west- 
ward unto "'the river Kanah; and the goings 
out thereof were at die sea. This is the inhe- 
ritance of the tribe of tlie cliildren of Ephi'aim 
by their families. 

9 And tlie ' separate cities for the cliildren of 
Ephraim were among the inheritance of die 
children of Manasseh, all the cities Avith their 
Aillages. 

10 And " they dra^ e not out the Canaanites 
that dwelt in Gezer : but the Canaanites dwell 
among the Jiphraimites unto this day, and serve 
under tribute. 

CHAP. xyii. 

1 The lot of Manasseh: 7 his coast. 12 T/ie Ca- 
naanites not driven out. 14 The children of Jo- 
seph obtain another lot. 

THERE was also a lot for the tribe of Ma- 
nasseh ; for he was the * first-boni of Jo- ■ 
seph ; to wit, for ^ Machir the first-bom of Manas- 
seh, the father of Gilead : because he w as a man 
of Avar, therefore he had Gilead and Bashan. 

2 There Mas also a lot for " tlie rest of the 
children of Manasseh by their families ; for the 
children of ** Abiezer, and for the children of 
Helek, and for the chilcfren of ^ Asriel, and for 
the children of Shechem, and for the children 
of Hepher, and for the chiklren of Shemida: 
these %vere the male children of Manasseh the son 
of Joseph by their families. 

3 H But ^Zeiophehad, the son of Hepher, the 
son of Gilead, the son of Machir, the son of 
Manasseh, had no so/is, but daughters : and 
these are the names of liis daughters, Mahiah, 
and Noah, Hoglah, Milcah, and Tirzah. 

4 And tliey came neai- before ^Eleazar the 



CHAP. XVI. XVn. The ht of Manasseh, 185 

priest, and before Joshua the^on of Nun, and ^r^t 



before the princes, saying, ^ The Lobd com- ^"^^ 
manded Moses to gi\'e us an inheritance among j, ^.^j, 
om' brethren. Therefore according to the com- 3-. 0,7. 
mandment of the Loan he gave them an inhe- 
ritance among the brethren of their fatlier. 

5 And there fell ten 'portions to Manasseh, iver. ;, 
beside the land of Gilead and Bashan, vvhich"'"' 
were on the otlier side Jordan ; 

6 Because '" the daughters of Manasseh liad an isee^-tr.■.' 
inheritance among his sons : and the rest of 
Manasseh's sons had the land of Gilead. 

7 % And the coast of Manasseh A\as from 
Asher to ^ Michmetliali, that lieth before She- 1 chap 
chem; and the border went along on the right ^'''' 
hand unto the inliabitants of En-tappuah. 

8 Ncrw Maiiasseh had the land of Tapputili: 

but ""Tappuah on the border of Manasseh i^^-mcaar. 
longed to the children of Ephi^aim ; ^"' ^' 

9 And the coast descended unto the || river c or, hroa 
Kanah, southward of the river : these cities aiap.''i6.8. 
of Epln-aim are ^' among the cities of Manasseh : " ^^• 
the coast of Miuiiisseh also Mas on the nortli 

side of the ri\er, and the out-goings of it were at 
the sea: 

10 SoudiA^"ard it was Ephraim's, and noith- 
ward it -was Manasseh's, mid the sea is his bor- 
der ; and they met together in Asher on tiie 
north, and in Issacbiai- on the east. 

1 1 And Manasseh ° had in Issachar and ^ in ° y^iron. 
Asher Beth- shean and her towns, andlbleam and p'ls'am. 
her toM'ns, and tlie inhabitants of Dor and her 1 sigs 
towns, and die inhabitants of En-dor and lier*-^- 
towns, and the inhabitants of Taanach and her 
toMiis, and the inhabitants of Megiddo and her 
toAHis, even tliree countries. 

12 Yet the chikfren of Mtmasseh "J could not 1 J"^s^ 
drive out the inhabitants ^those cities ; but the 
Canaanites Avould dwell in that land. 

13 Yet it came to pass, A\hen the chiklien of 
Israel were w-axen sti-ong, that they ^ put the Ca- ••ciiap. 
naanites to tribute ; but did not utterlj' drive ^°" "*' 
them out. 

14 And 'the children of Joseph spake unto s chap. 
Joshua, saying, \\^hy hast thou gi\'en me but ^^'**

AND the wliolc congregation of the children 
of Israel asseniblecl together at * Shiloh, and 
•" set up the tabernacle of the congregation there. 
And the land was subdued before them. 

2 And there remained among the children of 
Isiacl^ seven tribes, N\"hich had not yet recei\ed 
their inheritiuice. 

3 And Joshua said unto the childi'en of Israel, 
How long are ye " slack to go to possess the

gn en you .' 

4 Give out from among you three men for 
eac/i tribe : and I \\ ill send them, and thej' shall 
rise, and go tlirough the land, and describe it 
according to the inheritance of them ; and they 
shall come again to me. _ 

5 And they shall di\ide it into seven parts : 
"^ Judah^hall abide in their coasts on the south, 
and the ' house of Joseph shall abide in their 
co.ists on the north. 

6 Ye shiill therefore describe the land into se- 
ven parts, and bring the description hither to 
me, ^ that I may cast lots for you here before the 
Lord our God. 

7 But the Levites have ^ no part among you ; 
for the priesthood of the Lord is their inherit- 
ance : and ''Gad, and Reuben, and half the tribe 
of Manassch, have received their inheritance 
beyond Jordan on the east, which Moses the 
servant of the Lord gave them. 

8 1i And the men arose, and went away : and 
Joshua charged them that went to describe the 
land, saying. Go and walk through the land, 
and describe it, and come again to me, that I 
ma>' here cast lots for you before the Lord 
in Shiloh. 

9 And the men went and passed through the 
land, and described it by cities into sexen parts 
in a book, and came again to Joshua to the host 
at Shiloh. 

10 t And ' Joshua cast lots for them in Shi- 
loh before the Lord: and there Jo.shua di- 
\ided the land unto the children of Israel ac- 
cording to their divisions.

1 The two tribes and a half with a blessing are^ 
sent home : 10 they build the altar of testimony 
in their journey .-11 the Israelites are offended 
thereat ; 21 they give them good satisfaction. 

THEN Joshua called the * Reubenites, and a'chap 
the Gadites, and the half tribe of Ma- '" ^' 
nasseh, 

2 And said unto them, *" Ye have kept all that b Numh., 
Moses the servant of the Lord commanded you, d-u^.'3. ii, 
^ and have obeyed my voice in all that I com- \ ^^^p^ 
manded-you : 

3 Ye have not left your brethren these many 
days unto this day, but have kept the charge of 
the commandment of the Lord your God. 

4 And now the Lord your God hath given 
rest unto your brethren, as he promised them : 
therefore now return ye, and get ye unto yoin- 
tents, ajid unto the land of your possession, 

^ which Moses the servant of the Lord gave you a Nun*. 
on the otlier side Jordan. Deut.'zs.s. 

5 But take diligent heed to do the com.mand- "'^p"-^^ 
ment and the law, which Moses the servant of 

the Los D charged you, " to love the Lord your ^^'^t- 
God, and to walk in all his ^Aaj's, and to keep 
liis commandments, and to cleave unto liim, and 
to serve him ^^•ith all your heart and mtli ail your

6 So Joshua 'blessed them, and sent them fGen.47. r. 
away : and they went unto dieir tents. i^^; 

7 H Now to die cue half of the tribe of Manas- Silli' 
seh JVIoses had given possession in Bashan : but 

unto the other half thereof gave Joshua among 
their brethien on diis side Jordan westward. Ajid 
when Joshua sent them awaj^ also unto dieir tents 
then he blessed them, 

8 And he spake unto them, saying. Return 
with much riches unto your tents, and with ve- 
ry much cattle, with silver, and with gold, and 
with brass, and with iron, and Vvith veiy much

The Israelites ojeruled at t}i£ altar : JOSHUA. 

IJ. 1; And the children of Israel ' heard sa\-, Be- 
hold, tl\e children of Reulx-n, and the children of 
Gad, and the half trilx? of ^lana.sseh, have built 
an altar over against the land of Canaan, in the 
borders of Jordan, at the passage of die children 
of Israel. 

12 And when the children of Israel heard of it, 
"" the whole congregation of the children of Israel 
gathered themsehes together at Shiloh, to go up 
to war against them. 

13 And the children of Israel "sent unto the 
children of Rcul>en, iind to the children of Gad, 
and to tlie half trilx; of Manasseh, into tlie land 
of Gilead, ° Phinehas the son of Eleazar tlie 
priest. 

14 And M'ith him ten princes, of each f chief 
house a prince, duoughout all the trilx^s of Is- 
rael ; and each ^ one was an head of the house of 
their fathers among die thousands of Israel. 

15 And they came unto the children of Reu- 
ben, and to the children of Gad, and to the half 
ti-ibe of Manasseh, unto the land of Gilead, and 
they spake with them, saying, 

16 Thus saith the whole congi-egation of die 
Lord, What trespass is diis that je have com- 
mitted against the God of Israel, to turn away this 
day Irom following die Lord, in that ye have 
buildcd you i an altar, that ye might rebel this 
day against the Lord i 

17 Is the iniquity of '^ Peor too little for us, 
fiom which we are not cleansed until this day, 
although there w as a ' plague in the congregation 
of the Lord, 

18 But that ye must tirni away this day fiom 
following die Lord .'' and it will be, seeing ye 
rebel to-day against the Lord, that to-morrow 
he w ill be wTodi * with the \\liole congregation of 
Israel. 

19 Not\vithstanding, if the land of your pos- 
session be unclean, t/ieri pass ye o\er unto the 
land of the possession of the Lor d, '^ wherein the 
Lord's tabernacle dwelleth, and take possession 
among us : but rebel not against the Lord, nor 
rebel against us, in building you an altar beside 
the altar of the Lor d our God. 

20 " Did not Achan the son of Zerah commit 
a trespass in the accursed thing, and w rath fell 
on all the congregation of Israel .' and that man 
perished not iilone in his iniquitv. 

21 H Then the children of Reuben, and the 
children of Gad, and the lialf tribe of Manasseh 
answered, and said unto the heads of the thou- 
sands of Israel, 

22 y The Lord God of gods, die Lord God 
of gods, * he knoweth, and Isn.el he shall know ; 
if /> be in rebellion, or if in transgression against 
the Lord, (save us not this day,) 

23 That we liave built us an altar to turn 
from following the Lord, or if to ofler thereon 
burnt 'offering or meat-offering, or if to ofler 
pcacc-offcrings diereon, 'let the Lord himself 
require it. 

24- And if we have not rather done it for fear 
of t//h thing, saying, f In time to come your 



^•"''"''children might speak unto our chUdren, saying. 



t/7e nvo tribes and a half pacify them. 

What have ye to do with the Lord God of 
Israel ? 

25 For the Lord hath made Jordan a border 
between us and you, ye children of Reuben and 
children of Gad ; ye have no pait in the Lord. 
So shall your children make our children cease 
from fciiring the Lord. 

26 Therefore we said, '' Let us now prepare to 
build us an altiir, not for bumt-offering, nor for 
sacrifice : 

27 But that it may be ^ a wimess between us 
and you, and our geneiations after us, that we 
might ''do the service of the Lord before him 
with our burnt-offerings, and with our sacrifices, 
and w ith our peace-offerings ; that your children 
may not say to our childi en in time to come. Ye 
have no part in the Lord. 

28 Therefore said we, tliat it shall be, when 
they should so .say to us or to our generations in 
time to come, that we may say again. Behold die 
pattern of the alt:ir of the Lord, which our fa- 
ther* made, not for burnt-offerings, nor for sacri- 
fices ; ' but it is a w itness between us and you. 

29 God forbid that we should rebel against 
the Lord, and turn this day from following the 
Lord, to build an altar for burnt-offerings, for 
meat-offerings, or for sacrifices, '^ beside the al- 
tar of the Lord our God, that is before his taber- 
nacle. 

30 H And ^\llen Phinehas the priest, and the 
princes of the con giv gat ion, and heads of the 
thousands of Israel which ivere w ith him, heard 
the words that the children of Reuben, and the 
children of Gad, and the children of Manasseh 
spake, t it pleased them. 

3 1 And Phinehas the son of Elea^iir the priest 
said unto the children of Reulxn, and to the chil- 
dren of Gad, and to the children of Manasseh, 
This day we percei^e that the Lor n ^ is among 
us, becau-jc \"e have not committed this trespass 
against the I^ord : f no^v ye ha^'e deli\ered the 
children of Israel out of the hand of the Lord. 

32 1i And Phinehas the son of Eleazai- the 
priest, and the princes, ** returned fiom the chil- 
dren of Reulx-n, and from the children of Gad, 
out of the land of Gilead, unto die land of Ca- 
naan, to the children of Israel, and brought dicm 
word agiiin. 

33 And the thing pleased the children of Is- 
rael ; and the children of Israel ' blessed God, 
and did not intend to go up against them in IxUtle, 
to destroy the land wherein the children of Reu- 
ben and Gad d^^elt. 

54 And the children of Reulxn and the chil- 
dren of Gad called the altar || Ed : for it shall be 
a witness bet<?een us diat the Lord is God.

their enemies round about, that Joshua waxed

Ehud kiUeth Eglon. CRAP. 

Arnmon and ^ Amalek, and went and smote Is- 
rael, and possessed the city of palm-trees. 

14 So the children of Israel served Eglon the 
king of Moab eighteen years. 

15 But when the children of Israel 'cried unto 
the Lord, the Lord raised them up a deliverer, 
Ehud the son of Gera, il a Benjamite, a man 
t left-handed : and bv him the children of Israel 
sent a present unto £glon king of Moab._ 

16 But Ehud made him a dagger which had 
two edges, of a cubit length ; and he did gird it 
under his raiment upon his right thigh. 

17 And he brought the present unto Eglon 
king of Moab : and Eglon i^as a very fat man. 

18 And when he had made an_ end to offer 
the present, he sent away the people that bare 
the present. 

19 But he himself turned again from, the || quar- 
ries that vjeve by Gilgal, and said, I have a sex^ret 
errand unto tliee, O khig : who said. Keep 
silence. And all that stood by him went out 
from him. 

20 And Ehud came unto him; and he was 
sitting in f a summer paiiour, m hich he had for 
liimself alone : and Ehud said, I ha\'e a message 
from God unto thee. And he arose out of his seat. 

21 And Ehud put forth his left hand, and 
took the dagger from his right thigh, "" and thrust 
it into his bellj^ : 

22 And the haft also went in after the blade ; 
and the fat closed upon the blade, so that he 
could not draw the dagger out of his belly ; and 
II the dirt came out. 

23 Then Ehud went forth through the porch, 
and shut the doors of tlie parlour upon him, and 
locked them. 

24 When he ^vas gone out, his sei-vants came ; 
and when they saw that, behold, the doors of 
the parlour were locked, thej* said. Surely he 
II ^ covereth his feet in his summer chamber. 

25 And they tarried till they were ashamed : 
and, behold, he opened not the doors of the 
parlour, therefore they took a key, and opened 
thim: and, behold, their lord %vas fallen down 
dead on the eaith. 

26 And Ehud escaped while they tarried, and 
passed beyond the * quan-ies, and escaped unto 
Seirath. 

27 And it came to pass, when he was come, 
that he blew a trumpet in the ''mountain of 
Ephraim, and the children of Israel went do\^n 
with him from the mount, and he before them. 

28 And he said unto them, Follow after me : 
for *the Lord hath delivered your enemies the 
Moabites into your hand. And they went down 
after him, and took the ^ fords of Jordan toward 
Moab, and suftered not a man to pass over. 

29 If And they slew of Moab at that time 
about ten thousand men, ail t lusty, and all men 
of valour ; and there escaped not a man. 

30 So Moab was subdued that day under the 
hand of Israel : * and the land had rest fourscore 
years. 

»eaup.4.«. 31 ^ And after him was ^Shamgar the son of 
Anath, which slew of the Philistines six hundi'ed

4, 6 Deborah and Barak deliver Israel from Jabin 
and Sisera. 21 Jael kUleth Sisera. 
ND the children of Israel again did evil in 
tlie sight of the Lord, "wiieu Ehud was 
dead. 

2 And the Lord ^ sold them into the hand of 
.labin king of Canaan, tliat reigned in "^ Hazor ; 
the captain of whose host was ^ Sisera, which 
dwelt in ^ Harosheth of tiie Gentiles. 

3 And the children of Israel cried unto the 
Lord : for he had ^ nine hundred chariots of iron; 
and t^venty years he ^mightily oppressed the 
children of Israel. 

4 •{[ And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of 
Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time. 

5 And she dwelt under the palm-ti'ee of ''De- 
borah, between Ramuh and Beth-el in mount 
Ephraim : and the children of Israel came up to 
her for judgment. 

6 And she sent arid called ' Barak the son of 
Abinoam out of ^ Kedesh-naphtali, and said 
unto him, Hath not the Lord God of Israel 
commanded, saying., Go and cfra^vtowai'd mount 
Tabor, and take with tliee ten thousand men of 
the children of Naphtali and of the childi-en of 
Zebulun r 

7 And I will draw unto thee to the 'river 
Kishon, Sisera the captain of Jabin's annj', with 
his chai-iots and his multitude ; and I will deli^- er 
him into thine hand. 

8 And Bar-ak said unto her, If thou wilt go 
with me, then I \v\\\ go : but if thou \\ iit not go 
with me, then I will not go. 

9 And she said, I will surely go with thee : not- 
^^"ithst^!1ding the journey that thou takest shall 
not be for thine honour; for the Lord shall 
™sell Sisera into the hand of a \voman. And 
Deborali arose, and went with Barak to Ke- 
desh. 

10 H And Barak called "Zebulun and Naph- 
tali to Kedesh ; and he -went up Mitli ten thou- 
sand men °at his feet: and Deborah vent up 
with him. 

11 Now Heber the Kenite, which %vas of the 
childi-en of p Hobab the father-in-law of Moses, 
had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitch- 
ed h.is tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, wliich is 
bj' Kedesh. 

12 And they shewed Sisera tliat Barak the son 
of Abinoam a\ as gone up to m.ount Tabor. 

_ 13 And Sisei-a f gathered together all his cha- 
riots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all 
the people that -were '\vith him, fiom Hiirosheth 
of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon. 

14 And DeJDorah^ said' unto Barak, Up ; for 
tliis is the day in which the Lord hath delivered 
Sisei^a into thine hand: ''is not the I^ord gone 
out before thee .' So Bm-ak went do\vri fiom

into the tent, she covered him ^\ ith a || mantle. 

19 And he said unto her, Give me, I pray 
tliee, a little water to drink ; for I am thirsty. 
And she opened a * bottle of milk, and ga\e him

2() Again lie said unto her. Stand in the door

God upon the top ol" this t rock, i| in the ordered 
place, and Uike the second bullock, and oHcr 
a burnt-sacrifice \\\{\\ the wood of the gro\c 
w hich thou shalt cut down. 

27 Then Gideon took ten men of his ser- 
vants, and did as the Lord had said unto him : 
and so it was, because he feared his father';, 
household, and the men of the city, that he could 
not do it by day, ''that he did it by night. 

28 li And when the men of the city arose 
early in the morning, behold, ' the altiu- of Baa' 
\\ as cast down, and the grove \\ as cut dow n tha^ 
was by it, and the second bullock ^vas offered 
upon the alt;ir that was built. 

29 And they said one to another, \V]\o hath 
done this tiling ? And when they enquired and 
asked, they said, Gideon the son of Joash hath 
done this thing. 

30 Then the men of the city said unto Joash, 
Bring out thy son, ^ diat he may die : because he 
hath east down the altar of Baal, and because 
he hath cut dow n the grove that was bj^ it. 

31 And Joash said unto all that stood against 
him, s Will ye plead for Baal? will ye save him r 
he that will plead for him, ^ let him be put to 
death w hiist ir is yet morning : if he be a god, 
let him plead ibr liimsclf, because orie hath cast 
down his altar, 

32 Therefore on that day he chilled him ' Je- 
rubbaal, sa\'ing, Let Baal plead ag-ainst him, 
because he hath thrown down his altar. 

33 \ Then all the Midianites, and the Ama- 
Ickites, and the children of the east were ga- 
thered together, and wxnt over, and pitched in 
''the valley of Jezreel. 

34 But the Spirit of the Lord t came upon 
Gideon, and he ' blew a trumpet ; and Abiezer 
t w as gathered after him. 

35 And he sent messengers throughout all 
Manasseh ; who also was gathered after him : 
and he sent messengers unto Asher, and unto 
Zebulun, and unto NaphtaJi ; and tliey came 
up to meet them. 

36 H And Gideon said unto God, "' If thou 
wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast 
said, 

37 Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the 
fioor ; and if the de\v be on the fleece only, mid 
it be dr>' upon all the earth beside, then shall 1 
know that thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, 
as thou hast said. 

38 And it was so : for he rose up early on the 
morrow, and thrust tlie fleece together, and 
w 1 inged the dew out of the fleece, a bow 1 
of w atcr. 

39 And Gideon said unto God, " Let 
thine anger be hot against me, and I w ill speak 
but this once : Let me prove, I pray thee, 
l)ut this pnce with the fleece ; let it now be dry 
only upon the fleece, and upon all the ground 
let there be dc\\-. 

««». 17. 40 And Ciod did " so that night : for it was diy 
upon the fleece only, and there was dew on all 
the ground.

by the dream, and interpretation of the ^arfcy- 
cake: 16 his strata-^em of trumpets and lambs 
in pitchers. 25 T/te Lphraimitcs take Oreb and 
Zeeb. 

THEN 'Jerubbaal, who /j Gideon, and all»t»«p- 
the people that ivere w ith him, rose up "■ ^*" 
-ally, and pitched beside the well o. Harod : so 
•hat the host of the Midianites were on the north 
ide'of thcmby the hill of Moreh, in theviUley. 

2 And the Lord said unto Gideon, The peo- 
ple that are w ith thee ^ are too many for me to ^ ^"^ 
■ji\ e the JMidianites into their hands, lest Israel *" '" 
vainit themsehes iigainst me, saying, *Mine own <^^'^^ 
hand hath saved me. Ll'm. ix 

3 Now theiefore go to, proclaim in the ears 
of the people, .saying, '*\Vhosoe\cr is feaiiiil and ''^*™»- 
afraid, let him return and dtpait early from fMac3.56. 
mount Gilcad. And there returned of the peo- 
ple twentj- and tw o thousiuid ; and there re- 
mained ten thousand. 

4 And tlie Lord said unto Gideon, 'The peo- eVer.g. 
pic are yet too many; bring them down unto the 
water, and I will tiy them for thee there; and it 
shall be, t/iat of wiiom I say unto thee, *^This shall {1 5*^, 
go with thee, the same shall go w ith diee ; aijcl 
of w homsoever I say unto thee. This shall liot 
go w ith thee, the same shall not go. 

5 So he brought down the people unto the 
water: and the Lord said unto Gideon, Eveiy 
one that laj^peth of the water with his tongue as 
a dog lappeth, him shalt thou set by himself; 
likew ise e\ cry one that boweth down upon his 
knees to drink. 

6 And the number of them that lapped, put- 
ting their hand to their mouth, were three 
hundred men : but all the rest of the people 
bowed dow n upon their knees to drink water. 

7 And the Lord siiid unto Gideon, «By 
three hundied men that ''lapped \\ ill I save you, j, vtr.* 
and deliver the Midianites into thine hand : and 
let all the other people go e\ cry man untohis place. 

8 So the people took \ietuals in their hand, 
and their trumpets : and he sent all the rest of 
Israel every man unto his tent, and retained 
those three hundred men : and the host of 
Midian was beneath him in the \alley. 

9 ll.\nd it came to pass tiie ' siime night, thati^^^j^j^ 
the Lord said unto him, Arise, get thee down 
imto the host ; for I ha\e delisered it into

13 And when Gideon was come, behold, 
there ivas a man that told a dream unto his 
fellow, and said. Behold, I dreamed a dream, 
and, lo, a cake of barley bread tumbled into the 
host of Midian, and came unto a tent, "and 
smote it that it fell, and overturned it, that the 
tent lay along. 

14 And his fellow answered and said, " This 
is nothing else save the sword of Gideon the 
son of Joash, a man of Israel -.for into his hand 
hath God delivered Midian, and all the host. 

15 11 And it was so, a\ hen Gideon heard the 
»r"«;^ telling of the dieam, and fthe interpretation 
ihcrttf. thereof, that he ^^-orshipped, and returned into 

the host of Israel, and said, Arise ; for the Lord 
hath delivered into your hand the host of Midian. 

16 And he divided the three hunch-ed men 
t^p'euin into three companies, and he put fa tmmpet in 
m'lniei CA'cry man's hand, with empty pitchers, and 
\oT,fir^' II lamps within the pitchei's. 
Irandi, or, j^-j ^j^^j ^vt Said unto them. Look on me, and 

do likewise : and, behold, when I come to the 
outside of the camp, it shall be, that as I do, so 
shall ye do. 

18 When °I blow with a trumpet, I and all 
that a7-e with me, then blow ye the trumpets 
also on every side of all the camp, and say. The 
sword oi the Lord, and of Gideon. 

19 T[So Gideon, and the hundied men that 
were with him, came unto the outside of the 
camp in the beginning of the middle watch ; and 
they had but newly set the watch : and they 
blew the trumpets, and brake the pitchers that 
■ivere in their hands. 

20 And the tliree companies blew the tium- 
pets, and brake the pitchers, and held the lamps 
in their left hands, and the trumpets in their 
right hands to blow wit/tal: and they cried, 
^The sword of the Lord, and of Gideon. 

21 And they ** stood every man in his place 
round about the camp : and all the host ran, 
and cried, and fled. 

22 And the three hundred blew the tram- 
pets, and ''the Lord set everj^ man's sword 
against his fellou", e^ en throughout all the host : 
and the host fled to Beth-shittah il in Zererath, 

-tH*b.«^. and to the f border of Abel-meholah, unto 
Tabbath. 

23 And the men of Israel gathered them- 
selves together out of Naphtali, and out oi 
Asher, and out of all Manasseh, and pursued 
after the Midianites. 

24 1[And Gideon sent messengers through- 
out all •mount Ephraim, saying. Come do^\^l 
against the Midianites, and take before tbcm 
the waters unto Beth-barah and Jordan. Thei. 
all the men of Epliraim gathered themselves 
together, and took the ' waters imto Beth-bai-ali 
and Jordan. 

25 And they took "two princes of die Mi- 
dianites, Oreb and Zecb; and they slew Oreb 

«i»a.io.:e. i^ipon Mhe rock Oreb, and Zeeb they slew at 
the ^\ine-press of Zeeb, and pursued Midian,

1 Gideon pacifieth the Ephraimites. 4 Succoth

Zebah and Zalmiinna are taken. 16, 17 Suc-

AND the men of * Ephraim said unto him, f^^fp- .

calledst us not when thou wentest to fight with t iieb. 
the Midianites? and they did chide with him iff;^//,^^«

now in compaiuson of you? Is not the gleaning "'^fO- 
of the grapes of Ephraim better than the vintage 

of Abiezer ? 

3 God hath delivered into "^ vour hands the^^*^

was I able to do in compaiison of you ? Then 
their f anger was " abated toAvai'd him, when he "f »J.*- 
had said that. Ty''ov. 

4 Ti And Gideon came to Jordan, and passed '*• ^ 
over, he, and the three hundred men that were 
\vith him, faint, yet pursuing them. 

5 And he said unto the ^ men of Succoth, ^3^^' 
Give, I pray 5^ou, loaves of bread unto the peo- ps'^.'s. 
pie that follow me ; for they be faint, and I am 
pursuing after Zebah and Zalmunna, kings of

6 1[ And the princes of Succoth said, ^Jre the « see 
hands of Zebah aiid Zalmunna no^^^ in thine 20*^?? 
haiid, ^that we should give bread unto thine {^^.isam,

7 iVnd Gideon said. Therefore when the 
Lord hath delivered Zebah and Zalmumia into 
mine hand, then I will f teai- e your flesh \vith Jf,fJ*' 
the thorns of the wilderness and \^ith briers. gveVie. 

8 And he went up thence to Penuel, and spake 
unto them likewise: and the men of •» Penuel J^"^"g' 
answered him as the men of Succoth had an- ^' ""

9 And he spake also unto the men of Penuel, 
saying, ' When I come again in peace, ^ I a\ ill ' » '

ye had saved them alive, I would not slay you. 

20 And he said unto Jethcr his first-boni, ' (Jp, 
and slay them. But the youth drew not his sA\ord : 
for he feared, because he was yet a youth. 

21 Then Zebah and Ziilnnuina said, ° Rise 
thou, and fall upon us : for as the man is, so is 
his strength. And Gideon arose, and slew Ze- 
bah and Zalmunna, and took away the || orna- 
ments that ivere on their camels' necks. 

22 TI Then the men of Israel said unto Gide- 
on, Rule thou over us, both thou, and thy son, 
and thy son's son also : for thou hast delivered 
us from the hand of Midian, 

23 And Gideon said unto them, I will not 
rule over you, neither shall my son rule over 
you : "the Lord shall rule over you. 

24 And Gideon said unto them, I would de- 
sire a request of you, that ye w ould gi\e me e\'er3- 
mim the car-rings of his prey. (For they had gold- 

u^S^'iV' c^ ear-rings, because they ivere ylshmaelites.) 
"'. «• ' 25 And they answered. We will willingly gi\ e 
them. And they spread a garment, and did cast 
therein every man the ear-rings of his prey. 

26 And the weight of the golden ear-rings 
that he requested, -was a thousand and seven 
hundred shekels of gold ; beside ornaments, and 
II collars, and puiple raiment that was on the 
kings of Midian, and beside the chains that 
•were about their camels' necks. 

27 And Gideon made an *ephod thereof, and 
put it in his citv, even in Ophrah : and all Israel 
went thither a whoring after it: ^hich thing 
became 'a snare unto Gideon, and to his house. 

28 H Thus ^\■as Midian subdued before the 
children of Israel, so that they lifted up their 
heads no more. And the coimtry- was in quiet- 
ness ''fortj' years in the days of Gideon. 

29 H And Jerubbaal the son of Joash went 
and dwelt in his own house. 

30 And Gideon had 'threescore and ten sons 
t of his body begotten : for he had many w ives.

yeai-s o\er Israel, 

23 Then God sent an • 
Abimelech and the men 
the men of Shechem dealt 
Abimelech : 

24 That the cruelty done to the threescore 
and ten sons of Jerubbaal might come, and 
their blood be laid upon Abimelech their bro- 
ther which slew them; and upon the men of 
Shechem, which f aided him in the killing of 
his brethren. 

25 And the men of Shechem set Hers in wait 
for him in the top of the mountains, and they 
robbed all that came along that A\ay by them': 
and it was told Abimelech. 

26 And Gaal the son of Ebed came Avitli his 
brethren, and ^^-ent over to Shechem : and the 
men of Shechem pat their confidence in him. 

27 And they Ment out into the fields, and 
gathered their vineyaids, and ti-ode the grapes, 
ancl made ll meiT\-, and went into the " house of 
their god, and did eat and drink, and cursed 
Abimelech. 

28 And Gaal the son of Ebed said, Who is 



IX. Gaal's conspiracy against Abimelech, 

^ Abimelech, and who is Shechem, that 
should serve him? is not

II Or, hot. 



^ye

29 And ^ would to God this people \yere un- _ _ 
der Tay hand! then would I remove Abimelech. f ssk^: 
And he said to Abimelech, Increase thine aimy, "• *■ 
and come out. 

30 "irAnd when Zebul the ruler of the city 
heard the words of Gaal the son of Ebed, his 
anger M-as il kindled. 

31 And he sent messengers unto Abimelech 

t privily, saying, Behold, Gaal the son of Ebed, ^raj?«>,or, 
and his brethi-en, be come to Shechem; and, »" r"™'"''-' 
behold, they fortify the city against thee. 

32 l^o^x therefore up by night, thou and die 
people that is with thee, and lie in Avait in the 
field: 

33 And it shall be, that in the morning, as 
soon as the sun is up, thou shalt rise early, and 
set upon the city : and, behold, ^v/ieti he and 
the people that is with him come out against 
thee, then mayest thou do to them f as thou j^.^^ 
shalt find occasion. h-mjihaii- 

34 T[ And Abimelech rose up, and all the peo- isam.io.7.. 
pie that %vere Mith him, by night, and they laid 9^\t 
wait against Shechem in four companies. 

35 And Gaal the son of Ebed Avent out, and 
stood in the entering of the gate of the city : and 
Abimelech rose up, and the people that were 
with him, from lying in wait. 

36 And when Gaal saw the people, he said to 
Zebul, Behold, there come people dov.n fi-om 
the top of the mountains. And Zebul said unto 
him, sThou seest the shadow of the mountains 
as if they vjere men. 

37 And Gaal spake again, and said, See, there 
come people do\vii by the t middle of the land, + "«]'• 
and anotner company come along by the piam y or, 

of II Meonenim. , . . „^ . --S'. 

38 1 hen said Zebul unto him, ^ Where is no v. ]["J^]f:f^'^ 
thy mouth, wherewith thou saidst. Who is Abi- ju£zu7s7'' 
nielech, that we should serve him ? is not this "verses"' 
the people that thou hast despised ? go out, 1 28,29. 
pray now, and fight -^vith them. 

39 And Gaal A^ent out before the men of 
Shechem, and fought with Abimelech. 

40 And Abimelech chased him, and he fled 
before him, and many were o\^erthrovni and 
wounded, even unto the entering of the gate. 

41 And Abimelech dwelt at Arumah: and 
Zebul 'thrust out Gaal and his brethren, that'^"^^^- 
they should not dwell in Shechem. 

42 And it came to pass on the m.orrow, that 
the people went out into the fi.eld ; and they told . 
Abimelech. 

43 And he took the people, and divided them 
into three companies, and laid wait iii the field, 
and looked, and, behold, the people were come 
forth out of the city; and. he rose up against 
them, and smote them..

45 And Abimelech Ibufrht against the city all

people that was therein, ""iuid beat down the ci- 
t>', and sowed it with salt. 

46 II And ^\ hen all the men of the tower of 
Shechem heard that., they entered into an hold 
ol' the " house of the god Berith. 

47 And it was told Abimelech, that all the 
men of the tower of Shechem were gathered 
together. 

48 And Abimelech gat him up to mount 
«pj.»a.i4. o^aimon, he and all the people that ivcre with 

him ; and Abimelech took an axe in his hand, 
and cut down a bough from the trees, and 
took it, and laid it on his shoulder, and said 
imto the people that ivere v,'\i\\ him, What ye 
have seen f me do, make haste, and do as I 
haie done. 

49 And all the people likewise cut down 
every man his bough, and followed Abimelech, 
ar.d put thcni to the hold, and set the hold on 

Pjy,^^?"' 'i'^' upon them ; ^ so that all the men of the 
tower of Shechem died also, about a thousand 
men and women. 

50 iThen went Abimelech to *> Thebez, and 
encamped against Thebez, and took it. 

51 But there was a strong tower within the 
city, and thither fled all the men and women, 
and all they of the city, and shut it to them, and 
gat them up to the top of the tOA\'er. 

52 And Abimelech came unto the tower, and 
fought against it, and went haid unto the door 
of the tower to burn it with fire. 

53 And a ■■ certain woman cast a piece of a 
mill-stone upon Abimelech's head, and all to 
break his skull. 

54 Then he called hastily unto the young man 
his ' iirmour-bearer, and said unto him. Draw 
thy sword, and slay me, that men say not of me, 
A woman slew him. And his young man thrust 
him through, and he died. 

55 And w hen the men of Israel saw tliat Abi-

56 H Thus * God rendered tlie wickedness of 
Abimelech, which he did unto his father, in

Jephthah is mcuk captains CHAP 

of the Ar,-iino7iites : 34 he performeth his i}Oxv on 
his daughter. 

NOW ^Jephthah the Gileadite was a ^ mighty 
man of valour, and he %vas the son of f an 
harlot : and Gilead begat Jephthali. 

2 And Gilead's v/ite bare him sons ; and his 
v/ife's sons gi-e\v up, and they thrust out Jeph- 
thah, iind said unto him, Tliou shalt not inherit 
in our father's house ; for thou art the son of a 
sti-ange woman. 

3 Then Jephthah fled f fi-om his brethren, 
and dwelt in the land of Tob : and there were 
gathered " vain men to Jephthah, and went out 
with him. 

4 1i And it came to pass f in process of time, 
that the children of Ammon made \vai- against 
Israel. 

5 And it was so, that when the children of 
Ammon made A\'ar against Israel, the elders of 
Gilead went to fetch Jephthah out of the '^land of 
Tob: 

6 And they said unto Jephthah, Come, and 
be our captain, that we may fight with the chil- 
dren of Ammon. 

7 And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gi- 
lead, Did not ye ^hate me *^and expel me out of 
my father's house .' and why are ye come unto 
me now when ye axe in distress ? 

8 And the elders of Gilead said unto Jeph- 
thah, s Therefore we turn again to thee now, that 
thou mayest go \\'ith us, and fight against the 
children of Ammon, and be '^ our head o^■er all 
tlie inhabitants of Gilead. 

9 And Jephthah said unto the elders of Gilead, 
If ye bring me home again to fight against the 
children of Am.mon, and the Lord deliver tlaem 
before me, shall I be your head ; 

10 And the elders of Gilead said unto Jeph- 
thah, The Lord f be witness betv.een us, if we 
do not so according to thj' m ords. 

11 Then Jephthah went ^^ith the elders of 
Gilead, and the people made him 'head and 
captain o\"er them : and Jephthah uttered all his 
words before the Lord in ^ jNIizpeh. 

12 T[ And Jephthah sent messengers imto the 
king of the childi'en of Ammon, saying, \V hat 
hast thou to do with me, that thou ait come 
against me to fight in my land J 

13 And the king of the childi'en of Ammon 
answered unto the messengers of Jephthah, 
' Because Israel took a^vay my land, when they 
came up out of Egypt, from Arnon e^en mito 
*" Jabbok, and unto Jordaii : now therefore restore 
those lands again peaceably. 

14 And Jephthith sent messengers again unto 
the king of the children of Ammon : 

15 And said unto him. Thus saith Jephthah, 
" Israel took not away the land of Aloab, nor tlie 
land of the childien of Ammon : 

16 But when Israel came up fi om Egj-pt, and 
■\\ alked tlirough the wilderness unto the Red sea, 
and came to Kadesh ; 

17 Then, "Israel sent messengers unto the 
king of Edom, saying. Let me, I pray thee, pass 
through thy land ; but the king of Edom would 



XI. his treatt/ %mth the Ammonites in vain. 

not hearken thereto. And in like manner they 



203 



Before 
. CHR. ST 

sent unto the knig of Moab : but he v.ould not "^- "•"• 
consent : and Israel p abode in Kadesh. ^~Z^^b^ 

18 Then they went along through the wilder- 20'. iT ' 
ness, and ^ compassed the land of Edom, and tlie ^^^^°'^- 
land of iNIoab, and came by the east side of the 
land of Moab, and pitched on the other side of 
Arnon, ^but came not ■\\ithin the border ofrN'^mb. 
Moab : for Anion \vas the ^border of Moab. 22:36.' ^ 

19 And 'Israel sent messengers unto Sihor; = neut. 
king of the Amorites, the king of Heshbon ; and ^'^' 
Israel said unto him, * Let us pass, we pray thee, t^^'^mb- 
thi'ough thy land unto my place. Deut!'2.27. 

20 But '^Sihon ti-usted not Israel to pass^^^^b. 
thi-ough his coast : but Sihon gathered all his dVu?! '2. 30. 
people together, and pitched in Jahaz, and fought 
against Israel. 

21 And the Lord God of Israel delivered 
Sihon and all his people into the hand of Israel, 
^and they smote them : so Israel possessed all the fj^'^T''- 
land of tlie Amorites, the inhabitants of that *" ^' ^' 
country. 

22 And they possessed all the ^ coasts of the y ^eut. 
Amorites, fi-om Anion even unto Jabbok, and ^ ^*' 
fi-om the \\-iiderness even unto Jordan. 

23 So now the Lord God of Israel hath dis- 
possessed the Amorites fi-om before his people 
Israel, and sliouldest thou possess it? 

24 Wilt not thou possess that which ^Che 
mosh tliy god giveth thee to possess ? So whom 
soever the Lord our God shall di'ive out from "-^^ 
before us, them will we possess. 

25 ^And now art thou any thing better dian 
Balak the son of Zippor king of Moab ? did he aKsmb 
e^-er stri\-e against Israel, or did he ever fight 
against them, 

26 \\'hile Israel dwelt in '^ Heshbon and he: fa N^^b. 
to\^Tis,_ and in *= Aroer and her towns, and in all '^^e> 
die cities that be along bj' the coasts of Anion, ^^ 
three hundred years : -i\-hy therefore did ye not 
recover them \y]xhin that time ? 

27 ^Mierefore I \\a.ve not sinned a^inst thee, 
but thou doe St me v.rong to war against me: 
the Lord "^the Judge be ^ judge tiiis dav be- 
tween the children of Isra.el and die children 01 e oer le 
Ammon. s.^'ii.h. 

28 Ho%\-beit, the king of the children of Am- ^^:^ 
mon heaikened not unto the words of Jephthah 
which he sent him. 

29 % Then ^the Spirit of the Lord came upon fchap. 
Jephthali, and he passed over Gilead, and Ma- '■'"• 
nasseh, and passed over Mizpeh of Gilead, and 
from Mizpeh of Gilead he passed over unto the 
childreii of Amnion.. 

SO And Jephthah e^•o^ved a aow unto the 
Lord, and said. If thou shalt w ithout fail deli 
ver the childi en of Ammon into mine hands, 
^31 Then it shall be, thatf whatsoever conieth J";";?;.:

Samson''s birth foretold: CHAP 

7 Bat he said unto me, Behold, thou shalt 
conceive, and bear a son ; and now diiak no v. ine 
nor strong drink, neither eat any unclean thin:-; : 
for the child shall be a ^Nazarite to God horn 
the vvorab to the day of his death. 

8 ^Then Manoah intieated the Lord, and 
said, O my Lord, letthe man of God %(?hich thou 
didst send come again unto us, and teach us Vvhat 
we shall do unto the child that shall be born. 

9 And God hearkened to the voice of Ma- 
noah ; and the angel of God came again unto 
the woman as she sat in the field : but Manoah 
her husband \Kias not with her. 

10 And the ^^•oman made haste, and ran, and 
shewed her hiisband, and said unto him, fiehold, 
the man hath appeared unto me, 'that came unio 
me the other day. 

11 And Manoah arose, and went after his 
W'ife, and came to the man, and said unto him, 
Art thou the man that spakest unto the -woman I 
And he said, I awJ* 

12 And Manoah said, Nov.- let thy words 
come to pass, f How shall ^we order the child, 
and jl t ho'vo shall we do unto him ? 

13 And the angel of the Lord said unto 
Manoah, Of all that I said unto the woman, 
let her beware. 

14 She may not eat of any thing that cometh 
of the vine, "^ neither let her drink wine or strong 
drink, nor eat any unclean thing : all that I 
commanded her, let her observe. 

15 'li And Manoah said unto the angel of the 
LoKD, I pray tliee, let us detain thee, undl we 
shall have made ready a kid f foi' thee. 

16 And the angel of the Lord suid unto Ma- 
noah, Though thou detain me, I will not eat of 
thy bread : and if thou wilt offer a burnt-oiFering, 
thou must offer it unto the Lord. For Manoah 
knew n.ot that he iims an angel of the Lord. 

17 And Manoah said unto the angel of the 
Lord,' What is thy name, that w'ntu thy sayings 
come to pass, \<<t may do thee honour.'' 

18 And the angel of the Lord said unto him, 
""Why askest thou thus after my name, seeing it 
is il secret ? 

19 So Manoah took a kid with a meat-oifer- 
ing, and ofiered it " upon a rock unto the Lord : 
and the angel did w^ondrousiy, and Mraioah 
and his wife looked on. 

20 For it came to pass, when the Hame went 
up tovv'ard hea\'en from off the altar, that the 
angel of the Lord ascended in the liame of the 
altar. And Manoah and his wife looked on i?, 
and °feil on their faces to the grouncl. , 

21 But the angel of the Lord did no more 
appeajr to Manoah and to his wife. Then Ma- 
noah knevv^ that he vjas an angel of the Lord. 

22 And Manoiili said unto his wife, p We shall 
surely die, because we have seen God. 

23 But his v.'ife said unto him, ^If the Lord 
were pleased to kill us, he would not have re- 
ceivect a burnt-ofiering and a meat-oilering at 
our hands, neither would he have shewed us all 
these things, nor \vould as at this time have told 
us such thmgs as these.

14 And he said unto them. Out of tlie cuter 
came forth int;it, and out of the strong came 
forth bweetncsii. Antl ihej' could not in ' tlirce 
d;iys expound the riddle. 

15 And it cumc to pass on the seventh day, 
that they said unto S.mison's Avife, " Entice thy 
husband, that he ma} declare unto us die rid- 
dle, lest we " burn thee and diy father's house 
Av ith fire : lv-i\e ye called us t to take that we

16 Aiid Samson's w ife wept before him, and 
siiid, ° Thou dost Init hate me, and loACst me not : 
thou hast put forth a riddle unto the children of 
my people, iunl hast not told it me. And he said 
unto her, Ik'liokl, I Jia^e not told it my father 
nor m\- motlicr, and shall I tell it dice .' 

17 And she w ept before him || the ^ seven days, 
while their feast lasted : and it came to pass on 
the se\ enth d.iy, ^ that he told her, because she 
lay sore upon lilm: and she told the riddle to 
tiic children of her people. 

18 And the men of the city said unto him on 
the seventh da}' befoie the sun went down. What 
is sweeter than honej- : luid what is stronger 
ihan a lion ? .\nd he said unto them, If 3e had 
not ploughed with mj- heifer, ye had not found 
out my riddle. 

19 II And the ' Spirit of the Lord came upon 
him, and he went down to Ashkelon, and slew 
tljiriy men of them, and took their || spoil, and 
gave change of g;u"ments unto them which ex- 
pounded the riddle. And his anger was kindled, 
and he went up to his father's house.

THEN went Samson to *Gaza, and saw there 
t an harlot, and went in unto her. 

2 A7id it \vas told the Gazites, saying, Samson

and %vere t quiet all the night, sayir^g. In the

Micah's images^ and priest. JUDGES 

30 And Samson said, Let t me die witli the 
Philistincis. And he bowed hitnsclf with all his 
might ; and the house fell " upon the lords, and 
upon all tlie people that were therein. So the 
dead which lie slew at his death were more 
than theij which he .slew in his life. 

31 Tiieii his brethren and all the house of his 
f ither came down, and took him, and brought 
///'//; up, and buried him between "Zorahand 
Eshtaol in the bur\ intj-place of Manoah his fa- 
ther. And he judcied Israel tMenty \eiu-s. 

CHAP. XVil. 
1 Of tlw money that Micali first stok\ then restored, 
his mother iniketh inia^^es, 5 and the ornaments 
fur them. 7 He hireth. a jLe\)itc to be his priest. 

AND there was a man of "mount Ephraim, 
whose name was Micah. 

2 And he said unto his mother. The eleven 
Inmdred s/ieluls of siher that were taken from 
thee, about which thou cursedst, and spakest of 
also in mine ears, behold, the silver is with me; 
1 took it. And his mother said, "" Blessed be thou 
of the Loitn, my son. 

3 And when he had restored the eleven hun- 
cb'ed shckrls of sihcr to his modier, his molher 
said, I had wholly dedicated the sih er imto the 
LoRn from my hand, for nn- son to 'make a 
graven ima?:c and a molten image: now there- 
iore 1 w ill restore it unto thee. 

4 Yet he restored the money imto his mother; 
and his mother ^took two hundred s/ickels of 
silvei-, and gave them to the founder, who made 
thereof a gra\en image and a molten image : and 
they were in the house of Micah. 

5 And the man Micah had an house of gods, 
and made an *ephod, and *^tcraphim, and t con- 
secrated one of his sons, wiio became his priest. 

6 * In those days there was no king in Israel, 
but eveiy mim did t/iat which was right in his 
ow n eyes. 

7 ^ And there was a young man out of ""Beth- 
lehem-judali of the family of Judah, who was a 
Levite, and he sojourned there. 

8 And the man departed out of the city from 
Beth-'.ehem-judah to .sojourn a\ here he could find 
a place: and he came to mount Ephraim to the 
house of Micah, f as he journeyed. 

9 And Micah said unto him, Whence comest 
thou ? And he said unto him, I am a Levite of 
BeUi-lehem -judah, and 1 go to sojourn where I 
may find a place. 

10 .^nd .Micah siiid unto him. Dwell with me, 
and be ' unto me a father and a priest, and I will 
give thee ten shekels of silver by the year, and 
II t a suit of apparel, :uid thy victuiJs. So the 
Levite went in. 

1 1 And ihe Le\ ite was content to d^\ ell w ith 
the man ; and the young man was unto him as 
one of his sons. 

12 And Micah ''consecrated the Levite; and 
the young man ' became his priest, and was in 
the hotiH; of Mirah. 

1.3 Then siiid Micah, Now know I that the 
I..OR n will do me good, seeing I have a Levite to 
my priest.

14 In the way they rob Micah of his priest and 
his consecrated thin ;-s. 27 They win Laish, atid 
call it Dan. 30 They set up idolatry^ w/.crdn 
Jonathan inluriteth the priesthood. 

IN =» those days there was no kin.g in Israel : and 
in those davs the tribe of the ^ Danites sout:h 
iliem an inherit;ince to dwell in; for unto that da\ 
all their inheritance had not fallen unto thcin

2 And ihe children of Dim sen' of their family

3 When they were by the house of ^ Micali, \^y^-

G And the priest said unto tiicm, Go in peace

brethren, Do ye know that ' there is in these 
houscii an ephod, aiid teraphiin, and a graven 
image, and a molten image ? now, therefore, con- 
sider what ye have to do. 

15 And they tamed thitherward, and came to 
the house of the young man the Le\dte, eve?i un- 
to the house of iClicah, and f saluted him. 

16 And the six hundred men appointed with 
their \^'eapons of war, which ivere of the childi'en 
of Dan, stood by the entering of the gate. 

17 And the - iive men thatv.ent to spy out the 
land went up, and came in thither, aJid took 
the "^ graven image, and the ephcd, and the tera- 
phim, and the molten image : and the priest stood 
in the entering of the gate with the six hundi'ed 
men t/iat were appointed with weapons of wai". 

18 And these went into Micali's house, and 
fetched the carA'ed image, the ephod, and the te- 
rai3him, and the molten image. Then said the 
priest unto them, What do ye? 

19 And the}' said unto him, Hold thy peace, 
* lay thine hand upon thy mouth, and go with us, 
and be to us a '' father and a priest : is it better 
for thee to be a priest unto the house of one man, 
or that thou be a priest unto a tribe and a family 
in Israel ? 

20 And the priest's heart was glad, and he took 
the ephod, and the teraphim, and the graven 
image, and went in the midst of the people. 

21 So they turned and departed, and put the 
little ones, and the cattle, and the carriage, before 
tliem. 

22 Tf And when they were a good way from 
the house of Micah, the men that were in the 
houses near to Micah's house were gathered to- 
gether, and overtook the children of Dan. 

23 And they cried unto the children of Dan. 
And they turned their faces, and said unto Mi- 
cah, What aileth thee, t that thou comest with 
such a company ? 

24 And he said. Ye have taken away my gods 
which I made, and the priests, and ye are gone 
away ; ^ and what have I more ? and what is this 
that ye say unto me, What aileth thee ? 

25 And the children of Dan said unto him, Let 
not thy voice be heard among us, lest t angry 
fellows run upon thee, and thou lose thy life, 
witli the lives of thy household. " 

26 And the children of Dan ^\■ent theii' waj" ; 
and when Micah saw that they vjere too strong 
for him, he turned and went back unto his house. 

27 And they took the thi?igs \vhich Micah had 
made, and the priest which he had, and came 
unto ^ Laish, unto a people that were at quiet 
and ^ seciu^ : and they smote them with the edge 
of the sword, and burnt the citj.' Avith fire. 

28 And there was no deliverer, because it 
was ^ far from Zidon, and they had no business 
■\\ith anij man; and it \\as in the \alley that 
lieth by Beth-rehob. And they built a cit\-, iind 
dwelt therein. 

29 xA.nd they called the name of the ^ city

may put them to death, and "put a^vay evil from 
Israel. But the children of Benjamin >\'ould 
not hearken to the voice of their brethi-en the 
children of Israel : 

14 But the children of Benjamin gathered 
themselves together out of the cities unto Gi- 
beah, to go out to battle against the children of 
Israel. 

15 And the children of Benjamin were num- 
bered at that time out of the cities, twenty and 
six thousand men that drew sword, beside the 
inhabitants of Gibeah, ^vhich were numbered 
seven hundred chosen men. 

16 Among all this people t/iere were seven hun- 
dred chosen men " left-handed ; every one could 
sling stones at an Imr-breadth, and not miss. 

17 And the men of Israel, beside Benjamin, 
were numbered four hundi^ed thousand men that 
drew sv'sord : all these vja'e men of war. 

1 8 IT And the childi-en of Israel ai-ose, ° and 
went up to the house of God, and p asked coun- 
sel of God, and said. Which of us shall go up 
first to the battle against the children of Benjamin ? 
And the Lord said, Judali shall go up first. 

19 A,nd the children of Israel rose up in the 
morning, and encamped against Gibeah. 

20 And the men of Israel went out to battle 
against Benjamin ; and tlie men of Israel put them- 
selves in array to fight against them at Gibeah. 

21 And the children of Benjamin came forth 
out of Gibeah, "^ and destroyed do\vn to the 
grouixl of the Israelites that day twenty and 
t\\ o thousand men. 

22 And the people the men of Israel encou- 
raged themseh es, and set their battle again in 
array in the place where they put themselves in 
array the first day. 

23 (And the children of Israel went up and 
wept before the Lord until even, aiid'^ asked 
counsel of the Lord, saying, Shall I go up 
again to battle against the children of Benjamin 
my brother? And the Lord said, Go up against 
him.) 

24 And the children of Israel came near against 
the children of Benjamin tlie ' second day. 

25 And Benjamin went forth against them 
out of Gibeah ' the second day, and destroyed 
doMn to tlie ground of the children of L-raei 
again eighteen thousand men; all these drew

29 And Israel '' set liers in wait round about ''J°*-'' '^• 
Gibeah. 

30 And the childi-en of Israel went up against 
the children of Benjamin on the third day, and. 
put themselves in array against Gibeah, as at 
other times. 

31 And the children of Benjamin ^ent out 
against the people, and were di-a\\Ti away from

which one goeth up to || the house of God, and Tu^l "' 
the other to Gibeah in tlie field, about thirty !^°^'.^,_

32 And the children of Benjamin said. They 
are smitten down before us, as at the first. But 

the children of Israel said, " Let us flee, and ^°/''' *- 
draw them fi-om the city unto the highways. 

33 And all the men of Israel rose up out of 
their place, and put themselves in an-ay at 
Baal-tamar : and die liers in ^\'ait of Israel came 
forth out of their places, e'&en out of the mea- 
dows of Gibeah. 

34 And there came agamst Gibeali ten thou- 
sand chosen men out of all Israel, and the 
battle was sore : but they ^ knew not that evil V°u'i% 
%uas near them. "• 

35 And the Lord smote Benjamin before 
Israel, and the children of Israel destroyed of 
the Benjamites that day twenty and five thou- 
sand and an hundred men : all these drew the 
s^vord. 

36 So the children of Benjamin sa^v that 
they were smitten : ^ for die men of Israel gave It'^-^-

N'OW it came to pass in the daj^s when ^ the

Moab, he, and his wife, and his two sons. 

2 And the name of the man vias Elimelech, 
and the name of his wife Naomi, and the name 
of his two sons Mahlon and Chilion, "^Eplira- 
thites of Beth-lehem-judah. And they came 
into the country of ^ Moab, and t continued 
there. 

3 And Elimelech Naomi's husband died; and 
she was left, and her two sons. 

4 And they took them wives of the \romen of 
Moab ; the name of the oi"ie was Orpah, and the 
name of the other Ruth : and they dwelled there 
about ten yeai's. 

5 And Mahlon and Chilion died also both of 
them ; and the woman was left of her two sons 
and her husband. 

6 *[[ Then she arose with her daughters-in- 
law, that she might return from the countrj^ of 
Moab : for she had heard in the countiy of 
Moab how that the Lord had ^visited his peo- 
ple in s gi\'ing them bread. 

7 Wherefore she went forth out of the place 
Vv'here she was, and her two daughters-in-law 
with her; and they went on the way to return 
unto the land of Judah. 

8 And Naomi said unto her t\A-o daughters-in- 
law, Go, return each to her mother's house : the 
Lord ''deal kindljMvith j'ou, as 3"e have dealt 
^^"zth the ' dead, and ^\ith me. 

9 The Lord grant you that ye may find 
''rest, each of you in the house of her husband. 
Then she kissed them ; and they lifted up their 
voice, and v»'ept. 

10 And they said imto her. Surely we will 
return with thee unto thy people 

11 And Naomi said. Turn again, my daugh-

any more sons. in my \^"omb, 'that they may be

12 Turn again, my daughters, go your way ; 
for I am too old to ha^^e an husband. If I should

14 And Boaz said unto her. At meal time 
come thou hither, and eat of the bread, and dip 
thy morsel in the \ inegar. And she sat beside 
the reapers i and he reached her parched corn, 
and she did eat, and was suHiced, "and left.

an ephah of b:irky. 

18 T -Vnd she took /'/ up, and went into the

CHAP. IV. 
1 Boaz calleth into judgment the next kimmaJi. 
6 He refuseth the redemption according to the 
manner in Israel. 9 Boaz buyeth the inherit- 
ance: 10 he marrieth Ruth: 13 she heareth 
Obed the grandfather of David. 18 The ge- 
7ieration of Pharez. 

THEN \^-ent Boaz up to the gate, and sat 
him down there: and, behold, ^ the kins- 
man of whom Boaz spake came by ; unto whom 
he said. Ho, such a one I turn aside, sit down 
here. And he turned aside, and sat down. 

2 And he took ten men of the '' elders of the city, 
and said. Sit ye do^in here. And they sat down. 

3 And he said unto the kinsman, Naomi, that 
is come again out of the countrj'of Moab, selleth a 
pai'cel of land, which was our brother Elimelech's: 

4 And 1 1 thought to ad-vertise thee, saying, 
" Buy it ^ before the iriliabitants, and before the 

! elders of my people. If thou wilt redeem zV, 
redeem zV.- but if thou wilt not redeem i?, then 
tell me, that I may kno^\' : for there is none to 
redeem it ^ beside thee ; and I am after thee. 
And he said, I will redeem it. 

5 Then said Boaz, What day thou bu5-est the 
field of the hand of Naomi, thou must buy it also 
of Ruth the jSloabitess, the A\ife of the dead, ^to 
raise up the name of the dead uponhis inheritance. 

6 Ti And the kinsman said, I cannot redeem 
it for mj'self, lest I mai- mine own iniieritance : 
redeem thou my right to thyself; for I cannot 
redeem it. 

7 sNow this was the manner in former time 




and marrieth Ruth. 

in Israel, concerning redeeming and concerning 
changing, for to confirm all things ; a man 
plucked oft' his shoe, and gave it to his neigh- 
bour ; and this %vas a testimony in Israel. 

8 Therefore the kinsman said unto Boaz, 
Buy it for thee. ** So he di'ew off his shoe. hver. - 

9 ^ And Boaz said unto 'the elders, and unto ive-.; 
all the people. Ye are wimesses this day, that 1 
have bought all that ivas Elimelech's, and all that 
xvas Chilion's and Mahlon's, of die hand of Naomi . 

10 Moreo\-er, Ruth the Moabitess, the wife 
of Mahlon, have I purchased to be my wife, to 
''raise up the name of the dead upon his inherit- kceut-ass. 
ance, that the name of the dead be not cut off 
from among his brethren, and from the gate of 
his place : ye are >vitnesses this day. 

11 And all the people that were in the gate, 
and the elders, said, PFe are witnesses. The 
Lord make the - woman that is come into thine ^^U^V'

4 i; And A\ hen tlie time was that Klkanah

her sons and her daughters, portions : 

5 But unto Hannah he gave || a worthy por- 
tion; for he loved Hannali: '^but the Lord had 
shut up her \\ omb. 

6 And her ad\ers;uy also f provoked her sore, 
for to make her fret, because tne Lord had shut 
up her womb. 

7 And as he did so ye;u- by year, || t \\ hen she 
\\ent up to the house of the Lord, so she pro- 
voktd her; therefore she wept, and did not eat. 

8 Tlien said Elkanah her husband to her, 
Hannah, \\hy weepest thou .' and A\hy eatest 
thou not ': and w l\y is thy heart grie\ ed ? a7n not 
I 8 better to tlue than ten sons .' 

9 If So Hannah rose up after they had eaten 
in Shiloh, and after they had dnnik. Now Eli 
the priest sat upon a seat b> a post of tlie ** tem- 
ple of the Lord. 

10 And she ivos f in bitterness of soul, and 
prayed unto the Lord, and wept sore. 

11 And she 'vowed a vow, and .said, O Lord 
of hosts, if thou M'ilt indeed look on the afflic- 
tion of thine handmaid, and remember me, 
and not forget thine handmaid, but wilt give 
unto thine handmaid t 'i m^i" ciiild, then I 
will gi\e him unto the Lord all the days of 
his life, and ^ there shall no razor come upon

12 And it came to pass, as she f continued 
praying befoie the Lord, tJ-uU Eli marked her 
moudi. 

13 Now Hannah, she spake in her heart; onh- 
her lips nuned, ' but her Aoice w as not henrd :

9 He will ^ keep the feet of his saints, and 
the wicked shall be silent in darkness ; for by 
strength shall no man prevail. 

10 The adversaries of the Lord shall be bro- 
ken to pieces ; ^ out of heaven shall he thunder 
upon them: the Lord shall judge the ends of 
the earth ; and he shall give strength unto his 
king, and exalt the ""horn of his anointed. 

11 And Eikanah went to Ramah to his house ; 
and the child " did minister unto the Lord be- 
fore Eli the priest. 

12 1[ Now the sons of Eli were ° sons of Belial ; 
they p knew not the Lord. 

13 And the priest's custom witli the people 
ivas, that, Avhen any man offered sacrifice, the 
priest's servant came, while the flesh A\-as in 
seething, with a flesh-hook of three teeth in his 
hand ; 

14 A.vA he stiuck it into the pan, or kettle, or 
caldron, or pot; all that the flesh-hook brought 
up the priest took for himself. So they did in 
1 Shiloh unto all the Israelites that came thither. 

15 Also before thej' ''burnt die flit, the priest's 
senant came, and said to the man that sacrificed. 
Give flesh to roast for the i:riest ; for he W'\\\ not 
have sodden flesh of thee, but raw. 

16 And if any man said unto him. Let them 
not fail to bum the fat j presently, and then take 
as much as thy soul desireth ; then he would 
answer him.. Nay ; but thoa shaft give it me 
now : and if not, ^ I vrill take it hs' force. 

17 Wherefore the sin of the young men Avas 
very great 'before the Lord : for men abhorred 
the offering of the Lord. 

18 T[ But Samuel ministered before the Lord, 
bang a child, "girded with a linen ephod. 

19 Moreover, his mother made liim a little 
coat, and brought it to liim from yeai- to year, 
when she came up with her husbaiid to " offei' 
the yearly sacrifice. 

20 ^ And Eli "> blessed Eikanah and his M^ife, 
and said, The Lord give diee seed of this woman 
for the II loan which is lent to the Lord. And 
they went unto their q>\w\ home. 

21 And the Lord * visited Hannah, so that 
she conceived, and bai-e three sons and two 
daughters. And the child Samuel '' grew before 
the Lord. 

22 *ii Now Eli vias very old, and heai-d all that 
his sons did unto all Israel ; and how they lay 
with the women that f assembled at the door of 
the tabernacle of the congregation. 

23 And he said unto them, Why do ye such 
things ; for || I hear of your evil dealings by all 
this people. 

24 Nav', m.y sons ; for it is no good report that 
I hear : ye make the Lord's people || to trans-

25 If one man sin against another, the judge 
shall judge liini : but if a man sin "^ against the 
Lord, who shall intreat for him? Notwithstand-

and thy two sons also, Hophni and Phinehas,

8 They sent therefore and gathered all the lords

we do with the ark of the God of Israel ? And they 
answered. Let the ark of the God of Israel be 
carried about unto Gath. And they carried the 
ark of the Goci of Israel about thither. 

9 And it was so, that, after they had carried it 
about, ''the hand of the Lord was against the 
city with ' a very great destruction: and he "" smote 
the men of the city both small and great, and 
they had emerods in their secret parts. 

10 Therefore they sent the ark of God to 
Ekron. And it came to pass as the ark of God 
came to Ekron, that the Ekronites cried out, 
saying,. They have brought about the ark of the 
God of Israel to us, to slay us and our people. 

1 1 So thev sent and gathered together all the 
lords of the t*hilistines, and said. Send away the

They send to them of Kirjath-jearim to fetch it. 

AND the ark of the Lord was in the counti-y 
of the Philistmes seven months. 

2 And _ the ^ Philistines called for the priests 
and the diviners, saying, What shall we do to the 
ark of the Lord ? tell us wherewith -^ve shall send 
it to his place. 

3 And they said. If ye send aw^ay the ai'k of the 
God of Israel, "^ send it not empty ; but in any wise 
return him *= a trespass-offering : then ye shall be 
healed, and it shall be ^ knowTi to you why his 
hand is not removed from you. 

4 Then said they. What shall be the trespass- 
offering which we shall return to him 1 They an- 
swered, ' Five golden emerods, and fi\ e golden 
mice, according to the number of the lords of tlie 
Philistines : for one plague was on t you all, and 
on your lords. 

5 Wherefore ye shall make images of your 
emerods, and images of your mice that mar the 
land ; and ye shall ^ gi\'e glory unto the God of 
Israel : peradventure he will lighten s his hand 
from off you, and from off ''your gods, and from 
off your land. 

6 Wherefore then do ye harden your hearts, 
as the Eg^-ptians and Pharaoh hardened their 
hearts 'i when he had wrought || wondeifiillj^ 
among them, 'did they not let fthe people go,

"1 Be/ occasion of the ill goz^ernrnent of SamuePs

ing in grief is comforted by God: 10 he telleth 
the Planner of a king. 19 Cod ivilleth Samuel to 
yield unto the importunity oj the people. 

AND it came to pass, wdien Samuel was old, 
tliat he made his sons ^judges o\er Israel. 

2 Now the name of his first-born was Joel'; 
and the name of Ms second, Abiali : tiiey were 
judges in Beer-sheba. 

3 And his sons v/alked not in his ways, but 
turned aside after lucre, and '' took bribes, and 
per\erted judgment. 

4 Then all the elders of Israel gathered them- 
sehes together, and came to Samuel unto 
Ramah, 

5 And said unto him. Behold, tliou ait old, aiid 
thy sons walk not in thy ways : no^v "^ mi?Ji.e us a 
king to judge us like cill the nations. 

6 IT But the thing f displeased Samuel, when 
tliey said, Gi\e us a king to judge us. And Sa- 
muel prayed unto the Lord. 

7 And the Lord said unto Samuel, Hearken 
untb the voice of the people in all tliat they say 
unto thee : ^ for they ha^'e not rejected thee, but 
they have rejected me, that I should not reign 
OA-er them. 

8 According to rJI the works v. hich they have 
done since the day that I brought tliem up out 
of Egypt even unto this day, Vv herewith they 
have forsaken me, and served ^ other gods, so do 
they also unto thee. 

9 Now therefore || hearken unto their voice : 
II howbeit, yet protest solemnly unto them, axid 
shew them ^ the manner of the king that shall 
reign over them. 

10 II And Samuel told sJl the v.ords of the 
Lord unto the people that asked of him a king. 

11 And he said. This will be the ^ manner of 
the king that shall reign over you ; he a\ ill ^ take 
your sons, and appoint the7n for liimself, tor his 
chaiiots, card to be liis horsemen ; and some shall 
am before his chai'iots. 

12 And he will appoint him captains OAX-r thoii*-

to eai- his ground, and to reap his har^-est, and to 
make his instiaiments of wai', and instruments of 
jiis chariots. 

13 And he v.'ill take your daughters to be con- 
fecti oneirics, and ta be cooks, and to be bilkers. 

' 14 And he will take your 'fields, and your

them., and give themio his servfaits.

8 And the senunt ans\\cix;d Saul iigaiii, and 
^;i:d, Behold, t I liave here at hand the fourth 
piirt of a shekel of silver : that w iil I gi\ e to the 
man of God, to tell us our way. 

9 (i3tforetlme in I.srael, \\ hen a man went to 
8 enquire of Gotl, thus he spake, Come, and let 
us go to the seer : for Jjc that is now called a Pro- 
phet was Ixforetime cidled a '' Seer.) 

10 Then said Saul to his servant, f \^'ell said ; 
come, let us go : so they went unto the city where 
the m;ui of God was. 

11 T y^nd as tliej- went up f the hill to the 
cit}', they found > oung ' maidens going out to 
cb-a\s' water, and said ur.to them. Is the seer 
here ? 

12 Ar.d they answe;vd diem, and said. He is ; 
behold, /le is before you : m;ike haste now, for 
he came to-cLi>- to th»e cit>- ; for r/?ere is a || sa- 
crifice of the people to-day in the '' high place : 

13 As soon as ye he come into the city, ye 
shall straightway find him, before he go up to the 
hi/h place to eat : for the iK^ople will not eat until 
lie come, becautiC he doth bless the sacrifice ; 
and afterw ards they eat that be bidden. Now 
therefore get you up ; for about t this time ye 
shall find him. 

14 And they went up into the city : and when 
they were come into the city, behold, Samuel 
ciinie out against them, for to go up to the high 
place. 

15 Ti ' Now the Lord had ftold Samuel in 
his ear a daj before Saul came, siiying, 

IG To-mono\\- about this time I w ill send thee

"'^^■'^- Israel, that he may sii\e my people out of the 
hiuid oi" the Philistines : for I ha\e " looked up- 
on my people, because their cry is come inito me. 

17 And when Samuel saw Saul, the Lord 
said unto him ; Behold the man whom I spake 
to thee of! tliis siime shall f reign over my 
people. 

18 Then Saul drew near to Samuel in the gate, 
and said. Tell me, I praj thee, w here tlie seer's 
house is. 

19 And Samuel answered Saul, and said^ I 
am the seer : go up before me unto the high 
place ; " for ye shall eat w ith me to-ckiy, and to- 
nioiTow 1 w ill let thee go, and will tell thee all 
diat is in thine heart. 

20 And as ior '" tliine asses that were lost

the \ are tbiind. .And on whom is all the desire 
of Israel? Jsitnof^ on thee, and on all thy fa-

21 And Saul answered and said, ' jIm not I a

and my family the least of ail the lamilics of the 
tribe of Benjamin .' wherefore then speakest thou 
t so to me '?

16 And Saul said imto his uncle, 
plainly that the asses were found,

he told him not.

the fjcoplc of ingratitude : 16 he terrifieth them 
imth thunder in har=Dest time : 20 he comfort- 
eth them in God''s mercy. 

AND Samuel said imto all Israel, Behold, I 
ha\e * hciirkened unto your \oice in idl that 
ye said unto me, and ha^■e made '" a king o\ er 
you. 

2 And now, behold, the king " walketh Isefore

4 And they Siiid, Thou ha.st not defrauded us, 
nor oppressed us, neither liast thou taken aught 
of an>' man's hand. 

5 And he ssiid unto them. The Lord /\y wit- 
ness agaiiibt you, and his anointed is a\ itness this 
day, that ye ha\e not found aught *" in my hand, 
.\nd they answered, He is witness. 

^1 .\nd Samuel said unto the people, // is 
the Lord that || advanced Moses and Aaron, iuid 
that brought your fithers up out of the huid of 
Egji)t. 

7 Now tlierefore stiuid still that I may reason 
witli you Ix'forc the Lord of all the | righteous 
acts ot the Lord, which he did t to you iuid to

tJ \V'hen Jacob was ' come into Eg^pt, and 
your fathers crietl unto theLoRD, then theLoRo 
'' sent Moses and Aaron, w hich brought forth

9 And \\ hen they • forgat the Lor n their GocI,

'f the host of H;i-/,or, and into the hand of the 
Philistines, .-ind into tlK- hand of tlv kiri;,' of Mo- 
ab, and the\ fought against them 

10 And tliey crird unto the L..;.-, .aid siiid, 
" We have sinned, lx.auise we have fons;iken the 
Lord, and have served * Baalim and Ashtaroth : 



S.\MUEL. and reproveth tlie people of ingratitude. 



but now deliver us out of the hand of our cne

11 -Vadthc Lord sent ^ Jen.ibb.ul,andBedan,

out of the hind of your enemies on ever>' side, and 
ye dwelled wife. 

12 And "v\hen ye sa\v tliat * Nidiash the king 
of the children of Amnion came against you, 
ye said unto me, Nay ; ' but a king sh;ill reign 
oxcv us : when " the Lord your God was your 
king. 

13 Now therefore behold the king whom ye 
ha\e chosen, and v\ hom ye h:i\e desired : tuid, 
behold, the LoRohatJi seta king over you. 

14 If ye will fear the Lord, and sene him, 
and obey liis \oice, and not relx^l against the

•and also the king that rcigneth over you, f con-

18 So Samuel called unto the Lord; and 
the Lord sent thunder and rain that day: and 
all the people greatly " feared tlie Lord and 
Samuel. 

19 And iill the people said unto Samuel, ^Pray 
for diy ser\;uits unto the Lord thy God, that we 
die not : lor we have added unto .ill our sins this 
evil, to ask us a king. 

20 1[ And Samuel s;\id unto the ix;opIe, Fear 
not : (ye have done all this w ickedness : yet turn 
not aside from following the Lord, but serve

21 And '■ tuni ye not aside : for then shall ye

22 For the Lord will not fors:ike Jiis people

•The Philistines com.: aguinsi Israel: CHAP, XIII. XIV 
Fhi/isfines. 19 The policy of the Philistines, to 
suffer no smith in Israel. 
AUL 1" reigned one year; and when he had 
reigned two years over Israel, 

2 S-iul eh.ose him three thousand men of Israel; 
i-j/iercof two tliovisand ^^"ere with Sani in Mich- 
niash :ind in mount Beth-el, and a thousand ■\\ere 
Avith Jonathan in. ^Gibeali of Bergamin: and 
the rest of the people b.e sent e^'cry man to his 
tent. 

3 And Jonathan smote the ^ garrison of the Phi- 
listines that ivas in || Geba, and the Philistines 
heard irf it. And Saul '^ biei,v the trumpet through- 
out ail the land, saying, Let tiie Hebre\A's hear. 

4 /Vr.d all Israel hcmxl say that Saul had smit- 
ten a gairison of the Phili.stines, and that Israel 
also t was had in abomination with the Philistines. 
And the people were called togetlier after Saul to 
Gilgal. 

5 ^ And the Philistines gathered themselves 
together to fight with Israel, tliiity thousand 
chariots, and six thousand horsemen, and people 
as the sand v.hich is on the sea- shore in multitude : 
and they came up, and pitched in Michmash, 
eastwai'd fi'om Beth-aven. 

6 When the men of Israel saw that they were 
in a sti-ait (for the people were distre.'^.sed,) then 
the people did hide themselves in "^ca^^es, and 
in thickets, and in rocks, and in high places, and 
in pits. 

7 And some of the Hebrew's went o^-er Jordan 
to the larid of Gad and Gilead. As for Saul, he 
ivas yet in Giigal, and all the people t followed 
hin.i trembling. 

8 % ^ And he tarried seven days, according to 
the set time that Samuel /uid appointed: but Sa- 
muel came not to ^Gilgiii; and the people were 
scattered from him. 

9 And Saul said, Bring hither a bumt-ofFeri"ng 
to me, and peace- offerings. And he offered the 
bui-nt- offering. 

10 And it came to pass, that as soon as he had 
made an end of offering the burnt-offering, be- 
hold, Samuel came ; and Saul went out to meet 
him, tliat he might t salute him. 

1 1 ff And Samuel said, What hast thou 
done? And Saul said. Because I saw tliat the 
people w ere scattered fi-om me, and that thou 
camest not within the days « appointed, and that 
the Philistines gathered themseh-es together at 
'' Michmash ; 

12 Therefore said I, The Philistines will come 
down no\v upon me to Gilgal, and I have not 
t made supplication unto the Lord : I forced 
myself therefore, and offered a burnt-offering. 

13 And Samuel said to Saul, ' Thou hast done 
foolishly : ^ thou hast not kept the commandment 
of the Lord thy God, which he commanded 
thee:_for now -would the Lord have established 
tliy kingdom upon Israel for t\cr. 

14 But now thy kingdom ' sliall not continue : 
the Lord hath sought him a "Mnan after his own 
heart, and the Lord hath commanded him to be 
captain overhis people, because thou hast not 
kept that which the Lord commanded thee. 

15 P 



they suffer no smith among the?ri. £--'•' 

15 And Samuel arose, and gat him up fiom christ 
Gilgal unto Gibeah of Benjamin. And Sairl J^ 
numbered the people that ivere t present \A'ith ^ ^^.^ 
him, " about six hundred men. /'"'«''• 

16 And Saul, and Jonathan his son, aiul the^^^^^P- 
people t/iat were present with them, abode in 
° Gibeah of Benjamin: but the Philistines en.- ovgrse?. 
camped in Michmash. 

17 yi And the spoilers came out of the camp of 
thc.Philistines in tlu-ee companies : one company 
turned unto the way th^t leadeth to p Ophrah, unto p Josk 
the land of Shual : 

18 And another company turned the v.'ay to 
1 Beth-horon : and another company turned to the '\ Josh. 
\vay of the border that looketh to the valley of 
""Ze1;oiim tovrard the wilderness. tNeh.u.S'i. 

19 *ff Now there *Avas no smith found through- .s a Kings 
out all the land of Israel: for the Philistines ler.'M. ; 
said, lucst the Hebrews make them swords or 
spears : 

20 But all the Israelites went down to the Phi- 
listines, to sharpen eveiy man his shai-e, and his 
coulter, and his axe, and his mattock. 

21 Yet they had f a file for the mattocks, and ^^^^-^.^ 
for the coulters, and for the forks, and for the mmhu 
axes, and t to shaipen the goads. tHeb.*ose/ 

22 So it came to pass in the day of battle, that 
thei-e was* neither sword nor spear found in the t judges s.s. 
hand of any of the people that were with Saul and 
Jonathan : but \\\^ Saul and with Jonathan his 
son was there found. 

23 And the || gairison of the Philistines went \t?niin

8 Then said Jonathan, Behold, ^ ue will pass

9 If they say thus unto us, t Tarn- until we

hid themsehes in mount Eplu-aini, ivhen they

22) So the Lord "■ saved Israel that day: and 
the batde pa.sscd over unto ^ Beth-aven. 

24 1[ And tlie men of Israel \\cre disUessed 
that day: for Saul had "adjured the people, say-

And they said, Do whatsoever seemeth good 
imto thee. Then said tlie priest, Let us draw neai- 
liither unto God. 

37 And Saul asked counsel of God, Shall I 
go down after the Philistines .'' wilt thou deliver 
them into the liand of Israel ? ^ But he answered 
him not that daj". 

38 And Saul said, '' Draw ye near hither, all 
the t chief of the people : and know and see 
v\herein tliis sin hath been this day. 

o9 For, 'as the Lord liveth, which saveth Is- 
rael, though it be in Jonathan my son, he shall 
surely die. But there was not a man among all 
tlie people that answered him. 

40 Then said he unto all Israel, Be ye on one 
side, and I and Jonathan my son will be on the 
other side. And the people said unto Saul, Do 
w hat seemeth good unto thee. 

41 Therefore Saul said unto *^tlie Lord God 
of Israel, | Give a perfect lot. And Saul and Jo- 
nathan ^^■ere taken : but the people t escaped. 

42 And Saul said. Cast lots betw-een me and 
Jonathan my son. ^ And Jonathan was taken. 

43 Then Saul said to Jonathan, "' Tell me what 
thou hast done. And Jonathan told him, and 
said, I did but " taste a little honey with the end 
of the red that was in mine hand, atjd, lo, I 
must die. 

44 And Saul ariswered, ° God do so and m.ore 
also : for thou shalt p surely die, Jonathan. 

45 And the people said unto Saul, Shall Jo- 
nathan die, w'ho hath wTought this great sal- 
vation in Israel ^. God forbid : '^ as the Lord 
liveth, there shall not one hair of his head fall 
to the ground; for he 'hath wrought with God 
this da}'. So the people rescued Jonathan, that 
he died" not. 

46 Then Saul w-ent up from following the 
Philistines : and the Philistines ^vent to their 
own place. 

4.7 TI So Saul took the kingdom over Israel, 
and fought against ail his enemies on every 
sjde, against Moab, and against the children 
of Amnion, and against Edom, and against 
the kings of Zobah, and against the Philistines : 
and wliithersoe%'er he turned himself, he vexed 
t/icm. 

48 And he |1 gathered an host, *■ and smote the 
Amalekites, and delivered Israel out of the hands 
of them that spoiled them. 

49 Now the ' sons of Saul were Jonathan, and 
Ishui, and Melchi-shua : and the names of his 
two daughters were these; the name of the 
first-born Merab, and the name of the younger 
Michal: 

50 And the name of Saul's wife was Ahino- 
am, the daughter of Ahim<.iaz : and the name 
of the captain of his host was Abner, the son of 
Ner, Saul's uncle. 

5 1 And ' Kish %vas the father of Saul ; and Ner 
the father of Abner was the son of _ Abiel. 

52 And there was sove WcU- against the Philis- 
tines all the days of Saul : and when Saul saw 
any sti'ong man, or any valiant man, " he took 
him unto him -

CHAP. XV. 

1 Samuel sendeth Said to destroy Amaleh. 6 Saul 
favour eth the Kenites : 8 he spareth A gag and 
the best of the spod. 10 Samuel denounce th unto 
Saul, commending and excusing himsef God''j 
rejection of hi?}! for his disobedience. 24> Saul's^ 
JuimiUation. 33 Samuel killeth Agag. 34 Samuel 
and Said part. 

SAMUEL also said unto Saul, "The Lord ^chap-^*.^ 
sent me to anoint thee to be king over his peo- 
ple, OA^er Israel : now therefore hearken thou unto 
the voice of the w^ords of the Lord. 

2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I remember 
that which Amalek did to Israel, ""how^ he laid bExod.

Egypt. ^;,??:,,. 

3 Now go and smite Amalek, and = utterly de- 17,18,19. 
sti'oy all that they have, and spare them not ; but 27^28," 29. 
slay both man and worn, an, infant and suckling, J°^''- '^- 2'- 
ox and sheep, camel and ass. 

4 And Saul gathered the people together, 
and numbered them in Telaim., two hundred 
thousand footmen, and ten thousand men of 
Judah. 

5 And Saul came to a city of Amalek, and 

il laid w^ait in the valley. or^.^ 

6 11 And Saul said unto the '^Kenites, Go, de- /Numb. 
part, get you down from among the Amalekites, 24.21. 
lest I destroy you with them : * for ye shcAved e Numb. 
kindness to all the children of Israel, when 
came up out of Egypt. So the Kenites departed 
from among the Amalekites. 

_ 7 And Saul ' smote the Amalekites from ^ Ha- j^^^'^f- 
vilah until thou comest to ''Shur, that is overgGen.2.u, 
against Egypt. tc^^' 

8 And he took Agag tlte king of the Amalek- 
ites alive, and utterly destroyed ail the people with 
the edge of the sword. 

9 But Saul and the people spared Agag, and 

the best of tlie sheep, and of the oxen, and || off 

the fatlings, and the lambs, and all t/iat was good, "'■'•" 
and w^ould not utterly destroy them : buf eveiy 
thing t/iat %vas vile and refuse, that they desti^oyed 
utterly. 

10 If Then came the word of the Lord unto 
Samuel, sayiiig, 

11 'It repenteth me that I have set up Saul /^'Versess. 
be king : for he is turned back from following me, 

and hath not performed my commandments. 
''And it grieved Samuel; and he cried unto the averse 3s. 
Lord all night. c^ap. i6.i, 

12 And when Samuel rose eaiiy to meet Saul 
in the morning, it w^as told Samuel, saying, Saul 
came to'Cai'meJ, and, behold, he set him upaij.vf/ 
place, and is gone about, and passed on, and gone 
dowai to Gilgal. 

13 And Samuel came to Saul : and Saul said 
unto him, "Blessed be thou of the Lord : I have mcen. 
performed the commandment of the Lord. judges i?.?. 

14 And Samuel said. What meancth then this '^«''^-»»- 
bleating of the sheep in mine ears, and the lowing 

of tlie oxen which I hear ? 

15 And Saul said, They have brought them 

from the Amalekites : " for the people spared the G«>?3."i2.^*

16 Then Samuel said unto Saul, Stay, ° and I 
Mill tell thcc what the Lokd hath said to me this 
niglit. And he said unto him, Say on. 

17 And Samuel siiid, p\\'hen thou ivast little 
in thine own sight, ivcut thou not 7naik the head 
f>r the tribes of Israel, and the Lord anointed 
thee king over Israel ? 

18 And tlie Lord i sent thee on a journey, 
and said, Go, and utterly destroy the sinners the 
Amalekitoe, and fight agtiinst them until t they be 
consimied. 

19 Wherefore then didst thou not obej' the 
voice of the Lord, but didst Hy upon tJie spoil, 
and did.st evil in the sight of the Lord ? 

20 And Saul .s;iid unto Samuel, ^ Yea, I have 
obeyed the \oiec of tlie Lord, and ha\e gone die 
wav which tlx Lord sent me, and ha\e brought 
Agag the king of Amalek, and ha\e utterly de- 
stroved the Amalekites. 

21 ' But the people took of tlie spoil, sliccp, and 
oxen, the ehief of the things which should have 
been utterly destro\ed, to sacrifice unto the Lor d 
thv God in Gilgal. 

22 And Samuel said, *Hatli the Lord as p; real 
delight in burnt-oficrings and sacrifices, as in 
olxying tlie voice of the Lord"? Behold, "to 
obey is better tlian saci'ifice, and to hearken than 
tlie'fat oframs. 

23 For rebellion is as die sin of t witchcraft, 
and stubbornness is as iniciuitj' and idolatn*. Be- 
cause thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, 
lie hath also =' rejected thee from being king. 

24 If And Saul said unto Samuel, '' I have sin- 
ned : for 1 have tiansgressed the commandment 

aE.od. of die Lord, suid thy words; because I Mciued 

^o^.w.is. llie people, :uk1 obeyed their voice. 

5^'-^5; ,3 25 No>% therefore, 1 pray thee, piudon my sm,

26 And Samuel said unto Saul, I w ill not rc- 
iiini with thee: ''for thou hast rejected the word 
«if die Lord, and die Lord hath rejected thee 
from being king o\er Israel 

27 And as Samuel turned about to go awav, 
lie laid hold uixjn die skirt of his mantle, and it 
rtnt. 

28 And Samuel said unto iiim, "^ The Lord 
hath rent the kingdom of Israel liom thee this 
day, and hath given it to a neighbour of diine, 
t/iiit is better dian thou. 

29 And also the || Strength of Israel will not lie 
nor repent: ''for he is not a man, dr.it he should

30 Then he s;iid, I have .sinned: i/ri 'honour

Saul worshipped the Lor d.

the Spirit of tj^ie Lord came upon David fi'om 
that day forwaixl. So Samuel rose up and went 
to Ramah. 

14 H But ''the Spirit of the Lord departed 
from Saul, and 'Um evil spirit from the Lord 
II troubled him. 

15 And Saul's servants said unto him, Behold 
novr, an e\-ii spirit from God troubleth thee. 

16 l.iet our lord now command thy servants, 
^'\vhich are beibre thee, to seek out a man who is 
a cunning player on an htup : and it shall come to 
pass, when tlte e^dl spirit from God is upon tliee, 
that he shall pla>" vA^h his hand, ^ and thou shalt 
be well. 

17 And Saul said unto his servants, ProAade 
me now a man that can play well, and bring him 
to me. 

18 Then ans^vered one of the sen-ants, and 
said, Behold, I ha\e seen a son of Jesse the 13eth- 
lehemite, that is cunning in playing, "^ and a mighty 
valiant man, and a man of wkxi:, and prudent in 
II matters, and a comely person, *imd the Lord 
is with him. 

19 ^ Wherefore Saul sent messengei's unto 
.Jesse, and said, Send me David thy son, ^ which 
is with the sheep. 

20 And Jesse took an ass ladcfi with bread, and 
a bottle of wine, and a kid, and sent them by Da- 
vid his son unto Saul. 

21 And David came to Saul, and ^ stood before 
him: and he loved hirn greatly; and he became 
his amiour-bearer. 

22 And Saul sent to Jesse, saying, Let Da-vid, 
I praj^ thee, stand before me ; for lie hath found 
favour in my siglit. 

23 And it came to pass, when the. f-7;i/ ^spirit 
from God was upon Saul, that David took an

CHAP. XVII. 

I The armies of tne Israelites and Philistines being 
ready to battle, 4 Goliath cometh proudly fortli to 
challenge a combut. 12 David sent by his father 
to visit his brethren, taketh the challenge. 28 
Eliab chideth him : 30 he is brought to Sard: 32 
hi' sheweth the reason of his confidence. 38 With- 
out armour, armed, by faith, he slayeth t/w giant. 
55 Saul tcdieth notice of David. 

NOW the Philistines ^ gathered together their 
armies to battle, and \^'ere gatliered to- 
gether at ''Shochoh, ^vhich belongeth to Judah, 
and pitched betw^een Shochoh and Azfekah, in

2 And Saul and the men of Israel were 
gathered together, and pitched by the valley of 
Elah, and t set tlie battle in array against the Phi-

3 And the Philistines stood on a mountain on 
the one side, and Israel stood on a mountain on the

10 And the Philistine said, ^ I defy the armies h verse 26. 
of Israel this day; give me a man, that we may l^^; 
fight together. 

1 1 When Saul and all Israel heard those words 
of the Philistine, they were dismayed, and greatly 
afraid. 

12 11 Now David was 'the son of that '^Ephra- jf^P-'«-

16 And the Philistine drew near morning and

34 iVnd David said unto Saul, Thy servant

earnestly asked leave of me, that he might run to 
•^ Beth-lehem his citj' : for t/iere is a yeai-ly i| sacri- 
fice there for all the family. 

7 If he say thus, It is well ; thj' ser\-ant shall 
have peace : but if he be verj- wToth, then be siu^e 
tliat ^ evil is determined by him. 

8 Therefore tliou shalt deal kindly with thy 
senant; for 'thou hast brought thy sen ant hito 
a covenant of the Lord with thee: not\^^th- 
standing, ^ if there be in me iniquity', slay me | 
thyself; for why shouldest thou bring me to thy j 
father ? | 

9 And Jonathan said, Far be it from thee : for | 
if I knew certainly that evil were determined by i 
my father to come upon thee, then *" would not I j 
tell it thee ? ^ | 

10 Then said David to Jonathan, Who shall 
tell me 1 or Avhat ij' thy father answer thee 
roughly ? 

11 ^ And Jonathan said unto David, Come, 
and let us go out into the field. ' And they went 
out both of them into the field. 

12 And Jonathan said unto David, O Lord 
God of Israel, when I haAC f sounded my father 
about to-morrow any time, or the third day, and, 
behold, if there be good toward David, and I then 
send not unto thee, and t shew it thee ; 

13 '^ The Lord do so and much more to Jona-

then I will shew it thee, and send thee aA\-ay, 
that thou mayest go in peace : and the ^ Lord be

die not :

from my house for CAcr: no, not when the Lord 
hath cut off the enemies of Da\ id every one from

16 So Jonathan fniade a covenant with the 
house of David, saying. Let the Lord even re-

for the Lord hath sent thee away. 

23 And as touching the ° matter Avhich thou and 
I have spoken of, behold, the Lord be between 
thee and me for ca er. 

24 If So DaA-id Phid himself in the field; ^ajicl p^^--'- 
Avhen the new moon was come, the king sat hnn 
down to eat meat. 

25 And the king sat upon his seat, as at other 
times, even upon a seat bj" the A\-all : and Jonatkm 
arose, and Abner sat by Saul's side, and David's 
place Avas empty. 

26 Nevertheless Saul spake not any thing tliat 
day: for he thought, Somethiiig hath befallen 
him, "3 he is not clean ; surely he is not clean. 

27 And it came to pass on the mon'OAV, luhich 
ivas the secoiid clay of the month, tliat David's 
place Avas empt>' : and Saul said unto Jonathan 
his son, Wherefore cometh not tlie son of Jesse 
to meat, ncitlier yesterday, nor to-day ? 

28 And Jonathan answered Saul, ^ David ear- ^verses. 
nestly asked iea'oe of me to go to Beth-lehem : 

29 And he said. Let me go, I pray thee ; for 
our family h.atli ' a sacrifice in the citv'- ; and my 
brotlier he hath comm.anded me to be there : and 
noAv, if I haA-e found favour in thine eyes, let me 
get aAvay, I pray thee, and *see my brethren. 
Therefore he cometii not unto the king's table. 

30 I'hen Saul's anger Avas kindled against Jo- 
nathan, and he said unto him, i! t Thou son of |, o^-^^^^^' 
the perverse rebellious wo77m/i, do not I knoA\^ rtt'^i. 
tliat tiiou hast chosen the son of 
OA\"n confusion, tmd luito the confusion

31 For as long as the son of Jesse liA-eth upon 
the ground, thou shalt not be established, nor tj-.y 
kingdom. Wherefore noAV send and fetch him 
mito me, for he t shall surely die. 

32 And Jonathan answered Saul his father, 
and said uiito him, "^ \\'herefore skill he be skiin V 
Avhat hath he done ? 

33 And Saul "cast a jaAclin at him to smite 
hini: Avhereby Jonathan kne\v that it 
temiined of his father to sia.v DaA-id. 

34 So Jonatlian arose fi^om the table in fierce 
anger, and did eat no meat the second day of the 
month: for he was giicA-ed for David, because 
his father had done him shame. 

35 1[ Aiid it came to pass in the morning, 
that Jonathan AACnt out into tlie field at the

himself mad. 

flLN came Da^•id to Nob to *Ahimelech 
the priest: and Ahimelcch was ''afraid at 
the meeting of David, and said imto him, Whj- 
art thou alone, and no man with thee '? 

2 And Da\ id said unto Ahimelech the priest, 
The king hath commanded me a business, and 
hath said unto me, Let no man know any thing 
of the business whereabout I send thee, and what 
I ha\'e comm;uided thee : and I ha\'e appointed 
' mij servants to such and such a place. 

3 Now therefore what is under thine hand? 
gi\"e 7nc fi\e loaves of bread in mine hand, or 
w hat there is f present. 

4 And the priest answered David, and .said. 
There is no common bread under mine hand, 
but there is ''hallo\\ed bread; " if the young men 
ha\e kept them.sehes at least from women. 

5 And Da\id answered the piiest, and .said 
unto him, Of a Uuth women have been kept 
from us about these three da\s, since I came 
out, and the vessels of the young men iue hoh', 
and the bread is in a manner common, || yea, 
tliotigh it were sanctified this day in the vessel. 

6 So the priest ga\e him ^hallowed bread: for 
there was no bread there but the shc^\•-brcad, 
that was taken ^fiom before the Lord, to put 
hot bread in the day w hen it \\ as taken away. 

7 Now a certain man of the senants of Saul 
was there that day, detained before the Loud; 
and his name was '' D(x;g, an Kdomite, the 
chiefest of the herdmcn Unit belonged \o Saul. 

8 H And Da\id siiid unto Ahimelech, And is 
there not here under thine hand speiir or sword"? 
for 1 have neither brought my s\\ord nor my 
weapons w ith me, because the king's business 
requircfl haste. 

9 And the i)ricst said. The sw ord of Goliath

of F.lah, behold, it is ' here wrapped in a cloth be- 
hind the ei)hod: if thou wilt take that, take it: 
for thtrt is no other save that here. And David 
said, There is none like that; give it mc.

of Saul, and went to ^ .\ehish the king of Galh. 

1 1 And the servants oi Aehish .s;iid unto him,

not bing one to another of him in dances, saying,

them, and feigned himself mad in their hands, *'-^- 
and II scrabbled on the doors of the gate, and let "tie.''^'

10 And he ^enquired of the Lord for him, 
and ^Ciy(t him ^-^'ictuals, and ga^'e him the sword 
of GoHiith the Philistine. 

11 Then the king sent to call Ahimelech the 
priest, tlie son of Ahitub, and all his father's 
house, tlie priests tliat were in Nob: and they 
came all of them to the king. 

12 And Saul said, Hear now^ thou son of Alii- 
tub. And he answered, f Here I a7n, ys\\ lord. 

13 And Saul said unto him, Why have ye 
conspired against me, thou and the son of Jesse, 
^ in that thou hast given him bread, and a sword, 
and hast enquired of God for him, that he should 
rise against me, to lie in wait, as at this day ? 

14 Then Ahimelech answered the king, and 
said, And who is so faithful among all thy ser- 
vants as David, ' which is the king's son-in-law, 
and goeth at thy bidding, and is honourable in 
thine house ? ' 

15 Did I then begin to enquire of God for 
him? be it far from nie : let not the king im- 
pute any thing unto his servant, nor to all the 
house of my fadier : for thy servant knew no- 
thing of ^ all this,_ t less or more. 

16 And the king said, Thou~shalt surely die, 
Ahimelech, thou, and all thy father's house. 

17 "[[And the king said unto the ||t footmen 
that stood about him, Turn, and slay the priests 
of the Lord; because their hand also is with 
David, and because they knew when he fled, 
and did not shew it to me. ' But the servants of 
the king would not put foilh their hand to fall 
upon the priests of the Lord. 

18 And the king said to Doeg, Turn thou, and 
fall upon the priests. And Doeg the Edomite 
turned, and he fell upon the priests, and slew- 
on that clay fourscore and five persons that did 
wear a linen ™ ephod. 

19 And "Neb, the city of the priests, smote 
he with the edge of the s\vord, both men and 
women, children and sucklings, and oxen, and 
asses., and sheep, with the edge of the sword. 

20 K And one of the sons of Ahim.elech the 
son of Ahitub, named Abiathar, escaped, ° and 
fled after David. 

21 And Abiathar shewed David that Saul had 
slain the Lord's priests. 

22 And David said unto Abiathar, I knew it 
that day, when Doeg the Edomite luas p there, 
that he m ould siu-ely tell Saul : I have occasioned 
the death of all the persons of thy father's house. 

23 Abide thou with me, fear not : "J for he that 
seeketh my life seeketh thy life: but with me

And tlie Lord answered him, tuid said. Arise, go

5 So Da^-id and "his men went to Keilah, and 
fought with the Philistines, and brought away 
their cattle, and smote them <= with a great slaugh- ^chap.

Samuel's death. Nabal's churlishness, CHAP 

22 And DaAid sware unto Saul. Aad Saul 

\vent home ; but David and his men gat them 

up unto the ^ hold. 

CHAP. XXV. 

1 Samuel diet h. 2 David in Par an sendeth toNa- 
bal. 10 Provoked by Nabal's churlishness., he 
mindcth to destroy him. lA Abigail understand- 
ing thereof, 18 taketh a present, 23 atid by her 
■ivisdom, 32 pacijieth David. 3^ Nabal hearing 
thereof, dieth. 39 David taketh Abigail and Ahi- 
noam to be his wives. 44 Michal is given to 
Phalti. 

AND *Samuel died ; and all the Israelites Avere 
gathered together, and '° lamented him, and 
buried him in his house at RamEili. And DaA"id 
arose, audwentdoAMitothe = A\-ilderness of Paian. 

2 And there was a man in Maon, whose || pos- 
sessions were m Carmel ; and the man was Aery 
great, and he had thi-ee thousand sheep, and a 
thousand goats : and he A\as shearing his sheep 
in* Carmel. 

3 Now the name of tlie man was Nabal ; and 
the name of his wife Abigail: ^and she was a 
woman of good understanding, and of a beautiful 
countenance : but tlie man ^tv^j- ^ churlish and e^'il 
in his doings ; and he was of the house of Caleb. 

4 ^ And David heard in the A\"ilderness that 
Nabal «did sheai- his sheep. 

5 And David sent out ten young men, and 
DaA"id said unto tlie young men, Get you up to 
Carmel, and go to Nabal, and t gi'eet Iiim in 
m\' name : 

6 And thus shall ye say to him tliat li\-eth in 
prosperity ,^Y<.2s:& be\)OVc\ to thee, and peace be to 
thine house, and peace be unto all that thou hast. 

7 And now I he.-ve heai'd that thou hast 
shearers: now thy shepherds Avhich were with 
us, we t hurt them not, ' neither was there 
aught missing unto them, all the wliile they 
were in Cai-mel. 

8 Ask thy young men, and they will shew thee. 
Wherefore let the young men find favour in thine 
eyes : for we come ^ in a good day : give, I pray 
thee, whatsocA-er come.h to thine hand unto thy 
servants, and to thy son Da\"id. 

9 And A-siien DaA'id's young men came, they 
spake to Nabal according to all those words in 
the name of Da^id, and t ceased. 

10 II And Nabal answered David's sei'v^ants, 
and said, ^ Who is David ? and who is the son of 
Jesse? there be many servants ,iov,--a-days diat 
break away every man fj'om his master. 

11 Shall I then ™ take my bread, and my water, 
and my t flesh that I ha\-e killed for my sheai-ers, 
and giA'C It unto men, \\hom I know not whence 
ibi<iY be? 

12 So David's young men turned their way, 
and went again, and came and told him all 
those sayings. 

13 And David said unto his men, "Gird ye 
on e^-eiy mim his SM'ord. And they girded on 
everj' man his sword ; and DaA'id also girded on 
his SA\'ord : and there \vent up after Da-\'id about 
four hundred men ; and two hundred abode by 
° the stuff. 



XXV. and' Abigail's wisdom. 237 

14 H But one of the young men told Abigail, christ 
Nabal's wife, saying, Behold, David sent mes- ^^ l' ^"^ 
sengers out of the wilderness to salute our master ; 
and he i- railed on them. Xfmi]^, 

15 But the men were very good unto us, and 
we were not fhurt, p neither missed we anything, J,^^',^";-^ 
as long as Ave AAere conversant v.ith them, A^iien p verse? 
we -were in the fields : 

16 They Avere a ■* Avail unto us both by night \l^^- 
and day, all tlie A\iiile Ave AA'ere Avidi tliem keep- Jo*" i- 'o- 
ing die sheep. 

17 NoAv therefore, know and consider AA-hat^ 
thou Avilt do ; for ' evil is deteraiined against our '-^^' 
master, and against all his household : for he is 
such a son of " Belial, that a man caiinot speak X^Xx 
to liim. 

18 11 Then Abigail made haste, and took tAvo 
hundi'ed loaA^es, and tAA-o bottles of Avine, and 
fiA-e sheep ready dressed, and fiAe measures of 
pai'ched corn, and an hundred || clusters of rai- ior,/u«^j, 
sins, and tAA^o hundred cakes of figs, aiid laid them pro"-, is! \t 

(i-2I 14 

on asses. 

19 And she said unto her serA^ants, 'Go on be- Je?!©- ^* 
fore me; behold, I come after you. But she told 
not her husband Nabal. 

20 And it A\-as so, as she rode on the ass, that 
she came doAA-n by the covertof the hill, and, be- 
hold, DaA'id and his men came doAATi against her ; 
and she met them. 

21 NoAA- DaA-id had said, Surely in atuu haA-e 
"" I kept all that iKva fellow hath in the Avilderness, u verse u. 
so that notliing Avas missed of all that pertained 
unto him : and he hath requited * me CAii for prov. J^^s'. 
good. 

22 y So and more also do God unto tlie enemies y Ruth lit. 
of David, if I leaAC of ail that pertain to him 
by the morning light any ^ that pisseth against z i Kings 
tlie AAall ' "• "• 

23 And when Abigail saw DaAid, she hasted, * '^'"s^ ^- «■ 
and lighted off the ass, and fell before David on 
her face, and boAA-ed herself to the ground, 

24 And fell at his feet, and said. Upon me, my 
lord, uppn me let this iniquity be : and let tliine 
handmaid, I pray thee, sp-eak in thine t audience, tHeb..«n, 
and heai- the Avords of thine handmaid. 

25 Let not my lord, I praA* diee, f regard this ^^fuhearf. 
man of Belial, even Nabal: for as liis name is, so 
is he ; Nabal is his name, and folly is Avith him : 
but I tliine handmaid saA\- not the young men of 
my lord, AAiiom thou didst send. 

26 NoAv therefore, my lord, ^as the Lokd » 2 King, 
hveth, and as thy soul liveth, seeing the Lord ^''^' 
hath •> AA-ithholden thee from coming to shed blood, b verse 33. 
andfi-om t aA'cnging thyself Avith thine own hand, tHeb. 
noAv let ''thine enemies, and they that seek evil to "//"^ '*'' 
my lord, be as Nabal. c 2Saiii. 



27 And noAv this i| blessing AAhich thine hand- "o^ .^.

be giA-en unto tlie young men that t follo'sv my tHeb^^w*

28 I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine d 25^.7

29 Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to 
seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be 
bound in tiie bundle of life \\\\\\ the Loitn thy 
God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall 
he shutout, \ as out of the middle oi'a slinij. 

30 -And it .shall eonie to pass, \\hen thel^oRD

good that he hath spoken eonceniing thee, and 
shall ha\e appointed thee ruler o\'er Israel; 

31 That this shall Ix; fno grief unto thee, nor 
offence of heart unto my lord, either that thou 
hast shed blood causeless, or that my lord hath 
avenged himself: but when tliC Louu shall ha\e 
dealt well w ith my lord, « dien remember tliine 
hundmaid. 

32 TI And David said to Abigail, '^ Blessed be 
tlie Lord God of Israel, which sent tiiee this day 
to meet me : 

33 And Ijlessed be thy ad\'icc, and blessed be 
thou, ' w hich hast kept me this day from coming 
to s/ied l)l(X)d, and from aAcnging myself a\ ith 
mine oun hand. 

34 For in \cr>- deed, as the Lord God of 
Israel li\ eth, which hath kept me back from hurt- 
ing thee, except thou had.st hasted and come to 
meet me, sureh' thei'e had not been left unto Na- 
l)al by the moniirig light any th:it '' pisseth against 
ine wall. 

' 35 So Da\id recei\ed of her hand that which 
she had brought him, and s;iid unto her, 'Go up 
in peace to thine house ; see, I have hearkened to 
tliy voice, and ha\ e "" accepted thy person. 

36 T[ .\nd .Abigail came to NalnJ; and, behold, 
"he held a feast in his Ikhisc, like the feast of a 
king; and Nabal's heart was meny within him, 
for he V.H1S \-er\- dn.inken : w here fore she told him 
nf)thing, less or more, until the morning light. 

37 But it came to pass in the moniing, w hen 
the w ine was gone out of Xabal, and his w ife had 
told him these things, that his heart died \\ithin 
him, and he became as a stone. 

38 And it came to pass about ten days ^{//^r, 
that the Loud smote Nabal, that he died. 

39 H And when David heard that Nabal was 
dead, he said, "Blessed /v the Lord, that ha(h 
p l^leaded tlie cause of my rej-ynxich from the hand 
of Nabal, "^and hath kept his servant from evil: 
f(^r the I.,onn ''hath rctimied the wickedness of

communed w ith Abigail, to take her to him to

40 .And when tlie sei-\ants of DaMd were come

1 Sattl bif the discovery of the Zijjhites, comet h to ^ '"• "• ^ 
Haclnlah against Jbavid. 5 David coming into 
the trench, stayeth Abishai from killing SauK 
but taketh his spear and erase. 13 David re- 
proveth Abner, 18 and exhorteth Saul. 21 Saul 
acktioivledgeth his sin. 

AND the Ziphites came unto Saul to Gibeah, 
saying, * Doth not Da^ id hide himself in m^S!' 
the hill of Hachilah, ivhich is belore Jeshimon ? ''^" ''■■ 

2 Then Saul arose, and A\t'nt down to the 
wilderness of Ziph, having three thousand cho- 
sen men of Israel with him, ''to seek David in u?S-^**' 
the wilderness of Ziph. 

3 And Saul pitched in the hill of Hachilah, 
which is before Jeshimon, by the way. But 
Da\ id abode in the wilderness, and he sa^v that 
Saul came after him into die w ildeniess. 

4 Da\'id therefore sent out spies, and under- 
stood that Saul was come in \en,' deed. 

5 1i And DaA'id aro.se, and came to the i)lace 
w here Saul had pitched : afid David beheld the 
olace where Saul lay, and *= Abner the son of «a^ iV.'Jj. 
Ner, the captain of his host: and Saul lay in 
the !l trench, arid the people pitched roimd about )^'i,^hi, 
him. 

6 Then answered David and said toAliimelceh 
the Hittite, and to Abishai the ^son of Zeruiah, 
brother to Joab, Siiying, " WMio will go down \ i 
me to Saul to 'he camp? .And Abishai said, I 
will go dow n w iih thee. 

7 Sp Da\ id arid Abishai came to the people 
bj'niglit: ;uid, beliold, Saul lay sleeping wihin 
the tiench, and his spear stuck in die gi'ound at 
his bolster: but Abner and the jxople lay round 
about him. 

8 Then said Abishai to David, God hadi t de- 1^^%, 
livered thine enemy into thine haid this day: °>ap«*-« 
now therefore let me smite him, I i^iay (liee, w ith 
the sjjear, even to the earUi at once, :md I w ill 
not smite him the second time. 

9 And David said to Abishai, ^ Destroy him L^?; 
not: for who can stretch forth his hand against *'*""'•'* 
the Lord's anointed, and be guiltless.' 

10 David Sciid furthermore. As the Lord 
li^eth, the Lor]) shaJl 8.-,mite him ;* or his ''day gf^- 
shall come to die; or he shall descend into bat- hG«i. 
tie, ' and perish. *^*'p_, 

11 The Lord forbid that I ^should stretch kcinri. 
forth mine hand against the L^^rd's anointed: *''' 
but, I pray thee, take thou now the spear diat

iVbner the son of Ner, saying, Answerest thou 
not, Abner? Then Abner ansv.-ered and said, 
^Vho art thou that criest to the king '? 

15 And David said to Abner, Art not thou a 
valiant man ? and who is like to thee in Israel ? 
wherefore then hast thou not kept thy lord the 
king ? ^^ for there came one of the people in to 
destroy the king thy lord. 

16 This thing is not good that thou hast 
dpne. As the Lord liveth, ye ^rt? f worthy to 
die,4Decause ye have not kept your master, the 
Lord's anointed. And now see where the king's 
spear is, and the cruse of water that ivas at his 
bolster. 

17 And Saul knew David's voice, and said, 
" Is this thy voice, my son David ? And David 
said. It is my voice, Yny lord, O king. 

18 And he said, °Wherefoie doth my lord 
thus pirrsue after his servant? for what ha'^^e I 
done ? or what evil is in mine hand ? 

19 _Now therefore, I pray thee, let my lord 
the king hear the words oi his servant. If the 
Lord have stin-ed thee up against me, let him 
t accept an oifei-ing : but if they be the children 
of men, cursed be they before the Lord; for 
they have dri\'en me out this day from f abiding 
in the •" inheritance of the Lord, saying, Go, serve 
other gods. 

20 Now therefore, let not my blood fall to the 
earth before the face of the Lord : for the king 
of Israel is come out to seek a ^ flea, as whtxx one 
doth hunt a partiidge in the mountains. 

21 TI Then said Saul, "■ I have sinned: retuni, 
my son David : for I ^vill no more do thee harm, 
because my soul was ^ precious in thine eyes this 
day: behold, I have played the fool, and have 
erred exceedingly. 

_ 22 And David answered and said. Behold the 
king's spear ! and let one of the j'oung m.en come 
over and fetch it. 

23 The Lord 'render to every man his righ- 
teousness and his faithfulness: for the Lord 
delivered thee into mij hand to-day, but I would 
not stretch forth mine hand against the Lord's 
anointed. 

24 And, behold, as thy life was much set by 
this day in mine eyes, so let my life be much set 
by in the eyes of the Lord, and let him^deliver 
me out of all tribulation. 

25 Then Saul said to Da^id, Blessed be thou, 
my son David: thou shalt both do_ great things., 
aiid also shalt still "" pre^'aii. So David went on his 
\\ iu% and Saul returned to his place.

there is nothing better for me than that I should

5 And \\hen Saul saw the host of tlic Phl- 
li.stincs, *^lie A\as afraid, and his heart greatly 
trembled. 

6 And when Saul enquired of the Lord, the 
Lord ^ answered him not, neither by'*di-eams, 
nor by ' Urim, nor by prophets. 

7 ^Then said Saul unto liis Servants, Seek 
me a woman that hath a familiar spirit, that I 
may go to her, and enquire of her. And his ser- 
vants said to him. Behold, there is a woman tliat 
hath a familiar spirit at En-dor. 

8 And Saul disguised himself, and put on 
othei: raiment, and he went, and two men with 
him, and they came to the womim by night : and 
he said, I pray thee, ^divine unto me by the 
familial' .spirit, and bring me /lim up, whom I 
shall name unto thee. 

9 And tlie woman said imto him, Behold, 
thou knowe.st what Saul hath done, 'how he 
hath cut oft' those that have familiar spirits, 
and the wizards, out of the land : wherefore 
then layest thou a snare for my life, to cause 
me to (lie '? 

10 And Saul sware to her by the Lord, 
saying, "*//.? the Lord liveth, there shall no i 
P'niishment happen to thee for this thing. 

11 Then said the woman, Whom shall I 
Iji-iug up unto thee? And he said, Bring me up 
Samuel. 

12 And when the woman saw Samuel, she 
cried with a loud \'f)ice : and tlie v oman spake 
to Saul, saying, Why hast thou deceived me? 
for thou art Saul. 

13 Anti tlie king said unto her. Be not afraid : 
for what sawest thiou ? And the w oman said unto 
Saul, I saw "gods ascending out of the eaith. 

14 And he .si\id unto her, f What form is he 
of? And she said. An old man cometh up ; and 
he is covered with a "mantle. And Saul per- 
cei\ed that it -ivas Samuel, and he stooped with 
/lis face to the ground, and bowed himself. 

15 ^ -And Samuel said to Saul, ^^'hy hast 
thou diicjuieted me, to luring me up? .\nd Saul 

•»','«) 13. answered, ^ I am sore disliessed; f(ir the Phi-

j.^^ piirted from me, and answereth me no more,

'4^.t'""' I have called thee, that tiiou mayest make

16 Then said Sanuiel, Wherefore then dost 
thou ask of me, seeing the Lord is departed 
from thee, ''and is ix-come thine enemy? 

17 And the Lord hath done il to him, 'as

20 Then Saul f fell straight\\ay all along on cHR°?r 
the eaith, and was 'sore afraid, because of the t,' ^'°^, 
words of Samuel : and there A\as no strengdi in ^^^ 
him ; for he had eaten no bread all the day, nor all "^^i'h"' 
the night. ' '^*iththe 

21 II And the woman came unto San!, and .saw ■«i"f/.i('i^f. 
that he was sorc trouljled, and said unto him. Be- » ver.es.

" I have put my life in my hand, and ha\'e hearken- y",''^"

22 Now therefore, I pray thee, hearken diou ^"^ "' '* 
also unto the voice of diine handmaid, and let me 
set a morsel of bread before thee ; and eat, * diat * ^'='^«*' 
thou mayest have strength, when tliou goest on 
thy way. 

23 But he refused, and said, I will not eat. 
But his ser\ants, together wirh the woman, com- 
pelled him ; arid he h-jarkened unto their voice. 
'' So he arose iiom the e.uth, and sat upon the ^''"* 
bed. 

24 And the woman had a fat calf in die house ; 
and she hasted, and killed it, and took flour, and 
kneaded it, and did bake unlea\ened bread 
thereof: 

25 And she brought it before Saul, and before ^ ^^^ 
* his seiTants ; and they did eat. Then tliey rose'

3 Then siiid tlie princes of the Philistines,

have I done? and ^hat hast thou found in thy 
sei-A-ant so long as I ha\ e been f ^\'ith thee unto 
tills day, that I may not go fight against the ene- 
mies of my lord the king ? 

9 And Achish answered and saitl to David, I 
kno\\- that thou art good in my sight, ^ as an an- 

fel Of God : notwithstanding "" the princes of the 
*hilistines have said, He shall not go up \\ idi us 
to the battle. 

10 \\' herefore now rise up early in the morn- 
ing with thy master's senants that are come ^\■itll 
thee : and as soon as ye be up ecu^ly in the morn- 
ing, arid ha\'e light, depart. 

1 1 So Da'.id and his men rose_ up early to de- 
part in the morning, to return into the land of 
the Philistines. And the PJiilistines ^\ent up to 
"Jezreel. 

CHAP. XXX. 
1 The Amalekites spoil Ziklag. 7 Da'uid asking 
counsel, is encouraged by God to pursue them. 11 
By the means oj a revived Egyptian, he is 
brought to the ene?nies, and recoivereth all the 
spoil. 22 David'' s law to divide the spoil ecpinlly 
betvjeen them that fight, and them that keep the 
stuff: 26 he sendeth presents to his friends. 

AND it came to pass, when David and his men 
were come to Ziklag on the third day, that 
the 'Amalekites had invaded the south, and Zik- 
lag, and smitten ^ Ziklag, and bumed it with fire ; 

2 And had taken the women capti's es, that voere 
therein : they slew not any, eitlier great or small, 
but cairied them away, and went on tlieir A\"ay. 

3 "^ So David and his men came to the city, 
aiid, behold, it ivas burned with fire : and their 
wives, and their sons, and theii* daughtere, were 
taken captives. 

4 Then David and the people tliat ivere witli 
him lifted up their voice and wept, until they had 
no more power to weep. 

5 And David's ""two wives were taken cap- 
tives, Ahinoam the Jezreelitess, and Abigail the 
wife of Nabal the Carmelite. 

6 And David was greatly disti'essed; for the 
people spake of stoning him, because the soul of 
all the people ^vas f grie\-ed, e^-ery man for his 
sons arid for his daughters : _ ^ but DaA'id encou- 
raged himself in the Lord his God. ^ 

7 And Da\id said to Abiathar the priest, 
AhimelcQh's son, I pray thee, '^ bring me hither 
the ephod. And Abiathai- brought thither the 
ephod to DaA'id. 

8 And David ^"enquired at die Lord, saying, 
Shall I pursue after this ti'oop? shall I overtalvC 
them ? iind he answered him. Pursue : for thou 
shalt surelj- o^-ertake them, and A\"ithout fail re- 
cover all. 

9 So David went, he and the six hundred 
men that ivere with him, and came to the 
brook Besor, where those that were left behind 
stayed. 

10 But David pursued, he and four hundred 
men : ^ for t^AO hundred abode behind, which 
were so faint that they could not go over the 
brook Besor.

and brought him to David, and gave him bread 
and he did eat : and they made him. drin.k Avater, 

12 And they gave hirn a piece of a calce of figs 

and two clusters of raisins : ^ and Avhen he had i5!"i9f' 
eaten, his spirit came again to him ;.- for he had ^J"|j, 
eaten no bretid, nor drunk any water, three days 
and three nights. 

13 x\nd DaA id said unto him, To whom be-

agone I fell sick. 

14 We made an im-asion tipon tlie south of ' the l^^^'"'

unto me by God, that thou wilt neither kill me, 

nor deliver m_e into tlie hands of my master, and 
I A^'ill bring thee do^ni to this company. 

16 If And when he bad brcight lam dov.n, b.c-

' eating and drinking, and dancing, because of all 
the gi-eat spoil tJiat they had taken out of tb.e land 
of the Philistines, and out of the land of Jiidah. 

^17 And Da\id smote them from the tA^ilight 
e^-en unto the evening of f the next day : and there .^. 
escaped not a man of tlieni, save four hundred r"i'l ""^'^' 
young men, which rode upon camels, and fied. 

18 And David "'recovered all that the Amale- """^'"^^ ^' 
kites had canied away : " and David rescued his ° '^''"^ •' -- 
two wives. 

19 And there was nothing lacking to them, nei- 
ther small nor great, neither sons nor daughters, 
neither spoil, nor any thing that they had taken to 
them : Da-vid recovered all. 

20 And Da^id took all the flocks and the 
herds, which they drave before those other cattle, 
and said. This is David's spoil. 

21 Tf And David came to the °two hundi^ed ° '^"- ^«- 
men, which A^ere so faint that the>' could not fol- 
low David, AA"hom they had made also to abide at 

die brook Besor: and thej- went forth to meet 
DaA^id, and to meet the people that ivere with 
him : and when David came near to the people, 
p he II saluted them. UfF^ 

22 Then answered all the "wicked men anduor,^' 

1 mer. of Belial, of t those that went with Da'id, H^'if,!!"' 
and said. Because they Avent not with us, Ave w ill '''''■

17 And tlicre was a vci->' sore battle that day , 
and Abncr was beaten, and the men of Israel, 
before the ser\-ants of David. 

18 1[And there were "three sons of Zeruiah 
tJiere, Joab, and Al)ishai, and As.ahel: and Asa- 
hel WHS as W^ht f of foot f as a wild roe. 

19 .And Asalul pursued after Abncr; and in 
goin^ lie turned not to the right hand noi- to the 
left from f following Abner. 

20 Then Abner looked behind him, and said. 
Art thou Asiihel ? And he answered, 1 am. 

21 .And Abner saicWo liim, Turn thee aside to 
th\' rii;ht hand or to thy left, and la\- thee hold on 
one of the } oung men, and take tliee his || ar- 
mour. But Asaliel A\ould not tuni aside from fol- 
lowing of him. 

22 And Abner said again to Asahel, Turn thee 
aside from following me : wherefore should I 
smite thee to the gTOimd? how then should I 
hold up my face to .loab thj' brother ? 

23 Ho\\ beit he refused to turn aside : where- 
fore Abner w itli the hinder end of ° the spear 
smo*e him under the fifth rib, that the spear came 
out behind him ; and he fell down there, and 
died in the same place : and it came to pass, t//at 
as many as came to the place A\here Asahel fell 
down and died, stood still. 

24 '' Joab also and iVbishai pursued after y\b- 
ner : and the sun A\ent dow n A\hen they were 
come to the hM of Ammah, that /ict/i be- 
fore Giah by the way of the wilderness i of 
Gibeon. 

25 li And the children of Benjamin gathered 
themselves togeiher after Abner, and became one 
tr(X)p, and stood on the tO]) of an hill. 

2(3 Then Abner called to Joab, and said. Shall 
the sword dcAour ibr ever? knowest thou not 
tliat it w ill be bitterness in the latter end ? how 
long shall it be then, ere thou loid the people re- 
tuiTi from follow iiig their brethren '? 

27 And Joab stiid. As God liveth, unless thou 
hadst spoken, surely then tin the moming the 
people had || gone up every one from following 
his brothc r. 

28 So Joab bkw a tiumpet, and all the people 
stood still, and pursued afier Israel no more, nei- 
ther fought they any more. 

29 And Abner and his men walked all that 
night through the plain, and passed over Jordan, 
and ^vent through all Bithron, and they came to 
"■ .Mahanaim. 

30 And Joa):) returned fn^m following Abner : 
and when he had gathered all the i>eople together, 
there lacked of Da\id's servants nineteen men 
and ' Asahel. 

31 But the serxan»s of Da\id had smitten e)l 
Benjamin, and of Abner's n^en, su that three 
hundred and threescore mei\ died. 

32 li And they took up Asahel, and buried him 
in the sepulchre' of his lather, which was in iiiih- 
lehcm. And Joab and his incn went iiii night, anei 
thcY Clime to ' Hebnjn at break of day.

7 And Saul had a concubine, A\hose name was

saiel to Abner, *^ Wherefore hast thou gone in un- 
to my father's concubine?

Abner unto him, Go, return. And he returned. 

17 1[ And Abner had communication with the 
eider.s of Israel, saying. Ye sought for Da^■id f in 
times past to be king o'«'er you : 

IS Now then do zV.-"ifor the Lord hath 
.spoken of Da\id, saying, By the haiid of my 
ber\a.ut Da\id I ■will sa^-e my people Israel out 
of the hand of the Philistines, and out of tlie 
hand of all their enemies. 

19 And Abner also spake in the eai;s of '' Ben- 
jamin : and Abner went also to speak in the eai's 
of Da\id in Hebron all tliat seemed good to 
isratl, and that seemed good to the ^^ilole house 
of Benjamin, 

20 So Abner came to Da-sid to Hebron, and 
tMen.t3' men A\-ith him. And Da^id made Abner 
and the men that ivere A\ith him a feast. 

21 And Abner said unto David, ''I ^^ill mise 
and go, and m ill gather all Israel unto my lord 
the king, diat they may make a league with 
thee, and that thou may est reign *over all that 
thine heart desireth. And David sent Abner 
away ; and he went in peace. 

22 •[[ And; behold, the " ser\ants of David and 
Joab came from pursiiiJig a ti-oop, and brought 
in a gi-eat spoil ^x\th them : but Abner ivas not 
^\"ith Da\id in Hebron; for he had sent him 
ana}', and he was gone in peace. 

23 When Joab and all the host that was with 
him were come, they told Joab, sajing, Abner 
the son of Ner came to the king, and he hatli 
sent him away, and he is " gone in peace. 

24 Then Joab came to the king, and said, 
AMiat hast tliou done ? behold, Abner came unto 
thee; \\\\y is it that thou hast sent him away, 
and he is quite gone "? 

25 Thou knowest Abner the son of Ner, that 
he came to decei^'e thee, and to know ^thy 
going out and thy coming in, and to know all 
that thou doest. 

26 And v\hen Joab was come out from Da- 
vid, he sent messengers after Abner, which 
brought him agtiin from the Mell of Sirah : but 
Da\ id knew it not. 

27 And when Abner \^'as returned to Hebron, 
Joab *took him aside in the gate to speak with 
liim II quietl}', and smote him* there under the 
fifth rib, that he died, for the blood of '' Asahel 
his brother. 

28 Tf And after waixl when David heard it, he 
said, I and my kingdom are guiltless before the 
Lord for e\'er from die f blood of Abner the 
son of Ner : 

29 Let it rest " on the head of Joab, and on all 
his father's house ; and let there not f fail from 
the house -of Joab one that hath "^an issue, or 
that is a leper, or that leaneth on a staff, or that 
fulleth on the sword, or that lacketh bread. 

30 So Joab and Abishai his brother sle\v Ab- 
ner, because he had slain their brother ^Asalrel 
at Gibeon in tire battle.

3 ,\.nd they t set the ark of God upon a new

that n;oas in \ Gibeah : and Uzzah and Ahio, the 
sons of Abinadab, di-a\e the new cait. 

4 Arid they brought it out of "^ the house of 
Abinadab, \\-hich \vas at Gibeah, f accompanying 
the ark of God: and Ahio went before the ark. 

5 And Da\id and all the liouse of Israel played 
before the Lord on all manner *^of instruments

teries, mid on tirnbi'els, and on comets, arid on

6 1[ And ^ \\\\t\\ they came to Nachon's tiiresh-

7 And the anger of the Lord wbs, kindled 
against Uzzah ; and God ^ smote him there for hh 
II en'or ; aiid there he died by the ark of God. 

8 And Da\'id ^vas displeased, because the 
Lord had t^TTiade a breach upon Uzzah: and 
he called the nam.e of the place ||Perez-uzzahto 
this daj'. 

9 And David was * afraid of the Lord that day, 
and said, How shall the ai'k of the Lord come to 
me? 

10 So David would not remove the iu-k of the 
Lord unto him into the city of David: but Da- 
vid can-ied it aside into the house of ^ Obed-edom 
the Gittite. 

11 And the ai'k of the Lord continued in the 
house of Obed-edom the Gittite ^ three months: 
and the Lord blessed Obed-edom and all his 
household. 

12 "[T And it was told king Da\'id, saying, The 
Lord hath ^blessed the house of Obed-edom, 
and all that pertaineth unto him, because of tlie 
ark of God. ' So David went and brought up the 
ark of God fiom the house of Obed-edom into 
the ci<"y of David with gladiiess. 

13 And it was 6-0, that when they that * bare the 
ark of the Lord had gone six paces, ""he sacri- 
ficed oxen and fatlings. 

14 And David "danced before the Lord A\-ith 
all his might ; and ° David vjas girded with a linen 
ephod. 

15 So David and all the house of Israel brought 
up the ai'k of the Lord with shouting, and with 
the sound of the trumpet. 

16 And as the ai'k of the I.,ord came into the 
city of David, •' Michal Saul's daughter looked 
through a \^"indow, and sa'iv king David leaping 
and dancing before the Lord ; and she despised 
him in her heart. 

17 Ti And they brought in the ai'k of the Lord, 
and set it in his place, in the midst of tiie taber- 
nacle that David had f pitched for it : and David 
offered bunit-offerings and peace-offerings before 
the Lord. 



VI. VII. Michalis childless. 247

offering bumt-offerings and peace-offerings, i he ,^:^^

19 And he ""dealt among all the people, o.i;'/? r i chrm.

ail the people departed even- one to his house. 

20 H Then David returned to * bless his liouse- M^f^''

out to meet David, and said, Hov\^ glorious ^^■as

the people of the Lord, over Israel: therefore

than, the son of Saul, _was come unto David, he 
fell on his face, and did reverence. And David 
said, Mephibosheth. And he answered. Behold 
thy servant ! 

7 H And David said uu'O him, Feai- not : ^for 
I ^\ail /surely shew thee kindness for Jonathan 
thy father's sake, and will restore thee all the 
land of Saul thy father; and thou shalt eat bread 
at my table continually. 

8 And he boAved himself, and said, What is 
thy ser\-ant, that thou shouldtst look upon such 
a ^ dead dog as I am ? 

'■ 9 TI Then the king called to Ziba, Saul's ser- 
■\ant, and said unto him, I ^la^•e given unto thy 
inaster's son ^ all that pertained to Saul, and to 
all his house. 

10 Thou therefore, and thy sons, and th^/ ser- 
vants, shall till the land for him, and thou shalt 
hr'm^ in the fn/its, ihat thy master's son may have 
food to eat : but Mephibosheth thy master's son 
shall 'eat bread al way at my table. "^Now Ziba 
had fifteen sons and twenty servants.

11 Then saitl Ziba imto the king. According 
to all that my lord the king hath commanded his 
sen'^ant, so shall thy servant do. As for Mephi- 
bosheth, said the king, he shall eat at my table, 
as one of the king's sons. 

12 And Mephibosheth had a 'young son, 
whose name was Micah. And all that dwelt 
in the house of Ziba were servants unto Me- 
phibosheth.

1 David^s messengers se?it to comfort Hamin the 
sonof Nahash, are villanously entreated. 6 The 
Ammonites strengthened by the Syrians are over- 
come by Joab and Abishai. 16 Shobach raising 
a new supply of the Syrians at Hclam, is slain 
by David. 

AND it came to pass after this, that the * king 
of the children of Ammon died, and Hanun 
his son reigiied in his stead. 

2 Then said David, I will shew kindness unto 
Hanun the son of Nahash, '' as his father she^ved \ fee 
kindness unto me. And David sent to comfort 
him by the hand of his servants for his father. 
And David's servants came into the land of the 
childi'en of Ammon. 

3 And the princes of the children of Ammon 
said unto Hanun their lord, f Thinkest thoii tha^ 
David doth honour thy father, that he hath sen 
comforters unto thee? hath not David rather 
sent his servants unto thee, to search the city, and 
to spy it out, and to overthrow it ? 

4 Wherefore Hanun took David's servants, 
and shaved off the one half of their beai'ds, and 
cut off their gai-ments in the middle, even to 
■= their buttocks, and sent them away. 

5 When they told it unto David, he sent to 
meet them, because the men were greatly asham- 
ed : and the king said. Tarry at Jericho until your 
beards be grown, and then return. 

6 "il And ^vhen the children of x\mmon sa^v 
that they ■* stank before David, the childcen of 
Ammon sent and hired the Syrians of Beth-re- 
hob, and the ^ Syrians of Zoba, twenty thousand 
footmen, and of king Maacah a thousand men, 
and of ^Ish-tob twelve thousand men. 

7 And when Da\id heard of it, he sent Joab, 
and all the host ^ of the mighty men. 

8 And the children of Ammon came out, and 
put the battle in array at the entering in of the gate : 
and the '^ Syrians of Zoba, and of Rehob, and Ish- 
tob, and Maacah x\3ere by themselves in the field. 

9 When Joab saw that the front of tlie battle 
\vas against him before and behind, he chose of 
all the choice men of Israel, and put t/iem'ia ai-- 
ray against the Sji'ians : 

10 And the rest of the people he delivered into 
the hand of ' Abishai his brother, that he migjit i char 
put them'in m-ray against the children of Ammon. ^•^' 

11 And he said. If the Syrians be too strong 
for me, then thou shalt help me : but if the chil- 
dren of Ammon be too strong for thee, then I 
will come and help thee.

not dow n to his house. 

10 And wlv.il tlicy liad told David, saying, 
^ Uriah wei* not down unto his house, l3a\id 
said unto Uriah, Camest thou not from thy join: 
ney? ^^hy then didst thou not c'j down ur.to

1 1 And Uriah said unto David, ''The ark, and

Nathan's parable of the e-we-lamb. CHAP. 

24 And the shooters shot froni off the wall upon 
thj' servants ; and some of the king's servants be 
dead, and " thy servant Uriah the Hittite is dead 
also. 

25 Then David said nnto the messenger, Thus 
shait thou say unto Joab, Le not this thing 
t displease thee, for the sword de^.oureth tone 
as well as another : make thy battle more stror.g 
against the citj% and overthrow it : and encou- 
rage thou him. 

26 "ii And A\hen the v>ife of Uriah heard that 
Uriah her husband was dead, she mourned for 
her husbaPid. 

27 And ^^■hen the mourning was past, David 
sent, and fetched her to his house, "^ and she be- 
came his wife, and bare him a son. But die thing 
that Da>'id had done t displeased the Lord. 

CHaP. XII. 
1 Nathwi's parable of the ewc-lamb, caiiseth Da- 
vid to be his oivn judge. 7 Da'uid reproved by 
Nathan, confesseth his sin, and is pardoried. 15 
David mourneth and prayeth for the child, 
ivhile it lived. 24 Solomon is born, and named 
Jcdidiah. 26 David taketh Rabbah, and tor- 
tureth the people thereof. 

AND the Lord sent =" Nathan unto David. 
Aiid he cameunto him, and '' said unto him. 
There were two men in one city ; the one rich, 
and the other poor. 

2 The rich num had exceeding many flocks 
and herds : 

3 But the poor man had nothing, save one little 
ewe-lamb, 'which he had bought and nourished 
up : and it gre'\v up together >\ ith him, and with 
his children ; it did eat of his o^vn t meat, and 
di^ank of his own cup, and biy in his bosom, and 
was unto liim as a daughter. 

4 And there came a tra\'eller unto the rich man, 
and he spared to take of his o^ni flock and of his 
o\vn herd, to dress for the Avay-fliring man that ^\■as 
come unto him; but took the poor man's lam_b, 
and dressed it for the man that was come to him. 

5 And David's anger ^^■as greatly kindled 
against the man ; and he said to Nathan, As the 
Lord liveth, the man that hath done this thing 
II shall surely die : 

6 And he shall restore the Iamb ' fourfold, be- 
cause he did this tiling, and because he had no pitj- . 

7 ^ And Nathan said to Da\ id. Thou art the 
'• man. Thus saitli the Lord God of Israel, "^l 

anointed thee king over Israel, and I delivered 
thee out of the hand of Saul ; 

8 And 1 ga^'e tliee thj' master's house, and thy 
master's ^\ ives inio thy bosom, and gave thee the 
house of Israel and of Judali ; and if that had 
been too little, I -would m.oreo\er ha-ve given unto 
thee such and such things. 

9 ^Wherefore hast thou Mespi^ed the command- 
ment of the Lord, to do evii in his sight? ^thou 
hast killed Uriah the Hittite \\ ith the s\\ ord, and 

'• iiast taken his wife to be thy Avife, and hast slain 
him with the sword of the children ol Ammon. 

10 Now therefore the sword shall never depart 
from thine house ; because thou hast despised 
me, and "^ hast taken the wiie of Uriah the Hittite 
to be thy wife. 



XII. 



Solomon is horn. 



iol 



11 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will raise 
up evil against tliee out of thine own house, and 
I will 'take thy Avives before thine eyes, and gi^ve 
them unto thy neighbour, and he shall he with 
ihy wives in the sight of this sun. 

12 For thou didst it secretly : but I will do 
this thing ^ before all Israel, and before ^he sun. 

13 And David said unto Nathan,_^I have sinned 
against the Lord. And Nathan said unto David. 
""The Lord also hath put away thy sin; thov. 
shait not die. 

14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou has. 
given great occasion to the enemies of the Lord 
to " blaspheme, the child also that is born unto 
thee shall surely die. 

15 Tf And Nathan depatted unto his house. 
And the Lord struck the child that Uriah's -\\ife 
bai'e unto David, and it was very sick. 

16 David therefore besought God for the child ; 
and David fasted, and went in, and °lay all nigh' 
upon the earrh. 

17 And the elders of his house arose, andvoent 
to him, to raise hmi up fi-om the earth: but he 
\\ould not, neidier did he eat bread with them. 

18 And it came to pass on the seven:h day, 
that the child died. And the serAants of Da\id 
feared to tell him that the child w as dead : for 
they said. Behold, while the child Avas yei alive, 
we spake unto him, and he would not hearken 
unto our voice : how will he then t vex himself, 
if -we tell him that the child is dead ? 

19 But when David saw that his servants whis- 
pered, David perceived that the child was dead: 
therefore David said unto his servants, Is the 
child dead? And they said. He is dead. 

20 Then David arose from the earth, and 
washed, and p anointed himself and changed his 
apparel, and came into the house of the Lord, 
■* and worshipped :_then he came to his own house; 
and Vv heri he required, they set bread before him, 
and he did eat. 

21 Then said his senants unto him. What 
thing is this that thou hast done ? thou didst 
fast and weep for the child, "cohile it was ali\-e ; 
but ^^hen the child was dead, thou didst rise ancl 
eat bread. 

22 And he said, '" While the child was yet alive, 
I fasted and wept: for I said. Who can tell vjhc- 
ther God will be gracious to me, that the child 
may live '? 

23 But no\v he is dead, wherefore should I 
fast ? can I bring him back again ? I shall go to 
him, ' but he shall not return to m^e. 

24 TjAnd David comforted Bath-sheba Kis wife, 
and went in unto her, and lay with her : ' and she 
bare a son, and " he called iiis name Solomon : 
and the Lord loved him. 

25 And he sent by the hand of Nathan the 
prophet ; and he called his name jl Jedidiah, be- 
cause of the Lord. 

26 Ti'^ And Joub fought against Rabbah of the 
childi-en of Ammon, and took the royd city. 

27 And Joab sent messengers to David, and 
-:aid, I have fought against ^ Rabbali, and have 
taken the city of waters.

from thee. < 

14 Howbeit, he would not liearken unto her 
\oice : but, being stronger thiui she, "forced lier, 
and lay w ith her. 

15 iThen Amnon hated her f exceedingly ; 
so that the hatred wherew idi he hated her was 
greater than the lo\e wherewith he had loved 
her. And Amnon said unto her. Arise, tje gone. 

16 And she said unto him, There is no cause : 
this evil in sending me aw ay is gieater than the 
other that thou didst unto me. But he \\ould 
not hearken unlo her. 

17 Then he ""called his servant that minister- 
ed unto him, and said, Put now this woman out 
from me, and bolt the door after her. 

18 And she had i\ garment of" diverse colours 
upon her: for with such rol)es were the king's 
daughtei^s that %-cere \irgins apparelled. Then 
his servant brought her out, and bolted the door 
after her. 

19 H And Tamar put "ashes on her head, and 
rent her garment of di\erse colours that was on 
her, and laid her ^ hand on her head, iuid w ent 
on crying. 

20 And Absalom her brother said imto lier. 
Hath Amnon thy biother been widi thee ? but 

I hold noAV thy peace, my sister : he is thy bro- 

I ther ; fi't^SiM't^ not this thing. So Tamar remained 

I I desolate in her brother Absalom's hou.se. 

21 HBut when king David heard of all these 
things, he was \ cry \\roth. 

22 And Absalom spake unto his brother 
Amnon 'i neither good nor bad : for .Vbsiilom 
hated Amnon, because he had forced his sister 
Tamar. 

23 1[ And it came to pass after tw o full ycai-s, 
that Alisalom ""had sheep-shearers in Baal-hazor, 
which is beside Ephraim : and Absalom invited 
all the king's sons. 

24 .\nd AI:)salom came to the king, and said, 
Behold now, thy servant hath sheep-she-u-ers ; 
let the king, I beseech thee, and his .servants go 
with th\- ser\ant. 

25 And the king .said to Ab.salom, Nay, my 
son, let us not all now go, lest we be eJiargeablc 
luito thee. And he pressed him : howbeit, he 

I would not go, but blessed him.

and said, As \.\\y soul livclh, u\\ lord the king, 
none can turn to the right hand or to the left 
from aught that my lord the king hath spoken : 
for thy ser\ant Joab, he bade me, °and he put

20 To fetch about this form of speech hath 
thy servant Joiil) done this thing: imd my lord 
/^ wise, P according to tlie \\ibdom of an angel

21 I'And the king said unto Joab, Behold 
no^\-, I liiu e done this thing : go therefore, bring 
the young man Absalom again. 

22 And Joab fell to the ground on his face, and 
bow ed himself, and f thanked the king : and ioab 
said, To-day thysenant know eth that 1 have found 
grace in thy sight, my lord, O king, in that the 
king hath fulfilled the request of |1 his servant. 

23 So Joab arose and Avent to '' Geshur, and 
brought Absalom to Jerusalem. 

24 And the king said. Let him turn to his 
c£'^3?u; o^^n house, ' and let him not see my face. So 

Absalom retuined to his own house, and saw 
not the* king's face. 

25 ^fBut in all Israel there was none to be 
so nuich praised as Absalom for his beautj- : 
"^ from the sole of his foot even to the crown of 
his head there was no blemish in him. 

2G And w hen he polled his head, (for it was 
at evei"3- year's end that he polled //.• because 
i/iv hair was heavy on him, therefore he polled 
it :) h(^ weighed the hair of his head at two him- 
dred shekels after the king's weight. 

27 And unto Absalom there were born 'three

she was a woman of a fair countenance. 

28 II So Absalom dwelt two full years in Jeru-

ND '^ it eanie to pass after this, that Absalom 
'' prepared hini chariots and horses, and fiftj- 
men to iim before him. 

2 And Absalom rose up early, and stood be- 
side the way of the gate : and it was so, that y\hen 
iuiy man that had a contioversy f cume to the 
king for judgment, then Absalom called unto 
hini, and said. Of what city art th.ou ? And he 
said. Thy servant is of one of die tribes of Israel. 

3 And Absalom said inito him, See, thy mat- 
ters are gcxxl and right ; " but |! there is no man 
deputed ol' ihc king to hear thee. 

4 Absalom said moreo\ er, ** Oh that I were 
made judge in the land, that e\ery man which 
hath any suit or cause might come unto me, 
and I would do him justice! 

5 And it was .w, that w hen any man came 
nigh to him to do him obeisance, he put forth 
his hand, and took him, and kissed him. 

6 And on this manner did Absalom to all Is- 
rael that came to die king for judgment: 'so 
Absalom stole the hearts of the men of Israel. 

7 ly And it came to paes ^ after forty years, 
that Abs:ilom said unto the king, I pray thee, 
let me go and pay my \ow which I have vowed 
unto the Lord, in Hebron. 

8 For thy sei-vant ^ vowed a vow while I abode 
at I" Geshur in Syria, saying. If the Lord shall 
bring me again indeed to Jerusalem, then I will 
serve the Lord. 

9 And the king said imto him, Go in peace. 
So he aiose, and went to Hebron. 

10 But Absalom sent spies throughout all tlie 
tribes of Israel, saying, Ah soon as ye hciu" the 
soimd of the trumpet, then ye shall say, Absa- 
lom reigneth in Hebron. 

11 And v.ith Absalom went t\\o hundred 
men out of Jerusalem that ivere 'called; and 
they w ent in their ^ simplicity, and they knew 
not any diing. 

12 And AbsJilom sent for Ahidiophel the Gi- 
lonite, ' David's counsellor, i'rom his city, even 
from^'Giloh, while he offered sacrifices. And 
the conspiracy was strong; for the people " in- 
creased continually with Absalom. 

IS ^ And there came a messenger to David, 
saying, " The hearts of the men of Israel are

14 And David said unto all his servants ihat

and, fWioId, tliou nrt takni in tin}' mischief, 
bccau.se thou art a hlrxxh man. 

9 If Then said Ahi-^luii ih.- son of Zeruiah un- 
to the king, Why should this 'dead dog ''curse 
my lord the king? let me go over, I pray thee, 
luid hike olV his head. 

10 And the king s;iid, 'What have I to do 
with you, ye s(jns of Zeruiah? so let him curee, 
because ""she Lord hath said unto him. Curse 
Da\icl. " Who shall then saj', Wherefore hiist 

■ thou done so ? 

1 1 And David said to Abishai, and to all his 
servants, Behold, my son, which came forth of 
my bowels, sceketh my life: how much more 
no\v may this Benjamite do it? let him alone, and 
let him cur.se; for the Lord hath bidden him. 

12 It may be that the Lord will look on 
mine Utaflliction, and diat the Loud will re- 
quite me gofid for his cursing this day, 

13 And as David and his men went by the 
way, Shimei went along on the hill's side over 
against him, and cursed as he \vent, and tlirew 
stones at him, and feast dust. 

14 And the king, and all the people that i.\)ere 
with him, came Mcaiy, and refreshed themselves 
there. 

15 1[ And "Absalom, and all the people, the 
men of Isiael, came to Jeiiisalem, and Ahitho- 
phel \\ idi him. 

16 And it came to pass, when Hu.shai the Ar- 
chitc, David's friend, Mas come unto Absalom, 
that Hushai said unto Absalom, t God sine the 
king, God save the king. 

17 And .\b.salom said to Hushai, /^ tliis thy 
kindness to thy friend? ^why weutest thou not 
with thy friend? 

\?, .\nd Hushai said unto Absalom, Nay; but 
whom the Lord, and this people, and all the 
men of Israel, choose, his will I be, and with 
him will I abide. 

19 And again, "^ \\ horn should I ser\'e ? should I 
not serxc in the presence of his son? as I have 
served in thy father's presence, so w ill I be in 
thy presence. 

20 II Then said Ab.salom to Ahithophel, Give 
counsel among vou what we shall d<J. 

21 And Ahithophel said unto Absalom, Go in 
unto thy father's ' concubines, which he hath left 
to keep the house; and all Israel shall hear that 
thou art "abhorred of thy fatlier : then shall the 
hands of all that arc with thee be ' strong. 

22 So they spread Absalom a tent upon the top 
of the house; and Absalom went in unto his 
father's concubines* in the sight of all Israel. 

23 And the counsel of Ahithophel, v.iiich he 
com)seH( d in those days, ivas as if a man had

Absalom spake unto him, .saying, Ahithophel

7 Atid Hushai s:jid unto Absalom, The coun-

8 Foi-, said Hushai, thou know est thy fadier 
and his men, that tlicy be might>- men, and they 

be t chafed in their minds, "as a bear robbed of J,';'//'-^

Israel knowetli that thy father is a mighty man,

13 Moreover, if he be gotten into a city, then 
shall all Israel bring ropes lo that city, and we 
v\ ill draw it into the river, until thcie be not

for his son.

is dead in battle. Now therefore why f speak j'^e 
not a ^\^ord of bringing the king back? 

11 "[[And king David sent to ^Zadok and to 
Abiathar the priests, saying, Speak unto the el- 
ders of Judah, saying, Why are ye the last to 
bring the king back to his house ? seeing the 
speech of all Isiael i-s come to the king, even to 
his house. 

12 Ye are my brethren, j-e are ^ my bones and 
my Hcsh : v.herefore then are ye the last to bring 
back the king ? 

13 And say ye to 'iVmasa, Art thou not of my 
bone, and of my flesh ? ^ God do so to me, and 
more also, if thou be not captain of the host be- 
fore me continually in tlie room of Joab. 

14 And lie bo^ved the heart of all the men of 
Judah, even as i/ie heart of ' one man ; so that 
they sent this word unto the king, Return thou, 
ar,d all thy ser\'arits. 

15 So the king returned, and came to Jordan. 
And Judah came to ""Gilgal, to go to meet the 
king, to conduct the king over Jordan. 

16 IF And" Shimeithe son of Gera, a Benjamite, 
Aihich was of Bahurim, hasted and came doMTi 
with the men of Judah to meet king David. 

17 And there were a thousand men of Benja- 
min with him, and " Ziba the servant of the 
house of Saul, and his fifteen sons and his t^venty 
servants Avith him ; and they vvcnt over Jordan 
before the king. 

18 And there went over a feny-boat to cany 
over the king's household, and to do f what he 
tliought good. And Shimei tlie son of Gera fell 
dov'u before the king, as he was come over 
Jordan ; 

19 And said unto the king, Let not my 
lord P impute iniquity unto me, neither do thou 
remember "i that which thy servant did per- 
versely the day that my loixl the king went 
out of Jerusalem, that the king should "^ take it 
to his heart. 

20 For thy servant doth know that I have sin- 
ned : therefore, behold, I am come thejirst this 
day of all Uhe house of Joseph to go down to 
meet my lord the king. 

21 But Abishai the son of Zeruiali answered 
and said. Shall not Shimei be put to death for 
this, because he 'cursed the Lord's anointed? 

22 And David said, "^ What have I to do 
with you, ye sons of Zeruiah, that ye should 
this day be ad\'ersai'ies unto me? * shall there 
any man be put to death this day in Israel ? 
for do not I know that I am this day king 
o^er Israel ? _ 

23 Therefore the king said unto Shimei, ^ Thou 
shalt not die. And the king sware unto him. 

24 •[[ And ^ Mephibosheth the son of Saul came 
do\\n to meet the king, and had neither dressed 
his feet, )ior trimmed his beard, nor washed his 
clothes, fi-om the day the king departed until the 
day he came again in peace. 

25 And it came to pass, when he was come to 
Jerusalem to meet the king, that the king said 
unto him, Wherefore ^ wentest not thou \\ ith me, 
Mephibosheth ?

26 And he answered, My lord, O king, my cm^r 
servant deceived me : for thy ser\'ant said, I will ^.J^^ 
saddle me an ass, that I may ride thereon, and go 
to the king ; because thy servant is lame. 

27 And -^he hath slandered thy ser\-ant unto Je^jf^'

29 And the king said unto him. Why speak - 
est thou any more of thy matters ? I haA e said, 
Thou and ^iba diA'ide the land. 

30 And Mephibosheth said unto the king. Yea, 
let him take all, forasmuch as my lord the king is 
come again in peace unto his oaaii house.

55 lam this day ^ fourscore 5-ears old : ' a?id can hPs. 50. 10, 
I discern between good and ca^I ? can thy servant [^"^.l^'-'^'^' 
taste Avhat I eat or A\"hat I drink ? can I hear any 
more the voice of singing men and singing avo- 
men ? wherefore then should thy servant be yet a 
burden unto my lord the king ? 

36 Thy servant Avill go a little Avay over Jor- 
dan Avith the king : and why should the king re- 
compense it me Avith such a rewai'd ? 

37 Let thy serA-ant, _ I pray thee, turn back 
again, that I ir.ay die in mine own city, and be 
buried by the gi-aAe of my father and of my mo-

Lord "'thundered from heaven, and

15 And \ic sent out "arroMs, and scattered

16 And the channels of the sea appeared, the 
foundations of the w orld were disco\ ered, at the 
rebuking of the Loun, at the blast of the breath 
of his nostrils. 

17 He sent from above, he took me; he drew 
tor, treat, j^^^. q^^ q['\\ niauy watcrs ; 

18 He delivered me from my "strong enemy, 
ami from them that hated me : for they were too 
stiong for me. 

1 9 They prevented me in the day of my ca- 
lamity: but the Lord was my stay. 

20 He brought luc forth also into ''a Ku-ge 
place: he defnered me, because he ''delighted 
m me. 

21 The Lord ''rewai'ded me according to my 
righteousness : according to the cleanness of my 
hands hath he recompensed me. 

22 For I have kept the 'ways of the Lord, 
and have not wickedly departed from my God. 

23 For all his judgments \vere l^eforc me : and 
asfoi- his statutes, I did not depart irom them. 

24 I was also ui)right t before him, and have 
kept mvself from mine jniquity. 

25 Therefore the Lokd hath recompensed me 
according to my righteousness ; according to my 
cleanness t in his eye-sight. 

26 With the nurciful thou Avilt '.shew thy.self

shew thyself upright. 

27 With the pine thou wilt shew thyself 
pure ; and w ith the frow ajd tliou w ilt || shew

28 And the "afllicted people thou wilt save:

sat in the seat, chief among the captains; the

at one time.

\vith David, ^hen diey defied die Philistines 
that were there gathered together to battle, and 
the men of Israel -were gone away : 

10 He ai'ose, and smote the Philistines until 
his hand was wearj-, and his hand clave unto 
the sword : and dre Lord wrought a ' great vic-

only to spoil. 

11 And af,er him ivtis ^ Shammah the son of 
Agee the Hararite. And the Philistines ^\"ere 
gadiered together i| into a ti-oop, where was a 
piece of ground full of lentiles : and the people 
fled from the Philistines. 

12 But he stood in the midst of the ground, 
and defended it. and slew the Philistines : and 
the Lord ^n-ought a ™ great -v'ictoiy. 

13 And. II three of the thirty chief " Avent down, 
and came to Da^■id in the hai-vest time unto the

Mould gi^e me drink of the vrater of the \\ell of

16 And the three mightj- men brake through 
the host of the Philistines, and drew water out 
of the well of Beth-lehem, that vjas by the gate, 
and took ?V, and brought it to David : ne\'eithe-

out unto the Lord. 

17 And he said, Be it fai- from me, O Lord, 
that I should do diis : ^ is not this the blood of 
the men that \A-ent in jeopardy of their li\es '? 
therefoi-e he would not drink it. These things

lifted up his spear against tliree hundred, i' ajjd

Loud thy God ndd unto the jKople, how many 
soe\er tliey be, an hu'.,died-to!d, and that the 
eyes of my lord the king may sttit: but why 
doth w\\ lord the king deiighiin this thing"? 

4 Notwitli.standing the king's ' u ord prevail- 
ed against J(jal) and against the captains of the 
host. And Joab and tlie eaptains of the hosi 
went out from the presence of the king, to 
iiumixr the people of Israel. 

5 *i And ihty passed o\er Jordan, and pitched 
in 'Arocr, on the right side ol" the city that 
lieth in the midst of the || ri\ er of Gad, and 
tow ard Jazer : 

6 Tlien they came to Gilead, and to the || land 
of Tahtim-hodshi ; and the\' came to ^ Dau- 
jaan, and about to ''Zidon, 

7 And caine to the stiong liold of Tjtc, and 
to all the cities of the Hi\ ites, and of the Ca- 
naanites : and they w ent out to the south of 
Judah, even to Reer-sheba. 

8 So w hen they had gone through all the land, 
they came to Jerusalem at the end of nine 
months and tw cnty days. 

9 And Joab ga\ e up the smn of ' the numbei' 
of the i^eople unto tlic king: and there were in 
Isniel eight huntbed thousand valiant men that 
drew the s'.vord ; and the men of Judali ivere 
fl^■e hunched thousand men. 

10 TiAnd David's heait ''smote him after 
that he had numbered the iK'ople. And Da\id 
said unto the Lonn, 
that I ha\ e done : and 

Lord, take away the iniquity of thy sei^ant ; 
"" lor I ha^•e tlone Axry fooli-ihly. 

1 1 For M hen David was up in the morning, 
the word of the Loud came unto the "prophet 
Gad, Da\ id's ° seer, saying, 

12 Go, and say unto David, Thus sailh the 
Lord, I ofler thee three tlibi^s; choose thee 
one of them, that I may do it unto thee. 

13 So Gad came to David, and told him, aixl 
said unto him, ■" Shall .seven years of famine 
come \mto thee in thy land ? or w ilt thou flee 
three months before thine enemies, while they 
pursue thee ? or that there be three days' pes- 
tilence in tliy land '? Now adA ise, and see w hat 
.insA\ er I shall retuni to him that .sent me. 

14 And David said unto Gad, I am in a great 
strait : let us fall now into the iuuid of the Lokd ; 



' I ha\e sinned greatly in 
now, I beseech thee, O 



aftervoards repeiUetii. 
great : and let me *> not fall 



for his mercies arc 
into the hand of man 

15 So the Lord .sent a pestilence upon Israel 
from the morning even to the time appointed : 
imd there died of the people from Dan even to 
Beer-sheba seventy thousand men. 

16 And AN hen the angel stietched out his 
hand ujion Jcru.salem to destroy it, ""the Lord 
repented him of the evil, and said to the angel 
that destroyed the people. It is enough : stay now 
thine hand. 'And the* angel of the Lord was 
by the threshing-place ot /vtiuuuih the Jebusite. 

17 And David sjiake unto tlie Lord when 
he saw the angel that smote the people, and 
said, Lo, I have sinned, and I have done w ick- 
edly : ' but these sheep, a\ hat ha\ e they done '? 
let thine hand, I pray thee, be against me, and 
against my father's house. 

18 1[ And Gad came that day to David, and said 
unto him, "Go up, rear an altiu" mito the Lord 
in the threshing-floor of Araunah the Jebusite. 

19 And David, according to the saying of 
Gad, A\ent up as the Lord commanded. 

20 And Araunah looked, and .saw the king 
and his servants coming on tow ard him : and 
Araunah \\ent out, and bowed himself before 
the king on h.is face upon the ground. 

21 And Araunah said, Whereloie is my lord 
the king come to his servant? "And David 
said. To buy the threshing-floor of thee, to 
build an altar unto the Lord, that the plague 
■"' may be stayed iiom the people. 

22* And Araunah said unto Da\id, Let my 
lord the kir.g take and cjfl'cr up what seemetli 
good unto him : behold, liere be * oxen for burnt- 
sacrifice, and threshing instrumer.ts ai;d other 
instruments of the oxen for wood. 

23 All these things did Arauna]i,^i' a king, 
give imto the king. And Aniimah said unto the 
king. The Lord thy God ^accept thee. 

24 And the king siiid unto Araunah, Nay ; 
but I w ill surely buy it of thee at a price : nei- 
ther will I ofler bunit-ofl'erings imto the Lord 
my God of that w hich dotli cost me nothing. 
So Da\ id =" bought the ihieshing-floor and the 
oxen for fifty shekels of siher. 

25 And David built there an altar unto the 
Lord, and offered bvuTit-ofierings and peace- 
ofterings. So the ''Lord was intre:.ted for the 
land, and the 'plague A\as stayed injm Israel.

of the city being in an uproar? 

42 And \\1iile he yet .spake, behold, Jonathan 
the son of Al)iathar the priest came: and Adoni- 
jah said unto him, Come in ; for thou art a ^■a-

David his father; and his kingdom was esta- 
blished greatly. 

13 1 And Adonijah the son of Haggith came 
to Bath-sheba the mother of Solomon. And 
she said, *Comest thou peaceably? And he 
said, Peaceably. 

14 He said moreover, I have somewhat to say 
unto thee. And she said, Say on. 

15 x\nd he said, * Thou knowest that the king- 
dom was mine, and that all Israel set their faces 
on me, that I should reign : howbeit the king- 
dom is turned about, and is become my bro- 
ther's : "for it was his from the Lord. 

16 And now I ask one petition of thee, f deny 
me not. And she said unto him. Say on. 

17 And he said, Speak, I pray thee, unto Solo- 
mon the king, (for he M'ill not saj' thee nay,) that 
he give me "Abishag the Shunammite -to ^vife. 

18 And Bath-sheba said, Well; I Mill speak 
for thee unto the king. 

19 T[ Bath-sheba therefore went unto king 
Solomon, to speak unto him for Adonijah. And 
the king rose up to meet her, ^ and bowed him- 
self unto her, and sat down on his throne, and 
caused a seat to be set for the king's mother ; and 
she sat ^on his right hand. _ 

20 Then she said, I desire one small petition 
of thee; I pray thee, say me not nay. And the 
king said unto her, Ask on, my mother; for I 
will not say thee nay. 

21 And she said, Let Abishag the Shunam- 
mite be given to Adonijali thy brother to wife. 

22 And king Solomon answered and said un- 
to his mother. And why dost thou ask Abishag 
the Shunammite for Adonijah ? Ask lor him the 
■ Lingdom .also; for he is mine elder brother; 
even for him, and for ^ Abiathai^ the priest, and 
for Joab the son of Zeruiah. 

23 Then king Solomon sware by the Lord, 
saying, ^ God do so to me, and more also, if 
Adonijah hath not spoken this Avord against his 
ov.m life. 

24 Now therefore, as the Lord liveth, which 
hath established me, and set me on the throne 
of David my father, and who hath made me an 
house, as he '^ promised, Adonijah shall be put 
to death this day. . 

2,5 And king Solomon sent by the hand of 
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada ; and he fell upon 
him, that he died. 

26 1 And unto Abiathar the priest said the 
king. Get thee to "^Anathoth, unto tliine own 
fields ; for thou art f worthy of death : but I will 
not at this time put thee to death, because thou 
barest the ark of the Lord God ^before David 
my father, and because thou hast been afflicted 
in all w herein my lather was afflicted. 

27 So Solomon thrust out Abiathar from be- 
ing priest unto the Lord; that he might ^ful- 
fil the word of the Lord, which he spake con- 
cerning the house of Eli in Shiloh. 

28 1 Then tidings came to Joab : ^ for Joab 
had turned after Adonijah, though he turned not 
after Absalom. And Joab fled unto the taberna- 
cle of the Lord, '^ and caught hold on the horns 
of the altar.

29 And it was told king Solomon that Joab christ 
v/as fled unto the tabernacle of the Lord ; and, , ^''"; 
behold, he is by the altar. Then Solomon sent 
Benaiah the son of Jehoiada, saying, 'Go, fall 
upon him. 

30 And Benaiah came to the tabernacle of the 
Lord, and said unto him. Thus saith the king. 
Come forth. And he said. Nay ; but I will die 
here. And Benaiah brought the king word again, 
saying. Thus said Joab, and thus he answered me. 

31 And the king said unto him, Do ''as he hath 
said, and fall upon him, and bury him ; Hhatthou s^. 
mayest take aAvay the innocent blood, which Joab ?9^"\ ^^ 
shed, from me, and from the house of my father, ^i- a, 9. 

32 And the Lo r D shall "> return his blood upon S/5^^"' 
his own head, who fell upon two men more righ- 
teous and better than he, and slew them with 

the sword, my father David not knowing thereof, 
to wit, "Abner the son of Ner, captain of the l^^^""- 
host of Israel, and °Amasa the son of Jether, o'zs'am. 
captain of the host of Judah. ^*- "• 

33 Their blood shall therefore return upon the 
head of Joab, and upon the head p of his seed for 1%^"' 
ever : but upon David, and upon his seed, and 
upon his house, and ^ upon his throne, shall ^^^jf' 
there be peace for ever from the Lord. 

34 So Benaiah the son of Jehoiada went up, 
and fell upon him, and slew him : and he was 
buried in his OAvn house in the wilderness. 

35 1[ And the king put Benaiah the son of Je- 
hoiada in his room over the host : and "" Zadok the r Nums. 
priest did the king put in the ' room of AiDiathai'. 

36 1 And the king sent and called for 'Shimei, 
and said unto him, Build thee an house in Jeru- 
salem, and d\A^eli there, and go not forth thence ]^-J-g^ 
any Avhither. 

37 For it shall be, that on the day thou goest 
out, and passest " over the brook Kidron, '.hou "2Sam 
shalt know for certain that thou sli;;.lt surely ^^^J, 
die : ■" thy blood shall be upon thine own head, f^-^ 

38 And Shimei said unto the king. The say- 
ing is good : as my lord the king ha: h said, so 
will thy servant do. And Shimei dwelt in Jeru- 
salem many days. 

39 And it came to pass at the end of three 
yeai"s, that two of the servants of Shimei ran 
away unto Acliish son of Maachah king of Gath : 
and they told Shimei, saying, Behold, thy ser- 
vants be in Gath. 

40 And Shimei aa^ose, and saddled his ass, and 
went t'D " Gath to Achish to seek his servants : and 
Shimei va- ent, and brought his servants from Gath . 

41 And it was told Solomon that Shimei had. 
gone from Jerusalem to Gath, and was come again . 

42 And the king sent and called for Shimei, 

and said unto him, ^ Did Inot make thee to swear |^'^'^'^[- ^f" 
by the Lord, and protested unto thee, saying, 
Know for a certain, on the day thou goesl out, 
andwalkest abroad any whither, that thou shait 
surely die ? and thou saidst unto me. The word 
that I have heard is good. 

43 Why then hast thou not kept the oath of 
the Lord, and the commandment that I liaAc 
chiirged thee with ? ^asam.

4 And the king went to ^Gibeon to sacrifice 
there; for that \vas the ''great high place: a 
thousand l)urnt-ofl'erings did Solomon ofllr upon 
that altar. 

5 1iln Gibeon the Lord appeared to Solo- 
mon 'in a dream by night: and God said, Ask 
w hat I shall give thee. 

6 And Solomon said, Thou hast shewed unto 
thy ser\ant David my father great || mercy, ac- 
cording as he walked before thee in truth, and 
ill righteousness, and in uprightness of heart 
w itli thee ; and thou hast kept for hiin this great 
kindness, that thou hast ''given him a son to sit 
on his throne, as it is this day. 

7 And now% O Lord my God, thou hast 
made thy servant king instead of David my fa- 
ther: and I '(7;;/ but a little child: I know not 
hov3 '" to go out or come in. 

8 And thy sei-vant is in the midst of thy peo- 
ple which thou hast chosen, a great people, " that 
cannot be numbered nor counted for multitude. 

9 'Give therefore thy seivant an t understand- 
ing heart to 'judge thy people, that I ma}- dis- 
cern '•between good and bad: for \\ho is aljle 
to judge this thy so great a peopk- ? 

10 And the speech pleased the Lord, that 
Solomon had asked this thing. 

1 1 And G(xl said unto him, Ikcause thou 
Jiast asked this tiling, and hast not asked for 

thyself t long life ; neither hast asked riches lor 
'■ llixself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; 
but hast asked for tiiyself "" undersUinding f to 
discern judgment ; 

12 Hehold, I have done according to thy

15 And Solomon " awoke; and, behold, // %vas ,Xn. 
a dream. And he came to Jerusalem, and stood "• t- 
before the ark of the covenant of ihe Loan, and 
offered up l)iirnt-(^ii"erings, and oftlred peace-of- 
ferings, and '' made a feast to all his sei vants. ycen. 

16 TI Ihen curne there two women, tliat iver< chap.s.ef. 
harlots, unto the king, and * stood before hiin. n^./.r 

1 7 And the one a\ oman said, " O my lord, 1 ^^^w'""- 
and this woman dwell in one hou.se; and 1 was aG,„. 
delivered of a child w ilh her in the house. «• ^ 

18 And it came to pass tl^.e third day after 
that I was delivc. cd, that this woman was deli- 
vered also: and wc -ivere togedicr ; there was no 
sti anger widi us in the house, sa\e we two in 
the liou.se. 

19 And this woman's child died in the night; 
l)ecause she overlaid it. _ _ 

20 And she arose at midnight, and took mj' 
son from beside nie, w hile thine handmaid slept, 
and laid it in her bosom, and laid her dead chiid 
in my bosom. 

2l"And when I rose in the morning to give 
my child ''suck, behold, it was tlead: but when J;,«^^"- 
I had considered it in the morning, behold, it isam.i.'w. 
was not m\- son which I did bear. 

22 And "the otliLr won^an said. Nay ; but the 
living is my son, and the dead is ihy son. And this 
said. No;' but the dead io- thv son, and the liv- 
ing is my son. Thus they spake before die king. 

23 Then said the king, The one saith. This 
is mv son that li\ eth, and thy son is the dead : 
and "die other saith, Nay; but thy son is tlie, 
dead, and m\' son is the living. 

24 And tiie king said. Bring me a sword. 
And they brought a sw ord before the king. 

25 And the king said, Divi'de the living child 
in two, and give half to the one, and half to the 
other. 

26 Then sjxike the woman whose the living 
child was unto the king, for her IjowcIs f yeani- l^^Xt,

27 Then the king answered and said, Give 
her die living child, and in no wise slay it ; she 
is the mother thereof. 

28 And all Israel heard of the judgment which

270 Solomon'' s builders set forward 

unto the name of the Lokd my God, '^as the 
Lord spake unto Da\id my father, saying, 
Thy son, wliom I will set upon thy throne 
in thy room, he shall build an house unto my 
name. 

6 Now therefore command thou tliat they hew 
K 2 chron. me ^ Cedar- trces out of Lebanon ; iuid n\y ser- 
vants shall be w ith thy servants : and unto thee 
will I gl\e hiie for thy ser\ants according to all 

, that thou shalt f appoint : for thou knowest that 
there is not among us any that can skill to hew 
limber like unto the Sidoniiuis. 

7 IT And it came to pass, ^vhen Hiram heard 
the A\-ords of Solomon, that he rejoiced greatly, 
and said, ^ Blessed be the Lord this day, which 
hath gi\en unto David a wise son oxtv ' this 
great people. 

8 And Hiram sent to Solomon, saying, I have 
t considered the things \\ hieh thou sentest to me 
for: afid I will do all thy desire concerning tim- 
ber of cedar, and concerning timber of fir. 

9 My ser\ants shall bring them down from 
hi Chron. Lebanon imto the sea: ''and I will convey them 

by sea in flouts unto the place that thou shalt 
t ai)i)oint me, and will cause theni to be dis- 
charged there, and thou shalt recei\e them: and 
thou shalt accomplish my desire, 'in giving food 
foi' my household. 

10 So Hiiam gave Solomon cedar-trees and 
fir-U'ees according to all his desire. 

11 And Solomon gave Hiram t^\•enty thou- 
tHeb.-3r!, sand t measures of wheat for food to his house- 

hold, and twenty measures of pure oil : thus ga^ e 
Solomon to Hiram year by year. 

12 And ""die Lord gave Solomon wisdom, 
as he promised him : and there w as peace be- 
tween Hiram and Solomon ; and thej- tw o made 
a league together. 

1:3 1 And king Solomon raised at le\y out 
of all I.srael ; and the le\ y was thirty thousand 
men. 

14 And he sent them to Lebanon ten thousand 
a month by co\irses : a month they were in Le- 
banon, and t\\ o months at home : and " Adoni- 
ram ivas over the le\ > . 

15 And Solomon had threescore and ten thou- 
sand ° diat bsu^e burdens, and fourscore thousand 
hewers in the mountains; 

16 Beside the chief of Solomon's officers 
A\hich \vcre o\cr the work, three thousand and 
three hundred, which ruled o\er the people that 
wrought in the work. 

1 7 And the king commanded, and they brought

17 And the house, that is, the temple before it, 
was forty cubits long. 

18 And the cedar of the house ■\\ithin ivas 
cur\ed \\ith || knops and t open flo\\xr5 : all \vas 
cedar ; there Avas no stone seen. 

1 9 And the ™ oracle he prepared in the house 
^^ithin, to set there the ark of the covenant of 
the Lord. 

20 And the oracle in the fore-part tvas twenty 
cubits in length, and t\^■enty cubits in breadth, 
and twenty cubits in tlie height tliereof : and he 
o\ erlaid it with f pure gold ; and so covered the 
altar ivhich xvas of cedar. 

2 1 So Solomon overlaid the house within A\-ith 
pure gold : aiid he made -a " partition by the 
chains of gold before the oracle ; and he overlaid 
it with gold. 

22 And the v.hc^e house he overlaid with gold, 
until he had finished all the house : ° also the 
whole altar that was by the oracle he overlaid 
with gold. 

23 % And within the oracle he made p tVvO 
cherubims q/' || f olive-tree, each ten cubits 
fiigh. 

24 And fiAC cubits ivas the one wing of the 
cherub, and fi\e cubits the other A\ing of the 
cherub : from the uttermost part of the one 
wing unto the uttermost part of the other were 
ten cubits. 

25 And the other chenib ivas "^ ten cubits : 
both the cherubims were of one measure and 
one size. 

26 The height of the one cherub was ten cu- 
bits, and so was it of the other chenib. 

27 And he set the cherubims within the inner 
house : and "■ || they sti-etched forth the v/ings 
of the cherubims, so that the wing of the one 
touched the one wall, and the wing of the other 
cherub touched the other wall ; and their 
wings touched one another in the midst of the 
house. 

28 And he overlaid ^ the cherubims M'ith 
gold. 

29 And he carved all the Vv'alls of the house 
round about a\ ith carved figures of cherubims, 
and palm-ti-ees, and fopen flowers, within and

13 TI And king Solomon sent aiid fetched Hi- 
ram out ofTyre. 

14 He ivas fa widow's son of the tribe of 
Naphtali, and his father ivas a man of Tyre, a 
worker in brass : and he was ^ filled \\ith wis- 
dom, and understanding, and cunning to work 
ail works in bmss. And he came to king Solo- 
mon, and wrought all his work. 

15 For he f cast two pillars of brass, ''of eigh- 
teen cubits high a-piece : and a line of twelve 
cubits did compass either of them about. 

16 And he made two chapiters of molten 
brass, to set upon the tops of the pillars : the 
height of the one chai)iter ivas five cubits, 
and the height of the other chapiter ivas fi\e 
cubits : 

17 And nets of chequer- work, and wreaths of 
chain- work, for the chapiters \\ hich ivere upon 
the top of the pillars ; seven for the one chapiter, 
and seven for the other chapiter. 

18 And he made the pillars, and two rows 
round about upon the one net-work, to cover the 
chapiters that ivere upon the top, with pome- 
granates : and so did he for the other chajiiter. 

1 9 And the chapiters that ivere upon the top 
of the pillars ivere ' of lily- work in the porch, 
four cubits. 

20 And the chapiters upon the two pillars Jiad 
pome'^ranates also abo\e, over against the belly 
w hich ivas by the net-work : and the pomegra- 
nates ivere two hundred in rows round about 
upon the othei- chapiter. 

21 ''xVnd he set up the pillars in the porch 
of the temple : and he set up the right pillar, 
and called the name thereof || Jachin : and he 
set up the left pilkir, and called the name thereof 
II Boaz. 

22 And upon the top of the pillars ivas lily- 
work : so was the work of the pillars finished. 

23 H And ' he made a molten sea, ten cubits 
t from the one brim to the other : it ivas round 
all about, and his height was five cubits : and a 
line of thirty cubits did compass it roundabout. 

24 And under the brim of it round about t/iere 
were knops compassing it, ten in a cubit, "com- 
passing the sea round about : the knops were cast 
m two row s, when it was east. 

25 " It stood upon twelve oxen, three lo(jking 
toward the north, and three looking toward tlie 
west, and three looking toward the south, and 
three looking tow ard the east : luid tlie sea was 
set alxjve upon them, and all their hinder parts 
ivere inward. 

26 And it was an ^hand-ijreadth thick, and 
the brim thereof was wrought like the brim of a 
cup, with flowers of lilies: it contained two 
thousand l^aths. 

27 i; And he made ten abases of brass; four 
cubits Wiis the length of one ba.se, and four cu- 
bits the breadth tliereof, and three cubits the 
height of it. 

28 And the work of the leases voas on this 
manner : they had borders, and the borders 
•were l>etween the leilges : 

29 And on the borders that were between the 



ledges were lions, oxen, and cherubims : and 
upon the ledges t/iere was a base above : and 
beneath the lions and oxen were certain addi- 
tions made of thin -work. 

30 .\nd ever>- base had four brazen v\ heels, luid 
plates of brass : and the four corners thereof had 
undersetters : under tlie "Jlaver were undersetters q^chrwi. 
molten, at die side of eveiy addition. *■**" 

31 And the mouth of it widiin the chapiter 
and above was a cubit : but the mouth thereof 
was round after the work of the base, a cubit 
and an half: and also upon die mouth of it were 
gi-avings with their borders, four-square, not 
round. 

c>-2 And under the borders were 'four wheels; rversc c«. 
and the axle-trees of the wheels ivere ^ joined to J^l^'" 
the base : and the height of a wheel was a cubit "*' 
and half a cuiiit. 

33 And the work of the w heels was like the 
work of a chariot-w heel : their axle-trees, and 
their naves, and their felloes, and their spokes, 
were all molten. 

34 And t/icre were four • undersetters to the »ver«eM. 
four comers of one ba.se : arid tlie undersetters 

were of the veiy base itself 

35 And in the top of the biise was there a round 
compass of half a cubit high : and on the top of 
the base the ledges thereof and the bordei"s thei e- 
oiwcre of the same. 

36 For on the i)lates of the ledges thereof, and 

on the borders thereof, he graved ' cherubims, tvers«». 
lions, and palm-trees, according to the f propor- 1"'^;^,^ 
tion of every one, and additions loimd ii!:)out, 

37 After this manner^h^ made tlie ten bases : 
all of them had one casting, one meiLsiue, and 
one size. 

38 IT Then made he "^itw lavers of bi*ass : one J^^'^''™'^ 
laver continued forty baths : and c\i:vy laver was 

foui- cubits : and upon every one of tlie teri ba- 
ses one la\ er. 

39 And he put fiv^e bases on the right f side oft Hri. 
'he house, and five on the left side of the house : ""*"'"■ 
and he set the sea on the right side of the house 
eastw ard over against the .south. 

40 H And * Hiram made the lavers, and the wvcrseu. 
shovels, and the ba.sons. So Hiram made an end 

of doing all the v.ork that he made king Solomon 
for the house of the Lord : 

41 The two pillars, and the two bow Is of the 
chapiters that were on the top of the two pillars; 

and the " two net-w orks, to cover the tvxo bowls "VrriM 
of the chapiters v\hieh wt'/t' upon thetoi)ofthe 
pillars ; 

42 i\nd four hmidred i)omegranates for the 
two net-v\ orks, even tv\-o rov\s of pomegninates 

i ff)r one net-work, to cover the two bowls of the 
chapitei-s diat were t npon tin: j)illars ; t Heh. 

43 And the ten ba.ses, and ten lavers on the "/rT/tX'/" 
bases ; f"'^'"- 

44 And one sea, and twelve oxen under the , ^

46 In the plain oi jOidan did the king cas- 
them, f in the claj'-ground between Succoth 
and Zanhan. - 

47 And Solomon left all the \'essels umveig/ied, 
t because they M'ere exceeding many: neithe? 
was the weight of tlie brass f found out. 

48 And Solomon made all tiie \essels tha: 
pertained imto the house of the Lord: *the 
altar oi gold, and ^ the table of gold, av hereupon 
the ' shew-bread ivas, 

49 And the candlesticks of pure gold, fi^e oi

50 And the bo^\ls, and the snuffers, and the 
basons, and the spoons, and the f censers of 
pure gold ; and the hinges of gold, both for the 
doors of tlie ^ inner house, the most holy place. 
and for the doors of the house, to \vit, of the 
temple. 

51 So was ended all the work that king Solo- 
mon made for the house of the Lord. And 
Solomon brought in the f tilings * which Da^id 
his father had dedicated; even the silver, and 
the gold, and the vessels, did he put among the 
treasures of the house of the Lord.

THEN " Solomon assembled the elders of

the t chief of the fathers of the children of 
Israel, unto king Solomon in Jerusalem, ''that 
they might bring up the ark of the covenant 
of the LoRJi out of the =city of David, v.hich 
is Zion. 

2 And all the men of Israel assembled them- 
selves unto king Solomon at ^ the feast in 
the month Ethanim, which is the se^'enth 
month. 

3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the 
priests took up the ark. 

4 And they brought up the ark of the 
Lord, *and the tabernacle of the congrega- 
tion, and all the holy vessels that ^luere in the 
tabernacle, e^■en those did the priests and the 
Levites bring up. 

5 And king Solomon, and all the congre- 
gation of Israel, that were assem.bled unto ham, 
"cjere with him before the ark, 'sacrificing sheep 
and oxen, that could not be told nor numbered 
for multitude. 

6 -And the ^ priests brought in the ark of the 
covenaiit of the Lord unto his place, into the 
oi -.jle of the house, to the most holy place^ ^ caeii 
under the wi.igs of the cherubims. 

7 For the chenabims spread forth their two 
wings o\er the place of the ark, and the che- 
rabims covered the ark and the staves thereof 
above. 

8 x\nd they 'drew out the staves, that the 
t ends of the staves were seen out in the || holj

all the people of the earth, to be thine inlierit- 
aiice, "^ as thou spakest by tlie hand of Moses thy 
ser\-ant, when thou broughtest our fathers out 
of Egjpt, O Lord God. 

54 And it \vas so, that ^hen Solomon had 
made ari end of praj-ing all this prayer arid sup- 
plication unto the Lord, he ai'ose ^from before 
tlie altar of the Lord, from kneeling on his 
knees 'v\ith his hands spread up to heaven. 

55 And he stood, 'and blessed all the congre- 
gation of Israel v.ith a loud \'oice, saving, 

56 Blessed be the Lord, tliat hath given rest 
unto his people Israel, according to all that he 
promised : there hath not f failed one word of 
all his good promise, \\hich he piomised by the 
hand of Moses his servant. 

57 The Lord our God be with us, as he was 
with our fathers : ^ let him not leave us, nor for- 
sake us : 

58 That he may *" incline our hearts unto him, 
to walk in all his ways, and to keep his com- 
mandments, and his statutes, and his judgments, 
which he commanded our fathers. 

59 And let these my words, where\\-ith I ha^e 
made supplication before the Lord, be nigh 
unto the Lord our God day and night, that he 
maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause 
of his people Israel t at all times, as the matter 
shall require : 

60 ' That all the people of the earth may 
know that the Lord is God, and that there is 
none else. 

61 Let your ''heart therefore be perfect with 
the Lord our God, to A\'alk in his statutes, and 
to keep his commandments, as at this day. 

62 ^ And Hhe king, and all Israel with him, of- 
fered sacrifice before the Lord. 

63 And Solomon offered a sacrifice of peace- 
oiferings, Mhich he offered unto the Lord, two 
and twenty thousand oxen, and an hundred and 
twentj' thousand sheep. So the king and " all 
the childi-en of Israel dedicated the house of the 
Lord. 

64 " The same day did the king hallow the 
middle of the court that ivas before the house 
of the Lord : for there he offered burnt-offer- 
ings, and meat-offerings, and the fat of the peace- 
offerings : ° because the brazen altar that ivas be- 
fore the Lord was too little to recei^"e the bunit- 
offerings, and meat-offerings, and the fat of the 
peace-offerings. 

65 And at that time Solomon p held a feast, 
and all Israel with him, a gi-eat congregation, 
from the ^ entering in of Hamath unto the ' ri\er 
of Eg>T)t, before the Lord our God, ' seven days 
and seven daj'S, eve?i fourteen days. 

66 On the eighth day he sent the people away : 
and they l| blessed the king, and v/ent unto tlieir 
tents joyful and glad of heait for all the goodness 
that the Lord had done for DaA'id his ser\ant, 
and for Israel his people.

21 TT '^ And all king Solomon's di-iiilving vessels 
were of gold, and all the vessels of the house of 
die forest of Lebanon were of pure gold ; \ none 
were of siher : it was nothing accounted of in

22 For the king had at sea a navy of "^ Thar- 
shish with the navy of Hiram : once in three 
yeai-s came the navy of Thai-shish, bringmg gold, 
and silver, || ivory, trnd apes, and peacocks. 

23 So king Solomon '" exceeoled all the kings 
of the earth for riches and for wisdom. 

24 % And all the earth f sought to Solomon, 
to hear his wisdom, -which God had put in Ms 
heait. 

25 And they brought ^ every man his present, 
Acssels of silver, and vessels of gold, and gar- 
ments, and annour, and spices, horses, and 
mules, a rate year by 5-ear. 

26 11 ' And Solomon gathered together cha- 
riots and horsemen : and he had a thoiisand and 
four hundred chariots, and twehe thousand 
horsemen, ^\4iom he bestowed in the cities for 
chariots, and \\ith the king at Jerusalem. 

27 And die king t made silver to be in Jeru- 
salem as stones, and cedai-s made he to be as 
the sycamore-trees that are in the vale, for 
abundance. 

28 TI*^ t And Solomon had horses brought out 
of Egj^pt, and linen-yam : the king's merchants 
received the linen-yam at a price. 

29 And a chariot came up and^vent out of 
w;»cl was Eg-j'pt for six hundi^ed shekels of silver, and an 
T'il^zi horse for an hmidred and fifty : and so for all " the

that his wives turned aivay his heait after other

23 H And God .stiiTcd hin\ up another ad\ cr- 
sary, Rezon the son of Oiaduh, w liich lied liom 
lu.s'lord * HadadcztT king of Zobah : 

24 /Vnd he gathered men unto him, and 
became captain o\er a Ixmd, '' when Da\ id 
slew them cf Zobah : iuid tliey w cnt to Da- 
mascus, and dwelt tlitrein, and reigned in 
Damascus. 

25 And he was ' an ad\'ersar>' to Israel all the 
cbys of Solomon, Ixside the mi^chlei that Ha- 
dad did : iind he abhorred Israel, and reigned 
over Sjria. 

26 ir And ^ Jeroboam the s(5n of Nebal, an 
Eplu~athite of Zereda^ Solomon's seniuit, whose 
modier's name was Zeruah, a widow \\omiui, 
even he ' lifted up hh hand iigainst the king. 

27 And this ivas the cause that he lifted up /lis 
hand against die king : ' Solomon buiit iViillo, 
and t repaired the breaches of the citj' of David 
his father. 

28 And the man Jeroboam ivas a mighty 
man of valour : iukI Solomon seeing the young 
man that he t ^^^^s industrious, he made him 
ruler over all the f cluirge of the house of Jo- 
seph. 

29 And it came to piiss at that time \\\\t\\ Je- 
roboam went out of Jerusiilem, that the spiophet 
Ahijah die Shilonite ibund him in die w ay ; iuid 
he had clad liimself w ith a new giunnent ; and 
diey tw o iverc alone in the field : 

30 And AhijiJi caught the new gamient tliat 
ivas on him, and ^ rent it in tweh e jjieces : 

31 And h.c Siiid to Jeroboam, 'I'ake thee ten 
pieces : ' for thus s;\ith the Loud, the God of Is- 
rael, Keliold, I will rend the kingdom out of the 
kind of Solomon, mid will giNC ten tribes to 
thee : 

'32 (Bi'.t he skill ha\e ^ one tribe for my ser- 
vant l)a\ id's sake, and for Jerusalem'.-, sake, the 
citj- \\ hich I lia\ e chosen out of iill die ti-ibes of 
Israel : ) 

33 Because that diey have forsiiken me, ' and 
kwe worshipped Ashtoreth die goddess of the 
Zidonians, Chemosh tlie god of die Moabites, 
and Milcom the god of the children of Amnion, 
;uid haNC not walked in niv ways, to do t/uU whic/i 
is rii^lit in mine e>es, lUid to_ keep my statutes and 
my juc'gnients, as did Da\id his fatlier. 

34 Howlx-it, I will not tiike the ^\lloIe Jcing- 
dom out of his hand : but I will niake liim 
prince all the dajs of his life, for "' David my ser- 
^■ant's siike, a\ hom I chose, Ixcause he kept my 
commandments and my stiitutes : 

35 But " I will tiike the kingdom out of his 
son's hand, and will give it unto thee, cirn ten 
tribes. 

30 And unto his son will I give one tribe, 
that David my scT\ant may have a f light alwa\- 
before me in Jenisiikm, the city which I luue 
chosen me to put my name dieix:. 

37 And I will tiike thee, and diou shall reign 
according to all diat thy soul dc-sireth, ;uid sluilt 
be king o\er Israel. 

38 And it shall be, if thou wilt hearken unto

p build thee a sure house, as I built for David, 
and w ill give Isniel unto diee. 

39 And I will for this alHict the seed of Da- 
\id, but not for e\ er. 

40 Solomon .sought therefore to kill Jero- 
boam. And Jeroboam arose, iuid Red into Euypt, 
unto Shishak king of Egypt, and was in Egjpt 
1 until the death of Solomon. 

41 Tl And the rest of the || acts of Solomon, 
and iill that he did, ;uid his wisdom, are they not 
written in the book of the acts of Soi.>mon '? 

42 And the f time tluit Solomon reigned ii. 
Jerusalem o\ er all Israel was "■ fbrtj- yeai's. 

43 And Solomon slept \vith his fadiei-s, and 
\\as buried in the city o[ Da\ id his father : iuid 
' Rehoboam his son reigned in his stead. 

CHAP. XII. 
1 The Israelites assembled at Shechem to crown Re- 
hoboam, by Jeroboam make a suit of relaxation 
unto him. 6 Rehoboam refusing the old jnen^s 
counsel, by the advice 0/ young men answereth 
them roughly. 16 Ten tribes revolt i?ig, kill 
Adoram, and make Rehoboam to fee. 21 Reho- 
boam raising an army, is forbidden bySltemaiah. 
24 'Jeroboam strengtheneth himself by cities, 
26 and by the idolatry of the two cahes. 

AND * Uehoboam went to Shochem : for all 
Israel \\ ere come to Shechem to m;ikc hini 
king.^ 

2 And it came to pass, when '' Jeroboam the 
son of Nebat, who w as yet in ' Egypt, heard ij 
it, (for he ^vas Hed from die presence of king 
Solomon, and Jeroboam dwelt in Egjpt ; ) 

3 That they sent and ciUkd him. And Jero- 
boam and all the congiegjition of Israel aime and 
.spake unto Rehoboam, siiying, 

4 Thy father made our** yoke grievous: now 
therefore make thou the grievous ser\ ice of thy 
father, and his hea\y yoke wlych he put upon 
us, lighter, and \\ e w ill sen c thee. 

5 And he said unto them. Depart yet for three 
dius, then come again to me. And die people 
dep;uted. 

6 ^ And king Rehoboam consulted ' w ith the 
old men, that stcKxl befoie Solomon his father 
while he yet li\ed, and said. How do >e iid\ ise 
that I rna>- answer this people '?. 

7 And tliej- spake unto him, sa\ ing, ^ If thou 
wilt be a senant unto this peoi)le this day, and 
wilt ser\e them, iuid answer them, and si^eak 
good words to them, dien they w ill Ix- thy ser- 
vants for e\er. 

8 But he for:,ook the counsel of the old men, 
which they hatl gi\en him, and consulted with 
the young men that were grown up widi him, 
and which sto(xl before him : 

9 And he said unto theni. What counsel gn\e

''thou speak unto this peq^le that spake unto 
thee, saying, Thy father made our yoke hea^y, 
but make thou it lighter unto us ; thus shalt 
tliou say unto them. My httle finger shall be 
thicker than mj- father's loins. 

1 1 And now \\hercas my father did lade you 
Y/ith a heavy 3oke, I will add to your yoke : mj- 
fiither hath chastised you ^vith whips, but I will 
clwstise you A\ith scoipions. 

12 Tf So Jeroboam and all the people came to 
Rehoboam tiie third day, as tlie king had ap- 
pointed, saying. Come to me again the thiixl daj". 

13 And the king answered the people trough- 
h', and forsook the old men's counsel thiit they 
gtiAC him ; 

14 And spake to them after the counsel of the 
young men, saying, My father made yom- "yoke 
heavy, and I ^vill add to jour yoke : my fdther 
also chastised j'ou with wliips, but I ^y'A\ chastise 
j'ou with scoipions. 

15 AV^herefore the king heai^kened not unto 
the people _; 'for the cause was from tlie Lord, 
that he might perform liis saying, _ which the 
Lord "^ spake by Ahij all the Siiilonite unto Je- 
roboam the son of Nebat. 

16 \ So when ail Israel saw that the king heai-- 
kened not unto them, tlie people answered the 
king, saying, ' W'hat portion ha\e we in David ? 
neitiier /urce ive iiilieritance in the son of Jesse : 
to your tents, O Israel : noA\' see to thine own 
house, David. So Israel depaited unto their 
tents. 

17 But as for the childi-en of Israel " which 
dwelt in the cities of Judah, Rehoboam reigned 
o\er them. 

18 Then king Rehoboam sent " Adoram, who 
%\^as over the tribute ; and all Israel stoned liim 
wldi stones, that he died. Therefore king Re- 
hoboam t made speed to get liim up to his cha- 
riot, to flee to Jerusalem. 

19 So Israel || rebelled against the house of 
David unto this day. 

20 And it came to pass, when all Israel heai'd 
that Jeroboam \\2& come again, that they sent and 
called him unto the congi-egation, and made him 
king o-^cr all Israel : there ^\'as none that followed 
the house of David, but the tribe of Judali °only. 

21 \ And i* when Rehoboam \vas conie to Jeioi- 
salem, he assembled all the house of Judali, with 
the ti-ibe of Benjamin, an hundred an.d fourscore 
thousand chosen men, which were waniors, to 
fight against tlie house of Israel, to bruig tlie king- 
dom again to Rehoboam the son of Solomon. 

22 But 1 the \\ord of God came unto She-

of thee for her son ; for he is sick : tlius and thus 
slidt thou say unto her: for it shall be, when 
she cometh in, that slie shall feign herself to be 
another woman. 

6 And it was so, when Ahijah heai'd the sound 
of her feet, as she came in at tlie door, that he 
said, Come in, thou wile of Jeroboam ; why 
feignest thou thyself to be another ? for I am sent 
to thee %vit/i f heavy tiditigs. 

7 Go, tell Jeroboam, Thus saidi the Lord 
God of Israel, ^ Forasmuch as I exalted thee fi'om 
among the people, and made tliee prinee oxtx my 
people Israel, 

8 And '" rent the kingdom away fi-om the house 
of David, and ga-ve it thee : and yet thou hast 

f3?38f*"' "ot been ° as my servant DaA id, A\ho kept my 
commandments, and who followed me with ail 
his heart, to do that only which vjas right in 
mine eyes : 

9 But hast done evil abo^e all that were be- 
fore thee : for tliou liast gone and made thee 
other gods, and molten images, to provoke me 
to anger, and hast cast me behind thy back : 

10 Therefore, behold, ^ I \A'ill bring e\il upon 
the house of Jeroboam, aiid \vill_ cut oft" from 
Jeroboam ' him that pisseth against the wall, 
and him ^ that is shut up and leit in Israel, and 
will take awaj^ the remnant of the house of 
Jeroboam, as a man taketh away diuig, till it be 
all gone. 

11 Him that dieth of Jeroboam in the city 
shall ^ the dogs eat : and him that dieth in the 
field shall the foA\"ls of the air eat ; for the Lord 
hatli spoken it. 

12 Arise thou therefore, get thee to thine own 
house : and when thy feet °' enter into the city, 
the child shall die. 

13 And all Israel shall 'mourn for him, and 
bur}' him : for he only of Jeroboam shall come 
to the grave, because- in him there is found " seme 
good thing towiuxl the Lord God of Israel in 
the house of Jeroboam. 

_. 14 Moreover, the Lord shall raise him up a 
^T^M^if' king o^er Israel, ° who shall cut off the house of 
Jeroboam that day : but what "? even now.

began Baasha the son of Ahijah to reign over all 
Israel in Tirzah, twenty and four yeais.

THEN the word of the Lord came to ^ Jehu

2 Forasmuch as I '' exalted thee out of the 
dust, and made tb.ee prince o^er my people Is- 
rael ; and tliou hast ^\alked in the ' \\-ic< of Jero- 
boam, and hast made my people Israel to sin, to 
pro\ok.e me to anger ^\itli tlieir sins ; 

3 Behold, I Mill take a^^av the posterity- of 
Baasha, and the posterity of liis house ; and wiU 
make thy house like ^ the house of Jeroboam the 
son of Nebat, 

4 * Him that dieth of Baasha in the city shall 
the dogs eat ; and him that dieth of his in the 
fields shall the foi\is of the aii- eat, 

5 Now the rest of the acts of Baasha, and 
what he did, and liis xvas^X,^ are they not ^^it- 
ten in the- book of the chi'onicles of tiie kings of 
Israel ? 

6 So Baasha slept A\iih his fathers, and was 
bm-ied in ° Tii'sah : and Elali his son reigned in 
Iiis stead, 

7 And also by the hand of the prophet '^ Jehu 
the son of Hanani came the Avord of the Lord 
against Baasha, and against his house, CAcn for 
all the evil that he did in the sight of the Lord, 
in provoking him to ai^.ger A\ith tlie "work of his 
hands, in being like the house of Jeroboam ; 
' and because lie killed him. 

8 In the t\^ enty and sixth year of Asa king of 
Judali began Elah the son of Baasha to reign 
over Israel m Tirzali, t\yo yeai's. 

9 And his servant ^ Zimri, captain of half his 
chai-iots, conspired against him, as he M^as in 
TirziJi, diinking himself diamk^ in the house of 
Ai'zah •(■ ste\vajxi of his house in Tirzah. 

10 And Zimri went in and smote him, and 
killed him, in the tAvent^v and scAcnth yeai' of 
Asa king of Jud;\li, and reigned in his stead. 

111! And it came to pass, i\hen lie began to 
reign, as soon as he sat on. his throne, that he 
slew all the house of Baasha : he leit him ' not 
one that pisseth against a wall, || neither of his 
kinsfolk, nor of his friends. 

12 Thus did Zimi-i destroy all the house of 
Baasha, "according to the word of the Lord, 
which he spiike agtiiiist Baasha, f by Jehu the 
prophet, 

13 For all the sins of Baiisha, and the sins of 
Elaii his son by Avliich they sinjied, and by 



XVI, Omri's ivicked reign. 283' 

which they made Israel to sin, in provoking the christ 
Lord God of Israel to anger with theii- " vanities, i^J?!:_j 

14 Now the rest of the acts of Elah, and all ^^^^^^ 
that he did, are they net written in the book of zi-i'sio?.' 
the chronicles of the krags of Israel? ^lao!^'^ 

15 liln the twent\^ and seventh year of Asa^""^^;^ 
king of Judah did Zimri reign se^en days in 
Tirzah. And the people ivere encarnped against 

° Gibbethon, ^vhich belonged to the Philistines, ochap. i*j 

16 And the people that v:ere encamped heard 
say, Zimri hath conspired, and hath also slain 
the king : \\herefore all Israel made Omri, the 
captain of the host, king over Israel that day in 
the camp. 

17 And Oniii ^vent up fiom. Gibbethon, and 
all Israel ^vith him, and they besieged Tirzah. 

18 And it came to pass, when Ziniri sriw tliat «;*• 
tlie clt\- \\2& taken, that he went into the palace 

of the king's house, and burnt die king's house 
o^-er him with fire, and died, 

19 For his sins which he sinned in doing evil 

in the sight of the Lord, in p walking in the ^vay l,^^^: ^ 
of Jeroboam, and in his sin wliich he did, to JJ; ^^; ^ 
make Isi-ael to sin, 

20 No^w" the rest of the acts of Zimri, and his 
ti'eason that he ^^Tought, are they not "written 
in the book of the chi-onicles of the kings of 
Israel ? 

21 Tf Then "\^-ere the people of Israel divided 
into tvvo paits : half of tlie people foUcAed Tib- 
ni the son of Ginath, to make him king ; and 

half followed "^ Omii. <i verses 

22 But the people that foUoAved Omri pre- 
vailed against the people that followed Tibni 
die son of Ginath : so Tibni died, and Omri 
reigned. 

23 ^ In the thirty and first year of Asa k? ■ .g of -"' 
Judali began Oniri_ to reign o^-er Israel, avehe 
years: six yeai's reigned he in '^ Tii'z' j. rversei?. 

24 And he bought the hill Samaila of She-

hill, and called the name of the city A\hich he 
built, after the name of Shemer, OAXT.er of die 

lull, t Samai-ia. tHeb.^ ^ 

25 ^ But Oiuri -vvTought evil in the eyes of chap.'is!'

26 For he ^ walked in all tlie way of Jeroboan^ s vcrse ip,

27 No^v_ the rest of the acts of Omri which he 
did, and his migl\t that he shewed, are they not

28 So Omri slept -vvith his fathers, and was

1 Elijah having prophesied against Ahab, is sent 

to Cherith, where the ravens feed him : 8 he is 

sent to the widow qfZarephath: 17 he raiseth 

the widow'' s son : 24 t/ie -wo/nan believeth him. 

AND t Llijah the Tishbite, who was of the 
inliabitants of Gilcad, said unto Ahab, " As 
the Lord God of Israel liveth, ''before whom I 
stand, " there shiill not be dew nor rain '^ these 
yeius, but according to my word. 

2^Vndthc word of the Lord came imto him, 
s;iy'uig, 

3 Get thee hence, and turn thee eastward, and 
hide diyself by the brook Chcrith, that is before 
Jordan. 

4 .(\nd it shall be, tliat diou shalt cL-ink of the 
brook : and I ha^e commanded die ra\ens to 
leed thee there. 

5 So he went and did according unto the 
word of the Lord : for he Avent and dwelt by 
the brook Clierith, that is before JorcUin. 

6 ''iXnd the ra\ens brought him bread and 
flesh in the morning, and bread iuid flesh iji d.e 
e\ening; tmd he drank of the brook. 

7 And it came to pass, f alter a while, that the 
brook dried up, because there luid been no rain 
in the land. 

8 II And the word of the Lord came unto 
him, saying, 

9 Arise, get thee to " Ziirephath, which be- 
longeth to Zidon, and dwell there : behold, I 
have "^ commanded a widow wonxin diere to 
sustain thee. 

10 So he arose and went to Ziircphadi. And 
\\hen he came to the gate of the citj , behold, 
the widow woman was diere; gathering of sticks : 
and he called to her, and said. Fetch me, I pray 
thee, a little water in a \cssel, that I may cbink. 

1 1 And as she A\as going to fetch it, he called 
to her, and s;iid, Bring me, 1 pray thee, a mor- 
sel of bread in Uiine luuid. 

12 And she said, « ^.j the Lord tliy God liv- 
eth, I ha\ e not a ^ cake, but an handful of meal 
in a baiTel, ami a little oil in a cruse : and, be- 
hold, I am gathering two sticks, that I may go

9 And he said, What have I sinned, that thou 
wouldest deliver thy servant into the hand of 
Ahab, to slay me ? 

10 ^ As the Lord thy God liveth, there is no

17 Tf And it came to pass, when Ahab saw

that troubleth Israel ? 

18 And he artswered, I have not troubled

Ben-hadad besiegeth Samaria. CHAP. XX. 

CHAP. XX. 

1 Ben-hadad not content with Ahab^s homage, he 
besiegeth Samaria. 13 Bi/ the direction of a pro- 
phet the Syrians are slain. 22 As the prophet 
forexoarncd Ahab, the Syrians trusting in the 
valleys, come agaiiist him in Aphek. 28 By the 
xoorcl of the prophet, and God'' s judgment, the 
Syrians are smitten again. 31 The Syrians sub- 
mitting themselves, Ahab sendeth Ben-hadad 
anvay ivith a covenant. 35 The prophet, under 
the parable of a prisoner, making Ahab to judge 
himself, dejionnceth God''sjudgment against him. 

AND Ben-hadad the king of * Syria gathered 
all his host together : and there tvere thirty 
and tA%-o kings \vith him, and horses, and cha- 
riots : and he went up and besieged ^ Samaria, f 
and '.marred against it. 

2 And he " sent messengers to Ahab king of 
Israel into the city, and said unto him, Thus 
saith Ben-hadad, 

3 Thy sih er and thy gold is mine ; thy wives 
also and thy children, eventhe goodliest, are mine. 

4 And the king of Israel answered and said, 
IVIy lord, O king, according to tliy saying, I am 
thine, and all that I ha\e. 

5 And the messengers came again, and said. 
Thus speaketh Ben-hadad, saying. Although I 
have sent unto thee, saying, Thou shalt deli\-er 
me thy silver, and thy gold, mid thy wives, and 
thy children ; 

6 Yet I will send my servants unto thee to- 
morrow about this time, and they shall search 
thine house, and the houses of thy senants ; 
and it shall be, that whatsoe\-er is + pleasant ir. 
thine eyes, they shall put it in their hand, and 
take it away. 

7 Then die king of Israel called ail the "^ elders 
of the land, and said, Mai-k, 1 pray you, and see 
how this;72(3'?z seeketh mischaef : for he sent unto 
me for my -wives, and for my children, and for my 
silver, and for my gold ; and 1 1 denied him no:. 

8 And alL the eiders and all the people said 
unto him. Hearken not unto him, nor consen:. 

9 Wherefore he said unto the messengers ol 
Ben-hadad, Tell my lord the king, Ail that tlioi . 
didst send for to thy servant at the iii-si I \vill do : 
but this thing I may not do. And the messeii- 
gers departed, and brought him word again.

' The gods do so unto me, and more also, if the

Belial, and sat before him : and the men of Be- 
lial \^atnessed against him, e^e7i against Naboth, 
in the presence of the people, saying, Naboth 
did blaspheme God and the king. " Then they 
carried him forth out of the citj', and stoned 
him with stones, that he died. 

14 Then they sent to Jezebel, saying, Naboth 
is stoned, and is dead. 

15 1[And it came to pass, ^\"hen Jezebel heard 
that Naboth was stoned, and was dead, that 
Jezebel saidto Ahab, Arise, "take possession of 
the vineyard of Naboth the Jezreelite, which 
he refused to gi^e thee for money : for Naboth 
is not alive, but dead. 

16 ^And it came to pass, when Ahab heard 
that Naboth %\ as dead, that Ahab rose up to go 
doM'n to the vineyaixl of Naboth the Jezreelite, 
to take possession of it.

Israel, v. hich h in *■ Samaria : behold, he is in 
the vineyard of Naboth, \vhither he is gone 
down to possess it. 

19 And thou shalt speak unto him, saying. 
Thus saith the Lord, Hast thou killed, and 
also taken possession ? And thou shalt speak unto 
him, saying. Thus saith the Lord, * In the place 
where dogs licked the blood of Naboth shall 
dogs lick thy blood, even thine. 

20 And Ahab said to Elijah, *Hast thou found 
me, O mine enemy ? And he ans\\ered, I have 
found thee^ : because thou hast sold thyself to 
work evil in the sight of the Lord. 

21 Behold, ** I will bring eiil upon thee, and 
will take away thy posterity, and will cut off 
from Ahab ■" him that pisseth against the ^vall, 
and "him that is shut up and left in Israel, 

22 And will make tliine house like the house 
of y Jeroboam, the son of Nebat, and like the 
house of ^Baasha the son of Ahijah, for the 
provocation wherev.ith thou hast provoked me 
to anger, and made Israel to sin. 

23 And ''of Jezebel also spake the Lord, 
saying. The dogs shall eat Jezebel by the || wall 
of Jezreel.

dogs shall eat ; and him that dieth in the field 
shall the foA\is of the air eat.

stiiTcd up.

idols, according to all things as did the '^ Amo-

27 And it came to pass, Vvhen Ahab heard 
those \\ords, that he rent his clothes, ^and put

2 And it came to pass in the third year, that 
^ Jehoshaphat the king of Judah came doAvn to 
the king of Israel. 

3 And the king of Israel said unto his ser- 
\-ants. Know ye that "^ Ramoth in Gilead is our's, \^^^ 
and we be \ still, and taJce it not out of the hand V HeV 
of the king of S\-ria? 

4 And he said unto Jehoshaphat, Wilt thou 
go Avith me to battle to Ramoth-gilead ? And 
Jehoshaphat said to the king of Israel, ^ I am as \!^^^^ 
thou art, my people as thy people, my horses as 

thy horses. 

5 And Jehoshaphat said unto the king of Is- 
rael, Enquire, I pra3'- thee, at the ^vord of tlie 
Lord to-day. 

6 Then the king of Israel gathered the ^ pro- |gSee^chap. 
phets together, about four hundi^ed men, and 

said unto tliem. Shall I go against Ramoth- 
gilead to batde, or shall I foi-beai-'?_ xVnd they 
said. Go up ; for the Lord shall deliver it into 
the hand of the king. 

7 And Jehoshaphat said, ^ Is there not here a ^ ^^^^ 
prophet of the Lord besides, that we might * • 
enquire of him ? 

8 And the king of Israel said unto Jehosha- 
phat, There is j^et one man, Micaiah the son of 
Imlah : by whom ^ve may enquire of the Lord : 

2 but I hate liim ; for he doth "^ not prophesy good fi^^'^P- 
concerning me, but evil. And Jehoshaphat said, hisa-is,!. 
Let not the king say so. 

9 Then the king of Israel called an || officer, s or, 
and said, Hasten hither Micaiah the son of Imlah. ^"""^'^ 

10 And the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat

him horns of iron: and he said, Thus saith the 
Lord, With these shalt thou push the SjTians, 
until thou have consumed them. 

12 And all the prophets prophesied so, saying, 
Go up to Ramoth-gilead, and ' prosper : for the 
Lord shall deUver it into the king's hand. 

13 And the messenger that \\-as gone to call 
Micaiah spake unto him, saying, Behold now,

the king A\"ith one mouth : let thy word, I pray 
thee, be like the word of one of them, and speak 
that luhic/i is good.

Micaia/i's prophecy against Ahab. I. KINGS, 

15 11 So he came to the king. And the king said 
unto him, iNlicaiah, shall we go against Ranioth- 
gilead to battle, or shall we forbear? And he an- 
swered him, Go "and prosper: for die Lord 
shall deliver // into the hand of die king. 

16 And the king .said unto him, flow many 
times shall p I adjure thee that thou tell me 
nothing but that ivhich is true in the name of 
the Lord ? 

17 And he said, I saw all Israel "^ .scattered upon 
the hills, as sheep that have not a shepherd: and 
ihe Lord said, These have no master: let them 
return everj^ man to his house in peace. 

18 And the king of Israel said imto Jehosha- 
phat. Did I not tell thee that he would prophesy 
no good concerning me, but evil'? 

19 And he said, Hear thou therefore the word 
of the Lord : ' 1 saw the Lord sitting on his 
throne, and all * the host of heaven standing by 
him on his right hand and an his left. 

20 And the Lord said, Who shall || persuade 
Ahab, that he may go up and fall at Ramoth- 
gilead '? And one said on this manner, and ano- 
ther said on that manner. 

21 And there came forth a spirit, and stood 
before the Lord, and said, I will persuade 
him. 

2Sf And the Lord said unto him, Where- 
w idi ? And he said, I \\ ill go forth, and I m ill 
l)e a lying spirit in the mouth of iill his prophets. 
And he said, ' Thou shalt persuade him, and pre- 
also: go forth, and do so.

24 Kut Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah went 
near, and smote Micaiah on the cheek, and .said, 
"Which way went the Spirit of the Lord from

in peace, 'the Lord hath not spc)ken by me. 
And he said, Hearken, O people, everj- one 
of you. 

29 So the king of Israel and Jehoshai)liat the

whom Ahaziah sent to apprehend him: \Z he 
pitieth the third captain, a?id, encouraged by an 
angel, telleth the king of his death. Vi Jehoram 
succeedeth Ahaziah. 

THEN *Moab rebelled against Israel ''after 
the death of Ahab. 
2 T[ And Ahaziah fell doMn through a 
lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, 
"^ and was sick : and he sent messengers, and said 
unto them. Go, enquire of Baal-zebub the god 
of "^ Eki'on, ^vhether I shall recover of this disease. 

3 But the angel of the Lord said to Elijah the 
Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers 
of the king of Samaiia, and say luito them. Is it 
not because there is not a God in Israel, that y& 
go to enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron ? 

4 Now therefore thus saith the Lord, f Thou 
shalt not come down from that bed on which 
thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. And 
Elijah departed. 

5 If And when the messengers turned back 
unto him, he said unto them, AA'hy are ye now 
turned back ? 

6 And they said unto him, ^ There came a 
man up to meet us, and said unto us. Go, turn 
again unto the king that sent you, and say unto 
him, Thus saith the Lord, Is it not because 
there is not a God in Israel, that thou sendest to 
enquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron ? there- 
fore thou shalt not come down from that bed on 
which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die. 

7 And he said unto them, f What manner of 
man was lie which came up to meet you, and 
told you these words '? 

8 And they ans^\■ered him. He was ^an hairy 
man, and girt with a girdle of ieather_ about his 
loins. And he said, It is Elijah the Tishbite. 

9 Then the king sent unto him a captain of 
fifty ^vith his fifty. And he Avent up to him : 
and, behold, he sat on the top of ar.^ hill. And 
he spake unto him. Thou man of God, the 
king hath said. Come down. 

10 And Elijah answered and said to the cap- 
tain erf" fifty, If \be'Ci man of God, ^then let fire

come down from hea\'en, and consume thee 
and thy fifty. And there came down fire from 
heaven, and consumed him and his fifty. 

1 1 Again also he sent unto him another cap- 
tain of fifty with his fifty. And he answered 
and said unto him, O man of God, ^thus hath ^ ^ 
the king said. Come down quickly. ". k,^ 

12 And Elijah answered and said unto them, 
Vi\be 2i man of God, let fire come doivn from 
heaven, and consume thee and thy fiftj-. And 
the fire of God came doA\-n from hea\en, and 
consumed liim and his fiftj*. 

13 •[[ And he sent ' again a captain of the third ' ver. u.

■went up, and came and t fell on his knees before tHeb. 
Elijah, and besought him, and said unto him, G i'iS w.23 
man of God, I pray thee, let my life, and the life of 
these fifty thy serv^ants, be ^ precious in thy sight. ^ 1 sam. 

14 Behold, there came fire down from hea- 
ven, and burnt up the two captains of the fomier 
fifties with their fifties: therefore let my life 
now be precious in thy sight. 

15 And the angel of the Lord said unto 
Elijah, Go down vrith him: ^be not afraid of J J^'"- 
him. And he arose, and went down with him '^'^' 
unto the king. 

16 And he said unto him, Thus saith the 
Lord, Forasmuch as tliou hast sent messen-

AKD it came to pass, when the Lord would 
^ take up Elijah Into hea\en by a whirlwind, 
that Elijah >vent with •'Elisha from Gilgal. 

2 And Elijah said unto Elisha, "= Tarry here, 
I pnty thee: for the Lord hath sent me to 
HethAl. And Elisha said unto him. As the 
Lord liveth, and "-^as thy soul liveth, I will not 
leave thee. So they went down to Bcth-el. 

3 And the sons of the prophets that ivere at 
Beth-el came foith to Elisha, and said unto 
him, Knowest thou that the Lord will take 
aA\ ay thy master from thy head to-day "? And he 
said, Yea, I know it ; hold ye your peace. 

4 And Elijah said unto him, Elisha, tarrj- 
here, I pray thee; for the Lord hath sent me 
to Jericho. And he said. As the Lord liveth, 
and as thy soul liveth, I will not leave thee. So 
they came to Jericho. 

5 And the ' sons of the prophets that ivere at 
Jericho came to Elisha, and said unto him, 
Knowest thou that the Lord will take away 
thy master from thy head to-day ? And he an- 
swtred. Yea, I know it ; hold ye your peace. 

6 And I'^lijah said unto him, Tarr\-, I pray thee, 
here ; for the Lord hath sent me to Jordan. And 
he said, ^As the Lord liveth, and as thy soul li\'- 
ctli, I will not lea^-e thee. And they two went on. 

7 And fifty men of the sons of the prophets 
went, and stood fto view afar off: and they 
X.\\o stood b>' Jordan. 

8 And Elijah took his mantle, and wrapped it 
together, and smote the waters, and ' they were 
di\ided hither luid thither, so that they two 
\vent o\er on dr>- ground. 

9 1[ And it came to pass, when they Avere gone 
over, that l^lijah said unto Elisha, Ask what I 
shall do for thee, before I be taken a^vay from 
thee. And P^lisha said, 1 pray thee, let a double 
portion of thy spirit be upon me. 

10 .Vnd he said, j Thou hast asked a hard 
thing : nevertheless, if" thou see me what I am 
taken from thee, it shall be so unto thee ; but 
if not, it shall not be ^0. 

11 And ii came to pass, as they still went on, 
and talked, that, behold, ''///tr/t'a/;/jfrt;Wa chariot 
of fire, and horses of fire, and piuted them both 
asunder ; and ' Elijah went up by a A\hirh\ ind 
into heaven. 

12 H And Elisha saw /V, and he cried, ''My 
father, my father, the chariot of Israel, and the 
horsdiien thereof. And he 'saw him no more: 
and he took hold of his own clothes, imd rent 
them in two pieces. 

13 He tc;ok up al.so the mantle of P'lijah tliat 
fell from him, and went back, luid stood by the 
I bank of JorcUm; 

14 -\nd he took the mantle of Elijah that 
ii II froirj him, and "" smote the waters, and said, 
VVheie is the Loud God of Elijah? and when 
he also had smi-.ten the waters, they parted 
hither iiiid thither : and Elisha went over.

° The .spirit of Elijah doth rest on Elisha. And 
they came to meet him, luid bowed themselves „ ver 7 
to the ground before him. o veweJ 

16 And they said unto him, Behold now, '•"■ 
there be with thy servants fiftj^ f strong men ; let ^"'^;4"' 
them go, we pray thee, and seek tliy master : lest 
peradventure the Spirit of the Lord hath taken 
him up, and cast him upon f some mountain, or ^".^j^, 
into some valley. .rVnd he said, Ye shall not send. ««>«''""«. 

17 And w hen they ui-ged him till he was isI^uT 
ashamed, he said. Send. They sent thei-efore acmb.^?.' 
fifty men ; and they sought three days, but 
found him not. 

18 And \\hen they came again to him, (for 
he tarried at Jericho,) he said unto them, ''Did pver.ip. 
I not say unto you. Go not '? 

19 If And the men of the city said unto Elisha, 
Behold, I pray thee, the situation of this citv 
is pleasant, as my lord seeth : but the water is 
naught, and the ground t barren. t wj. 

20 And he said, Bring me a new cruse, and ^""a"4.^| 
put salt therein. And they brought it to him. 

21 And he went forth unto the spring of the 
waters, and cast the salt in there, and said, 
Thus saith the Lord, "^ I ha\e healed these q Exod. 
waters ; there shall not be from thence anj' more s« chap. 
death or biUTcn land. <• *^ 

22 So the waters were healed unto this day, 
according to the saying of Elisha w hich he spake. 

23 T[ And he went up from thence unto ''Beth- rAmoss.s,

came forth = little children out of the citj-, and s Pro». 
' mocked him, and said unto him, Go up, thou fjo"io.j

And there came forth t\\ o she-lpears out of the "• "•

5 But it came to pass, m hen^x\hab was dead, 
that the king of Moab rebelled against the king 
of Israel. 

6 li And king Jehoram A^'ent out of Samaria 
the same tinie, and ^numbered all Israel. 

7 And he AAent and sent to Jehoshaphat the 
king of Judah, saj'ing, The king of Moab hath 
rebelled against me : wilt thou go Avith me 
against Moab to battie ? And he said, I \\'ill go 
up : ''I am as thou art, my people as thj' people, 
and my horses as tliy horses. 

8 And he said, Which way shall we go up ? 
,\nd he aiis^ered. The waj' through the w'A-

9 So the king of Israel \\-ent, and the king ^ of 
Judah, and the king of Edom : and they fetch- 
ed a compass of seven days' journey : aixl there 
Avas no v.ater for the host, and for the cattle 
t that follo\^ed them. 

10 And the king of Israel said, Alas ! that the 
Lord hath called these tliree kings together, 
to deliver them into the hand of Moab ! 

1 1 But Jehoshaphat said, ' Is there not here a 
prophet of the Lord, that we may enquire of 
the Lord by him'? And one of the king of 
Israel's serAants answered and said. Here is 
Elisha the son of Shaphat, which poured w^Xsx 
on the hands of Elijah. 

12 And Jehoshaphat said, " The Avord of the 
Lord is Avith him. So the king of Israel and 
Jehoshaphat and the king of Edom " w^wX down 
to him. 

13 And Elisha said unto the king of Israel, 
° What haAC I to do A\"ith thee "? get thee to the 
prophets of thy father, and to the ^^ prophets of' 
thy mother. And the king of Israel said unto 
him. Nay : for the Lord hath called these three 
kings together, to deU\er them into the liand 
of Moab. 

14 And Elisha said, '^As the Lord of hosts 
liACth, before whom I stand, surely, \vere it not 
that I regard the presence of Jehoshaphat the 
king of Judah, I \vould not look towai'd thee, 
nor see thee. 

15 But now bring me a ''minstrel. And it 
came to pass, when the minstrel played, *that 
the hand of the Lord came upon him. 

16 And he said. Thus saith the Lord, * Make 
this valley full of ditches. 

17 For thus saith the Lord, Ye shall not see 
wind, neither shall ye see rain ; j-et that valley 
shall be filled A\ith water, that ye may drink, 
both j'e, and your cattle, and your beasts. 

18 And this is but a light thing in the sight 
of the Lord : he will deliAcr the Moabites also 
into your hand. 

19 And ye shall smite ^\zr\' fenced city, and 
eAerj- choice city, and shall fell CA'ery good tree, 
and stop all A\ells of Avater, and f mar every- 
good piece of land with stones.

Gehazi came near to thrust her away. And the 
man of God said. Let her alone ; for her soul 
is t vexed within her: and the Lord hath "hid 
it from me, and hath not told me. 

28 Then she said, * Did I desire a son of my

29 Then he said to Gehazi, *Gird up thy loins, 
and take my staff in thine hand, and go thy

and if any salute thee, answer him not again : 
and lay my * staff upon the face of the child.

CHAP. V. 
1 Naaman., by the report of a captive maid., is sent 
to Samaria to he cured of his leprosy. 8 Elisha 
sending him to Jordan, cureth him: 15 Jie re- 
fusing Naaman^ s gifts, granteth him some of the 
earth. 20 Gehazi, abusing his master^ s name 
unto Naaman, is smitten ivith leprosy. 

OW "^ Naaman, captain of the host of the 

king of Syria, was a '' great m^an f \\ith his 

master, and il f honourable, because by him the 

Lo R D had gi'ven |i deliverance unto SjTia : he was 

also a mighty man in valour, but he was a leper. 

2 And the Sj'rians had gone out by compa- 
nies, and had brought away captive out of the 
land of Israel a little maid ; and she f waited on 
Naaman' s wife. 

3 And she said unto her mistress. Would God 
my lord were j with the prophet that is in Sama- 
ria ! for he would f recover him of his leprosj-. 

4 And one went in, and told his lord, saying, 
Thus and thus said the *= maid that is of the land 
of Israel. 

5 And the king of SjTia said. Go to, go, and 
I will send a letter unto the king of Israel. And 
he departed, '^and took f with him ten talents oi 
silver, and six thousdLiid pieces of gold, *and ten 
changes of raiment. 

6 And he brought the letter to the king of Is- 
rael, saying. Now when this letter is come unto 
thee, behold, I have therewith sent Naaman my 
servant to thee, that thou maj^est recover him of 
his leprosy. 

7 And it came to pass, when the king of Israel 
had read the letter, that he rent.his clothes, and 
said, ^ A?7i I God, to kill and to make alive, that 
this man doth send unto me to recover a man 
of his leprosy ? wherefore consider, I pray you, 
and see how he seeketh a ^ quarrel against me. 

8 f[ And it was so, when Elisha the man of 
God had heard that the king of Israel had rent 
his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying. 
Wherefore hast thou rent thy clothes ? let him 
come now to me, and he .shall know that there 
is a '^ prophet in Israel. 

9 So Naaman came with his horses and with 
his chariot, and stood at the door of the house 
of Elisha. 

10 And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, 
ijoiui9.7. saying, Go and 'wash in Joi;dan seven times, 

and thy flesh shall come again unto thee, and 
thou shalt be clean. 

11 But Naaman was \\roth, and went away, 
and said. Behold, f || I thought, He will surely 
come out to m.e, and stand, and call on the 
name of the Lord his God, and f strike his 
hand over the place, and recover the leper. 

12 Are not || Abana and P]iar}3ar, rivers of 
Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel ? 
may I not wash in them, and be clean ? So he 
turned and went away in a rage.

13 And his servants came near, and spake chrTst

he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean ? 

14 Then went he down, and dipped himself

urged him to take it: but he refused. 

17 And Naaman said. Shall there not then, I u^i"' 
pray thee, be given to thy servant two mules, lofs'!'^""' 
burden of earth? for thy servant will henceforth ^^^J; 
ofter neither bumt-offering nor sacrifice unto 
other gods, but unto the Lord. 

18 In this thing the Lord pai'don thy servant, 
that when my master goeth into the house of Rim- 
raon to worship there, and he ""leaneth on my 5 chap, 
hand, and I bow myself in the house of Rimmon f'^'^'- 
wheni bow down myself inthe house ofRimmon, 

the Lord pai'don thy servant in this thing. 

19 And he said unto him, Go in peace. So he 
departed from him f a little way. 

20 T[ But Gehazi, the servant of Elisha the man tl^^l-p.,,, 
of God, said. Behold, mymaster hath spared Naa- fj''^"''' 
man this Syrian, in not receiving at his' hands that ^Hie^"' 
wiaich he brought: but, ^ as the Lord Hveth, I 'Verseie, 
will run after him, and take somewdiat of him. 

21 So Gehazi follow^ed after Naaman. And 
when Naaman saw him running after him, he 
lighted down from the chariot to meet him, and 
said, t/^ainvell? l«l^-^ 

22 And he said, All is well. My master hath '"""^ 
sent me, saying, Behold, even now^ there be 
come to me from mount Ephraim two yourag 

men of Hhe sons of the prophets: give them, I «chaP'2-3. 
pray thee, a talent of silver, and two changes'of *' '^^' 
garments. 

23 And Naaman said, Be content, take two 
talents. And he urged him, and bound tw o "ta- 
lents of silver in t^vo bags, w ith two changes of 
garments, and laid t/u^m upon two of his ser- 
vants ; and they bare t/iem before him. 

24 And when he came to the \\ tower, he took 
thetn from their hand, and bestowed them in the 
house : and he let the men go, and they departed. 

25 But he went in, and stood before his mas- 
ter: and Elisha said unto him, Whence cofiiesi 
thou, Gehazi? and he said, Thy servant went 
t no whither. 

26 And he said unto him, Went not mine 
heart ivith thee, ^ when the man turned again 
from his chiu-iot to meet thee ? Is it a time to re- 
cei\'e money, and to receive garments, and olive- 
\'ards, and A-ineyards, and sheep, and oxen, and 
men-servants, and maid-servants ? 

27 The leprosy therefore of Naaman shall x see

3 And one said, Be content, I pray thee, and

4 So he went with them. ^Vnd when thej 
came to Jordan, they cut down wood. 

5 But as one was felling " a beam, the f axe 
head fell into the water : and he cried, and said, 
Alas, master ! for it was borrowed. 

6 And the man of God said, Where fell it ? 
And he .shewed biim the place. And he cut down a 
stick , and "* cast it in thither ; and the iron did swim. 

7 Therefore said he, Take it up to thee. And 
he put out his hand, and took it. 

8 Then the king of Syria wiured against Is- 
rael, and 'took counsel w ith his sei-vants, saying. 
In such and such a place s/iall be my || camp. 

9 And the man of God sent unto the king of 
Israel, saying, Beware that thou pass not such a 
place ; ^for thither the Syrians are come down. 

10 And tlu king of Israel sent to the place which 
the man of God told him and w arncd him of, 
and saved himself there, not once nor twice. 

1 1 Therefore the heart of the king of Syria was 
sore troubled for Uiis thing ; ancl he called his 
servants, and said unto them, Will ye not shew 
me ^\hich of us is for the king oflsrael"? 

12 And one of his servants said, t None, my

13 And he said, Go, ''and spy where he is, 
that I may send and fetch him. And it was tolcl

14 Therefore sent he thidier horses, and cha-

and compassed the city about. 

15 And when the ll servant of the man of God 
was risen early, and gone ftn-th, behold, an ho.si

17 And Klisha pr.iyed, and said. Lor d, I pray

LoKD opened the eyes of the young man ; ;uid 
he .saw: and, behold, the mountain was full "of

A great famine in Samaria. 



18 And when they came down to him, Elisha 
prayed unto the Lord, and saiel, Smite this 
pLople, I pray thee, with blindness. And he 
"smote them with blindness accorcUng to the 
word of Elisha. 

19 If And Elisha said unto them, This is nc;t 
the way, neither is this the city : f follow mc, 
and I w ill bring you to the niiui w hom ye seek. 
But he led them to Samiu*ia. 

20 Aiielit came to pass, when they were come 
into Samaria, that Elisha said. Loan, open the 
eyes of these men, that they may see. And the 
Lord openeel their eyes, and they saw; and, be- 
hold, tlwy were in the mielst of Samaria. 

21 And the king of Israel said unto Elisha, 
wlien he saw them, ° My father, shall I sn\ite 
them ? shall I smite them ? 

22 And he answered, Thou shalt not smite 
them: wouldest thou smite those w hom thou hast 
taken captive with thy sword and w ith thy bow? 
•'set bread and water before them, that they may 
eat and drink, anel go to their master. 

23 And he prepared great provision for them : 
and when they had eaten and drunk, he sent 
them away, and they went to their master. ^So 
the bands of Syria came no more into the land 
of Israel. 

24 H And it came to pass after this, ' that Bcn- 
hadad king of Syria gathered all his host, and 
went up, and besieged Samaria. 

25 And there was a great famine in Samaria : 
and, behold, they besiegeel it, until an ass's head 
was sold for fourscore pieces of silver, and the 
fourth part of a cab of dove's dung for five 
pieces of siher. 

26 Anel as the king of Israel was passing by 
upon the wall, there cried a woman unto him, 
saying. Help, my lord, O king. 

27 And he said, || If the Lord do not help 
thee, whence shall I help thee ? out of the barn- 
floor, or out of the wine-press"? 

28 And the king said unto her. What aileth 
thee ■? and she answ ered, This w oman said unto 
me, Give thy son, that u e may eat him to-day, 
and we will eat my son to-morrow. 

29 So • we boiled my son, and did eat him : and 
I said unto her on the fnext elay. Give tli^- son, 
that we may eat him : and she hath hid her'son. 

30 1[ Aiid it came to pass, when the king 
heard the words of die woman, that he 'rent his 
clothes; and he passed by upon die wall, and 
the people looked, and, beholel, he had sack- 
cloth within upon his flesh. 

31 Then he said, "God do so and more also 
to me, if the head of Elisha the son of Shaphat 
shall stand on him this day. 

32 But Eli.sha sat in his house, and " the elders 
sat v\ith him; and the king sent a man from be- 
fore him : but ere die messenger came to him, 
he said to the elelcrs, " See ye how this son of a 
''murelerer hath sent to take away mine head? 
look, when the messenger cometh, shut die eloor, 
and hold him fast at the door : is not the sound 
of his master's feet behind him ?

CHAP. VH. 
1 Elisha prop hesitth incredible plenty in Samaria. 
3 Four lepers venturing oti the host of the Syri- 
a7is, bring tidings of their fight. 12 The king 
finding by spies the news to be true, spoileth the 
tents of the Syrians. 17 The lord, who would not 
believe theprop/uxy of plenty, having the charge 
efthe gate, is trodden to death in the press. 

THEN Elisha said^ Hear j-e the \\ ord of the 
Lord; Thus saith the Lord, * To-mor- 
row about this time shall a measure of fine flour 
be sold for a shekel, and two measures of barley 
for a shekel, in the gate of Samaria. 

2 Then t a lord on whose hand the king lean- 
ed answered the man of God, and said, Behold, 
^ if the Lord would make windows in heaven, 
might this thing be ? And he said, Behold, thou 
shalt see it with thine eyes, but shalt not eat 
thereof. 

3 "Ii And there were four '^ leprous men at the 
entering in of the gate : and they said one to 
another, WTiy sit we here until we die ? 

4 If we say. We will enter into the city, then 
the famine is in the city, and we shall die there : 
and if we sit still here, we die also. Now^ there-

SjTians : if they save us alive, we shall live ; and 
if they kill us, "^ we shall but die. 

5 And' they rose up in the t^\alight, to go un- 
to the camp of the Syrians : and \\iien they were 
come to the uttermost part of the camp of Syria, 
behold, there was no man there. 

6 For the Lord had made the host of the 
Syrians to hear a * noise of chaiiots, and a noise 
of horses, even the noise of a great host : and 
they said one to another, Lo, the king of Israel 
hath hired against us the ^ kings of the Hittites, 
and the kings of the Egyptians, to come upon us. 

7 Wherefore they arose and ^ fled in the twi- 
light, and left their tents, and their horses, and 
their asses, even the camp as it was, and fled 
for their life. 

8 And when these lepers came to the utter- 
most part of the camp, they went into one tent, 
and did eat and drink, and carried thence silver, 
and gold, and raiment, and went and hid it; and 
came again, and entered into another tent, and 
carried thence also, and went and hid it. 

9 Then they said one to another, We do not 
well: this day w a day of good tidings, and we 
hold our peace: if we tarry till the morning 
light, t some mischief will come upon us : now 
therefore, come, that we may go and tell the 
king's household. 

10 So they came and called unto the porter of 
the city: and they told him, saying. We came 
to the ^ camp of the SjTians, and, behold, there 
was no man there, neither voice of man, but 
horses tied, and asses tied, and the tents as they 
were. 

11 And he called the porters; and they told it 
to the king's house within.

Philistines: and slie ^ent forth to cry unto tlie 
king for her house and for her land. 

4 And the king talked with 'Gchazi the ser-

thee, all the great things diat hli.sha hadi done. 

5 And it came to pass, as he m as telling the 
king "*ho\\ he had restored a dead body to life, 
that, behold, the woman, whose son he had re- 
stored to lile, ciied to die king for her liouse and 
for her land. And Gehazi said, IVIy lord, O

4 So the young man, e~oen the young man the 
^prophet, went to Ramoth-gilead. 

5 And when he came, behold, the captains 
of the host "Were sitting ; and he said, I have 
an eiTand to thee, O captain. And Jehu said. 
Unto which of all us? And he said, To thee, O 
captain. 

6 And he arose, and went into the house ; 
and he poured the oil on his head, and said unto 
him, ^Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, I 
have anointed thee king over the people of the 
Lord, even over Israel. 

7 And thou shalt smite the house of Ahab thy 
master, that I may avenge the blood of my ser- 
vants the prophets, and the blood of all the ser- 
vants of the Lord, ^ at the hand of Jezebel. 

8 For the whole house of Ahab shall perish : 
and ^ I will cut off from Ahab him that*pisseth 
against the wall, and him that is shut up and 
left in Israel : 

9 And I will make the house of Ahab like the 
house of ' Jeroboam the son of Nebat, and like 
the house of *^ Baasha the son of Ahijah : 

10 And ' the dogs shall eat Jezebel in the por- 
tion of Jezreel, and there shall be none to bury 
her. And he opened the door, and fled. 

1 1 If Then Jehu came forth to the servants of 
his lord : and one said unto him, Is all well ? 
wherefore came "^ this rm.d/ellow to thee ? And 
he said unto them. Ye know the man, and his 
communication. 

12 And they said, It is false; tell us now. 
And he said, Thus and thus spake he to me, 
saying. Thus saith the Lord, I have anointed 
thee king over Israel. 

_ 13 Then they hasted, and " took every man 
his garment, and put it under him on the top 
of the stairs, and blew with trumpets, saying, 
Jehu t is king. 

14 So Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat the son of 
Nimshi conspired against Joram. (Now Joram 
had kept Ramoth-gilead, he and all Israel, be- 
cause of Hazael king of Syria. 

15 But ° king f Joram was returned to be 
healed in Jezreel of tire ^vounds %\-hich the 
SjTians f had given him, when he fought with 
Hazael king of Syria. ) And Jehu said, If it be 
your minds, theji f let none go forth ?wr escape 
out of the citj' to go to tell it in Jezreel. 

16 So Jehu rode in a chariot, and i\-ent to 
Jezreel ; for Joram lay there. *" And Ahaziah 
king of Judah was come down to see Joram. 

17 Aiid there stood a watchman on the ^ tower 
in Jezreel, and he spied the company of Jehu as 
he came, and said, I see a company. And Joram 
said, Take an horseman, and send to meet them, 
and let him say. Is it peace '? 

18 So there went one on horseback to meet 
him, and said^ 

And Jehu said, "" What hast 
peace? turn thee behind m.c. And the watch- 
man told,, saying, Tire messenger came to them, 
but he Cometh not again. 

19 Then he sent out a second on horseback, 
which came to them, and said, Thus suith the

king, /yzi? peace? And Jehu answered,^ What 
hast thou to do with peace ? turn thee behind me. 

20 And the watchman told, saying. He came 
even vmto them, and cometh not again : and the 
!l driving is like the driving of Jehu the son ol 
Nimshi ; for he driveth f furiously. 

21 And Joram said, t Make ready. And his 
chariot was made ready. ^And Joi^am king ol 
Israel and Ahaziah king of Judah went out, 
each in his chariot, and they went out against 
Jehu, and f met him in the portion of * Naboth 
the Jezreelite. 

22 And it came to pass, when Joram saw 
Jehu, that he said, Is zV peace, Jehu? And he 
answered, ^^"hat peace, so long as the " whore- 
doms of thy mother Jezebel and her witchcrafts 
are so manj^ 

23 And Joram turned his hands, and fied, and 
said to Ahaziah, T/iere w treachery , O Ahaziah. 

24 And Jehu "^ f drev»- a bow with his full 
strength, and smote Jehoram between his arms, 
and die arron^ ^^•ent out at his heart, and he 
t sunk down in his chariot. 

25 Then said yehu to Bidkar his captain. 
Take up, and cast him ^ in the jxirtion of the 
field of Naboth the Jezreelite : for remember 
how that, Avhen I and thou rode together after 
Ahab his father, * the Lord laid this burden 
upon him ; 

26 Surely I have seen yesterday the f blood of 
Naboth, and the blood of his sons, saith the 
Lord; and I will '' requite thee in this |1 plat, 
saith the Lord. Now therefore take and cast 
him into the plat oj" ground, according to the 
word of the Lord. 

27 IF But when Ahaziah the king of Judah 
saw this, he fled by the way of the garden house. 
And Jehu follo-\\'ed after him, and said. Smite 
him also in the chariot. "And they did so at the 
going up to Gur, which is by Ibleam. And he 
fled to Megiddo, and died there. 

28 And his "^ servants canied him in a chariot 
to Jerusalem, and buried him in his sepulchre 
with his fathers in the city of David. 

29 And in the eleventh year of Joram the son 
of Ahab began Ahaziah to reign over Judah. 

50 Tl And when Jehu was come to Jezreel, 
Jezebel heard of it ; and she f painted her face, 
and tired her head, and Ixjoked out at a win- 
dow. 

3 1 And as Jehu entered in at the gate, she 
said. Had Zimri peace, who sle\A" his master ? 

32 And he lifted up his face to the '\vindo\\-, and 
said. Who is on my side? who? And there 
looked out to him two or three || eunuchs. 

33 And he said, Thi'ow her down. So they 
thrcAv her down : and some of her blood \'v"as 
sprinkled on the wall, and on the horses : and he 
trode her urider foot. 

34 And when he was come in, he did eat and 
drink, and said. Go, see now this cursed ivoman, 
iurd bury her : ^ for she is a king's daughter. 

35 And they ^v ent to bury her : but they found 
no more of her than the skull, and the feet, and

that he might destroy the woi shippers of Baal. 

20 And Jehu said, f Proclaim a solemn as-

the giiai-d and the captains cast them out, and 
%\ent to the ciiy of the house of Baal. 

26 And they brought forth the f images out 
of the house of Baal, and burned them, 

27 iVnd they brake do-ivn the image of Baal, 
and brake dov.n the house of Baal, and *= made it 
a draught-house unto this day. 

28 Thus Jehu destroyed Baal out of Israel. 

29 H Ho^vbeit, \froi)i the sins of Jeroboam the 
son of Nebat, ■v\ho made Israel to sin, Jehu de- 
parted not from after them, toivit, the golden 
cal^-es that \vere in Beth-el, and that were in Dan. 

30 And the Lord said unto Jehu, Because 
thou hast done Avell in executing that which is 
right in mine eyes, and hast done iinto the house 
of Ahab according to all that was in mine heart, 
thy ^ children of the fouith gmeration shall sit on 
the throne of Israel. 

31 But Jehu t took no heed to walk in the 
law of the Lord God of Israel with all his 
heart : for he departed ^ not from die sins of Je- 
roboam, which made Israel to sin. 

32 ^ In those days the Lord began f to cut 
Israel short : and ^ Hazael smote them in all the 
coasts of Israel ; 

33 From Jordan t eastward, all the land of 
Gilead, the Gadites, and the Reubenites, and 
the Manassites, from Aroer, which is by the

34 Nov.- the rest of the acts of Jehu, and all 
that he did, and all his might,_ are they not writ- 
ten in the book of the chronicles of the kings 
of Israel ? 

35 And Jehu slept with his fathers : and tliey 
buried him in ^ Samaria. And Jehoahaz his son 
reigned in his stead. 

36 And t the time that Jehu reigned o^er 
Israel in Samaria ivas twenty and eight years.

6 But it was so, that f in the tliree and twen-

repaired the breaches of the house.

8 And the priests consented to receive no

bored a hole in the lid of it, and set it beside the

6 Nevertheless, they departed not from the

7 Neither did he lea%-e of tlie people to Jeho-

8 T[Now the rest of the acts of Jehoahaz,

not written in the book of the chronicles of the

9 And Jehoahaz slept with his fathers ; and

10 H In the thiitj' and seventh yeai' of Joash 
king of Judah, began || Jehoash the son of Jeho-

sixteen years.

12 ^ And the rest of the acts of Joash, and ™ all 
that he did, and his _" might \vherewith he fought 
against Amaziali king of Judah, a're they not 
Airitten in the book of the chi-onicles of the

13 And Joash slept with his fathere; and Je-

14 T[ No\v Elisha was fallen sick of his sick- 
ness whereof he died. And Joash the king of 
Israel came do^\'n unto him, and v.ept over his

riot of Israel, and the horsemen thereof. 

15 A.nd Elisha said unto him, Take bow and 
arrows. And he took unto him bow^ and arrows. 

16 And he said to the king of Israel,, t Put 
thine hand u^qn the bow. And he put his hajid 
upon it : and Elisha put his hands upon the king's 
hands- 

17 And he said. Open the window eastward. 
And he opened it. Then Elisha said, Shoot. 
And he shot. ^ And he said, The arrovv of the 
Lord's deliverance, and the arrow- of deliver- 
ance from S^Tia : for thou shall smite the Sj'rians 
in ""Aphek, till thou have consumxcd t/iem. 

18 And he said, Talce the an-ows. And he

Smire upon the ground. And he smote tlii'ice, 
and stajed. 

19 And the man of God -was VAroth with him, 
and said, Thou shouldest have smitten five or 
six times; ^then hadst thou smitten Syria till 
thou hadst consunied it: whereas now thou shalt 
smite Syria but thrice.

1 1 But Amaziah would not hear. There- 
fore Jehoash king of Israel went up ; and he 
and Amaziah king of Judah looked one another 
in tiie face at ' Bcth-shemesh, which belongeth to 
Judah. 

12 And Judah f was put to the worse before 
Israel ; and they Hed every man to their tents. 

13 And Jehoash king of Israel took Amaziah 
king of Judah, the son of Jehoash the son of Aha- 
ziah, at Beth-shcmesh, and came to Jciaisalcm, 
and brake down t!ie wall of Jerusalem from ■" the 
gate of Ephraim unto the " comer gate, four hun- 
dred cubits. 

14 And he took all the "gold and silver, and 
all the vessels that were found in the house of the 
Lord, and in the treasures of the king's house, 
and hostages, and returned to Samaria. 

15 ^ Now the rest of the p acts of Jehoash 
Mhich he did, and his might, and how he 
fought with Amaziali king of Judah, are they 
not wiitten in the book of the chronicles of the 
kings of Israel ? 

16 And Jehoash slept with his fathers, "> and 
was biuied in Samaria with the kings of Israel ; 
and Jeroljoam his son reigned in his stead. 

17 If And ' Amaziah the son of Joash king of 
Jud:\h lived after the death of Jehoash son of 
Jehoahaz king of Israel fifteen years. 

18 And the rest of the acts of Amaziah, arc 
they not written in the book of the clironicles of 
the kings of Judah'? 

19 Now ' they made a conspiracy against him 
in Jerusalem : and he fled to * Lachish ; but 
they sent after him to Lachish, and slew him 
there. 

20 And they brought him on horses : and he 
was buried at Jenisalcm with his fathers in the 
city of Da\ id. 

21 1[ And all the people of Judah took * Aza- 
riah, v. Inch ivas sixteen j'ears old, and made 
him king instead of his father Amaziah. 

22 He built* Klath, and restored it to Judah, 
after that the king slept \\'\l\\ his fathers. 

23 Ti In the fifteenth year of Amaziah the son 
of Joash king of Judah, Jeroboam the son of 
Joash king of Israel began to reign in Samaiia, 
a;?^/ /•m'-7/tY/ forty and one years. 

24 And he did that which was evil in the 
sight of the Lo R D : * he departed not from all the 
sins of Jeroboam the son of Nebat, w ho made 
Israel to sin. 

25 He restored the coast of Israel from ^ the 
enteiing of Hamath unto ' the sea of the phiin, 
according to the \\ord of the Lor n God of Is- 
rael, which he spake by the hand of his ser^■anl 
' Jonah, the son of Amittai, the prophet, m hicli

26 For the * Lord saw the affliction of Israel, 
that it was verj' bitter : "^ for there was not any 
shut up, nor any left, nor any helper for Israel. 



Azariah dieth a leper. 




27 And the Lord said not that he would blot 
out the name of Israel from under hea\cn : but 
' he saved them by the hand of Jeroboam die

7 So Ahaz sent messcnycrs to ' Tiglath-pilcscr

son : come up, and s:»\c me out of the hand of 
tile king of Syria, and out of the hand of the 
king of Israel, ^\ hieh rise up against me. 

8 And Ahaz ^ took the silver and gold that was 
found in the house of the Lord, and in the 
treasures of tlie king's house, and sent it for a 
present to the king of .Assyria. 

9 And the king of Assyria hearkened unto 
him : for the king of Assyria went up against 
t Damascus, and ' took it, and canied the people 
of it capti\c to Kir, and slew Kezin. 

10 ^ Antl king Ahaz went to Damascus to 
meet Tiglath-pile.ser king of Assyria, '"and saw 
an altar tha.t -was at Damascus : and king xVhaz 
sent to Urijah the priest the fashion of the altar, 
and the ])attern of it, according to all the work- 
manshij) thereof. 

1 1 And Urijah the priest " built an altar ac- 
cording to all that king Ahaz had sent from Da- 
mascus : so Urjjali the priest made it against 
king Ahaz came from Damascus. 

12 And when the king was come from Da- 
mascus, the king saw the altar : and the king 
api^roachcd to the altar, and offered thereon. 

13 And he burnt his burnt-ofl'ering and his 
meat-ofliering, and poured his cMnk-oftering, 
and sprinkled the blood off his peace -oftlnings, 
upon the altar. 

14 And he brought also the ° brazen altar, 
P which ivas before the Lord, from the fore- 
front of the house, from bet\vecn the altar and 
the house of the Lord, and put it on the north 
side of the altar, 

15 And king Ahaz commanded Urijah the 
priest, saying, Upon the great altar burn the 
morning bumt-ofiering, and the evening meat- 
oftVring, and the king's burnt-sacrifice, and his 
nieat-oftering, a\ ith the bunit-offeiing of all the 
peojile of the land, and their meat-oflering, 
and their drink-ofterings ; and sprinkle upon it 
all the blood of the bin-nt-offering, luid all the 
blood of the siicrifice : imd the brazen altai" shall 
be for me to enciuire by. 

16 Thus did Urijah the priest, < according to 
all that king /Vhaz connuanded. 

17 1 And king Ahaz cut oft' the borders ' of 
the bases, and remo\ ed the laver fiom off" them ; 
and • took down the sea from oft" the brazen oxen 
that -iverc inider it, and put it upon a pavement 
of stones. 

18 And the co^ert for the sabbath that they 
had built in the house, and the king's enuy 
without, turned he from the house of the 
Lord for the king of Assyria.

he did, are they not written in the book of the

A mixture of religions, CHAP 

p after the heathen that x^iere round about them, 
concerning whom the Lord had chax'ged them, 
that tliey should not do hke them. 

16 And they left all the commandments of 
the Lord their God, and imade them molten 
images, even two calves, and made a grove, and 
worshipped all the host of heaven, ""and served 
Banl. 

17 And ' they caused their sons and their 
daughters to pass through the lire, and ' used di- 
vination and enchantments, and " sold themselves 
to do evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke 
him to anger. 

18 Therefore the Lord was very angry with 
Israel, and removed them out of his sight: there 
was none left but the tribe of Judah only. 

19 "^ Also Judah kept not the commandments 
of the Lord their God, but \\arK.ed hi the sta- 
tutes of Israel which thej^ made. 

20 And the Lord rejected all the seed of Is- 
rael, and afflicted them, and " delivered them in- 
to the hand of spoilers, until he had cast them 
out of his sight. 

21 For yhe rent Israel from the house of Da- 
vid ; and they made ^ Jeroboam the son of Ne- 
bat king : and Jeroboam drave Israel from follow- 
ing the Lord, and made them sin a great sin. 

22 For the children of Israel ^^'alked in all the 
sins of Jeroboam w hich he did ; they departed 
not fiom them ; 

23 Until the Lord * removed Israel out of his 
sight, as he had said bj'' all his servants the pro- 
phets. So was Israel carried aw^ay out of their 
Q-ww land to Ass>'ria unto this day. 

24 It ** And the king of Assyria brought 7nc7i 
from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and from •= Ava, 
and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and 
placed them in the cities of Samai'ia ^ instead of 
the children of Israel : and they possessed Sa- 
mai'ia, and dwelt in the cities thereof. 

25 And so it was at the beginning of their 
dwelling there, that they feai'ed not the Lord : 
therefore the Lord sent lions among them, 
which slew some of tJiem. 

26 Wherefore they spake to the king of Assy- 
ria, saying, The nations ^yhich thou liast remov- 
ed, and placed in the cities of Samaria, know- 
not the manner of the God of the land : there- 
fore lie hath sent lions among them, and, behold, 
they slay them, because they know not the 
manner of the God of the land. 

27 Then the king of Assyria commanded, 
saying, Carry thither ^ one of the priests whom 
ye brought from thence ; and let them go and 
dwell there, and let him teach them the manner 
of the God of the land. 

28 I'hen one of the priests whom they had 
carried a^\'ay from Samaria came and dwelt in 
Beth-el, and taught them how they should feai- 
i.he Lord. 

29 Ho\'. beit, every nation made ''gods of their 
own, and put them in the houses of the high 
places which the Samaritans had made, every 
nation in their cities wherein they dwelt. 

30 And the men of ^ Babylon made Succoth-

benoth, and the men of Cuth made Nergal, and 
the men of Hamath made Ashima, 

31 And the *" Avites made Nibhaz and Tartak, 
and the Sepharvites 'bumt their children in the 
fire to Adrammelech and Anammekch, the gods ^^■^^; 
of Sepharvahn. ^^- *•• 

32 So they feai^ed the Lord, and made unto 
themselves of ''the lowest of them priests of the \^f^^^ 
high places, which sacrificed for them in the 
houses of the high places. 

33 'They feai'ed the Lord, and served their izeph.i.5. 
o^vn gods, after tlie maimer of the nations i| whom i or, 
thev carried aAva\' from thence. ThZaZay 

34 Unto this day they do after the_ former •'■'■'"' "'^«^'- 
mannei's : they fear not the Lord, neither do 

they after their statutes, or after their ordinances, 
or after the law and commandment which the 
Lord commanded the children of Jacob, "whom ".^I'V 
he named Israel ; ss! lo! 

35 With whom the Lord had made a cove- le.slf 
nant, and chai'ged them, saying, "Ye shall notgJ"<is« 
fear other gods, nor bow yourselves to them, nor 

sen e them, nor sacrifice to them : 

2>6 But the Lord, Avho brought j-ou up out 
of the land of Egypt ^vidl great poA\^er " and a <= ekoii, 
stretched-out arm, p him shall ye fear, and him ppg^^ 
shall ye w^orship, and to him shall ye do sacrifice, i"- 12" 

37 And the statutes, and the ordinances, and 
the law, and the commandment which he wrote 
for you, lye shall observe to do for evermore 
and ye shall not fear other gods. 

38 And the covenant that I have made with 
you ye shall ■■ not forget ; neither shall ye feai" •• Deut. 
other gods. ■*• ^• 

39 But the Lord your God ^ye shall fear; « Rev. 15. 4; 
and he shall deliver you out of the hand of all 

j''our enemies. 

40 Howbeit, they did not hearken, but they 
did after their former manner. 

41 So these nations feared the Lord, *andtvertei 
served their grav'en images, both their children, ^^' ^^' 
and their childi'en's children : as did their fathers, 

so do they unto this day.

Hoshea son of Elali king of Israel, i/jat Shalma-

and besieged it. 

10 Ar,d at the end of three jxars they took it : 
evefi in the sixth year of Hezekiali, that is "' the 
ninth year of Hoshea king of Israel, Samaria was 
taken. 

1 1 And tlie king of Assj'ria did " c^rrj- a\\ay 
Israel unto Assyria, and put them in ° Halah. and 
in Habor bt/ the ri\er of Gozan, and in the cities

and i\\\ that Moses the serAant of the Lord 
commiuided, and would not hem- t/ieni, nor do 
t/iem. 

13 % Now '^ in the fourteenth yeai- of king He-

up against ;iil the fenced cities of Judah, and 
took them. 

14 And Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the 
king of Assyria to Laohish, saying, I ha\e offend-

me will I bear. And the king of Assyria appoint- 
ed unto Hezekiah king of Judali three hundred 
talents of silver, and thirty talents of gold. 

15 And Hezekiah gave //im "^all the silvc.r that 
was found in the house of the Lord, and in the 
ticasures of the king's house. 

16 At that time did Hezekiah cut off ///t- go/d

Rab-shakch^s blasphemous outrage 



19 And Rab-shakeh said unto them, Speak ye qS^^t

and hath said to Judah and Jerusalem, Ye shall

23 Now therefore, I pray thee, gi\e || pledges |or,

25 Am I now come up without the Lord

said to me. Go up against this land, and de- 
stioy it. 

26 Then said * Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and « vwc i», 
Shebna, and Joah, unto Rab-shakeh, Speak, I 

pixiy thee, to thy servants in the Syrian lan- 
guage ; for w c imderstand it : and talk not with 
us in the Jews' language in the ears of the peo 
pie that arc on the wall. 

27 But Rab-shakeh said unto them. Hath my 
master sent me to thy master, and to thee, to 
speak these words? hat/i he not sent meio the men 
Avhich sit on the wall, -^that they may eat their achap.

28 Then Rab-shakeh stood and cried \\ith a 'fl'^^J^,'^

AND ^ it came to pass when king Hezekiah 
heard it, that he rent his clothes, and co- 
vered himself with sackcloth, and '' went into the 
hou se of the Lord. 

2 And he sent Eliakim, ■v\hich was over the 
household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders 
of the priests, covei-ed with sackcloth, to ^Isaiah 
the prophet the son of Amoz. 

3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Heze- 
kiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, 
and II blasphemy : '^for the children are come to the 
birth, and there is not strength to bring forth. 

4 * It may be the Lord thy God will hear all 
the words of Rab-shakeh ^whom the king of As- 
syi'ia his master hath sent to reproach the living 
God ; and will ^ reprove the words which the 
Lord thy God hath heard : wherefore lift up thy 
prayer for the remnant that are f left. 

5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to 
Isaiah. 

6 If And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye 
say to your master, ^ Thus saith the Lord, Be 
not afraid of the words which thou hast heard, 
with which the ' servants of the king of Assyria 
have blasjphemed me. 

7 Behold, I ^ will send a blast upon him, and 
he shall herir a rumour, and shall return to his 
own land ; and I will cause him to fall by the 
sword in his own land. 

8 "If So Ral>shakeh returned, and found the 
king of Assyria warring against Libnah : for he 
had heai'd that he was departed from ^ Lachish. 

9 And when he "" heard say of Tirhakah king 
of Ethiopia, Behold, he is come out to fight 
against thee : he sent messengers again unto 
Hezekiah, saying,

arid that I shall go up into the house of the Lord It'.S.

9 And Isaiah said, ' This sign shalt thou have y«!|^ 
of the Lord, that the Lord will do die thing 
that he hath spoken : shall the shadow go for- 

w ard ten degrees, or go back ten degrees V 

10 And Hezekiali answered, It is a light thing 
for the shadow to go down ten degrees : na\-, but 
let the shadow return backwiuu ten degrees. 

11 And Isaiah tl.e prophet cried unto the

MANASSEH ^ was t\vehe years old when

five years in Jerusalem. And his mother's name 
was ^ Hephzi-bah. 

2 And he did that which \vas e\i\ in the sight 
of the Lord, " after tlie abominations of the hea- 
then, whom the Lord cast out before the chil- 
dren of Israel. 

3 For he built up again the high places ^ which 
Hezekiah his father had destroyed; and he reai-ed 
up altars for Baal, and made a gro^e, ^ as did 
Ahab king of Israel ; and worshipped ^ all tlie 
host of heaven, and served them. 

4 And ^ he built altai-s in the house of the 
Lord, of \vhich the Lord said, '^ In Jerusalem 
will I put my name. 

5 And he built altars for all the host of heaAen 
in the two courts of the house of the Lord. 

6 And he ' made his son pass through the fire, 
and ^ observed times, and used inchantments, 
and dealt ^ ^\ith familiar spirits and A\"izards : he 
wrought much wickedness in the sight of the 
Lord, to provoke hijn to anger. 

7 And he set a graven image of the grove 
that he had made in the house, of \^hich tlie 
Lord said to David, and to Solomon his son, 
^ In tills house, and in Jerusalem, which I ha^e 
chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my 
name for ever : 

8 Neither " will I make the feet of Israel mo\e 
any more out of die land ^vhich I gave their fathers; 
only if they will obser\e to do according to all that 
I ha\e commanded tliem, and according to all tlie 
law that my ser\ant Moses commanded them. 

9 But they hearkened not : and ^lanasseh ° se- 
duced them to do more e\"il than did the nations 
whom the Lord desti'oyed before the cliildi-en 
of Israel. 

10 T[ And the Lord spake by his servants the 
prophets, saying,

these abominations, and hath done "^ wickedly 
above all that the Amorites did, which ivere be-

e\ii in my sight, and have provoked me to anger, w-si." 
since the day tlieir fathers came forth out of 
Es^'Tt, e\'en unto this day. 

16 Moreover, =^ Manasseh shed innocent blood za*^^^' 
very much, till he had filled Jerusalem f from t H;b. 
one end to ai .other; beside his sin wherewith ]ie '^^J^ti^'^ 
made Judah to sin., in doing that which was e\ii 

in the sight of the Lord.

was biuied in the garden of his o^mi house, in 643.

when he began to reign, and he reigned two years 

in Jerusalem. And his mother's name was Me- 
shuUemeth, the daughter of Haruz of Jotl^ali. 
_ 20 And he did that '^ which was evil in the 9 ver. 
sight of the Lord, as his father Manasseh did. 

21 And he walked in all the way that liis fa- 
ther walked in, and ser^ ed the idols diat his fa- 
ther ser\ed, and v\-orshipped them : 

22 And he "^forsook die Lord God of his fa-

15 1[ Moreover the altar that xi^as at Beth-el, 
cmd the high place which * Jeroboam the son of 
Nebat, who made Israel to sin, had made, both 
that altar and the high place he brake do-wTi, 
and burned the high jilace, and stamped h "" small 
to powder, and burned the grove. 

16 And as Josiah turned himself, he spied the 
sepulchres that were there in the mount, and 
sent, and took the bones out of the sepulchres, 
and birrned tlievi upon the altar, and polluted it, 
according to the "^wcrd of the Lord which

from Judah, and proclaimed these things that 
thou hast done against the altar of Bcth-el.

cording to all the acts that he had done in Beth-el. 

20 And he || slew all the priests of the high p ^r. 
places that I'oere there upon the altai's, and '^'^H^^f' 
''burned men's bones upon them, and returned 13.2. 
to Jerusalem. 

21 li And the king commanded all the people, 
saying, ^ Keep the passover unto the Lord 
your God, '^ as it is written in the book of this 
covenant. 

22 ^ Surely there was not holden such a pass- 
over from the clays of the judges that juclged^ __ 
Israel, nor in all the days of the kings of Israel, 35:18,19, 
nor of the kings of Judah ; m^i%S' 

23 But in the eighteenth j'ear of king Josiali, xf^^"''- 
ivherein this passover was holden to the Lord 

in Jerusalem. 

24 ^ Moreover, the ^ vjorhers ivith familiar e chap. 
spirits, and the hazards, and the || images, and p or^ 
the idols, and all the abominations that were ^^^,f^'/;"{g^ 
spied in the land of Judah and in Jerusalem, 

did Josiah put away, that he might perform the. 
words of *'the lav/ -which were written in the fj^^-^J'^ 
book that Hilkiah the priest found in the house ueut. is. 
of the Lord. "'"' 

25 And ^like unto him was there no king be- fg^^fP- 
fore him, that turned to the Lord \\ith all his 
heait, and with all his soul, and Avith all his 
might, according to all the law of Moses ; nei- 
ther after him arose there ariy like him. 

26 11 Notwithstanding, the Lord turned not 
from the fierceness of his great -^M'ath, where\'\'ith 
his anger was kindled against Judah, because of 

all the t provocations that Manasseh had pro- t Heb, 
voked him withal. ^hZl'21.

also out of my sight, > as I have removed Israel, J«''-i*-'»-

have chosen, and the house of which I said, ' My

11 And this is the numljer of the miglity men 
whom Da\id had ; Ju'shobcam, |t an Hachmonite, i or,««n/ 
the chief of the captains : ' he lifted up his j^pear ^""'""'"• 
ag:iinst three hundred slain by him at one time. L^.l.^^^- 

12 And cifter him ^t-vi'.yli.leazar the son of Dodo, 
the Ahohite, \\ho \vas one of the three m.ighties. ^''■''• 

13 He was \\-ith David at !| Pas-dammim, and I'^.t^,';"- 
there the Philistines were gathered together to i«^'""'' 
battle, where was a parcel of ground full of ^'"^^ 
barley ; and the ^ people fled irom before the k see chap, 
Philikines. 

14 And they j| set tliemselves in the midst off, or, ftood. 
that ptircel, and delivered it, and sle-w the Phi-

II deli\'erance. ? P""',- 

15 If Now II three of the thirty captains ' went s or, three 
down to the rock to David, into the caAC oVi^trihlny, 
AduUam; and the host of the Philistines en- lasam. 
camped in the valley of Rephaim. ^' ^^'*^' 

16 "And Da\'id vjas then in the hold, and the m i sam.

Avouid gi^-e me cbink of the water of the well of Ij?!?"' 
Beth-lehem, that is at the gate ! 

18' And the three brake through the host of 
the Pliilistines, and drew w-ater out of the A\'ell 
of Beth-lehem, that urns by tlie gate, and took 
it, and brought it to Da^dd : but David would 
not drink of it, ° but poured it out to the Lord, 23^1^^ 

19 And said, My God forbid it me, that I 
should do this thing : shall I drink the blood of 
these men f that have put their lives injeopai'dy? tHeb. 
for with the jeopardy of their lives they brought «iJ«.*'^*'" 
it. Therefore he would not drink it. These 
things did these three mightiest. 

20 T[ And ^ Abishai the brother of Joab, he 
was chief of the three : for lifting up his spear 
against three hundred, he slew the7n, and had a 
name among the three. 

21 1 Of die tliree he Avas more honourable q2Sam,

deliver them into mine hand? rVnd the Lord

into tl\ine hand.

vid smote them tliere. ThenDavid said, God hath 
broken in upon mir.e enemies hy mine hand 
like the breaking forth of waters : therefore they 
called the name oj that place || Baal-perazim. 

12 And when they harl left their •" gods there, 
Da\id ga\e a connnandment, and they were 
burned w ith fire. 

1 3 And the Philistines yet ' again spread them-

Jl^ house, that David said to ' Nathan the 
prophet, Lo, I d\\ ell in an '' house of cedars, ' but 
the iirk of the covenant of tlie Lord remaimth 
under ^curtains. 

2 Then Natkm said unto David, Do all that 
is in thine heart ; for God is with thee. 

3 Ti And it came to pass the same night, ^^that 
the A\ord of God c^mie to Nathan, saying, 

4 Go and tell Da\ id my servant, Thus saith 
the Lord, Thoti shalt not build me an house to 
dwell in : 

5 For I have not duelt in an house since the 
daj- that I brought up Israel unto this daj' ; but 
t ha\ c gone li-om tent to tent, and from one 
tabernacle to another. 

6 Wheresoe\cr I Inue walked with all Israel, 
*" spake I a Mord to any of the judges of Israel, 
\\ hom I commiuided to feed my people, siiying. 
Why ha\ e ye not built me an house of cedai's ? 

7 No\\' iherctore thus shalt thou say unto \x\.\ 
servant David, Thus saith the Lord of hosts, I 
took ihee from tlie ' sheep-cote, even f from fol- 
low ing tlie sheep, that thou shouldest be ruler 
o\er my i)eople Israel : 

8 And I ha\e been with thee w hithersoc\ er 
thou hast walked, *and ha\e cut ofl' all thine 
enemies from bcibre thee, and ha\e made thee 
a name like the nan^e of the great men that are 
in the earth. 

9 Also I will ordiiin a place for my people Is- 
rael, and will plant them, iind tliey sIkiII dwell 
in their place, and shall be mo\ed no more ; 
'neither shall the children of Avickedness waste 
tliem any more, °'as at the beginning, 

10 And since the time that I commanded judges 
to be over my people Israel. "Moreo\er, I will 
subdue all thine enemies. Furthermore, I tell 
thee that the Lord will build thee an house. 

11 H And it shall come to pass, \\hen thv 
da\s Ix' expired that thou must go to be ° w ith 
thr fathers, that I w ill raise up thy seed iilter 
thee, w hich shall be of thy sons ; and I w ill 
establish his kingdom. 

12 He '• shall build me an hou.sc, and I will 
establish his dirone lor ever. 

13 "• I will Ix; his tadier, iuid he shall Ix my 
son : and I •will not take my mercy away from 
him, as I took // from him that Wiis Ixfore thee : 



14 But I will settle him in miiKi house and in 
my kingdom for ever : and his throne shall be 
established for e\ ermore. 

15 According toiill 'these words, and accord- 
ing to all this vision, so did Nathan speak unto 
Da\id. 

16 TI * And Da^'id the king came and sat Idc- 
fore the Lord, and said, Who aw I, O Lord 
God, and w hat is mine house, tliat thou hast 
brought me hidierto ? 

17 And yet this was a small thing in thine 
eyes, O God ; "for thou hast also spoken of thj- 
servant's house lor a great w hile to come, and 
hast regarded me according to the estate of a 
man of high degree, O Lord God. 

18 What can David speak more to thee for 
the honour of thy servant ? for thou knowest 
thy servant. 

19 O Lord, for thy servant's sake, and "accord- 
ing to thine own hear,, hast thou done all this 
greatness, in milking known iill ///i'^cf great things. 

20 O Lord, there is none like thee, neidier 
is there any God beside thee, according to all 
^ that we haA e heard w ith our ears. 

21 And what one nation in the earth i.y*like 
thy people Israel, w hom God went to redeem to 
be his own people, to make thee a name of great- 
ness and terribleness, by dri\'ing out nations 
from before thy people, whom thou hast redeem- 
ed out of F.gvpt ■? 

22 For * tiiy people Israel didst thou make 
thine own people for ever ; and thoti, Lord, 
becamest their God. 

23 Therefore now. Lord, ''let the thing that 
thou hast spoken concerning thy servant and 
concerning his house be established for e\er, 
imd do as thou hast said. 

24 Let it even be established, that thy name 
may be magnified for ever, saying. The Lord 
of hosts is the Gcxl of Israel, even a God to Is- 
rael : and let the house of David thy servant be 
established before dice. 

25 For thou, O mj- God, f hast told thy .ser- 
\ ant that thou w ilt build him an house : there- 
fore thy ser\ant hath found in his heart to pray 
before thee. 

26 And now. Lord, thou iirt God, and hast 
promised this goodness imto thy ser\ ant : 

27 Now therefore || let it please thee to bless 
the house of thy ser\ant, that it may be before 
thee for ever : for "= thou blessest, O Lord, and 
it shall be blessed for e\ er.

3 ^ And David srnote 1| Hadarezer king of 
Zobah unto Hamath, as he went to stablish his 
dominion by the river Euphrates. 

4 And David took from him " a thousand cha- 
riots, and seven thousand horsemen, and twentj^ 
thousand footmen : David also houghed all the 
chariot horses, but reserved of them an hundred 
chariots. 

5 And when tne Syrians of f Damascus came 
to help Hadarezer king of Zobali, David slew of 
the Syrians t^vo and twenty thousand men. 

6 '^Then David put garrisons inSyria-damas- 
cus ; and the Syriaiis became David's sei-vants, 
a?id brought gifts. Thus the Lord preserved 
Da\'id "\Ahithersoever he went. 

7 ^ And David took the shields of gold that 
were on the servants of Hadarezer, and brought 
them to Jerusalem. 

8 Likewise from || Tibhath, and from Chun, 
cities of Hadoxezer, brought Dua id very much 
brass, Avherewith ^ Solomon made the brazen sea, 
and the pillars, and the vessels of brass. 

9 IT NoAv v.-hen i| Tou king of Hamath heard 
hov/ Da'vid had smitten all the host of'Hadarezer 
king of Zobali ; 

10 He sent |1 Hadoram his son to king David, 
II to enquire of his welfare, aiid i" to congratu- 
late him, because he had fought against Hada- 
rezer, and smitten him ; (for Hadarezer t had 
war with Ton ; ) and %vif/i him all mamier of ves- 
sels of gold, and silver, a: id brass. 

11 "[[Them also king David dedicated unto 
the Loud, ^with the silver and the gold that he 
brought fi'om all these nations ; '^from Edoui, and 
from Moab, and fi-om the children of Amnion, 
and from the Philistines, and from Amalek. 

12 Moreover Abishai the son of Zeruiali slew 
of the Edomites ' in the valley of salt eighteei- 
thousand. 

13^ Tf "^ And he put gajxisons in Edom ; and al: 

the Edomites became David's servants. Thus the 

Lord preserved David Vvhithersoeva- lie \.ent. 

^^ tl So David reigned. over all Israel, 'and 

provrs. IS. executed judgment and justice among all his 

people. 

15 And Joab the son of Zeruiali was over 
the host ; and Jehoshaphat the son of Ahilud, 
II recorder. 

16 And Zadok the son of Ahitub, and || Abi- 
melech the son of Abiathar, were the priests ;

5 Then there went certain, and told David 
how the men were served. And he sent to meet 
them : for the m^en were greatly ashamed. And 

the king said,^Tai-ry at Jericho until your beards f zsam. 
be grown, and ry^(f;z return. ""*■ 

6 T[And Vv'hen the children of Ammon saw 
that they had made themselves t odious to Da- 1 Heb. 
vid, Hanun and the childi-en of Ammon sent a jVa^.'io. 
thousand talents of silver to hire them chariots 

and horsemen out of Mesopotamia, mid out of 
Syria-maachah, and out of Zobah. 
^ 7 So they hired thirty and two thousand cha- 
riots, and the king of Maachah and his people ; 
who came and pitched before ^ Medeba. And the g Numb. 
children of Ammon gathered tliemselves together fosh^is. 0. 
from their cities, and came to battle. 

8 And w hen David heaid of it, he sent °- Joab, '^''"- *°^'- 
and all the host of ' the mighty men. \u67' 

9 And the children of Ammon came out, and ichap. 
put the battle in array before the gate of the 
city : and the kings that were come xvere by 
diemselves in the field. 

10 Now when Joab saw that f the battle was t Heb.

agaiiist the Syrians. ymngmm. 

1 1 And the rest of the people he delivered unto 
the hand o£ f Abishai his biother, and they set t Heb. 
the?nsel-ves in array against the children of Ammon 

12 And he said, If the Syrians be too strong n^Po, 
for me, then thou shalt help me : but if the chil-

13 ^ Be of good courage, and let us behave

14 So Joab and the people that were with 
him drew nigh before the Syrians unto the battle ;

before^ Abishai his brother, and entered into the

I. CHRONICLES. Datiid mimbereth the people. 

A ND * Satan stood up against Israel, and pro- 
I\. voked Da\'id to number Israel. 

2 And DaA id said to Joab and to the rulers of 
the people. Go, nimilx-r Israel from ^'Becr-shtba 
even to Dan ; luxl bring the ninv.bcr of them to 
me, that I may kno\\' /'/. 

3 And Joab answered, *= The Lord make his 
people an hundred times so many more as they be: 
but, my lord the king, are they not all my lord's 
sen ants? why th.en doth niy lord require this 
thing? why will he be a cause of tresjxiss to Israel ? 

4 Neverdieless the ** kin.g's word prev.iiled a- 
gainst Joab. AV'hevcfore Joab departed, 'an.d went 
throughout all Israel, and came to Jerusalem. 

5 ^ And ^Joab gave the sum of tlie number of 
the people imto David. And all they rf Israci 
were a tliousand thousand and an hr.ridred tliou- 
siind men that tlrew sword : and Jud:'Ji was four 
hundred threescore and ten tiiousaud meti tliat 
die\\" s\\"ord. 

6 But Le\ i and Benjamin ^counted he not among 
them: for the king's word wasaliominaljle to Joab. 

7 t And God ^\as displeased w ith tJiLs thing, 
tlierefore lie smote Israel. 

8 And David said unto God, "^ I have sinned 
greatly, because I have done this diing : but no\^", 
I beseech thee, do away the iniquity of xl\y ser- 
vant; for I ha\'e done Aer\" foolishly. 

9 II And the Lord spake unto Cad, 'David's 
seer, saying, 

10 Go and tell Da^■id, saying. Thus saith the 
Lord, I f offer thee tliree //(///^.y.- choose thee 
one of them, that I may do it unto thee. 

11 So Gad came to David, and said imto him, 
Thus saith die Lord, f Choose thee 

12 ■'Either three years famine ; or th.'ce months 
to be destroyed before thy toes, while that the 
sword of thine enemies (nertiiketh t/iee ; or else 
three days die swoitlof the Lord, even thc pes- 
tilence, in the hind, and the angel of the Lord 
destroying throughout all die coasts of L.j-.el. 
Now thei'cfore a.ch ise tiiy.self what ^\ord 1 shall 
bring again ' to him tint sent me. 

13 And Da\ id said imto Gad, I am in a great 
stnut : let me fall now into the hand of the 
Lor D ; for \'er}- 1| grent are iiis mercies : "" but let 
me not fall into the hand of man. 

14 1 So the LoK D sent ix^stilence upon Israel : 
and there fell of Israci se>enty thousi\nd men. 

15 And God sent an "angel tmto Jenissilem to 
destroy it: and as lie was destroying, the Lord 
Ixhclci, and he rejKntcd him of the c\il, and said 
to the angel that destroyed. It iser.ough., stay now 
thine hand. And the angel of the Lord stood by 
the direshing-tloor of || Oman the Jebusite. 

16 And David lifted up liis eyes, and saw the 
angel of the Loitn stand between the cardi and 
thc heaven, ha\ing "a dra\' n sword in hi^ hand 
stretched out (ner Jcruvilem. Then D;ivid and 
the eidei>> of Israrl, '• vjho vcere clodied in satk-

JDa^id purchaseth Oman's thresh'mg-flo«r^ CHAP, 

hand, I pray thee, O Lord my God, be on me, 
and on my fadier's house ; but not on thy people, 
that they should be plagued. 

18 IT Then the 'angel of the Lord command- 
ed Gad to say to David, that DaA-id should go 
up, and set up an altai- unto tlie Lord in the 
^ direshing-floor of Oman tlie Jebusite. 

1 9 And David went up at the saying of Gad, 
which he spake in the name of tlie Lord. 

20 II And Oman tumed back, and saw tlie 
angel; and his four sons with him hid them- 
sehes. Now Oman -^'v-as thresliing wheat. 

21 And as David came to Oman, Oman look- 
ed and saw David, and went out of the liiresh- 
ing-floor, and '^ boAved himself to David mth his 
fece to the gi-ound. 

22 Then David said to Oman, f Gi-ant me tlie 
place of this threshing-floor, that I may build aii 
altar therein unto the Lord : thou shalt gi-ant it 
me for tlie full price : tliat the plague may be 
stajed from the people. 

23 And Oman said unto David, ''Take it to 
thee, and let my lord the king do that %vhich is 
good in his eyes : lo, I give thee the oxen also for 
bumt-oiferings, and the threshing instrunients 
for wood, and the wheat for the meat-ofiering ; 
r give it all. 

24 And king DaA'id said to Oman, Nay ; ^ but 
I will verily buy it for the full price : for I Aviil 
not take that which z.y thine for the Lord, nor 
oflTer bumt-offerings without cost. 

25 So * David ga\'e to Oman for the place six 
hundi-ed shekels of gold by weight. 

26 And David built there aii altai- unto the 
Lord, and ofi'ered burnt-offerings and peace- 
offerings, and called upon the Lord; and he 
answered him from heaven ''by fire upon the 
altar of burnt-offering. 

27 And the Lord commanded the angel ; 'and 
he put up his sword again into the sheath thereof. 

28 •[[ At that time v\-hen David sav.' that the 
Lord had answered him in the threshing-floor 
of Oman the Jebusite, "^then he sacrificed there. 

29 For tlie tabemacle of the Lord, wliich 
Mo^es made in the -wilderness, ^ and tlie alta- of 
the bumt-offering, ivere at that season in the 
high place at ^Gibeon. 

30 But David could not go before it to en- 
quire of God : for he was afraid because of the 
sword of the angel of the Lord. 

CHAP. xxn. 

1 David, foreknoxving the place of the temple, 
prepareth abundance for the biiihling of it : 
6 he instructeth Solomon in God^s promises, 
and his duty in building the temple. 17 Be 
chargeth tlu princes to assist his son. 

THEN David said, * This is the house of the 
Lord God, and this is tlie altar of the 
bumt-offcring for Israel. 

2 And David commanded ta gather together 
the '' strangers tliat were in the land of Israel ; 
and he set masons to hew wrought stones to 
build the house of God. 

3 And David prepared iron in abundance for 
the nails for the doors of the gates, and for 



, XXIL and prepareth abundantly for the temple 

the joinings; and •= brass in abundance without 
weight ; 

4 Also cedar- trees in abundance : for the Zi- 
donians and they of Tjtc brought much cedar 
wood to David. 

5 And David said, "^Solomon my son is 
young and tender, and the house that^ is to be 
builded for die Lord must be exceeding niag- 
nificaJ, of fame and of glory ^ throughout _ all 
countries : I Mill therefore now make prepiiration 
for it. So Da\'id prepared abundantly before his 
deatli. 

6 TiThen he called for Solomon his son, ^and 
charged him to build an house for the Lord 
God of Israel. 

7 And David said to Solomon, My son, as 
for me, ^it ^^as in mv mind to build an house 
unto the name of the ^ Lord my God : 

8 But the word of the Lord came to me, 
saying, ' Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and 
hast made great wars : thou shalt not build an 
house unto my name, because thou hast shed 
much blood upon the earth in my sight. 

9 Behold, ^ a son shall be born to thee, who 
shall be a man of rest ; and ' I will give him res~ 
ironi all his enemies round about : for his name 
shall be || Solomon, and I ^ill give peace and 
quietness unto Israel in his days. 

10 " He shall buUd an house for my name ; 
and "lie shall be my son, and I %viil be his father ; 
and I Mill establish the throne of his kingdom 
over Israel for e^er. 

11 Now, my son, "the Lord be Aviththee; 
and prosper thou, and build tlie house of the 
Lord thy God, as he hath said of tliee. 

12 Only the Lord give tliee p wisdom and 
understanding, and gi\'e thee chai'ge conceming 
Israel, that thou mayest keep the la^v of the 
Lord tliy God. 

13 Then shalt ^thou prosper, if thou takest 
heed to fulfil the statutes and judgments Avhich 
ihe Lord charged Moses with, concerning Israel ; 
be strong, and of good courage ; dread not, nor 
be dismaj-ed. 

14 No\A', behold, || in my trouble I have pre- 
pared for the house of the Lord an hundred 
thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thou- 
sand talents of siher; and of brass and iron 
*■ without weight; for it is in abundance : timber 
ilso and stone haAc I prepai-ed ; and tliou mayest 
add diereto. 

15 Moreover, the7-e are workmen ^Ith thee 
in abundance, heA\-ers and || workers of stone 
and timber, and all manner of cunning men for 
ever\' manner of work. 

16 Of the gold, tlie silver, and the brass, and 
the iron, t/ure is no number. Arise therefore 
and be doing, 'and tlie Lord be with thee. 

17 1[ David also commanded all the princes 
of I-^rael to help Solomon his son, saying, 

18 Is not the Lord your God with you ? *and 
hath he not given you rest on every side ? for he 
hath given the inhabitants of the land i'.ito mine 
hand ; and the land is subdued before the Lord 
iuid before his people. '

6 Ti Then the^ chief of the fathers and princes 
of the tribes of Israel, and the captains of thou-

king's work, offered willingly, 

7 And gave for the service of the house of God, 
of gold five thousand talents and ten thousand 
drams, and of silver ten thousand talents, and 
of brass eighteen thousand talents, and one 
hundred thousand talents of iron. 

8 And they with whom ^precious stones ^^-ere

offered willingly to the Lord : and David the

Solomnn''s strerii^t/i and -xvcalth. 

AND* Solomon the son of David was 
strengthened in hi.s kingdom, and the 
•■LoRn hi.s God ivas with him, and 
^ magnified him exceedingly. 

2 Then Solomon spake unto all Israel, "* to the 
captain.s of thousands and of hundreds, and to 
the judges, and to every governor in all Israel, 
the chief of the fathers. 

3 So Solomon, and all the congregation with 
him, went to the high place that vjas at ' Gi- 
beon ; for there \\as the tabernacle of the congre- 
gation of God, which Moses tlie sei-vimt of the 
Lord had made in the \\ildcmess. 

4 ^ But the ark of God had David brought 
up from Kirjath-jcarim to ihe place vchich David 
had pi-eixired for it : s for he had pitched a tent 
for it at Jerusalem. 

5 Morcox cr, ^ the bmzen altar, that Bczaleel 
the son of Uri, the son of Hur, had made, || he 
put i)efore the tal^emacle of the Loud: and 
Solomon and the congicgalion sought unto it. 

6 And Solomon went up tliitlier to the brazen 
altar before the Lord, A\hich ivas at the tiiljer- 
nacle of the congregation, and offered a ' tliou- 
sand burnt-offerings upon it. 

7li In that night did God ''appear unto Solomon, 
and said unto him, Ask what I shall gi\e thee. 

8 And Solomon said unto God, Thou hast 
shewed great mercy unto Da\id my father, and 
hast made me ' to reign in his stead. 

9 Now, O Lord God, let thy promise unto 
Da\id m\- father be established : '" for thou hast 
made me king o\ er a people f like the dust of 
the carih in multitude. 

10 " Gi\ e me now wisdom and knowledge, that 
I may " go out and conie in before this people : for 
who can judge this thy people, that is so great? 

1 1 f And God said to Solomon, Because this 
was in thine heait, and thou hast not asked 
riches, wealth, or honour, nor the life of thine 
enemies, neither yet hast asked long life ; but 
hast asked wisdom and kno\\ ledge for thyself, 
tivat thou mayest judge my people, over whom 
I have made thcc king : 

12 Wisdom and knowledge/.? granted unto 
ihec ; and I w ill gi\e thee riches, and wealth, 
and honour, such as "^ none of the kings ha\e 
had that have bccii Ixfore thee, iKither shall 
there any after thee ha\e the like. 

13 II Then Solomon cdirw from his joiirucy to 
the high place that ivas at Gilx^on to Jerusalem, 
from bcf(jre the tabernacle of tlie congregation, 

richror. and ^ rcigncd o\er Israel. 

"kI's 14 " ^^ Solomon gathered chariots and 

ii^*«r<r horsemen : and he had a tliousandand fourhun-

16° And t Solomon had horses brought ou

rcceived the linen-yarn at a price. 

17 And they fetched up, and brought fonlt

3 Ti And Solomon .sent to || Huram the king of

4 Behold, ** I build an house to the name of the

The solemn induction of the ark. 

THUS all the work that Solomon made for 
the house of the Lord was finished : ""and 
Solomon brought in all the things that DaA id 
his father had dedicated ; and the sil\ er, and the 
gold, and all the instruments, put he among the 
^ ireasures of the house of God. 

2 H <^ Then Solomon assembled the elders of Is- 
rael, and all the heads of the tribes, the chief of 
the fathers of the children of Israel, unto Jerusa- 
lem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of the 
Lord ''out of the city of Da\id, which is Zion. 

3 Wherefore ''all. the men of Israel assembled 
themselves unto the king in die feast *^ which was 
in die seventh month. 

4 And all the elders of Israel came ; ^ and the 
Levites took up the ark. 

5 And they brought up the ixck, and die ta- 
bernacle of the congi-egation, and all the holy 
\'essels that were hi the tabernacle, ^ these did the 
priests and the Le\ ites bring up. 

6 Also king Solomon, and all the congregation 
of Israel that \vere assembled unto him Ix'fore 
the ark, 'sacrificed sheep and oxen, which could 
not be told nor numbered for multitude. 

7 And the priests brought in the aik of the 
covenant of the Lord unto his place, ''to the 
oracle of die house, into the most holy place, 
even under the w ings of the cherubims : 

8 For the ' cherubims spread forth their wings 
over the place of the la-k, and the cherubims co- 
vered the luk, and the staves thereof above. 

9 And they drew out the sta% es of the ark, 
that the ends of the stav es w ere seen from the 
ark before the oracle; but they were not seen 
without. .And || there it is unto this day. 

10 There was nothing in die ark save the two 
tables w hich Moses '" put therein at Horei), || w hen 
the Lord made a covenant with the children of 
Israel, when they came out of Egypt. 

11 T[ And it came to pass, when the priests 
uere come out of the holy place: (Ibr all the 
priests that ivere t present were sanctified, and 
did not t/ien wait by course : 

12 " Also die Lev ites which were the singers, 
all of them of Asaph, of Heman, of JedutTiun, 
w ith their sons and their brcthien, being an-ay- 
ed in w hite linen, " hav ing cymbals and psalteries 
and hiirj)s, stood at the east end of the altar, and 
w ith them iui hunched and twenty priests sound- 
ing with trumpcis:) 

13 It came ev en to pa<s, as die tnjmpeters and 
singers were i\s one, to make one sound to be heard 
in praising and thanking the Lord; and when 
they lifted up their voice w ith the trumpets and 
cymbals and in.struments of niusick, luid praised 
the Lord, sa;/ing, ■' For he is good ; for his mercy 
endnreth lor ever: that then die house was filled 
with a cloud, even the house of the Lord ; 

14 So that the prii sts could ncA stand to min- 
i.ster by reason of the cloud : i for the glorj- of 
the Lord had filled the house of God.

HEN ^said Solomon, The Lord hath said 
that he would dwell in the '' thick darkness. 

2 But I ha\e built an house of habitation for 
tliee, and a place for thy dwelling for e^er. 

3 And the king turned his face, and blessed 
the whole congi-egation of Israel : and all the con- 
gregation of Israel ' stood. 

4 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of 
Isi-ael, ''who hath with lais hands fulfilled that 
which he spake with his mouth to my father 
David, saying, 

5 Since the day that I brought forth my peo- 
ple out of tlie land of Egypt I chose no city 
among all the tribes of Israel to build an house in, 
that my name niight be there ; neither chose I 
any man to be a ruler over my people Israel. 

6 But * I ha-\'e chosen Jerusalem, that my name 
might be there; and have ^ chosen David to be 
oxer my people Israel. 

7 Now s it was in the heait of Da^'id my father 
to build an house for ^'tlie name of the Lord 
God of Israel. 

8 But the Lord said to David my father, For- 
asmuch as it w'?is in thine heait to build an house 
for my name, thou didst well in that it was in 
thine heai-t : 

9 Notwithstanding, thou shalt not build the 
house; 'but thy son which shall come forth 
out of thy loins, he shall build tlie house for 
my name. 

10 The Lord tlierefore hath performed his 
word that he hath spoken ; for I am risen up ir 
^ the room of David my father, and am set on the 
tin-one of Israel, as the Lord promised, and 
have built the house for the name of the Lord 
God of Israel : 

11 And in it have I put the axk hvherein is 
the covenant of the Lord, tliat he made wdth the 
childi'en of Israel. 

12 T[ And he stood "" before the altai' of the 
Lord in the presence of all the congregation of 
Israel, and "spread forth his hands : 

13 For Solomon had made a brazen scaffold 
of fiAC cubits t long, and Aac cubits broad, and 
three cubits high, and had it set in the midst oi 
the court : and upon it he stood, and kneeled 
do\Mi ° upon his knees before all the congregation 
of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward 
heaA'cn, 

14 And said, O Lord God of Israel, '^ there is 
no God like thee in the heaven, nor in the earth ; 
which keepest coa enant, ai^id s/iewest mercy im- 
to thy ser\ants, that walk before thee with all 
their hearts : 

15 Thou which hast ^kept with thy servant 
David my father that w hich thou hast promised 
him ; and spakest Avith thy mouth, and hast ful- 
filled it -with thine hand, as it is this day. 

16 Now therefore, O Lord God of Israel, 
keep VA'ith thy servant Da^'id my father that 
which thou hast promised him, saying, "■ t There 
shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit upor. 
the throne of Israel ; ^ yet so that thy c.hildren 
take heed to their wzy to walk in my law, as 
tliou hast walked before mc. 




17 NoAv ihen, O Lord God of Israel, Met thy 
word be Aerified, \a hich thou hast spoken unto 
thy ser\ant David. t^x,T,x\,

19 "'HaA-e respect therefore to the prayer of thy llf!"^^

AA'hich thy serA'ant prayeth before thee :

2 And die priests could not enter into the house 
of the Lord, ''because the glory of die Lord

3 And when all the children of Israel saw- 
how the fire came do^\^l, and the glory of the

with their faces to the ground upon the pa\e-

raying, " For lie is good ; for his mercy cndurcth j^»p- 
for ever. " I'chi'on 

4 H*" Then the king and all die people offered oiap.' 
sacrifices before the Lord. 

5 And king Solomon offered a sacrifice 
twenty and t\\ o thousand oxen, and an hundred 
and twenty thousand sheep : so the king and all 
die people dedicated die house of God. 

6 And « the priests w aited on their offices : the 
Levites also with instruments ofmusick of the 
Lord, which David the king had made to praise 
the Lord, because his mercy endureth for ever, 
when David praised f by their mini.stry ; and the ,^,"''';,Si, 
^ priests sounded trumpets before diem, and 'all hi a,roii. 
Israel stood. _ ola^.s.ii, 

7 Moreover, Solomon '' hallowed the middle of ichap.a.s. 
'he court that was before the house of the Lord: \ ^^^ 
for there he offered bumt-offerings, and the fat '' 

of the peace-offerings, because the brazen altar 
u hich Solomon had made wiis not able to receive 
die burnt-offerings, and the meat-offerings, and 
rlie fat. 

8 If Also at die same time ' Solomon kept the ' • Kings 
feast seven days, and all Israel ^\itll him, a xcr^ 
great congregation, fi-oni the entering in of Ha-

\ ND ^ it came to pass at the end of t^venty 
l\. years, wherein Solomon had built the house 
of the Lord, and his own house, 

2 That the cities vv hich ^ Huram had restored 
to Solomon, Solomon built thern, and caused the 
children of Israel to d^vell there. 

3 And Solomon went to Hamath-zobah, and 
prevailed against it. 

4 And he built " Tadmor in the wilderness, and 
all the store cities, v hich he built in Hamath. 

5 Also he built Beth-horon the upper, '^ and 
Beth-horon the nether, fenced cities, with wails, 
gates, and bars ; 

6 And Baalath, and all the store cities that 
Solomon had, and all the chariot cities, and the 
cities of the horsemen, and t ''^^ ^hat^ Solo- 
mon desired to build in Jeruscilem, and in Le- 
banon-, and throughout ail the land of his 
dominion. 

7 *[i As for all " the people t/iat ivere left of the 
Hittites, and the Amorites, and the Perizzites, 
and the Hivites, and the Jebusites, which ivere 
not oi Israel, 

8 But of their children, who v ere left after 
them in the land, whom the children of Israel 
consumed not, * them did Solomon make to pay 
tribute until this dixy. 




9 But of the children of Israel did Solomon 
make no ^ servants for his work ; but they were 
men of wai;, and_ chief of his captains, and 
captains of his chariots and horsemen. 

10 And these ivere the chief of king Solomon's 
officers, even two hundred and fifty, ^ that bare ^ \^^e' 
rule over the people. 

1 1 H And Solomon ' brought up the daughter i 1 Kings 
of Phai-aoh out of the city of David unto the 6-^9.^24.'^' 
house that he had built for her : for he said, My 

wife shall not dwell in the house of David king 

of Israel, because the places are f holy, where- +J^«b.^ 

unto the ark of the L o r d hath come . 

12 1[ Then Solomon offered burnt-offerings 

unto the Lord, on the ''altai- of the. Lord, kiKin^' 
which he had built before the porch, *' "' 

13 Even after a certain rate every ^day, of- lExod, 
fering according to the commandment of Moses, f^mS; 
on the sabbatl:is, and on the new moons, and on ^s- »• ' 
the solemn feasts, •" three times in the yeai-, even m Exod. 
in the feast of unleavened bread, and in the feast Deul"*' 
of weeks, and in the feast of tabernacles. *^- ^'^" 

14 Ti And he appointed, according to the order 

of David his father, the " courses of the priests to n 1 chron. 
their service, ° and the Levites to their charges, to f '/• 
praise and minister before the priests, as the duty 2s.\. °"' 
of every day required : the ^ porters also by their p 1 chron.

16 Now all the work of Solomon was pre- 
pared unto the day of the foundation of the 
house of the Lord, and until it v/as finished. 
1 So the house of the Lord was perfected.

not told me : Jor thou exceedest the fame diat I

8 8^ Blessed be the Lord thy God, which de- 
lighted in dice to set thee on '^ his thi-one, to be 
king for the Lord thy God: because thy God 
loved Israel, to establish them for e\er, therefore 
made he thee king o\er them, to do judgment 
and justice. 

9 And ' she gave die king tin hundred and 
twenty talents of gold, and of spices gi-eat abun- 
dance, and precious stones : neither was there 
any such spice as die queen of Sheba gave king 
Solomon. 

10 ^ And the servants also of Huram, and the 
servants of Solomon, ^\■hich brought gold from 
Ophir, Ijrought algum-trees and precious stones. 

11 'And the icing made of the algum-trees 

II t ten-aces to the house of the Lord, and to 
the king's palace, and hivrps and psalteries for 
singers : and there ^\"ere none such seen before in

12 And king Solomon gave to the queen of 
Sheba iill her desire, whatsoever she asked, "'be- 
side t/iat which she had brought unto the king. 
So she turned, and \vent aw ay to her ow n land, 
she iind her ser\'ants. 

13 IT Now the ^veight of gold that came to

came the ships of Tarshish bringing" gold, iuid

22 And '^ king Solomon passed all the kings ol

24 And they brought every ir.an his present,

25 i And Solomon "" had four diousand stalls

26 U And he reigned ov er all the kings " fron

speak s good ^\ ords to them, they will be thy ser- 
vants foi" exer. 

8 But he forsook the counsel v.hich the old 
men ga-^-e him, '^and took counsel with the young 
men that were brought up with him, that stood 
before him. 

9 And he said unto them, WTiat adA'ice gi\-e 
ye that we may return answer to this people, 
which have spoken to me, saying, Ease some- 
^\'hat the yoke that thy father did put upon us ? 

10 And the young men that -were brought up 
with him, spake unto him, saying, 'Thus shalt 
thou answer the people that spake unto thee, say- 
ing. Thy father made our yoke hea\y, but make 
thou it somcAvhat lighter for us ; thus shalt thou 
say unto tliem, My little finger shall be thicker 
than ^ my father's loins. 

1 1 For whereas my father f put a hea%y yoke

j'oung men, saying, My father made your yoke 
heavy, but I v.411 add thereto: my father chas- 
tised vou with ^\l"ups, but I will chastise you with 
scoipions.

for the cause was of God, that the Lord might

of Ahijah the Shilonite to Jeroboam tlie son of

17_But as for the chiidi-en of Israel that dwelt in 
the cities of J udali, Rehoboam reigned over them. 

18 Then king Rehoboam sent °Hadoram ^that

V2 And, behold, God himself is with us for 
our ° captain, and his priests p \\4th sounding- 
trumpets to ciy alarm against you. O children 
of Israel, ^ fight ye not against tlie Lord God of 
your fathers ; for ye shall not prosper. 

13 "U ijut Jeroboam caused an ambushment to 
come about behind them : so they 'i\ere before 
Judah, and the ambushment %vas behind them. 

14 And when Judah looked back, behold, tlie 
battle ivas before and behind: and thej- cried 
unto the Lord, " and the priests sounded with 
the trumpets. 

15 Then tlie men of Judah gave a shout : and 
as the men of Judah shouted, it came to pass, 
that • God smote Jeroboam and all Israel before 
Abijah and Judah. 

16 And the children of Israel fied before Ju- 
dali : and God delivered tliem into their hand. 

17 And Abijali and his people sle-i\^ them \^ ith 
a gi-eat slaughter : * so there fell down slain of Is- 
rael five hundred thousand chosen men. 

18 Thus the children of Israel were brought 
under at that time, and the children of Judah 
prevailed, " because they relied upon the Lord 
God of their lathers. 

19 And Abijah pursued after Jeroboam, and 
took cities from him, Beth-el with the towns 
thereof, and Jeshanah \\ith the towns thereof, 
and Ephraim with the tow ns thereof. 

20 Neither did Jeroboam recover strengtli 
again in the days of Abijah: and the Lord 
struck him, "" and he died. 

21 H But Abijah waxed mighty, and mairied 
fourteen wives, and begat tw enty and two sons, 
and sixteen daughters.

buried him in the city of David : and =* Asa 
his son reigned in his stead. In his days the land 
'° was quiet ten years. 

2 And Asa did that "which luas good and right

t images, ^ and cut down the gro\'es :

God of their fethers, and to do the la^v and the

5 Also he took away out of all the cities of 
Judah the high places and the f images: and 
the kingdom was quiet before him. 

6 H And he built * fenced cities in Judali : for 
the land had rest, and he had no war in those 
years ; because the Lord had ^ given him rest. 

7 Therefore he said unto Judah, Let us build 
these cities, and make about the7n walls, and 
towers, gates, and bars, ivhile the land is yet be-

11 Also some of the Philistines brought Jeho- 
shapat presents, and tribute-siher ; and the Ara- 
bians brought him flocks, seven thousand and 
seven hundred rams, and seven thousand and 
seven hundred he -goats. 

12 ^And Jehoshaphat waxed great exceed-

of store. 

13 And he had much business in the *' cities of 
Judah: and the men of war, mighty men of

NOW ^Jehoshaphat had riches and honour in

2 '■ And t after certain years he went do\vn 
to Ahab to Samaria. And Ahab killed s^eep and

7 And the king of Israel said unto Jehosha-

upon the mountains, as sheep that have no shep-

Ahab slain. II. CHRONICLES. 

19 And the Lord said, *Who shall entice 
Ahab king of Israel, that he may go up and 
llill at Ramoth-giletid ? And one spake, saying 
alter this manner, and ai;other saying after that 
map.ner. 

20 Then there came out a " spirit, and stood 
before the Lord, and said, I \\ ill entice him. 
And the Lord said unto him, Wherewith? 

21 And he said, I "vvill go out, and be a ''lying 
spirit in the rnouth of all his prophets. And the 
Lord said, Thou shalt entice /?/;??, and thou 
shalt also prevail : go out, and do even so. 

22 Now therefore, behold, ^ the Lord hath 
put a Ijing spirit in the mouth of these thy 
prophets, and the Lord hath spoken evil against 
thee. 

23 Then Zedekiah the son of Chenaanah came 
ne.T, 'and smote Micaiah u]:!on the cheek, and 
said, Which way went the Spirit of the Lord 
from me to speak unto thee ? 

24 And Micaiah said, Behold, thou shalt see 
on that day w;hen thou shalt go i| into f an inner 
chamber to hide thyse'f. 

25 Then the king of Israel said. Take ye Mi- 
caiah, and cai-ry him back to Amon the gOA^emor 
of the city, and to Joash the king's son ; 

26 And say. Thus saith the king. Put this 
fellow in * tlte prison, and feed him Avith bread of 
affliction and with water of affliction, until I 
return in peace. 

27 And Micaiiih said. If ihou certain]}^ return 
in peace, ^ then hath not the Lord spoken by 
me. And he said. Hearken, all ye people. 

28 So the king of Israel and Jehoshaphat the 
king of Judiih went up to Ramoth-gilead. 

29 And the king of Israel said unto Jehosha- 
phat, I will disguise myself, and will go to the 
battle ; but put thou on thy robes. So the king 
of Israel disguised himself; and they \\ent to 
the battle. 

30 Now the king of Syria had commanded 
the captains of the chariots that ivere \\\\h him, 

rjeMce. saying. Fight ye not with 'small or great, save 
only with the king of Israel. 

51 And it came to pass, when the captr.ins of 
the chariots saw Jehoshaphat, that they said. It 
is the king of Israel. Theieibre tliey corn passed 
about him to fight : but Jehoshiiphat "^ cried out, 
and the Lord helped himj and God moved 
tliem to depart from him. 

32 For it came to pass, that, when the cap- 
tains of the chariots perceived that it was not 
the king of Israel, they * tumed back again f from 
pursuing him. 

33 And a certain man drcAv a bow tat a

inliabitanls of .Jerusalem "■ fell before the Lord, 
worshipping 1 he Lord. 

19 And the Le^-ites, of the children of the \l£^^, 
' Kohathites, and of the children of the Korhites, 29.2"'"' 
stood up to praise the Lord God of Israel with l]^'"^- 
a loud \'oice on high. 

20 H And they rose eai'ly in the morning, and 
went forth into the wilderness of^Tekoa: andj^saai 
as_ they Mcnt forth, Jehoshaphat stood and 
said, Heai- me, O Judah, and ye inhabitants of 
Jerusalem, "Believe in the Lord j'our God, "^^'•^•* 
so shall ye be established ; believe his prophets, 

so shall j'e prosper. 

21 And when he had consulted with the peo- 
ple, he appointed singers unto the Lord, -'' and \^^'°''-- 
t that should praise the beauty of holiness, as they tHeb. 
went out before the army, and to say, ^ Praise the p''""'-'- 
Lord ; for his mercy endiireth for ever. i6!3^4.'™"' 

22 \ t And vv^hen they began f to sing and ^"t;,;,, 
to praise, the Lord set ambushments against {'."" f'^-'f 
the_ children of Ammon, Moab, and mount Seir, tHeb!"' 
which were come against Judah ; and |i they ^^rf^^ili 
were smitten. n or 

23 For the children of Ammon and Moab 'tf^rL, 
stood up against the inhabitants of mount Seir, {"sfm^"^^" 
utterly to slay and destroy them : and when they "• 20' 
had made an end of the inhabitants of Seir, 
e^-ery one helped t to destroy another. t Heb.^ 

24 A.nd when Judah came toward the w:atch- ^mctiL 
tower in the wilderness, they looked unto the 
multitude, and, behold, ^ they voere dead bodies ^^f^' 
fallen to the eai-th, and f none escaped. t Heb. 

25 And when Jehoshaphat and his people came 
to take away the spoil of them, they found a-"''"' 
mong them in abundance both riches ^ith the 
dead bodies, and precious jcAvels, Avhich they 
stripped off for themselves, more than they could 
cany away; and they were three days in ga- 
thering of the spoil, it was so much. 

26 •[[ And on the fourth day they assembled 
themselves in the valley of II Berachah; '^ for there V^^''^'^ 
theybessed the Lord: therefore the name of b vTse 
the same place was called. The valley of Bera-

27 Then they returned, every man of Judcih

3 And their father ga\e them great ^ gifts of

divers also of the princes of Israel.

6 Aid lie A\alked in the ^ way of the kings of 
Israel, like as did the house of Ahab : for he h;;d 
the d-iughter of* Ahab to wile : and he wrought 
that which was evil in the eyes of the Lord.

house ofDa\id, because of *" the co\enani that he

5 IF He walked also after their counsel, ^ and 
went \\ith Jehoram the son of Ahab king of Is-

moth-gilead : and the Syrians smote Joram. 

6 And he returned ^ to be healed in Jezreel 
because of the wounds f which were given him 
at Ramah, when he fought with Hazr.el king of 
Sjria. And || Azariah the son of Jehoram king 
of Judah went do^vn to see Jehoram tlie son of 
Ahab at Jezreel, because he w as sick._ 

7 And the f destruction of Ahaziah was of 
God by coming to Joram : for when he was 
come, he went out with Jehoram against Jehu 
the son of Nimshi, whom the Lord had anoint- 
ed ^ to cut off the house of Ahab. 

8 And it came to pass, that, w hen Jehu was 
^executing judgment upon the house of Ahab, 
and 'found the princes of Judah, and the sons 
of the brethi"en of Ahaziah, that ministei-ed to 
Ahaziah, he slew them.. 

9 '' And he sought Ahaziah : and they caught 
him, (for he was hid in Samaria,) and brought 
him to Jehu : and when they had slain him, they 
buried him : Because, said they, he is the son of 
Jehoshaphat, ^ who sought the Lord with all his 
heai-t. So the house of Ahaziah had no power 
to keep still the kingdom. 

10 IT "But when Athaliah the mother of 
Ahaziali saw' that her son w-as dead, she ai'ose 
and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of 
Judah. 

11 But " Jehoshabeath the daughter of the 
king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole 
him frora^ilmong the king's sons that were slain, 
and put him and his nurse in a " bed-chamber. So 
Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the 
wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sis- 
ter of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that 
she slew him not. 

12 And he was with them hid in the house of 
God P six yeiu's : and Athaliah reigned over the 
land. 

CHAP. XXIII. 
1 Jehoiada hamng set things in order, maketh

2 And they went about in Judah, and gr- 
tliered the Levites out of all the cities of Judah, 
and the chief of the fathers of Israel, and they 
came to Jerusalem. 

3 And all the congregation made a * coA-entint 
with the king in the house of God. And he si.id 
unto them, Behold, the king's son sbJl reign, 
as tlie Lord hath ^ said of the sons of David. 

4 This is the thing that ye shall do : A third 
part of you entering on the sabbath, of the

priests and of the Levites, shall be porters of the 
t doors ; 

5 And a third part shall be at the king's house ; 
and a third part at ^ the gate of the foundation : 
and all the people shall be in the courts of the 
house of the Lord. 

6 But let none come into the house of the 
Lord, save the priests, ^and diey that minister ^jffg';™': 
of the Levites ; they shall go in, for they are 

holy : but all the people shall keep the watch of 
the Lord. 

7 And the ^ Levites shall compass the king g^z Kings 
round about, every man with his weapons in his 
hand; and whosoever else cometh into the house, 

he shall be put to death : but be ye w'ith the 
king when he cometh in, aiid when he goeth 
out. 

8 So the Levites and all Judali did according 
to all things that Jehoiada the priest had com- 
manded, and took ^ txtry man his men that were 
to come in on the sabbath, with them that w-ere 
to go out on the sabbath : for Jehoiada the priest 
dismissed not the ' courses. cha^M! 

9 Moreover, Jehoiada the priest delivered to 3^^25,25 
^ the captains of hundreds, spears, and bucklers, ^ verse 
and shields, that had been king David's, which 
\\:ere in the house of God. 

10 And he set all the people, ^ everj- man hav- 1 versa 7, 
ing his weapon in his hand, fi'om the right 

t side of the f temple to the left side of the Jwav. 
iemple, along by the altar and the temple, by the tHeb. 
king round about. 

11 Then they brought out the king's son, and 
put upon him the crow^n, and ^ ga^ve hiin ^ 
testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada 
and his sons anointed him, and said, f God \rtt'ekir,i 
sa^-e the king. ffinuei 

12 ^ No^v when Athaliah heard the noise of "i-^-^ - 
the people running aiid praising the king, she - -^ 
came to the people into the house of the Lord : 

13 And she looked, and, behold, the king stood 
at his pillai-, at the entering in, and the princes 
and the trumpets by the king : and all the people 
of the land rejoiced, and sounded with ti-umpets, 
also the singers with instruments of musick, " and 
such as taught to sing praise. Then Athaliiili rent 
her clothes, and said, f Treason, treason. 

14 Then Jehoiada the priest brought out the 
° captains of hundreds that were set o\'er the host, 
and said unto them, Ha\e her forth of the ranges : 
uid who:.o folioweth her, let him be slain with 
die sword. For the priest said, ^ Slay her not in J^ li?^' 
the house of the Lord. 

15 So they laid hands on her ; and when she 
was come to the CTitering of the ^ horse-gate by J"^^''- 
the king's house, thej- slew her there. 

16 II And Jehoiada made a covenant bet^veen 
him, and between all the people, and between the 
king, that they should be the Lord's people. 

17 Then all the people went to the house of 
Baal, and brake it down, iind brake his altars and 
his images in pieces, and "■ slew Mattan the priest [j^^'i;,

17 Now after the deadi of Jehoiada came the 
princes of Judah, and made obeisance to the 
king. Then the king hearkened unto them. 

18 And they left the house of die Lord 
God of their lathers, and served '' gro\es and \} ^i"B»

19 Yet he sent prophets to them, to bring "-""^ 
them again unto the Lord ; and they testified 
against them : but thej' would not give ear.

21 And diey conspired against him, and "stoned » Manh. 
him with stones at the commandment of the king ac" 
in the court of the house of the Lord. 

22 Thus Joash the king rememlx^red not the

11 Moreo\er, Uzzia.h had aii « host of fighting

13 And under their hand vjas t an army, three 
hundred thou.sand and se\en thousimd and five 
hundred, that made \\ar w ith mighty power, to 
help die king against the enemy. 

14 And Uzziah prepared for them throughout 
all the host, shields, and spears, and helmets, and 
habergeons, and bows, iuid t slings to cast stones. 

15 vVnd he made in Jerusalem engines, iuAcnt- 
ed by cunning men, to be on the towers and 
upon the bulwarks, to shoot arrows iuid great 
stones withal. And his name |- spread fiir abroad; 
lor he was mar\ellou«ly helped, till he was 
strong. 

16 ll But when he was strong, 'his lieait was 
lifted up to his destruction : for he transgressed 
against the Lord his God, and •" went into the 
temple of the Loud ^ to burn incense upon the 
altar of incense. 

17 And Azariah the priest went in after him, 
and w ith him fourscore priests of the Lord, that 
U'cre valiant men : 

18 And the}" withstood Uzziah the king, and 
said unto him, Ji "' appertai?icth not imto thee, 
Uzziali, to burn incense inito the Lord, but to 
die " priests the sons of AiU'on, that arc conse- 
crated to bum incense : go out of the sanctuary ; 
for thou hast trespassed ; neither shall it be " for 
thine honour from the Lord God. • 

19 Then Uzziah was wroth, and had 'A censer 
in his hand to bum incense : and w liile he \\as 
wroth with the priests, the leprosy e\en rose up 
in his foiehead before the priests in the house of 
the Lord, from beside the incense altar. 

20 And Azai'iah the chief priest, and all the 
priests, looked upon him, and, behold, '' he ilv:.? 
leprous in his forehead, and they thrust him out 
from thence ; yea, himself ^^ hasted also to go out, 
because the Lord had smitten him. 

21 ^ And Uzziah the king was a leper unto 
the day of his death, and dw elt in a ' r se\eral 
house, behig a leper; for he was cut ott' from the 
house of the Lord : and Jodiam his son ivas 
over the king's house, judging the people of tlie 
land. 

22 II Now^ the rest of the acts of Uzziah, first

23 So Uzziah " slept w ith his fathers, and they

OTHAM ^was twenty and five years 
when he began to reign, and he reigned six- 
a2Kin *^^" ycar.s in Jerusalem. His mother's name 
?s. m%c. also was .lerushah, the daughter of Zadok. 

2 And he did tliat which was right in the sight 
of the Lord, ''according to all that his father 
Uzziah did : howbeit, he entered not into the 
temple of the Lord. *= And the people did j-et 
corruptly. 

3 He built the high gate of the house of the 
Lord, and on the wdl of || Ophel he built much. 

4 Moreo'ver, he built cities in the moinitains 
of Judiih, and in the forests he built "^ castles and 
towers. 

5 ][ He fought also Vv ith the king of the Am- 
monites, and pre\ailed against them. And the 
chikb-en of Amnion ga\-e him the same year 
an hundred talents of sih'er,_ and ten thousand 
lyieasures of \\ heat, anxl ten thousand of barley, 
i' So much did the children of Ammon pay unto 
him, both the second yeiu-, and the third. 

6 So Jotham became mighty, because he |j pre- 
pared his ways before the Lord his God. 

7 IT Now the rest of the acts of Jotham, and 
all his Mars, and his ^^ays, lo, they are ^^ritten 
in ^the book of the kings of Israel and Judiili. 

8 He A\"as ^ hve and t^\■enty years old when he 
began to reign, and reigned sixteen yeai-s in 
Jerusalem. 

9 ^ And Jotham ^ slept \v itli his fathers, and 
they buried him in the city of Da^ id : and Ahaz 
his son reigned in his stead. 

CHAP, xxvin. 

1 Ahaz reigning very wickedly, is greatly af- 
flicted by the Syrians. 6 fudah being capti- 
vated by the Israelites, is sent Iiome by the 
counsel of Oded the prophet. 1Q> Ahaz sending 
for aid to Assyria, is not helped thereby. 22 ]?i 
his distress he groweth more idolatrous. 26 He 
dying, Hezekiah succecdeth him. 

HAZ ^ was twenty j-ears old ^\ hen he began 

to reign, and he reigned sixteen years in 

Jerusalem : but he did not that which was right 

in the sight of the Lord, like David his father: 

2 For he \A-alked in the \vaj's of the kings of Is- 
rael, and made also ^ molten images for ^ Baalim. 

3 Moreover he || biu'ut incense in ^ the \-alley 
cj.|dge8 of the son of Hinnom, and burnt 'his children 

ov'.ojrered in tlic firc, aftcr the abominations of the heathen 
whom the Lord had cast out before the children 
of Israel. 

4 He sacrificed also and burnt incense in the 
high places, and on the hills, aixl under e\ery 
green tree. 

5 Wherefore the ^Lord his God delivered 
him into the hand of the king of Syria ; and they 
smote him, and can-ied a\vay a great multitude 
of them captives, and brought thetii to f Da- 
mascus. And he was also deli\ered into the 
hand of the ^king of Israel, who smote him with 
a great slaughter.

offended against the Lord already, ye intend 
to add miOre to our sins and to our trespass ; 
for our trespass is great, and ^ there is fierce p 2 Ki^Kj 
wrath against Israel. fzraio.u. 

14 So the armed men left the captives and the 
spoij before the princes and all the congregation. 

15 And the men Mhich "^wex^e expressed by qversei^ 
name rose up, and took the capti\es, and -u ith 

the spoil clothed all that were naked among them, 
and iUTayed them, and shod them, ""and ga^•e them ^l^'"S' 
to eat and to di'ink, and anointed diem, and carried pVov- 
all the feeble of them upon asses, and brought "" ^'' 
them to Jericho, nhe city of palm-trees, to their ^ dcm.

16 _T[ At that time did ' king Ahaz send unto 
the kings of Assyria to help him.

of the low country, and of the south of Judah, " 
arid had taken Beth-shemesh, and Ajalon, and 
Gederoth, and Shocho \\-ith the villages there-

there. 

19 For the Lord brought Judith low because 
of Ahaz king of Israel ; for he made Judah "'naked

24 And .\haz gathered together die \essels

of the house of the Loud, and he made him

27 And Ahaz slept with his fathers, and they

24 And rhe priests killed them, and the3- made 
I'ccoiiciliation with their blood upon the altai", to 
make an ^ atonement for all Israel : for the king- 
commanded ihat the burnt-oft'ering and the sin- 
oftering should be made for ali Israel. 

25 "^ And he set tiie LeAites in the hou.se of the 
Lord with cymbals, \\ith psalteries, and with 
hmps, ' according to the commiuidment of Da- 
vid, and of ^ Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the 
prophet : for so -ivas the commandment t of the 
Lord t by his prophets. 

26 And the Le\ites stood w-ith tlie instruments 
of Da-N'id, and the priests with the trumpets. 

27 And Hezekiiih commanded ic ofier tlie 
bmnit-offering upon the altai\ And i' when the 
burnt-oftering began, the song of the Lord be- 
gan also A\"ith tlie trumpets, and with the f insti"u- 
ments ordained by Da^•id king of Israel. 

28 And all the congregation worshipped, and 
the t singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded : 
and->x\\ this continued until the burnt-offering was 
finished. 

29 And whqn they had made an end of offer- 
ing, the king and all that were f present with 
him ^ boA^ed themseh-es, and v\orshipped. 

30 !Moreo\'erHezekiali the king and the princes 
commanded tlie Le^•ites to sing praise unto the 
Lord with the words of Da^•id, and of * Asaph 
the" seer. And they sang praises with gladness, 
and they bowed their heads and worshipped. 

31 Then He zekiali answered and said. Now 
j^e have |i consecrated 3'ourseh'es unto the Lord, 
come neai- and bring sacrifices and thimk-ofter- 
ings into the house of the Lord. And the con- 
gregation bi-ought in sacrifices and ^ tliank-offer- 
ings ; and as many as were of a fi-ee heart, bunit- 
offerings. 

32 And the number of the burnt -offerings, 
which the congregation brought, ^ was tlireescore 
and ten bullocks, an hundi-ed rams, aiid two 
hundred lambs ; all these vjere for a bumt-offer- 
ing to the Lord. 

33 And the consecrated things ivere six han- 
dled oxen and three thousand sheep. 

34 But the priests were too few, so that they 
could not flay all the bunit-oft'erings : \\herefore 
their brethren the Levites t did help them, till 
the work was ended, and imtil the other priests 
had sanctified themsehes : for the ' Le\ites vjere 
more '' upright in heart to sanctify themselves 
than tlie priests. 

35 And also the bunit-offerings "were in abun- 
dance, w ith ' the fat of the peace-offerings, and 
the "' drink-offerings for e'verij bunit-offering. So 
the ser\ ice of the house of the Lord was set in 
order. 

36 And Hezekiah " rejoiced, and all the peo-. 
pie, that God had prepared the people : for the 
thing was done suddenly.

A ND Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, christ 
jf\. and wrote letters also to EphraimandMa- ,J^^'^ ^ 
iiasseh, that they should come to the house of tlie ^ ^ev-. - 
Lord at Jerusidem, ^ to keep the passover unto *^- *> *" ■ 
die Lord God of Israel. 

2 For the king had taken counsel, and his 
princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, 
to keep the passo\ er in the second ^ mondi. 

3 For they could not keep it at ' that time, be 
cause the priests had ^ not sanctified diemsehes e/is 
sufiicientl}-, neidier had the people gathered l^\l^ 
themselves together to Jerusalem. 

4 And the thing t pleased the king and all the t Heb. 

congregation. ,n the fy;: 

5 So they established a decree to make pro- "/""^"^i- 
clamation tlifoughout ^ all Israel, from Beer-she- ever.i 
ba even to Dan, tliat they should come to keep 

the passo^■er unto the Lord God of Israel at Je- 
rusalem : for they had not done it of a long time 
in such sort as it was written. 

6 So the posts went w ith the letters f from the J^ _ 
king and his princes throughout all Israel and '""«' 
Judah, and according to the commandment of 
the king, saying. Ye children of Israel, ^ turn again j<47i.''i*' 
unto the Lord God of Abi-aliam, Isaac, and Is- 
rael, and he Mill return to the remnant of you, 

that ai-e escaped out of tlie hand of ^ the kings of f.-j*^"^

16 And they stood in t their piacc after tlieir

of Lphraim, and Manassch, ls.sachar, and Zebu -

cat the passo\er otherwise than it was written. 
But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying. The 
go(xl Lord pardon e^■ery one 

19 That * preparetU his heart to seek God, the 
Lord (iod of his fathers, though he be woi 
cleimsed 'iXccorCim^ to the purification of the sanc- 
tuary. 

20 And the Lord hearkened to Hezekiah, 
and healed the ijcojile. 

21 And the chikken of Israel that were f pre- 
sent at .lerus.ilem kept the ^ feast of unlea\ened 
bread se\en diiys with great gladness : and the 
Levites and the priests praised the Loud day 
by day, singing with f loud instruments unto 
tlie Loud. 

22 And Hezekiah spake f comfortably unto 
all tlie Levites "^ that taught the good know ledge 
of the Lord : and diey did eat throughout the 
feast se\en days, oHcring i)cace-ofierIngs, and 
making confession to the Lorj) God of their 
fathers. 

23 And the whole assembly took counsel to 
keep other se\ en days : and they kept "^ other 
sc\en days w ith gladness. 

24 For " Hezekiah king of Judah f did give to 
the congregation a thousand bullocks and se^'en 
thousand sheep : and the i)rinces gave to the 
congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thou- 
sand sheep : and a "^ great number of priests 
siuictiiicd themsehes. 

25 And all the congregation of Judah, with 
the priests and the Le\ ites, and all the congre- 
gation *^ that came out of Israel, and the stnuigers 
that ciime out of the land of Israel, and that 
dwelt in Judali, rejoiced. 

2{) ISo there was great jov in Jerusalem : for 
since the time of Solomon the son of David king 
of Israel there was not the like in Jerusalem. 

27 If Then the priests the Levites iiro.se ''and 
blessed the people : and their voice was heard, 
aixl their pniyer came up to f his holy dweiling-

NOW when all tliis was finished, i !l Israel 
that were f present went o;it to the ci'ies 
of Juduh, and -^brike the ti'^ii^STCs in pieces, and 
cut down the groves, arid threw dow n the high 
places and the altars out of all J'-idia and Benja- 
min, in ICphraim also and Manasseh, t until they 
h.d utterly destroyed them all. Then all the 
children of Israel returned, e\ery man to his 
possession, into their own cities. 

2 TI And Hezekiah appointed the ^ courses 
of the priests •= and the Levites after their cour- 
ses, even,' man according to his service, the 
priests and Levites for burnt-offerings and for 
peacc-ofl'erings, to minister and to give thanks, 
and to praise in the gates of the tents of the

morning and evening burnt-offerings, and the 
burnt-offerings foi' the sabbaths, and for the new-

4 Moreo\ cr, he commanded the people that 
dwelt in Jerusalem to gi\e the '^ portion of the 
priests luid the Le\ites, that they might be en- 
couraged in e the law of the Lord. 

5 H And as soon as the commandment f came

dance *'the first-fruits of corn, wine, and oil, and 
II honey, and of all the increase of the field; and 
the tithe of all things brought tliey in abim-

AgatJist tlie blasphemies of Sennacherib by mes-

21 An angel destroyeth the host of the Assy- 
rians, to the glory of Hezekiah. 24 Hezekiah

AFTER ^these things, and the establishment 
thereof, Sennacherib king of Assyria came,

II diuts and shields in abundance. 

6 And he set captains of Avar over the people,

himself laid siege against Lachish, and all his

Siilem, tis nrpiiist the gods of the people of the !! 
Ciirth, ivhichwcrc the work of the hands of man. 

20 -Vncl for this cause HcKekiah the king, and 
tlic prophet Isaiah the son ofAuioz, 'prayed and 
ericd to hea\eM. 

21 1 And the Lord sent an ^an^el, vhieh cut 
oft' all the niii,dity men of valour, and the leaders 
and eapt "ins in the camp of the king- of Assyria. 
So he returned with shame of face to hi*, own 
land. And when he was come into the house of 
his god, they that came forth of his own ho\iels 
t slew him there with the sword. 

22 Thus the Lord saved Hezckiah and the 
inhabitants of .Icrusalem from the hand of Sen- 
nachcril^ tlic king of Assyria, and from the hand 
of all ot/ur, and guided them on Q\e\\ side. 

23 And many brought "gifts unto the Loun 
to .Jerusalem, and f presents to Hezekiah king of 
Judah : so that he was magnified in the sight of 
all nations from thenceforth. 

24 1 * In those days Hezekiah was sick to the 
death, and prayed unto the Loud : and he spake 
unto him, and he || gave him a sign. 

23 But Hezekiah -rendered not again accord- 
ing to die benefit (lone unto him ; > for his heiu't 
was lifted u]> : therefore there was a\ rath upon 
him, and upon Judah and Jerusalem. 

20 Notw ithstanding, Hezekiah humbkd him- 
self for tthe pride of his heart, both he and the 
inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that the 'wiath of 
the Loun came not upon diem ""in the days of 
Hezekiah. 

27 t And Hezekiah had exceeding much 
riches and honour: and he made himself trea- 
suries for siher, and for gold, and for precious 
stones, and for spices, and for shields, and for 
all manner of t pleasant jew els ; 

28 Storehouses also for the increase of corn, 
ami w ine, and oil ; and sUiUs for all manner of 
beasts, and cotes for Hf)cks. 

29 .Mort ()\er, he provided him cities, and pos- 
sessions of Hocks and herds in abundance : for 
" God had given him sul^stance veiy much. 

30 This same Hezekiah also "* stopped the up- 
per w ater-course of Gihon, and brought it straight 
down to the west side of the city of David. And 
Hezekiah pros])ered in all his works. 

3 1 1j Howbeit, in f/ic business afxhQ f ambassa- 
dors of the princes of Babylon, who 'sent unto 
him to enquire of the wonder that was (lone in 
the land, God left him, "^to try him, that he 
might know all that was in his hciu't. 

32 1iNo\\ the rest of the acts of Hezekiah, 
and his | goodness, behold, the\ are w ritten in 
the « vision of Isaiah the piophct, the son of 
Amoz, and in the book of the kings of Judah 
and Israel. 

33 And Hezekir.h ^ slept with his ftithers, and 
they buried him in the || c.hiefest of the scpulchies 
of die sons of David: and al! Judah and the iii- 
hal>itants of Jerusalein did him 'honour at his

saline:, Hilkiiili the priest hath 5i\en me a book. 
And Shi'phan read f it belore the kintj. 

19 And it came to pass w hen the kiiig had hciU'd 
the words of the law, th.it he ''rent his clothes. 

20 And the kini^ commanded Hiikiali, and 
xVJiikam tlie son of Shaphan, and || Abdon the son 
of Micah, and Shaphiin the scribe, and Asaiali 
a serviuit of the king's, siiying, 

21 Go, enquire of the Loud for me, ar.d 'fen- 
them that are left in Lrael and in Judah, con- 
cerning tlie Tvords of the book that is found: lor 
great is 'tlie wrath of the Lord that is poured 
out upon us, because our fathers ha^ e not kept 
the word of die Loud, to do after all that is 
written in this book. 

22 And HilkiaJi, and t/icf/ that the king /wd 
appointed, wcnX. to Huldah the prophetess, the 
wife of Shallum the son of Tikvath, the son of 
II Hasrah, keeper of the f waixlrobe ; (no\\' she 
dwelt in Jerusalem || in the college:) and they 
spake to her to that ej'ect. 

2.3 IF And she ansN\ered them, Thus saith the 
Loud GckI of Israel, Tell ye the man that sent 
jou to me, 

24 Thus saith the Lord, Behold, I will 
bring evil upon this place, and upon the in- 
habitiints thereof, e=-ccn all tlie 'curses tliat iue 
written in the book which they have read before 
the king of Judith : 

25 Because they have forsaken me, and have 
bunied incense unto other gods, that iJiey might 
pi'ONoke me to anger with all the works of their 
hands ; therefore my wrath shall be poured out 
upon this place, "and shall not be ciuenched. 

26 And as for die king of JucUiJi, \\ho sent 
you to enqune of the Lord, so shall ye say unto 
him. Thus saith the Lord God of Israel con- 
LCrniup the w ords which thou hast heard ; 

27 Because thine heiirt was tender, and thou 
didst himible thjself before God, when thou 
heardest his words against this place, and against 
the inhal)itiints thereof, and humlDledst thjselt 
before me, '■and didst rend diy clothes, iuid 
weep before me; I have even heard thee also,

28 Behold, I will g;ithcr thee to diy fathers, 
and thou shalt be gathered to thy gra\e in ''peace, 
neither shall tJiine eyes see all the e^■il that 1

Levites, and all Judah and Israel that '\\ ere pre-

19 -In the eighteenth year of the reign of 
Josiah was this passover kept.

pai-ed the f temple, "^Necho king of Egypt came 
up to fight against Chai-chennish by Euphrates :

God comn^anded me to make haste : forbear 
thee from meddling %vith God, who is with me,

22 Nevertheless Josiah _ w-ould not turn his

might fight with him, and heai'kened not unto

NOW ^\\hen these things were done, the

not '' separated themselves from the people of the

even of the Canaanites, the Hittites, the Periz- 
zites, the Jebusites, the Ammonites, the Moab- 
ites, the Eg\-p^ians, and the Amqrites. 

2 For they have ^ taken of their daughters for 
themselves, and for their sons : so that the ^ holy 
seed have ^mingled themselves with the people 
of those lands : yea, the hand of the princes and 
rulers hath been chief in this ti'espass. 

3 And Mhen I heard this thing, ^I rent my 
garment and my mantle, and plucked off the 
hair of my head and of my beard, and sat do^iTi 
^ astonied. 

4 Then were assembled unto me CAcry one 
that trembled at the \\-ords of the God of Israel, 
because of the transgression of those thac had 
been carried away ; and I sat astonied until tlie 
evening sacrifice. 

5 ^And at the evening sacrifice I arose up 
fixtxn my || heaviness ; and having rent my gar- 
ment and my mantle, I fell upon my knees, 'and 
spread out my hands unto the Loud my God; 

6 And said, O niy God, I am ashamed, and 
blush to lift up my face to thee, my God : for 
our iniquities are increased oa er our head, and 
our II trespass is gro^A n up ^ unto the heavens. 

7 Since the days of our fathers have \\e been 
in a great trespass unto this daj^ ; and for our 
iniquities have we, our kings, and our priests, 
been delivered into the hand of the kings of the 
lands, to the sword, to captivitj', and to a spoil, 
and to confusion of face, as it is this dav. 

8 And nov,' for a f little space grace hath been 
shelved from the Lokd onr God, to leave us a 
i-emnant to escape, and to give us || a nail in his 
holy place, that our God may * lighten our ej-es,

ed mercy unto us in the sight of the kings of 
Persia, to give us a reviving, to set up the house 
of onr God, and fto repair the desolations 
chereof, and to gi\e us a "v^all in Judali and m 
Jerusalem. 

10 And now, O our God, what shall we say 
after this '? for we have forsaken thy comanand- 
ments, 

1 1 \\1-iich thou hast -^ commanded-f by th^ser- " °^''- 
vsnts ihe prophets, saying. The land, unto A^hich byth/kant 
ye go to possess it, is an unclean laiid with the '£^'11 '"' 

'■ filthiness of the people of the lands, with their o chap. 
abomiiiations, which have filled it f from one end ^"^^^^ 
to another with their uncleanness. _ /'-<"'< «^w< 

12 Now therefore ^ give not your daughters p^™d.'' 
unto dieir sons, neither take their daughters unto ~^^^f'^ ^ 
your sons, i nor seek their peace or their wealth qD^Jt.^' 
for ever : that ye may be strong, and eat the good -^- ^■

5'our chi dren for ever. ^e. 7. 

13 And after all that is come upon us for our 
evil deeds, and for our great trespass, seeing that 

tliou our God t hast punished us less than our L"/^,r7j- 
iniquities deserve, and hast gi\'en us such deli- ^Mbe. 

'■ , . ' " nesth our

these abominations ? ^A'ouldest not thou be angrj* 23/27. ' 
widi us "till thou hadst consumed us^ so that ""«"«• ^-f-

15 O Lord God of Israel, thou "^^^/^ righteous: ^ff^-

6 TI Tlicn Ezra ' ro.se up i 
of God, and went into the chamber of .lohaiian 
the son ol" Eliashib : and ivhai he came thiiher, 
he did eat ^ no bread, nor drink water : ibr he 
mounied because of the transgression of them 
tliat had been canied away. 

7 And they made ' proclamation throughout 
Judah and Jerusalem unto all the children iA 
the captivity, that they shch.ild gather tliemsclves 
together unto Jerusalem ; 

8 And that w hosoe\ er would not come with- 
in '^ three days, according to the counsel of the 
princes and the elders, all his substance should 
be t forfeited, and himself separated from tlit 
congregation of those that had been cairied 
away. 

9 ^Thcn all the men of Judah and Benjamin 
gathered them.selves together unto Jerusalem 
within three days. It vjiis the ninth month, 
:md the twentieth clat/ of the montli ; and all 
the i)eople sat in the street of the house of God, 
trembling because of this matter, " and for f tlie 
great rain. 

10 And Ezra the priest stood up, and said 
unto them, Ye have transgressed, and t haxoi 
taken strange \\i\es, to increase the trespass of 
Israel. 

1 1 Now therefore ° make confession imto the 
Lord God of your fathers, and do his plea- 
sure : and '' separate yourselves from die people 
of die land, and from the strange wives. 

12 Then all the congregation answered and 
siiid with a loud voice, *» -\s thou hast said, so 
must we do. 

13 But the people arc many, and it is a time 
of much rain, and we are not able to stand 
without, neither is this a work of one day or 
tw o : for il \\c ai'c many diat have transgi-essed in 
this thing. 

14 Let no\'.- our rulers of all the congi-egation 
stand, and let all them which have taken strange 
^vi^es in our cities come at appointed times, and 
with them die elders of eAer>- city, and the judges 
thereof, ' until the fierce m rath of our God || for 
this matter be turned from us.

1 A'enemiah nnderstandmg by Hanani, the 77iisertj 
of Jerusalem^ mourneth, fasteth., and praytth. 
5 His fjrayer. 

THE vv ords of ^ Neherniah the son of Ha- 
chaliah. And it came to pass in the month 
Chibleu, ''in the twentieth year, as I was 
in Shushan the palace, 

2 That '^ Hanani, one of my breihren, came, 
he and certain men of Judah ; and I asked them 
concerning the Jews that had escaped, which 
^s-ere lefc of the captivity, and concerning Jeru- 
salem. 

3 And they said nnto me, The remnant that 
are left of the captivity there in '^tlie pro\unce j 
are in great affliction and reproach : the wall of 
Jeriisaiem also " is broken do^^Ti, and the gates 
thereof are bnnied ^\"ith fire. 

4 <?[ And it came to pass, v^-hen I heard tliese 
words, that I sat do^^Ti and wept, and mourned 
certain days, and ^fasted, and prayed before the 
God of heaven, 

5 And said, I beseech thee, ^ O Lord God of 
hea\en, the great and terrible God, that keepetli 
co\"enaiit and mercy for them tlmt '"-love liimand 
obser\e his commandments : 

6 ' Let thine ear now be attentive, and tliine 
ej'es open, that thou mayest hear tlie prayer of 
thy servant, which I pray before tliee now, day 
and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, 
wid confess the sins of the children of Israel, 
which -".ve have sinned against Ahee : both I and 
my father's house have sinned. 

7 We have dealt '^ ver>' corruptly against thee, 
and ha^-e not kept tlie commandments, nor the 
statutes, nor the judgments, which thou com- 
mandedst thy servant Moses. 

8 Remember, I beseech thee, the word that 
thou commandedst thy servant Moses, saying, 
' If ye transgi-ess, I ■will scatter j'ou abroad 
among the nations : 

9 Bi\t ifyt turn unto me, and keep my com- 
mandments, and do them ; "" diough there %\-ere 
of yoti cast out imto die uttermost part of the 
heaven, yet will I gatlier them from thence, and 
will bring them unto the place that I ha\ e cho- 
sen to set my name there. 

10 No^\- these are tiiy serwints and " thy peo- 
ple, whom thou hast redeemed by thy gi-eat 
po\\er, and by diy strong hand. 

11 O Lord, I beseech thee, "let now thine 
ear be attentive to the prayer oi thy servant, and 
to the prayer of thy ser\ ants, ^ who desire to fear 
tll^■ name : and prosper, I pray thee, thy servant 
this day, and grant him mercy in the sight of 
this man, "sFor 1 was the king's cup-bearer.

AND it came to pass in the mcn.h Xi^rn, in 
the tvv'entieth yeai- of "^ Artaxerxes die king, 
that wine was before him ; and '' I took up the 
■wine, and ga\e it unto the king. No\\' I had not 
been before-time sad in his presence. 

2 A\'herefore the king said unto me, Why is 
thy cotmtenance sad, seeing thou art not sick ? 
diis is nodiing else but "^ son"o\\' of heait. Then I 
was ver\- sore afraid,

for ever : ^vhy should not my countenance be 
sad, -vA'hen the city, the place of my fadiers' se-

consumed with fire ? 

4 Then the kmg said unto me. For what dost 
thou make request? ^So I praj'^ed to the God of 
heaven, 

_ 5 And I said unto the king, If it please the 
king, and if th\- sei-vant have found fa\our in thy 
sight, diat thou wouldest send me unto Judali, 
unto the citj- of ray fathei^s' sepulclires, that I. 
may build it. 

6 And tlie king said unto me, (die f queen al- 
so sitting by him,) For how long shall diy jour- 
ney be '? and when wilt thou return ? So it pleased 
the king to send me ; ^and I set liim a time. 

7 jNloreover, I said unto the king. If it please 
the king, let letters be given me to the governors 
beyond the river, that thej^ may com-ey me o\er 
till I come into Judah ; 

^ 8 And a letter unto Asaph the keeper of tlie 
king's forest, diat he may give me timber to 
make beams for the gates of the ^ palace Avhich ^_9^'- 
appertained to the house, and for the vv-all of the 
city, and for the house that I shall enter into. 
And die king gi^anted me, ' according to the good 
haiid of mj- God upon me. 

9 'fi Then I came to die ^ governors beyond 
the ri\-er, and gave them the king's letters. Now 
the king had sent captains of the ai-niy and horse- 
men M'ith me. 

10 When Sanballat the Horonite, and Tobiali 
the servant, die Ammonite, heard of it, it ^ grieved 
them exceedingly that there was come a man to 
seek the welfare of the children of Isra.el. 

11 So I came to Jerusalem, and ^\'as there 
■" three days. 

12 U_ And I arose in the night, I and some few 
men ^vith me ; neither told I any man vvlnt my 
God had put in my heart to do at Jerusitle.n ; 
neither was tliere any beast vridi me, sa\'e die 
beast that I rode upon. 

13 And I \vent out by night by the " gate of 
die Aalley, even before the di-agon-wgll, and to 
the dung-port, and \'ievv-ed the walls of Jerusa- 
lem, " which Avere broken down, and the gates 
thereof were consumed Aviili fire. 

14 Then I went on to the ? gate of die foun- 
tain, and to the king's pool : but there was no 
place for the beast that was imder me to pass. 

15 Then went I up in the night by the "^ brook, 
and viewed die wall, and turned back, and en- 
tered by the gate of the valley, and so returned.

and secrets of the enemy, he setteth a watch. 
13 He armeth tlie labourers, 19 and gi'ceth mi-

BUT it came to pass, that Avhen *Sanba'lai

the JcAvs. 

2 And he spake before his bretliren, and the

themselves, sacrifice ? ^A ill tlicy make an end in a day '? wiii

17 Moreover, there were at my " table lui hun-

those that came tmto us from among the hea- ujsam. 
then that are about us. ^ ,.'/^ 

18 Now^ that which was prep;ired ^or me is-'iT 
"^ daily ivas one ox and six choice sheep; also«s«^ 
fowls were prepared for me, and once in ten 4.22* 
days store of all sorts in wine : " yet for all thi: 
required not I the bread 01 ;he governor, because 
the bondage was heavy iipor. this people. 

19 y Think upon me, 'my God, for good, ac- 
cording to all that I haA e done for this people. 

CHAP. VI. 
1 Sanballat practiseth by craft, by rumours, by 
hired prophecies, to terrify Nenemiah. 15 The 
ivork is 'finished to the terror of tlie enemies. 
17 Secret intelli^,ence passeth bctvoeen the ene- 
mies and the nobles ofjudah. 

NOW it came to pass, when " Sanballat, and \!^^;^- 
Tobiah, and ''Geshein the Arabian, and ^'j-^- 
the pest of our enemies, heard that I had btiilded '>'^'"see. 
the wail, imd that there was no breach left there- 
in; ('.hough 'at diat time I had not set up the \^^l' 
doors upon the gates ;) 

2 That Sanballat and Gcshem sent unto me, 
saying, '^Come, let us meet together in some one ^^^Z-*'' 
o/'the villages in the plain of *^Ono. ''But they eichron. 
thought to do me mischief. J;^^,; 

3 And I sent messengers unto them, saying, "J'- 
I am doing a great A\ork, so that I cannot come 37.t2r:2 
down : w hy should the m ork cease, \\ hilst I 
icave it, and come dow n to you ? 

4 Yet they sent imto me four times after tliis 
sort ; and 1 answered them after the same 
iTianner. 

5 Then sent Sanballat his ser\ant unto me in 
like manner the fifth time widi an open letter 
in his h;uid ; 

6 \\'herein ivas written, It is reported among 

the heathen, and || Gitshmu saith it, "i/uit thou «.•■;'„, 
and the Jews think to rebel: for which cause vcr^ciu 
thou buildest the wall, that thou majest be their f/^f'' 
king, according to these words. 

7 -Vnd thou kust also appointed prophets lo 
preach of thte at Jerusalem, saying, There is a 
king in Judah : and now shall it be reported to 
the king according to these words. C(jme now 
tlierefbre, and let us tiike counsel together. 

8 Then I sent imlo him, sa\ing, There are 

no ^ such tilings done as thou sityest, but thou 1. vcrse «. 
feignest them out of thine ow n heiut. 

9 For they all made us afi-aid, saying, Tlieir 
hands shall be weakened from the work, that it 
be not (lone. Now tlierefbre, God, strengthen 
my hands. 

10 Afierward 1 came unto the house of 'She- 'f"»"- 
maiali the son of ^Delaiah the son of Meheta- ^I^Jl'^-^ 
beel, w ho was shut up ; and he said, Let us meet 
together in the house of God, w ithin the tem- 
ple, and let us shut the doors of the temple : for 

they will come to slay thee; yea, in tJie night 
will thev come to sla\ thee. 

1 1 And I said, • Should such a mmt as I flee? ^"T^"- 
iuid who is there, that, bein-^ as I am, would go 
into the temple to save his lid'? I will not go in.

12 And, lo, I perceived that God had not 
sent liim, "' but that he pronounced this prophecy 
a^-ainst me : for Tobiah and Sanballat bad hired 
him. 

13 Therefore ivas he hired, that I should be 
afraid, iind do so, and sin, and tha.i they might 
have matter for an evil report, that they might 
reproach me. 

14 My God, " think thou upon Tobiali and 
Sanbaiiat according to these their works, and 
on the ° prophetess Noadiah, and the rest of the 
prophets, that would have put me in fear. 

15 T[ So the wall was finished in the twenty 
and fifth day of the month Eiul, in fifty and two 
days. 

16 And it came to pass, ^ that when all our ene- 
mies heard thereof, and all the heathen tliat ivere 
about us saw these things,, they were much cast 
dowii in their o^vn eyes : for they perceived that 
this work "^ was wrought of our God. 

17 H Moreover in those days the nobles of 
Judah t sent many letters unto Tobiali, and the 
letters of Tobiah came unto them. 

18 For there %vere many in Judah sworn unto 
him, because he ivas the son-in-law of Shecha- 
niali the son of '' Arah ; and his son Johanan liad 
taken tlie daughter of ^ MeshuUam the son of 
Bei'cchiah. 

U9 Also they reported his good deeds before 
me, and uttered my || words to him. And To- 
biah sent letters to * put me in fear.

appointed, 

2 That I gave my '' brother Hanani, and Ha-

3 And I said unto them, Let not the gates of

while they stand by, let them shut the doors, 
and bar them: and appoint watches of the inha- 
bitants of Jerusalem, every one in his watch, and 
every one to be OA'cr against his house. 

4 Now the city was ■\ large and great : but 
the people w^rf few therem, '' and the houses wtTd" 
not builded.

6 And Ezra blessed the Lord, the great God. 
Aii^ all the people answered, ' Amen, Amen, 
with ^ lifting up their hands : and ^ they bo^^-ed 
their heads, and worshipped the Lord with 
their faces to the ground.

8 So they read in the book in the law of God 
distincth*^, and gave the sense, and caused them 
to understand the reading. 

9 Ti And Nehemiah, which is \\ the Tirshatha, 
and Ezra the priest tlie scribe, and the Levites 
that taught the people, said unto all the people, 
" This day is holy unto the Lord your God; 
" mourn not, nor weep. For all the people wept, 
when they heaicl the \a ords of the law. 

10 Then he said unto them, Go your way, 
eat tlie fat, and drink the sweet, p and send por- 
tions unto them for whom nothing is prepared : 
for this day is holy unto our Lord : neither be 
ye sorry : for the joy of the Lord is your 
strength. 

1 1 So the Levites stilled all the people, saving, 
Hold your peace, for the day is holy ; neither be 
ye grieved. 

12 And all the people went their way to eat, 
and to drink, "^ and to send portions, and to make 
great mirth, because "" they had understood the 
words that were declared unto them. 

13 TI And on tlie second day were gathered 
together the chief of the fathers of all the people, 
the priests, and the Levites, unto Ezra the scribe, 
even || to understand the woi'ds of the law. 

„K-^.T^. 14 And they found written in die law which 
»:theja-^. the Lord had commanded t by Moses, that the 

childien of Israel should dv.ell in ' booths in the 

feast of the se\enth month : 

15 Andthat they should publish * and proclaim 
in all dieir cities, and in Jerusalem, saying, " Go 
forth unto die mount, and fetch oli\'e-branches,

16 ^ So the people \^ent forth, and brought

in the wilderness, so that they lacked nothing; 
their "^ clothes waxed not old, and their feet

22 Moreo^•er thou gavest tliem kingdoms and 
nations, and didst di\ide tliem into comers : so 
tliey possessed the land of " Sihon, and the land

26 Neverdieless they ^\'ere disobedient, and 
rebelled against thee, and cast thy la\\- behind 
tlieir backs, and sle^^• thy ' prophets which testi- 
fied against diem to turn them to thee, i«id they 
wrought great pro\ocations. 

27 Therefore thou ' deli\eredst them into the

in the time of their trouble, when they cried unto 
thee, thou heardest them from hea\en ; luid ac- 
cording to thy maniibld mercies thou " gavest 
them saviours, a\ ho siived them out of die hand 
of their enemies. 

28 But after they had i"est, f they did evil 
again before thee : therefore leftest thou them in 
the hand of their enemies, so that they had die 
dominion o^er them : yet when they returned, 
and cried unto thee, thou heardest them from 
heaven ; and * many times didst thou deliver 
them according to tliy mercies ; 

29 And testifiedst against them, that thou 
mightest bring them, again unto thy law : ^ yet 
tliej^ dealt proudly, and hearkened not unto thy 
commandments, but sinned agauist thy judg- 
ments, (which if a man do, * he shrill live in 
them ;) and f wiihdiew the shoulder, and har- 
dened their neck, and \vould not hear. 

30 Yet many yeats didst tliou f forbear them, 
and testifiedst •* against them by thy spirit f in 
thy prophets : yet A\'ould they not gi\'e ear : 
therefore gavest thou them into tlie hand of the 
people of the lands. 

31 Nevcrtlieless for diy great mercies' sake 
thou didst not utterly consume them, nor for- 
sake them ; for thou art a gracious and merci- 
ful God. 

32 NoA\' dierefore, our God, the gi^eat, the 
might}', and the terrible God, •= who keepest 
co\enant and merc\", let not all the f trouble 
seem little before thee, f that hath come upon 
us, on our kings, on our princes, and on our 
priests, and on our prophets, and on our fatliers, 
and on all thy people, '' since the time of the 
kings of Assyria unto this day. 

33 Howbeit thou art ' just in all that is brought 
upon us ; for thou hast done right, ' but \ve liave 
done ^^•ickedly : 

34 Neither lia\e our kings, our. princes, our 
priests, nor our fathers, kept tlij- la^v, nor heark- 
ened unto thy commandments and thy te;sti-" 
monies, wherewith diou didst testify against 
them. 

35 For they have ^ not .served thee in their 
kingdom, and in tliy great goodness that thou 
ga\est them, ^ and in the large and fat laml which 
thou gavest before them, neidier turned they 
from dieir w icked works. 

36 Behold, ' we are serviuits diis day, and./o/- 
the land that thou gavest unto our fatliers to eat 
the fruit thereof and the good tlicreof, behold, 
WQ. are ser\ants in it : 

37 And it yieldeth much increase unto the

ing the o\ersiglit of the chamber of the house of 
our God, ivas allied unto Tobiali : 

5 And he had prepai-ed for him "^ a great cham- 
ber, Avhere aforetime they laid the meat-offer- 
ings, the fr.mkincense, luid die \essels, ' and the 
tithes of die corn, the new Mine, and the oil, 
t \vhich was commanded to be ghcti to the Le- 
V ites, and the singers, and the porters ; and the 
offerings of the priests. 

6 But in all this time ^Aas not I at Jerusalem : 
^ for in the t\\ o and thirtieth ycm- of Arraxcrxcs 
king of Bab3lon came I unto the king, and f af- 
ter certain days || obtained 1 leave ot'tlie king : 

7 And I came to Jerusalem, and understood 
of the evil that Kiiashib did for Tobiah, ^ inpre- 

g ver.L s. p.^ipg \y^y\\ a cliambcr in die courts of the house 
of God. 

8 And it giieved me sore : therefore I cast 
forth ail the household stuff of Tobiah out of 
die chamber. 

9 Then I commanded, ''and they cleansed the 
chambers : and thither brought 1 again the ves- 
sels of the house of God, Avith the meat-offering 
and the frankincense. 

10 Tl And I perceived that the • portions of the 
Levites had not been gi\en thcni : for the Le- 
vi tes and the singers, that did the work, ^ were 
fled every one to his field. 

1 1 Then ' coritendcd I ^^ iih the rulers, and 
said, '" \Vhy is the house of God forsaken "? and 

I gathered them together, and set them in their 
t place. 

12 " Then brought all Judah the tithe of the 
com and the new wine and die oil unto the 

II treasuries. 

13 And I made ° treasurers over the treasuries, 
Shelemiah die priest, and Zadok die scribe, and 
of the Levites, Pedaiah : and t next to them 
ivas Haniui the son of Zacciu*, the son of Mat-

2 That in those da>s, when the king Aha- 
suerus sat on the thror^e of his kingdom, which 
was in ^ Shushan the palace, 

3 In the third j-efir of his reign, * he made a 
feast unto all his pi-inces and his servants ; the 
power of Persia and Media, the nobles and 
princes of the provinces, being before him : 

4 When he shewed the riches of his glo- 
rious kingdom and the honour of his excellent 
majesty many days, even an hundred and four- 
score days. 

5 And \\hen these days -were expired, the king 
made a feast unto all the people that were f pre- 
sent in Shushan the palace, both unto great and 
small, seven days, in the court of the garden of 
^the king's palace ; 

6 Where were white, green, and !| blue hang-

to sih'cr rmgs and pillars of mai'ble : the beds 
u'frf (2/^ gold and silver, upon a pavement || of 
red, and blue, and v\hiLe, and black mai'ble. 

7 And they gave them drink in vessels of gold, 
(the vessels being diverse one from another,) and 
t ro3'al VvJne in abundance, t according to the 
state of the king. 

8 And the drinking ivas according to the law; 
non.e did compel : for so the king had appointed 
to all the officers of his house, that tliey should 
do according to every man's pleasure. 

9 Also Vashti the queen made a feast for the 
Momen in the royal house which belonged to king 
Ahasuerus. 

10 If On the seventh day ,«^ when the heart of the 
king A\as merry with wine, he commanded Me-

served in the presence of Ahasuerus the king, 

11 • To bring Vashii the queen before the king 
widi tlie crown royal, to shew the people and the 
princes her beauty : for she was f lair to look on. 

12 But the queen Vashti refused to come at 
the king's commandment f by his chamberlains : 
thereibre was the king veiy wroth, and his anger 
burned iii him. 

13 •jl Then the king said to the "^ v\ ise men,

carried i:«ay with Jcconiah king of JudaJi, 
whom Nebii'chadutzzar the king of Babylon had 
carried away. 

7 And he f brought up Hadassah, that is, 
Esther, his uncle's cbughtcr: for she had nei- 
ther father nor mother, and the maid 7.1;^.? 
t fair and Ixautiful; ^\hom Mordccai, A\'hcn

8 H So it came to pass, when the king's

unto Sliushan the palace, to the custody of 
Hegai, that Esther wiis brought also unto the

TC'jre meet to be given her, out of the king's

10 Esdier had not shewed htr people nor her

Esdier did, and what should become of her. 

12 H Now w hen t\uy maid's turn was come

to destroy all the Jews that ivere throughout tlie

7 IT In the first month, tliat is, the month 
Nisan, in the twelfth year of king Ahasue- 
rus, they cast '' Pur, that is, the lot, before Ha- 
man from diiy to day, aiid from montli to 
month, to the twelfth ?nonth, that is the month 
Adar. 

8 TiAnd Haman said unto king Ahasuerus, 
There is a certain people scattered abroad and 
dispersed among the people in all the provinces 
of thy kingdom ; and their laws are diverse from 
all people ; ' neither keep they the king's laM's : 
therefore it is not f for the king's profit to suffer 
them. 

9 If it please the king, let it be written fthat 
thejirfnay be destroyed: and I will f pay ten thou- 
sand talents of silver to the hands of those that 
ha^'e the charge of the business, to bring it into 
the king's treasuries. 

10 And the king took his ''ring firom his hand, 
and gave it unto Haman the son of Hammedatha 
the Agagite, the Je^^'s_' || enemy. 

11 And the king said unto Haman, The silver 
is given to thee, the people also, to do with them 
as it seemeth good to thee. 

12 Then were the king's || scribes called on 
the thirteenth day of the first month, and there

CHAP. IV. 
1 The great mourning of Mordecai and the Je%vs. 
4 Esther, understanding it, scndeth to Mordecai, 
who she\veth the cause, and achisetli her to un- 
dertake the suit: 10 she, excusing /lerself, is 
threatened by Mordecai: 15 she, appointing a 
fast, imdertaketh the sidt. 

WHEN Mordecai perceived all that was 
done, ^Mordecai rent his clothes, and put 
on sackcloth '' with ashes, and ^vent out into the 
midst of tlie cit>% and aied "^ with a loud and a 
bitter cr>' ; 




many. 
■Heb. 

eunuchs. 



2 And came tx^n before the king's gate : for 
none might enter into the king's gate clothed 
with sacKcloth. 

3 And in everj^ province, whithersoever the 
king's commandment and his decree came, 

"^ there was great mourning arnong the Jews, and ^^f"- 
fasting, and weeping, and Availing; and f many z^<^'j^i2-^ 
lay in sackcloth and ashes. u. ' ' 

4 Tf So Esther's maids and her f chamberlains l^^^^l'^th 
came and told it her. Then was the queen ex- ^f^^fj^^^ 
ceedingly g^ie^'ed ; and she sent raiment to cio'he ZTr "' 
Mordecai, and to take av/ay bis sackcloth ironi '^] 
him : but he received it not. »' 

_ 5 Then called Esther for Hatach, one of the 
king's chamberlains, f whom he had appointed ^„"/^ -^^ 
to attend upon her, and gave him a commaicU ¥f','jj'^' 
ment_ to Mordecai, to know what it ivas, and 
why it was. 

6 So Hatach went forth to Mordecai, unto the 
street of tlie city, %\-liich was before tne ^ king's ^ verse2. 
gate. 

7 And Mordecai told liim of ail thac had hap- 
pened unto him, and of the sum of ^'he money fchap. 3.9. 
that Haman had promised to pay to tlie king's 
treasuries for the Jews, to destroy them. 

8 Also he ga^'e him the ^ copy of the writing f.^Jj. 
of the decree that was given at Shushan to 
destroj" them, to shew it unto Esther, and to 
declare it unto her, and to charge her that ^ she ^ ^^^v. 
should go in unto the king, to make supplication *' ^' 
unto him, and to make request before him for 

her people. 

9 And Hatach came and told Esther the woixls 
of Mordecai. 

10 IT Again Esther spake unto Hatach, and 
gave him commandment unto INlordecai ; 

11 All the king's ser\ants, and the people of 
the king's provinces, do knov.-, that -whosoever, 
whether man or woman, shall come unto the 

king into the 'inner court, who is not called, ichap.5.1. 
there is ''one lav.- of his to put him to death, ex- kDaji.2.9. 
cept such to whom the king shall 'hold out the icii^p-s.s. 
golden sceptre, that he may li^'C : but I ha^■e 
not been called to come in unto the king these 
thirty days. 

12 And they told to Mordecai Esther's ^vords. 

13 Then Mordecai commanded to aiiswer 
Esther, Think not with thyself that thou shaft 
escape in the king's house, more than all the 
Je^vs. 

14 For if tliou altogether boldest thy peace 

at this time, then shall there f enlargement f" "^i^-

Esther advcntiirhr.^ on the king''sfai}Our, obtairi-

the i Jig and naman to a banquet: 6 s/ie., being 
encouraged by t lie king in her suit., iwxdteth them 
to another bitnauct the next day. 9 Haniun, 
proud of his aihanccment, repineth at tlie con- 
tempt of Mordecai: 14 bu the counsel q/Zeresh, 
he L'uiidethfor h'lm a gcillo-ws. 

NOW it came to pass on tlie '' third day, that 
Es'her put on her royal apparel., and stood 
i.i the *" ir.ixr court of tlie king's house, over 
against the king's house : and the king sat upon 
his royal thione in the royal house, oxer against 
the gate of the house. 

2 And it was so, when the king saw Esther 
the queen sta^Kling in the court, "= that she ob- 
'.iiintd favour in his sight : and the king ''held out 
to Esther the golden sceptre that vcas in his 
hai.d. So Esther drew near, and touelied the top 
of the sceptre. 

3 Then .said the king unto her, ^Vhat wilt 
thou, queen Esther '? and what is thy request ? 
it shall be c\en gnxen thee ' to the lialf of the 
kingdom. 

4 iVnd Esther answered, If it seem good unto 
the king, let the king aixl Ilaman come thi, 
day ujiLo the banquet that I ha\e prepared ibr 
him. 

5 Then the king said, Cause Haman to make 
ha^te, that lie may do us Esther hath said. So 
the king and Ilaman came to tlie banquet that 
Esther had prepared. 

6 Is And the king said unto Esther at the 
banquet of w i;>c, ^ What is thy petition ? and it 
shall be granied dice : and \\hat /.9 thy i-equest? 
even to the half of the kingdom it shall be per- 
formed. 

7 Then answ ered Esther, and said, My peti- 
tion ind my recjuest is ; 

8 If I have found favour in the sight of the king, 
and if it please the king to grant my petition, 
and t to perform my reqiest, let the king and 
Haman come to *he bauciuet that I shall pie- 
pare for them, and I will do to-monow as the 
king hadi s;ud. 

9 1i 'llien WQwX. Haman forth tha<^ day joyful 
and with a glad heart : «but vhen Hama i siiw 
Mordecai in the ki :g's gate, tint he stood not

unto them from soitow to joy, and from mourn- 
ing into a good day : that they should make them 
days of feasting iind joy, '' and oi sending portions 
one to another, and gifts to the poor. 

23 And the Jews undertook to do as they 
had begun, and as Mordecai hud written unto 
them ; 

24 Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, 
the Agagite, the enemy of ail the Jews, ''had 
de^'ised against the Jews to destroy them, and 
had cast Pur, that is^ the lot, to t consume diem, 
and to destroy them ; 

25 But j- when Esther came before the king, 
he commanded by letters that his \\ icked device, 
which he devised against the JeA\ s, should return 
upon his own head, and that he imcl his sons 
should be hanged on the gallows. 

26 Whereiore they called these days Purim 
after the name of || Pur. Thereiore '^ for all the 
\\ ords of this letter, and of that which they had 
seen concerning this matter, and which had 
come unto them, 

27 The Jews ordained, and took upon them, 
and upon their seed, and upon all such as ^joined 
tliemseives unto them, so as it should not f laii, 
that they \a ould keep these t\^o days according 
to their ^^riling, and according to their appointed 
time every year ; 

28 And ?Afl? these days should be *' remembered 
and kept throughout every generation, everj

tliese days of Piirim should not f fail from

among the Jews, nor the memorial of them 
t perish from their seed. 

29 Then Esther the queen, tlie daughter of 
Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with 
fail authority, to confirm this « second letter of 
Purim. 

30 And he sent the letters unto all the Jev,s, 
^ to the huiubed twenty and seven provinces of 
the kingdom of Ahasuerus, ivith words of peace 
and truth, 

31 'To confirm these days of Purirn in their

and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as 
they had decreed f for themselves and for their

1 The holiness^ riches, and religious care of fob 

for his children. 6 Satan appearing before God, 

by calurnniation obtaineth leave to tempt Job. 

13 Understanding of the loss of his goods and 

children, in his mourning he blesseth God. 

HERE was a man in the land of ^Uz, 
whose name voas ''Job; and that man 
was "= perfect and upright, and one that 
feared God, and eschewed evil. 

2 And there were born unto him seven sons 
and three daughters. 

3 His II substance also was seven thousand 
sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hun- 
dred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, 
and a very great || household ; so that this man 
was the greatest of all the f nien of the east. 

4 And ''his sons went and feasted in their 
houses, every one his day; and sent and called 
for their three sisters to eat and to drink with 
them. 

5 And it was so, Vv'hen the days of their feast- 
ing were gone about, that Job sent and sancti- 
fied them, * and rose up eaily in the morning, 
and offered burnt-offerings according to the num- 
ber of them all : for Job said, It may be that 



my sons have sinned, and ^ cursed God in their ^^^^^ 
hearts. Thus did Job f continually. cir. 1520. 

6 ^ Now there was a day wA\&n the sons of ^-^y'^ 
God came to present themselves before the 21. w??3. 
Lord, and i' Satan carne also t among them. l^the'da 

7 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence t Heb. «j^ 
comest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, '"^^■^'"■y- 
and said, From ^ going to and fro in the earth, IJtf^'midst 
and fi-om walking up and down in it. ""'ipTt's « 

8 And the Lord said unto Satan, f Hast thou \-aL'.h'asi 
considered my servant Job, that there is none like f^Z'/mf^ 
him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, 

one that feareth God, and escheweth evil ? 

9 Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, 
Doth Job fear God for nought? 

10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, 
and about^ his house, and about ail that he hath 

on every side ? ^ thou hast blessed the work of his izs!!'™' 
hands, and his || substance is increased in the land. 11 oi-, «w».

13 For now should I have lain still and been 
quiet, I should have slept : then had I been at 
rest, 

14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, 
wliich ^ built desolate places for themselves; 

15 Or w'wh. princes that had gold, who filled 
their houses with siher : 

16 Or as an hidden 'untimely birth I had noi 
been; as infants which never saw light. 

17 There the wicked ^ cease from troubling; 
and there the f weary be at rest. 

18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear 
not the voice of the ^ oppressor. 

19 The small and great are tliere ; and the 
ser^■ant is firee froni his master. 

20 ^Vhei efore is light given to him '" that is in

3 Behold, thou hast instructed many, ^ and 
thou hast strengthened the Aveak hands. 

4 Thy words have upholden him that waj 
falling, and thou hast sti"engthened -fthe feeble 
knees. 

5 But now it is come upon thee, and thou 
faintest ; it touclieth thee, and thou art troubled. 

6 Is not this thy "^ fear, "^ thy confidence, thy 
hope, and the uprightness of thy v^ays? 

7 Remember, 1 pray thee, who ever perished, 
being iiiiiocent ? or vvhere were the righteous 
cut off? 

8 Even as I have seen, ^ they that plough ini- 
quity, and sow wickedness, reap the same. 

9 By the blast of God they perish, and i| by 
'ihe breath of his no:.triis are they consumed. 

10 The roiiring of the lion, and the voice of 
the fierce lion, and the ^ teeth of the young lions, 
are broken. 

1 1 The old lion ^ perisheth for lack of prey,

9 ^s the cloud is consumed and vanisheth 
away : "^ so he that goeth dow n to the grave shall 
come up no }}iore. 

10 He shall return no more to his house, ^ nei- 
ther shall his place know him any more. 

11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth ; I 
will speak in the anguish of my spirit ; I will 
complain in the ^bitterness of my soul. 

12 Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a 
watch over me ? 

13 When I say, My bed shall s comfort me, 
my couch shall ease my complaint ; 

14 Then thou scai-est me with dreams, and 
terrifiest me through visions : 

15 So that my soul chooseth strangling, -and 
death rather f than my life. 

16 I loath k J- I w^ould not live alway : let me 
alone ; for my days are vanity. 

17 ^ What is man, that thou shouldest mag- 
nify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart 
upon him ? 

18 And t/iat thou shouldest visit him every 
morning, a?id try him every moment ? 

19 How long wilt thou not 'depait from me, 
nor let me alone till I swallow do^vii my spittle ? 

20 I have sinned ; what shall I do unto thee, 

thou ''preserver of men ; why hast thou set 
me as ' a mark against thee, so that I am a bur- 
den to myself ? 

21 And why dost thou not pardon my trans - 
gi'ession, and take away mine iniquity ? for now 
shall I sleep in the dust ; and thou shalt seek me 
in the morning, but I shall not be.

dence of his mercy. 8 God, who is hvuisible, ob- 
serveth oiirivays. lljob's innocency. 13 God's 
decree is immutable. 

THEN Job ans'^^^ered and said, 
2 Even to-day is my connplaint bitter : 
f my stroke is ^heavier than my groaning. 

3 '''Oh that I knew where I might find him! 
that I might come e^en to his seat ! ^^ 

4 I would "" order my cause before him, and fill 21 
my mouth with arguments. 

5 I would know the words xvliich he would 
answer me, and understand what he would say 
unto me. 

6 Will he plead against me '^ witn his great ^^-^'h, 
power ? No ; but he would put strength in me. i*- 

7 There the righteous might dispute with him ; 
so should I be deii\ered for ever from my judge. ■ 

8 ^Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; eci.^.p. 
and backward, but I cannot perceive him : - ' ' 

9 On the left hand, whei-e he doth work, but 
I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the 
right hand, that I cannot see I dm:

10 But he kno\\ eth f the way tliat I take : 
m^hen he hath ^ tried me, I shall come forth 
as gold. 

11 Ivly foot hath held his steps, liis way have 
I kept, and not declined. 

12 Neither ha\e I gone back from the com- 
mandment of his lips ;. f I ii^^'^'e esteemed the 
\^ ords of his mouth more than 1| my neces- 
sai-j" food. 

13 But he is in one mind, and \\\\o can turn 
him? and wjhat ^his soul desireth, e^-en that 
he doeth. 

14 .For he performeth the thinj '' tho.t is ap- 
pointed for me: and many such things are 
with him. 

15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence : 
\\-hen I consider, ' I am afraid of him. 

16 For God maketh ^ my heart soft, and the 
Almighty troubleth me : 

17 Because I Avas not cut off before the dark- 
ness, neither hath he co^ ered the darkness from 
mj* face. 

CHAP. xxiy. 

1 Wickedness goeth often unpunished. 17 There is 
a secret jud'^ment for the wicked. 

WHY, seeing * times are not hidden from 
the Almighty, do they tl:at know him 
not see his days ? 

2 Some remove the ^land-marks; they vio- 
lently take a^A"ay flocks, and || feed thereof 

3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, 
they take ''the widow's ox for a pledge. 

4 They turn the needy out of the "v\ay : the 
poor of the eardi ^ hide themsehes together. 

5 Behold, as v. ild asses in the desert, go they 
forth to their work ; rising betimes for a prey : 
the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for 
their children. 

6 They reap eiiery 07ie his f corn in the field : 
and t they gather the vintage of the wicked. 

7 They cause the ^ naked to lodge without 
clothing, that theij have no coAcring in the cold. 

8 They are w^t \\ ith the showers of the 
mountains, and ^embrace the rock for want of 
a shelter. 

9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, 
and take a pledge of the poor. 

10 They cause him to go naked without 
clothing, and thej' take aAvay the sheaf //-o??? 
the hungry ; 

11 Which make oil witliin their walls, and 
tread their wine-presses, and suffer thirst. 

12 Men groan from out of the city, and the 
soul of tlie \\ ounded crieth out : ^ yet God layeth 
not folly to them. 

13 They are of those that rebel against the 
light ; they know not the ways diereof, nor abide 
in the paths thereof. 

14 Tl-ie murderer rising with the light kill- 
eth the poor and needy, and in the night is 
as a thief 

15 The eye also of the adulterer A\aiteth for 
the *• twilight, saying. No eye shall see me : and 
t disguiseth his face. 

IG In the dark they dig through houses, nxihich

they had marked for them_selves in tliC day-time : 
• diey knoAv not the light. 

17 For the morning is to them e'v-en as .the 
*" shadow of deatvli: \ione know them., they are in 
die terrors of the shadow of death. _ ■ 

18 He is swift as the waters; theii' portiGn: is 
cursed in the earth : he beholdeth not the way 
of die vineyards. ' 

19 Drought and heat f consume' the snow- 
waters : ' so doth the gi-a^e those which have simied. 

20 The \Aomb shall forget him; the worm 
shall feed sweetly on him ; ^- he shall be no more 
remembered; and ^^ickedness shall be broken 
as a tree. 

21 He caH entreateth the barren that bearedi 
not : and doeth not good to the -widow. 

22 He draweth also the niighty with his pow- 
er : he riseth up, j| and no man is sure of life. 

23 Though it be gi\'en him to be in safety-, 
whereon he restedi; "yet liis eyes are upon 
their w^xs. 

24 They are exalted for a litde while, but 
t are gone and brought low ; they are f talcen 
out of the Avay as all other, and cut off as the 
tops of die eai's of com. 

25 And if it be not so norx, "who will make me 
a liai\ and make mv speech nothing v.orth ? 

CHAP. XXV. 
Bildad sheweth that man cannot be justified be- 
fore God. 
THEN answered Biidad the Shuhite, and 
said, 

2 ^Dominion and fear i^r*? with liirn, he maketh 
peace in his high places. 

3 Is diere any number of his aiTaies ? ^ and 
upon whom doth not his light ai'ise ? 

4 ''How then can man be justified ^lith God? 
or how can he be clean that is bom of a \ionian? 

5 Behold e\en to the moon, and it shineth 
not ; yea, the stars are not pure in liis sight. 

6 How much less man, that is ^ a worm; and 
the son of man, which, is a wonn? 

CHAP. XXVI. 
1 Job reproving the uncharitable spirit of Bildad, 
5 acknowledgeth the power of God to be infinite 
and unsearchable. 

BUT Job answered and said, 
2 "" How hast thou helped him that is v.idi- 
out power ? how saACst thou the aim that hath 
no stiength? 

3 ^ How hast thou counselled him that hath no 
wisdopi ? and ho%\j hast thou plentifully declared 
the thing as it is ? 

4 To Mhom hast diou uttered words? and 
A\ hose spirit came from thee ? 

5 Dead things aie formed from under the 
waters, || and the inhabitants thereof. 

6 " Hell is naked before . him, and destruction 
hath no coxering. 

7 He '* stretcheth out the north over the empty 
place, a;/r/hangeth the emth upon nothing. 

8 He ''blndeth up the waters in his thick 
clouds ; and the cloud is not rent imder them. 

9 He holdeth back the face of his dirone, and 
spi-eadeth liis cloud upon it.

ly /TOREOVi^R, ^Job t continued his para-

2 As God ii^eth, ivho hath taken away my

7 Let mine enemy be as the w icked, and he

CHAP. XXVHI. 

1 There is a ktunvLdge of natural things: 12 but 

ivisdom is an excellent gift of Cod. 

SURELY there is || a vein lor the silver, and 
a place for gold where they fine if. 

2 Iron is taken out of tlie li earth, aid brass is 
molten out of the stone. 

3 He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth 
out ail pei-Lction : the stones of diU'kness, and 
•the shadow of death. 

4 I'he flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; 
even the wati rs forgotten of the foot : they arc 
dried up, ""they are gone away licm men. 

5 As for the earth, out of it cometh ' bread : 
and under it is turned up as it w<rre tire. 

6 The stones of it arc the place of sapphires : 
and it hath || du.st of gold. 

7 There is a path a hich no fow 1 knoweth, and 
which the vulture's eye hath not seen : 

8 "* The lion's whelps h;ive not trodden it, nor 
the fierce lion passed by it. 

9 He putteth forth his hand upon the || rock ; 
he o\erturneth the mountains by the loots. 

10 He cutteth out ri\crs among the rocks; 
and his eye seeth every precious thing. 

11 He bir.deth the flotxls f from overflow- 
ing; and the thing tliat is hid bringeth he forth 
to light. 

12 But 'where shall wisdom be found? and 
where is the place of understanding? 

13 Man knoweth not the ^ price thereof; nei- 
ther is it foimd in the land of the living. 

14 8 The depth saith. It is not in me: and 
the sea saith, // is not with me. 

15 t It ''cannot be gotten fi-r gold, reither 
shall silver be v. eighed,/9'r the price tlv reof. 

16 It cannot be valued w ith the gold of Ophir, 
with the precious onyx, or the s::pphn-e. 

17 The gold iind the crystal c. niwt equ-il it : 
and the exchange of it shall not be for || jew els 
of fine gold. 

18 No mention shall be made of || contl, or of 
pearls : for the price of w isdom is abo\ e nibies. 

19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, 
neither shall it be valued with pi re gold. 

20 • Whence then comedi w isdorn ? and where 
is the place of undeistimding? 

21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, 
and kept close fi-om die fow Is ol ihe || air. 

22 Destruction and death say, ^ We ha\ e heard 
the fame thereof v. ith our c^irs. 

23 God understiindeth the way thereof, and 
he knoweth the place thereof, 

24 For he loo'.eth to the erds of the earth, 
' and seeth under the w hole heaver ; 

25 To make the weight ""for the winds; and 
he weigheth the wa ers by meiusure. 

26 " Whc n he made a decree for the rain, and 
a way for the ligh»i ing of the thunder: 

27 Then did he see it, and || dlelare it; he 
prepared it, yea, and searched it out.

CHAP. XXIX. 

Job bemoaneth himself of his former prosperity 

and honour. 

MOREOVER Job t continued his parable, 
and said, 

2 Oh that I were as in months past, as in the 
days when God preserved me ; 

3 When his jl candle shined upon m.y head, and 
ivhen by his light I walked through darkness ; 

4 As I was in the days of my youth, * when 
the secret of God ivas upon my tabernacle ; 

5 Wnen the Almighty \vas yet with me, ivhen 
my children nvere about me ; 

6 \^^hen I v.ashed my steps with butter, and 
the rock poured f nie out risers of oil ; 

7 When I went out to the gate through the city, 
when I prepared my seat in the street ! 

8 The young men saw me, and liid them- 
selves : and the aged arose, and stood up. 

9 The princes refrained talking, and laid their 
hand on their mouth. 

10 t The nobles held their peace, and their 
tongue clea\ed to die roof of dieir mouth. 

1 1 •■ When the ear heaid me, then it blessed 
me ; and when the eje saw 7ne, it gav^e witness 
to me : 

12 Because *= I deli\'ered tlie poor that cried, 
and the fatherless, and him that had none to 
help him. 

13 The blessing of hirn that was ready to 
perish came upon me : and I caused the widow's 
heart to sing for joy. 

14 "^ I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: 
my judgment 'ix:as as a robe and a diadem. 

15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet ivas I to 
the lam.e. 

16 I %vas a father to the poor : and the cause 
vchich I knew not I searched out. 

17 And I brake t the jaws of the wicked, and 
t plucked the spoil out of his teedi. 

18 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I 
shall multiply my days as the sand. 

19 My root -zvas j spread out by the waters, 
and the dew lay all night upon my branch. 

20 My glor>' ivas j fresh in me, and my bow 
was t rene^\"ed in my hand. 

21 Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and 
kept silence at my coimsel. 

22 * After my words they spake not again; and 
my speech dropped upon them. 

23 And they waited for me as for the rain ; 
and they opened their mouth wide ^as for the 
latter rain. 

24 I/^^l laughed on. them, they believed it 
not ; and the light of my countenance they cast 
not down. 

25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and 
dwelt as a king in the army, as one that com- 
Ibrteth the mourners.

by /lis ministry : 31 he inciteth Job to attention. 

WHEREFORE, Job, I pray thee, hear- my 
speeches, *and hearken to all my words. 

2 Behold, no\v I have opened mj' mouth, my 
tongue hath spoken f in my mouth. 

3 My words shall be of the uprightness '' of 
my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge 
clearly. 

4 The " Spirit of God hath made me, and the 
breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

God's stead : I also am t formed out of the clay. 

7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee 
afraid, neither shall my hand be heaA'y upon 
thee. 

8 Surely thou hast spoken f in mine hearing, 
and I have heard the Aoice of thy A\ords, saying, 

9 I am * clean without transgression, I am in-

10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, 
he coiinteth me for '^his enemy.

12 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, 
neither will the Almighty pervert judgment. 

13 \V'ho hath given him a charge over the

14 If he set his heart f upon man, ^ if he gather

22 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death,

23 For he \vill not lay upon man more t/ian

10 And the Lord turned the captivity of 
fob, when he prayed for his fiicnds: also the 
Lord fgave Job t^\•ice as much as he 

K-fore. 

1 1 Then came there unto him all his

been of his acc^uaintance before, and did cat^^^^'J'

12 So the Lord blessed the *^ latter end of«^M.^*- 
Job more than his beginniiig : for he had *" four- hTiuV- '

PSALM I. 

1 The happiness of the godly. 4 The unhappiness 
of the ungodly. 

BLESSED is tlie man * that walketh not 
in the counsel of the || ungodly, nor stand- 
eth in the Avay of sinners, ** nor sitteth in 
the seat of die sconiful. 

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord ; 
^ and in his law doth he meditate day aiid flight. 
_ 3 And he shall be like a tree "^ piunted by_ the 
rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in 
his season ; his leaf also shall not f wither ; and 
whatsoe\er he doeth shall prosper. 

4 The ungodly are not so : but are ' like the 
' chaff Avhich the ^vind di'i'seth away. 

5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in 
the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation 
of the righteous. 

6 For the L o r d ^ kno^^"eth the way of die righ- 
teous : but the wav of the ungodly shall perisli. 

PSALM IL 

1 The kingdom of Christ : 10 kings are exhrted 

to accept it. 

WHY* do the heathen || rage, and the people 
t imagine a vain thing ? 

2 The kings of the eaith set themselves, and 
the rulers take counsel together, against the 
LoRn, and against his anointed, saying, 

3 Let us break their bands asmider, and cast 
away their cords from us. 

4 ''He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: 
the Lord shall have them in derision. 

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, 
and II ^-ex them in his sore displeasure. 

_ 6 Yet ha\-e I f set my king f upon my holy 
hill of Zion. 

7 I will declare || the decree : the Lord hath 
said unto me, *= Thou art my Son ; this day 
have I begotten thee. 

8 "^ Ask of me, and I shall give thee the hea- 
then for thine hiheritance, and the uttermost 
parts of the earth for thy possession. 

9 ^ Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron ; 
thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's 
vessel. 

10 Be wise no^v therefore, ^ O ye kings ; be 
instructed, ye judges of the earth. 

11 ^ Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice 
■\\'ith trembling. 

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angiy, and ye 
perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled 
but a little. ''Blessed arc all they diat put their 
trust in him.

David praiseth God, and compla'meth PSALMS. 

4 e What is man, that thou art mindful of 
him? and the ^son of mrui, that thou visitest 
him ? 

5 For thou hast made him a little lower than 
the 'angeis, and hast crowned him with gIor>- 
and honour. 

6 Thou rnadest him to ^ have dominion over 
tiie ^\-orks of thy hands ; ' thou hast put all things 
under his feet : 

7 t All sheep and oxen, yea, and the beasts 
of the field ; 

8 The fo\\-l of the air, and the "' vAx of the 
sea, and \vhatsoevcr passeth throiigl-i 't..; ruths of 
the seas. 

9 O Lord our Lord, "how excellent w thy 
name in all the earth ! 

PSALM IX. 

1 David praiset/i God for executing of judgment:

^ To the chief Musician upon Muth-labben, 

A Psalm of David. 

I^Will praise thee, O Lord, ^vith my whole 
heart; I will shew forth all ^thy marvel- 
lous works. 

2 I will be glad and ''rejoice in thee :_ I will 
sing praise to th}' name, '^O thou most High. 

3 When mine enemies are turned back, they 
shall fall and perish at thy presence. 

4 For t thou hast maintained my right and 
my cause ; thou sattest in the thi'one judging 
t right. 

5 Then hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast 
destroyed the ^^ icked, thou hast put out their 
name for CAcr and ever. 

6 O II thou enemy, destructions are come to 
a perpetual end : and thou hast destroyed cities ; 
their memorial is perished with them. 

7 But the Lord shall endure for ever: he 
hath prepared his throne for judgment. 

8 And "he shrill judge the woxI^l in righteous- 
ness, he shall minister judgment to the people 
in upris),htness. 

9 ^The Lord also \vill be f i^ refuge for the 
oppressed, a refige in limes of trouble. 

10 And they that ^ know thy name \\iil put 
their trust in thee : for thou, Lord, hast not 
forsaken them that seek thee. 

11 Sing praises to the Lord, v.hich dwelleth 
in Zion : ^declare among the people his doings. 

12 'When he maketh inquisition for blood, 
he remembereth them : he forgetteth not the 
cry of the || humble. 

13 ''Have mercy upon me, O Lord ; consider 
my trouble \'chich I suffer of them that hate me, 
thou that liftest me up frorri the gates of death : 

14 That I may she^\- forth all thy praise in the 
'gates of the daughter of Zion : '"I will rejoice in 
thy salvation.

"""OEJOICE in the Lord, O ye righteous: 
Xv ""for praise is comely for the upright. 

2 Praise the Lord with hcTp : sing unto him 
with the psaltery and an insti-ument of "^ten 
strings. 

3 Sing unto him a ^ ne^" song ; play skilfully 
with a loud noise. 

4 For tlie ^-ord of the Lord is right ; and all 
his works are dene in truth. 

5 He loveth righteousness and judgment : ^the 
earth is full of the li goodness of the Lord. 

6 ^By the word of the Lord vvere the heavens 
made ; and all the host of them by the breath of 
his mouth. 

7 He gathereth the waters of tlie sea ^ together 
as an heap : he la\ eth up the depth in store- 
houses. 

8 Let all the earth fear the Lord : let all the 
inliabitants of the world stand in a^e of him . 

9 For he spake, '^and it was done ; he com- 
manded, and it stood fast. 

10 ' The Lord t brir.geth the counsel of the

sidereth all their works. 

16 There is no king saved by the multitude 



of an host ; a mights^ man is not delivered by 
much strength. 

17 An horse is a ° vain thing for safety : neither 
shall he deliver any by his great sti-ength. 

18 P Behold, the eye of the Lord is upon 
them that fear him, upon them that hope in 
his mercy ; 

19 To deliver their soul from death, "J and to 
keep them alive in famine. 

20 Our soul ''v.aiteth for the Lord : 'he is

9^1 will take no bullock out of thy house, nor

10 For every bcust of the forest is mine, and 
the eattic upon a thousiind iiills. 

11 I know all the fouis of the mouut-tiiiS : 
and tlie wild beasts of the field arc f niine. 

12 If i were iuingry, I v\culd not toil thee : 
' for tlie world is mine, ..nd the iulness thereof. 

13 Will I eat the flesh of bulls, or drink tlie 
blood of goats ? 

14 Otter unto God ^ thanksgiving ; and pay 
thy \ows uFito the most high : 

15 And call upon me in the day of trouble : I 
will deliver th.ee, raid thou ' shalt glorif\' mc. 

16 But unto the wicked God saith. What hast 
thou to do to decUae mj- statutes, or t/iat thou 
shouldest take my covenant in thy mouth ? 

17 •" Seeing thou hatcst instruction, and castest 
my word,^ behind thee. 

• 18 " WlK-n thou saT\-est a thief, then thou ccn-

20 Tiiou sittest ^m/speakest against thy bro-

21 Thest things hast thou done, ° and 1 kept 
s:lc!xc ; thou thi;ughtest that I was altogether such 
an one as thyself: but I v\ill repro\e thee, and 
P set them in order bef(»re thine eyes. 

22 Now consider this, "i ye that forget God, lest 
I tear yon in pieces, and there be none to deli\ er. 

23 \\iioso otteredi praise gloritieth me : and to

took not awaj . 

5 O God, thou knowest my foolishness ; and 
m\ t sins iu-e not hid from thee. 

"C I^et not them that v\;iit on thee, O Lord 
God of hosts, be ashamed lor m>' sake : let not 
those that seek thee be confounded for my siike, 

God of Isiael. 

7 Because for thy sake I have bonie '"reproach ; 
shame hath covered my face. 

8 I am become a stranger »>' unto my brethren, 
iuid an alien unto my molhei's children. 

9 ^ For the zeiJ of thine house hath eaten me 
up ; 'and the iei)roitchcs of them that rcproiiched 
tiiee arc fallen upon me. 

10 When I wept, and chastened my soul with 
fasting, that was to my rejJroiich. 

1 1 I made sackcloth also my garment ; '' and 

1 Ixcame a proverb to tliem. 

12 They that sit in the g tte .speak against me ; 
and I tiv/.y the song of the t druukaixls.

13 But as for me, my prayer is unto thee, O 
Lord, '/« an acceptible time: O God, in the 
multitude of thy mercy hear me, in the truth 
of thy salvation. 

14 Deliver me :a\. of the "mire, and let me 
not sink : let me be deli\ ered from them that 
hate me, and out of the deep waters. 

15 Let not the watcr-Ho<xl overflow me, nei- 
ther let the deei) s\\all(n\- me up, and let not the 
pit "shut her mouth upon me. 

16 Hear me, O Lord ; for thy "loving-kind-

multitude of thy tender mercies. 

17 And iiide not thy face from thy sen'aiit; 
for I am in trouble : f l^trar me si>eedily. 

18 Draw iiigh unto my soul, ajid redeem it : 
deliver me because of mine enemies. 

19 Thou hast known "J my repioach, and my 
slvame, and m}- dishonour : mine adveraaiies are 
all before thee. 

20 Reproach hath broken my heart; and I 
am full of heaA iness : tuul I "■ looked/or some f to 
t;ike pit}-, but t/iere was none ; and for comfort- 
ers, but I found none. 

21 They g:a e me also gall for my meat ; *and 
in my thiist they gave me \inegar to drink. 

22 "Let their table become a snare before 
them : and that which should have been for their 
A\elfiire, /tt it become a trap. 

23 Let their eyes be darkened, that they see 
not ; and make their loins continually to shake. 

24 Pour out thine " indignation upon them, 
and let th}- wratlii'ul anger tiike hold oi'them. 

25 * Let t their habitation be desolate ; and 
fkt none dwell in their tents. 

26 For they persecute him whom thou hast 
smitten ; and they talk to the griei" of t thost 
whom thou hast wounded. 

27 Add 11 iniquity unto their iniquity : and let 
them not come into thy righteousnc ss. 

28 Let them \x: blotted out of the book >■ o! 
the living, and not * be written w ith tlit 
rightecus. 

29 But I am poor and soitow ful : let thy sal- 
vation, O God, set me up on high. 

30 I w ill praise the name of G(id w ith a song, 
and will magnif\ him w ith thanksgiving. 

31 This also shall j)lease the Lokd better 
than "an ox or bullcK'k that hath horns luid

4 For t/ure are no bands in their death : but

5 They are not f in. trouble as other men ; 
neither are they plagued f like ot/icr men. 

6 Therefore piide compasseth them about as

7 Their eyes stand out w ith fatness : t they 
have more than heart could a\ ish. 

8 They "=are corrupt, and speak \\ickedly con- 
cerning oppression : they speak •* loftily. 

9 They set their mouth * against the heavens, 
and their tongue \\ alketh through the emth. 

10 Therefore his people return hither : and 
waters of *^a full cup are wrung out to them.

7 God is greatly to be feared in tlic ^assembly

9 Thou "^ rulest the raging of the sea : when 
the waACS thereof arise, thou stillest them. 

10 Thou hast broken || Rahab in pieces, as 
one that is slain ; thou hast scattered thine ene- 
mies tv.ith thy strong aim. 

11 'The heavens are thine, the earth also is 
thine : as for the world, and the fulness thereof, 
thou hast founded them. 

12 The north and die south thou hast created 
them : ^ Tabor and Hennon shall rejoice in thj-

13 Thou hast fa mightj' arm: strong is thy

15 Blessed is the people that know the "joy-

16 In tiij- name shall they rejoice all the day : 
and in thy righteousness shall they be exalted.

David's complaint and prayer. PSALMS. 

21 With whom Pmy hand shall be established : 
mine ann also shall strengthen him. 

22 The enemy shall not exact upon him ; nor 
the son of wickedness afflict him. 

23 ^ x\nd I will beat doMm his foes before his 
face, and plague them that hate him. 

24 But mj^ faithfulness and my mercy shall 
be with him : and in my name shall " his horn be 
exalted. 

25 I will "^ set his hand also in the sea, and his 
right hand in the rivers. 

26 He shall cry unto me. Thou art my father, 
my God, and the rock of my salvation. 

27 Alsol will make him "^ my first-bom," higher 
than the kings of the earth. 

28 My mercy will I keep for him for ever- 
more, y and my covenimt shall standfast with him. 

29 His seed also will I make to endure for ever,, 
and his throne as the days of heaven. 

30 If his childi'en forsake my law, and walk 
not in my judgments ; 

31 If they t break my statutes, and keep not 
my commandments ; 

32 ^ Then will I visit their transgression with 
the rod, and their iniquity with stripes. 

33 Nevertheless my loving-kindness f will I not 
utterly take from him, nor suffer my faithfulness 
t to fail. 

34 My covenant will I not break, nor alter the 
thing that is gone out of my lips. 

35 Once have I sworn by mj' holiness f that 
I will not lie unto David. 

36 *His seed shall endure for ever, and his 
throne as '' the sun before me. 

37 It shall be established for CAcr as the moon, 
and as a faithful witness in heaven. Selah. 

38 But thou hast cast off and abhorred, thou 
hast been Avroth with thine anointed. 

39 Thou hast made void the covenant of thy 
senant: thou hast profaned his crown by "casting 
it to the ground. 

40 Thou hast '^broken down all his hedges; 
thou hast brought his strong holds to ruin. 

4 1 All that pass by the way spoil him : ^ he is 
a reproach to his neighbours. 

42 Thou hast set up the right hand of his 
adversaries: thou hast made all his enemies to 
rejoice. 

43 Thou hast also turned the edge 
sword, and hast not made him to stand 
battle. 

44 Thou hast made his t glory to cease, and 
cast his ^throne down to the ground. 

45 The days of his youth hast thou shortened : 
thou hast covered him with shame. Selali.

37 s He brought them forth also Avith siher and 
gold ; and there was not one feeble person among 
their tribes. 

38^ Egj-pt was glad when they departed : for 
the fear of them fell upon them. 

39 ' He spread a cloud for a co-vering; and fire 
to gi^e light in the night. 

40 "^ The people asked, and he brought quails, 
and satisfied them -vNith the bread of heaven. 

41 'He opened the rock, and the waters

53 " Hon-or hath taken hold upon me because 
of the wicked that forsake thy la^\". 

54 Thy statutes ha\'e been my songs in the 
house of my pilgrimage. 

55 I have remembered thy name, O Lord, 
in ° the night, and ha\'e kept thy law. 

56 This I had, because I kept thy precepts. 

CHETH. 

57 Thou art p my portion, O Lord : I have 
said that I would keep thy words.

unto thy testimonies. 

60 I made haste, and deiaj'ed not to keep thy 
commandments . 

61 The II bands of the -flicked have robbed 
me : but I ha\'e not forgotten thy law. 

62 ' At midnight I \\\'^ rise to give thanks unto 
thee, because of thy righteous judgm.ents. 

63 I am a companion of aii them that ferj thee, 
and of them that keep thy precepts. 

64 The earth, O Lord, ''is full of thy mercy :

for 1 have belie%'ed thy commandments. 

67 '' Before I was afflicted I \vent astray : but 
now ha^"e 1 kept thy word. 

68 Thou art good, and doest good ; teach me 
thj' statutes. 

69 The proud ha-\e ^ forged a lie against me : 
but I %vill keep thy precepts >vith my >v hole heart. 

70 Their heart is as fat as grease ; but I delight 
in thy law. 

11^ It is good for me that I have been afflicted ; 
that T might learn thy statutes.

THE * proverbs of Solomon the son of Da-

2 To know \\'isdom and instruction ; to 
perceive the \i'ords of understanding ; 

3 To recei\ e the instruction of wisdom, jus- 
tice, and judgment, and t equity ; 

4 To gi\e subtilty to the ^ simple, to the young 
man knowledge and ll discretion. 

5 'A wise man will hear, and \\ill increase 
learning ; and a man of understanding shall attain 
unto wise counsels : 

6 To understand a pro\erb, and |i the interpre- 
tation ; the words of the wise, and their dark 
sayings. 

7 II ^ The fear of the Lord is the || beginning 
of knowledge : but fqpls despise wisdom and in- 
struction. 

8 My son, ' hear the instruction of thy father, 
and forsake not the law of thy mother :

thy head, *^and chains about thy neck. 

10 \ My son, if sinners entice theC, ^ consent 
thou not. 

1 1 If they .sav, Con-.e with us, ''let us lav wait

13 We shall find all precious substance, we 
shall fill our houses with spoil : 

14 Cast in diy lot among us ; let us all have 
one purse : 

15 My son, ^ walk not thou in the way with 
them ; ' refrain thy foot from their path : 

16 '" For their feet run to e\'il, and make haste

17 Surely in vain the net is s^pread f in the

mouth. 

3 Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, 
when thou art come into the hand of thy friend ; 
go, humble thyself, || andmake sure thy friend. 

4 '' Give not sleep to thine eyes, nor slumber 
to thine eye-lids. 

5 Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the 
hunter, and as a bird from the hand of the fowler. 

6 IT *" Go to the ant, thou sluggard ; consider 
her ways, and be wise : 

7 Which having no guide, 6Verseer, or ruler, 

8 Provideth her meat in the summer, and ga- 
thereth her food in the harvest. 

9 ^ How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard ? 
when wilt thou arise out of thy sleep ? 

10 Tet a little sleep, a little slumber, a little 
folding of the hands to sleep : 

11 *" So shall thy poverty come as one thattra- 
velleth, and thy want as an armed man. 

12 ^ A naughty person, a wicked man, walk- 
eth with a froward mouth. 

13 He ^ winketh with his eyes, he speaketh 
"with his feet, he teacheth with his fingers ; 

14 Frowardness is in his heart, he deviseth 
mischief continually ; he f soweth discord. 

15 Therefore shall his calamity come sudden- 
ly; suddenly shall he be broken « without remedy. 



16 H These six thitigs doth the Lord hate : 
yea, seven are an abomination f unto him : 

17 t A proud look, a lying tongue, and hands 
that shed innocent blood, 

18 An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, 
'' feet that be swift in running to mischief, 

19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and him 
that soweth discord among brethren. 

20 11 ' My son, keep thy fatlier's command- 
ment, and forsake not the law of thy mother : 

21 Bind them continually ^ upon thine heart, 
and tie them about thy neck. 

22 ^ When thou goest, it shall lead thee ; " when 
thou sleepest, it shall keep thee ; and xvheti thou 
a\\'akest, it shall talk with thee. 

23 " For the commandment is a li lamp ; and 
the law is light ; and reproofs of instruction are 
the way of life : 

24 ° To keep thee from the evil woman, from 
the flattery || of the tongue of a strange woman. 

25 p Lust not after her beauty in thine heart ; 
neither let her take thee with her eye-lids. 

26 For by means of a whorish woman a man is 
brought to a piece of bread : and t the adulteress 
will "J hunt for the precious life. 

27 Can a man take fire in his bosom, and liis 
clothes not be burned ? 

28 Can one go upon hot coals, and his feet not 
be burned ? 

29 So he that goeth in to his neighbour's wife ; 
'■ whosoever toucheth her shall not be innocent. 

30 Men do not despise a thief, if he steal to sa- 
tisfy his soul when he is hungry ; 

31 But //"he be found, * he shall restore seven- 
fold ; he shall give all the substance of his house. 

32 But whoso committeth adultery with a wo- 
man lacketh t understanding : he that doeth it 
destroy eth his own soul. 

33 A wound and dishonour shall he get ; and 
his reproach shall not be Aviped away. 

34 For jealousy is the rage of a man : therefore 
he will not spare in the day of vengeance. 

2)5 t He will not regard any ransom ; neither 
will he rest content, though thou givest many 
gifts.

Tnc shnplicity of a deluded youth. PRO^ 

7 And beheld among the shnple ones, I dis- 
cerned among t the youths, a \oung man = void 
ot" understanding, 

8 Passing througli the street near her corner ; 
and he w ent the w\\\ to her house, 

9 In the tu iliglit, t in the evening, in the black

10 And, beht>Id, there met him a uoman nvith 
the attire of an harlot, r.nd subtil of heart. 

11 ( *^ SI .e is loud and stubborn, « her feet abide 
not in her house : 

12 Now is she \\ ithout, now in the streets, and 
lieth in wait at cverj- comer.) 

13 So she cauglit him, and kissed him, and 
t A\ith an impudent face said unto him, 

14 t I luroe peace-ofierings \\'ith me ; this day 
ha^'e I payed my \om s. 

15 I'herefore came I forth to meet thee, dili- 
gently to seek thy face, and I have foimd thee. 

16 I have decked my bed with coverings of 
tapestn-, w ith cai'ved ivorks, ^ with fine linen of 
Eg\pt. 

17 I have perfumed my bed with myn"h, aloes, 
and cinnamon. 

18 Come, let us take our fill of love until the 
morning : let us solace ourselves with loves. 

19 For the goodman is not at home, he is gone 
a long journey : 

20 He hath taken a bag of money t "^^ith him, 
and will come home at || the day appointed. 

21 \\'ith her much ' fair speech she caused 
him to yield, \\ ith the flattering of her lips she 
forced him. 

22 He goeth after her f straightA\ ay, as an ox

tion of the stocks ; 

23 Till a dart strike through his liver : •' as a 
bird hasteth to the snai-e, and knowcth not that it

24 ^[ Heai ken imto me now therefore, ' O ye

2 She hath ^ killed f her beasts ; she hath min- 
gled her wine ; she hath also furnished her table : 
3 " vShe hath sent forth her maidens : ^ she crieth 
upon the ^ highest places of the city, 

4 *^ Whoso is simple, let him turn in hither: 
as for him that wanteth understanding, she saith 
to him, 

5 Come, ^ eat of my bread, and drink of tlie 
wine ivhich I have mingled. 

6 Forsake the foolish, and live ; and go in the 
way of understanding. 

7 He that reproveth a scomer getteth to him- 
self shanie : and he that rebuketh a Nvicked man 
getteth himself a blot. 

8 '' Reprove not a scomer, lest he hate thee : 
rebuke a wise man, and he will lo\'e thee. 

9 Give instruction to a wise mail, and he will 
be yet wiser : teach a just man, • and he will in- 
crease in learning. 

10_ ''The fear of the Lord is the beginning 
of wisdom : and the knowledge of the holy is 
understanding. 

11 'For by me thy days shall be multiplied, 
and the years of thy life shallbe increased. 

12 ™ If thou be wise, thou shalt be wdse for 
thyself: but if t\\o\x scornest, thou alone shalt

contrary vices. 
^ 'T^HEi, proverbs of Solomon. ''A wise son 

X maketh a glad father : but a foolish son is 
the heaviness of his mother. 

2 " Treasures of wickedness profit nothing : 
but righteousness delivereth from death. 

3 "^ The Lord will not suffer the soul of the 
righteous to famish : but he casteth away || the 
substance of the wicked.

4 ^ He becoraeth poor that dealeth with a 
slack hand : but the hand of the diligent mak- 
eth rich. 

5 He that gathereth in summer z5 a wise son : 
but he that sleepeth in harvest is a son 'that caus- 
etli shame. 

6 Blessings are upon the head of the just : but 
e violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. 

7 ^ The memory of the just is blessed : but 
the name of the wicked shall rot. 

8 The wise in heart will receive command- 
ments : ' but t a prating fool || shall fall. 

9 •'He that walketh uprightly walketh sure- 
ly : but he that perverteth his ways shall be 
known. 

10 ' He that winketh witli the eye causeth sor- 
row : but a prating fool || shall fall. 

11 *" The mouth of a righteous man is a well 
of life :- but violence covereth the mouth of the 
wicked. 

12 Hatred stirreth up strifes : but " love co- 
vereth all sins. 

13 In the lips of him that hath understanding 
wisdom is found : but a ° rod Z5 for the back of 
him that is void of f understanding. 

14 Wise men lay up knowledge : but the 
mouth of the foolish is near destruction. 

15 ^ The rich man's wealth w his strong city : 
the destruction of the poor is their poverty. 

16 The labour of the righteous tendeth to life : 
the fruit of the wicked to sin. 

17 He is in the way of life that keepeth in- 
struction : but he that refuseth reproof |i erreth. 

18 He that hideth hatred v^ith lying lips, ^and 
he that uttereth a slander, is a fool. 

19 In 'the multitude of words there wanteth 
not sin : * but he that refraineth his lips i.y wise. 

20 The tongue of the just zj as choice silver : 
the heart of the wicked w little worth. 

21 The lips of the righteous feed many : but 
fools die for want f of wisdom. 

22 * The blessing of the Lord, it maketh rich, 
and he addeth no sorrow with it. 

23 " It is as sport to a fool to do mischief : 
but a man of understanding hath wisdom. 

24 The fear of the wicked, "it shitll come 
upon him : ^ but the desire of the righteous shall 
be granted. 

25 As the whirlwind passeth, ^ so is the wicked 
no more: ^but the righteouis is an everlasting 
foundation, 

26 As vinegar to the teeth, and as smoke to 
the eyes, so is the sluggard to them that send 
him. 

27 ''The fear of the Lord f prolongeth 
days : but the years of the wicked shall be 
shortened. 

28 " The hope of the righteous shall be glad- 
ness : but the "^ expectation of the wicked shall 
perish. 

29 The way of the Lord is strength to the 
upright : but destruction shall he to the workers 
of iniquity.

all that were before me in Jerusalem : also my 
Avisdom remained with me. 

10 And -w hatsoever mine eyes desired I kept 
not from them ; I w ithheld not my heart from 
any joj- ; for my heart rejoiced in all my labour : 
^ and this was my portion of all my labour. 

1 1 Then I looked on all the works that my 
hands had wrought, and on the labour that I 

ichap.i..'?, had laboured to do : and behold, ail ivas ' vanity 
"• and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit 

under the sun. 

12 And I turned myself to behold wisdom, 
i7?&^'.2's. ^ and madness, and folly : for what ca?i the man 
luh'ose ^^ ^^^^ Cometh after the king ? || e-ven that which 
'tilings' hath been alreadj' done. 

Tee.f.i!''"' 13 Then I saw f that A^isdom excelleth folly, 
""^/_ as far as light excelleth dai-kness. 
t Heb. 14 ' The Aidse man's eyes are in his head ; but 

ij a'/exce/- tlie fool w^alkctli in darkness : and I myself 
tfsdlm percei\ed also that one event happeneth to diem 

mure than olj 

I'prov.' ■ 15 Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth 
to the fool, so it f happeneth even to me ; and 
why was I then more wise ? Then I said in my 
heart, that this also is vanity. 

16 For there is no remembi'ance of the wise 
jjfi.'^'^' iT^ore than of the fool for ever ; seeing that which 

now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten. 
And how^ dieth the \vise ma?i ? as the fool. 

17 Therefore I hated life ; because the work 
that is wrought under tlie sun is grievous unto 
me : for all is vanity and vexation of spirit. 

18 H Yea, I hated all my labour which I had 
t taken imder the sun : because ™ I should leave 
it unto the man that shall be after me. 

19 And who knoweth whether he shall be a 
wise TJian or a fool ? yoX shall he have rule overall 
my labour wherein I liave laboured, and a\ herein 
I have shewed myself wise under the sun. 
" This is also vanity. 

20 Therefore I went about to cause my heart 
to despair of dl the labour which I took under 
the sun. 

21 For there is a man whose labour is in wis- 
dom, and in knov\ ledge, and in equity ; yet to 
a man that hath not laboured therein shall he 
t leave it/or his portion. This also is \ anity and 
a great evil. 

22 ° For what ht\,th man of all his labour, and 
of the vexation of his heart, wherein he hath 
laboured under the sun. 

23 For all his days are p sorrows, and his tra- 
vail grief; yea, his heart taketh not rest in the 
night. ^ This is also Aanity. 

24 ^ •" There is nothing better for a man than 
fu?'"* t^'^^ ^"^^ should eat and drink, and that he || should 
I'or,' make his soul enjoy good in his labour. This 
^f!'*'''' also I saw, that it %ms from the hand of God. 

25 For who can eat, or who else can hasten 
hereunto, more than I ? 

_ 26 For Goiigiveth to a man that is good f in his 

sight, wisdom, and knowledge, and joy : but to the 

sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, 

yJoy.^ts": that * he may give to_ him that is good before 

God. This ajso is vanity and vexation of spirit.

CHAP. HI. 

1 By the necessary change of times., vanity is ad- 
ded to human travail. 1 1 There is an excellency 
in God's vjork. 16 But as for man, God shall 
judge his works hereafter, and here he shall be 
like a beast. 

TO every thing there is a season, ^ and a time l^^^^;^^_ 
to every purpose under the heaven : 

2 A time f to be bom, ^ and a time to die ; a t >-eb. 
time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which '^.^^;^ 
is planted ; . "• ^~'- 

3 A time to kill, and a time to heal ; a lime 
to break doAvn, and a time to build up ; 

4 A time to weep, and a time to laugii ; a time 
to mourn, and a time to dance ; 

5 A time to cast away stones, and a time to 
gather stones together ; a time to embrace, ''and c joeia.i!,. 
a time f to refrain from embracing ; t Heb.'^' *' 

6 A time to || get, and a time to lose ; a time ''^^f"'' 
to keep, and a time to cast away ; "q^^ j^^^. 

7 A time to rend, and a time to sew ; ^ a time a Amos 
to keep silence, and a time to speak ; 

8 A time to love, ^ and a time to hate ; a time f^^fg^^"''* 
of war, and a time of peace. 

9 nVhat profit hath he that worketh in that '■^''='I'•'•'■ 
wherein he laboured! ? 

10 I have seen the ^ tmvail, which God hath f^jfp 
given to the sons of men to be exercised in it. 

1 1 He hadi made every thing beautiful in his 
time : also he hath set the world in their heart, 
^ so that no man can find out the work that God h?^^?. 
maketh from the beginning to the end. 

12 'I know that t/iere is no good in them, but 'V«'--22- 
for a man to rejoice, and to do good in his life. 

13 "^ And also that every man should eat and l^^^ 
drink, and enjoy the good of all his labour, it is 
tlie gift of God. 

14 I know that whatsoever God dqeth, it shall 
be for txex : nothing can be put to it, nor any 
thiiig taken fi-om it : and God doeth it, that men 
should fear before him. 

15 ' That which hath been is now ; and that 'Chap.1.9.

quireth f that which is past. t Heb.

place of judgment, that wickedness was there ; ^'^^p. 
and the place of righteousness, that iniquity ivas ^■'^^ 
there. _ ^ _ ^^^^^, 

17 I said in mine heart, " God shall judge the 5.10. '' 
righteous and the Avicked : for there is ° a time °^^'"- 
there for eveiy purpose and for every work. 

18 I said in mine heart conc^e}plng the es^^ate 
of the sons of men, || that God might mariifest l?,l't/,ey 
them, and that they might see that they them- c^!,'.^"' 
selves are beasts^ ""• ^''■ 

1 9 P For that which befalleth the sons of men 
befalleth beasts ; even one thing beflJleth them : 
as the one dieth, so dieih the other ; yea, they 
have all one breath ; "^ so that a man hath rio pre 
eminence above a beast :• for all is vanity.

hold, the tears of such as were oppressed, and 
tliey had no comloitcr ; and on the f side of dieir 
oppressors t/icre was power ; but tliey had no 
comforter. 

2 '' Wherefore I praised the dead w hich are 
iJrcady dead more than the living which are yet 
alive. 

3 ^ Yea, better is he than both they, which 
hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil 
uoi k that is done under the siui. 

4 *[[ Again, I considered all t; avail, and t every- 
riglit work, that t for this a m;m is envied of his 
neighbour. This is also vanity and vexation of 
spirit. 

5 '^ The fool foldeth his hands together, and 
eateth his own flesh. 

6 '^ Better is an handful ivith quietness, tlian 
both the hands full with travail and vexation of 
spirit. 

7 'llien I returned, and I saw vanit}' under 
the sun. 

8 There is one alone, and there is not a second; 
yea, he hath neither child nor brother : yet is 
there no end of all his labour, ^ neither is his eye 
satisfied with riches ; neither saith he, ^ For w horn 
do I labour, iuid bereave my soul of good? 
*" This /'.; also vanity, yea, it is a sore travail. 

9 1[ Ta\o are better than one ; because they 
have a good rew ard for their lubour. 

10 For if they fall, the one will lift up his fel- 
low : but woe to him that is alone when he fiUl- 
tth ; for he hath not another to help him up. 

11 Again, if two lie together, then they have 
heat : buc how can one be warm alone ^ 

12 And if one prevail agJiinst him, two shall 
withstand him ; and a threefold cord is net quick- 
ly broken. 

13 t Be tter is a poor and a wise child tlian an 
old and foolish king, who will no more be ad- 
monished. 

14 For ' o^t of prison he cometh to reign; 
whereas also nt 
cometh poor. 

15 I considered all the living which walk under 
the sun, with tlie second cliild that shall stand up 
in his .steacL 

16 There is no end of iill the people, c^jen of 
all that have been before thern : tluy also that

KEEP thy foot when diou goest to the house

3 For a dream cometh tlirough the multitude 
of business ; "^ and a fool's voice is known by mul- 
titude of words. 

4 ^ When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer 
not to pay it ; for he hath no pleasure in fools : 
" pay tliat which thou hast vowed. 

5 ' Better is it that tliou shouldest not vow, 
than that thou shouldest vow and not pay. 

6 Suffer not thy mouth to cause th>- flesh to sin; 
neitl^er s;iy tliou before ^ the angel, that it was an

7 For in the multitude of cbxams and many

and violent peneiting of judgment and justice

he that is higher than the highest ^ regai'deth ; 
iuid there be higher than they. 

9 Tl Moreover, the profit of the earth is for all: 
die king himself is ;>ei-vcd by the fieid. 

10 He that icvetii silver sliall not be satisfied 
with silver ; ' nor he that loveth abundance with

11 \\ hen goods increase, they arc increased 
! that eat them : "' and Avhat good is tlicre to the 

owners thereof, saving tlie beholding of than

12 The^isleep of a labouring man is swe^t, 
whether he eat little or much : but tlie abundance 
of the rich will not sufter him to sleep. 

13 There is a sore evil which I ha\'e seen un-

thereof to " their hurt. 

14 But those riches perish by evil travail : and 
he begetteth a son, and there is nothing in his 
hand. 

15 ° As he came forth of his mother's womb, 
naked shall he return to go iis he came, and shali 
take nothing of his labour, which he may carry 
away in his hand. 

16 And thisalso P/.?asore evil, tJiat in all points 
as he came, so shall he go : 'aiid what profit luith 
he that liath laboured tor th.e wind "?

The 'oanity of riches.

CHAP. VI. 
1 The iion'ity of riches %vithoiit use, 3 of children, 

6 and old age without riches. 9 The "oanitij of 

sight and zvandering desires. 11 The conclusion 

ofxanities. 

THERE is * an evil which I have seen under 
the sun, and it is common among men : 

2 A man to whom God hath given riches, 
wealth, and honour, *" so that he ■s\'anteth nothing 
for his soul of ail that he desireth, "^ytt God giveth 
him not power to eat thereof, but a sti'anger eat- 
eth it : this is vanity, and it is an evil disease. 

3 IF If a man beget an hundred children, and 
live many years, so that the days- of his yeai-s be 
m.any, and his soul be not filled" Avitli good, ''and 
also that he have no buTial ; I say, ^ that an un- 
timely birth is better than he. 

4 Eor he cometh in with vanitj', and depaitetii 
in dai'kness, and his name shall be covered Avith 
darkness. 

5 Moreover, he hath not seen the sun, nor 
knoAvn any thing: this hath more rest than the 
other. 

6 T[ Yea, though he live a thousand years 
tAvice told, yet hath he seen no good : do not all 
go to one place '? 

7 All the labour of man is for his mouth, and 
yet the f appetite is not filled. 

8 For what hath the wise more than the fool '? 
what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before 
the living ? 

9 ^ Better is the sight of the eyes f than the 
AA'andering of the desire : this is also A-anity and 
vexation of spirit. 

'10 That which hatli been is name"d already, 
and it is knoAAii that it is man : ^neither may he 
contend with him that is mightier than he. 

1 1 T[ Seeing there be many things that increase 
vanitj% what is man the better ? 

12 For who knoweth what is good for man in 
this life, t all the days of his vain life which he 
spendeth as s a shadow '? for who can tell a man 
AA'hat shall be after him under the sun ? 

CHAP. Vll. 
1 Remedies against inanity, are a good name, 

2 niortifi cation, 1 patieiice, \\ wisdom.' '2'^ The 
difficulty of getting wisdom. 

A* Good name is better than precious oint- 
ment ; and the day of death than the day of 
one's birth. 

2^^ It is better to go to the house of mourn- 
ing, than to go to the house of feasting : for that 
is the end of all men ; and the living will lay it to 
his heart. 

3 II Sorrow is better than laughter : for l^y the 
sadness of the countenance the heait is made 
better. 

4 "^ The heart of the wise is in the house of 
mourning ; but the heart of fools is in the house 
of mirth. 

5 •* It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, 
than for a man to hear the song of fools. 



Remedies against vanity. 

6 For as the i crackling of thorns under a 
pot, so is the laughter of the fool : this also is 
vanitj'. 

7 \ Surely, oppression maketh a w'l 
mad ; ^ and a gift destroyeth the heart. 

8 ^ Better is the end of a thing than the begin- 
ning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better 
than the proud in spirit. 

9 5 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry : for 
anger resteth in the bosom of fools. 

10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the 
former days were better than these? for thou 
dost not enquire t wisely concerning this. 

11^ Wisdom is \\ good with an inheritance : 
and by it there is profit to them that see the

J9 Lo, this only have I found, "^ that God

CHAP. VIII. 

1 Kings are greatlu to he reshectcd. 6 The divi?ie 
prj-jii/ence is to be observed. \2 It is better ivith 
the godly in adversity^ than with the ii-icked in 
prosperity. IG The work of God is unsearchable. 

WHO is as the wise man ? luid who knoweth 
tiie interpretation of a thing '? "^ a man's 
\\isdom inaketh his faee to shine, and f the bold- 
ness of his face shall be changed. 

2 I counsel thte to keep the king's command- 
ment, ''and t/)at in regard of the oath of God. 

3 Be not ^ hasty to go out of his sight : stiuid 
not in an evil thing ; for he doeth w hcttsoever 
plcaseth him. 

4 Where the word of a king is, there is power: 
iind w ho may saj" unto him, \\ hat doLSt thou '? 

5 Whoso kcepcth the commandment f shall 
feel no evil thing : and a a\ ise man's heart dis- 
eerncth l^oth time and judginent. 

6 1| ''Because to every purpose there is time 
and judgment, therefore the misery of man is 
gieat upon him. 

7 For he knoweth not that which shall be : 
for who can tell him || \\ hen it shall be "? 

8 There is no man that hath power ' over the 
spirit to retain tlie spirit ; neither hath he power 
in the dny of death ; and there is no || discharge 
in that w.ir ; neither shall wickedness deliver 

Hebr. 9.27. tliosc that are given to it. 

9 All this have I seen, and applied my heart 
unto every w ork thi.t is done under die sun : 
there is a time therein one mmi ruleth o\er 
another to his own hurt. 

10 And so I saw tlie mcked buried, * who had 
come and gone from the place of the holy, and 
they A\ ere forgotten in the city w here they had 
so done : this is also vanity. 

11 8 Because sentence against itn evil work is 
not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the 
sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. 

12 TF Though a sinner do evil an hundred 
times, arid his days he prolonged, yet surely I 
know diat ''it shall be well wiUi thein diat iear 
God, which fciir before him : 

13 But it shall not be well wiih the wicked, 
neithci shall he proloiig his di:ys, which are as a 
shadow; because he feareth not Ixfore (icKl. 

14 There is a \anity which is done upon the 
earth ; that there bejust men, imto w hoin it 'luip- 




Like things happen to good and bad. 
upon the earth: (for also tliere is 'M^?/ neither 
day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes:) 

17 'J'hen I beheld all the work of God, "' tliat 
a man cannot Iind out the ^\■ork that is don*, 
luider the sun : because though a maia labour to ^^"''j',- 
seek it out, yet he shall not find it: >'ea farther ; *''■ "

13 11 This wisdom have I seen also under the 
sun, and it seemed great unto me : 

14 ^Th.ere was a little city, and few men with- 
in it; and there came a great king against it, 
and besieged it, ai.d buiit great bulwarks a- 
gciiust it : 

15 Now there was found in it a poor wise man, 
and he by his wi? com delivered the cit>" ; yet no 
man remembered that same poor man. 

16 " Then said I, Wisdom is better than 
strength : ° nevertheless, the poor man's wisdom 
is despised, and his Mords are not heard. 

17 The ^^•ords of wise men are heard in quiet 
more than the cry of him that ruleth among 
fools. 

18 p Wisdom is better than weapons of war : 
but 1 one sinner destroveth much good.

\ 't'XEAD flies cause the ointmentof the apo- 

JL^ thecary to send forth a stinking savour : 
* so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for 
wisdom and honour, 

2 A wise mail's heait is ''at his right hand; 'but 
a fool's heart is at his left. 

3 Yea aljvo, ^\-hen he that is a fool walketh by 
the way, \ his wisdom failcth him., ** and he saith 
to every one that he is a fool. 

4 If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, 
leave not thy place ; for yielding pacifieth great 
offences. 

5 There is an evil wJi'ich I have seen under 
the sun, as an error xvihich proceedeth f fi"om the 
ruler : 

6 Folly is set f in great dignity, and the rich 
sit in low place. 

7 I have seen ser^^ants ^upon horses, and prin- 
ces walking as servants upon the earth. 

8 ^ He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it ; and 
whoso breaketh an hedge, ^ a serpent shall bite 
him. 

9 Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt there- 
with ; and he that cleaveth a\ ood shall be endan- 
gered thereby. 

10 If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the 
edge, then must he put to more strength : but 
wisdom is profitable to direct. 

1 1 Surely the "^ serpent will bite w ithout en- 
chantment ; and a f babbler is no better. 

12 ' The words of a wise man's mouth are 
t gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up 
himself. 

13 The beginning of the wwds of his mouth 
is foolishness : and the end of f his talk is mis- 
chievous madness. 

14 *A fool also t is full of words : a man can- 
not tell what shall be ; and ' what shall be after 
him, who can tell him?

sick of love. 9 A description of Christ by his 
graces. 

AM come into my garden, my sister, my 

spouse : I have g-athered my m\ rrh with my 

spicc ; '' 1 have eaten my honeycomb w ith my 

honey ; I lia^e drunk my wine w ith my milk : 

eat, ■= O friends ; drink, yea, |1 diink abundantly, 

beloved. 

2 If I sleep, but my heart wiiketh : it is ^ the 
voice of my beloved that * knocketh, saying, 
Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my 
undefiled : for my head is filled with dew, and 
my locks with the diops of the night, 

3 I have put off my coat ; how shall I put it 
on ■? I lia\'e washed my feet ; how shall I defile 
them '^ 

4 My belored put in his hand by the hole o/' 
the door, and my bowels Mere moved || for him. 

5 1 rose up to open to my belo\ ed ; and my 
hands dropped -ivith myrrh, and my fingers wit'h 
t sveet-smelling ' myrrh, upon tlie handles of 
the lock. 

G I opened to my beloved ; but my belo\ed 
h.ad withdrawn himself, aJid was gone : my soul 
failed A\hen he spake : I sought him, "^ but 1 
could not find him ; I called him, but he gave me 
no answer.

found me, they smote me, they wounded me; the 
keepers of the walls took aw ay my \eil from me. 

8 I charge j-ou, ' O daughtei-s of Jerusalem, if 
ye find my belo\ed, t that ye tell him, that / 
am sick of love. 

9 U What is thy beloved more than another 
beloved, '' O thou fairest among w omen "? what 
is thy belo\'ed more than another beloved, that 
thou dost so chaige us "? 

10 My beloved is white and ruddj, f the 
chieR St among ten thousand. 

11 His head is as the most fine gold, his locks 
are || bushy, and black as a raven. 

12 ' His eyes are as the eyes of do\es by 
tlie rivers of waters, washed \vith milk, and 
t fitly set. 

13 His clieeks are as a bed of spices, as || sweet 
flowers : his lips ///^d^ lilies, dropping sweet-smell- 
ing mynh. 

14 His hands are as gold rings set with the 
Ixri 1 : his belly is as bright i\oiy overlaid with 
sai'phires. 

15 His legs are as pillars of miuble, set upon 
sockets of fine gold : his countenance is as "' Le-

jealousy is f cruel ^ the grave : the coals there-

LOT, and 



Jn exhortation to repentance. ISA! 

12 When yc come f ''> appc;ir l)cfore me, 
wli.o liath rtquirc-d this :it your liand, to tread 
my courts ? 

1 3 Bring no more p ^'ain oblations ; incense is 
an abomination imto me ; the new moons and 
sabbaths, the calling of assemblies, I cannot 
away Avith ; it is || iniquity, even the solemn 
meeting. 

14 •> Your "ncM- moons and your appointed 
feasts my soul hateth : they aic a trouble unto 
me ; M am weai y to bear t/u'7?i. 

15 And ' when ye spread forth your hands, I 
A\ ill hide mine eyes from \ou : yea, A\hen ye 
t make man\- prayers, I w ill not hear : your 
lumds are full of " i blood. 

16 II Wash you, make you clean; put a^-ay 
the c\\\ of 5'our doings from before mine eyes ; 
""* cease to do t\\\ ; 

17 Lciim to do well ; seek judgrnent, || relieve 
the oppressed, judge the iatherlcss, plead for the 
Midow. 

18 Come now, *■ and let us reason together, 
saitli the Lord : though your sins be as scJirlet, 
they sliall Ix- as * v, hite as snow ; though they be 
red like crimson, they shall he as wool. 

- 19 If ye be w illing and obedient, ye shall eat 
the good of the land : 

20 But if ye refuse and relxl, yc shall be de- 
voured w ith the sw ord : ^ for the mouth of the 
Lord harh .spoken it. 

21 % How is the faithful city become an harlot ! 
I" it was full of judgment: righteousness lodged 
in it; but now murderci"s. 

22 Thy silver is become •= dross, thy wine 
mixed with Avaler : 

23 Th>' princes arc rebellious, and companions 
of thieves : every one loveth gifts, and follow- 
eth afkr rewards : they ** judge not the father- 
less, neither doth Uie ciaise ol" the widow come 
imto them. 

24 Therefore, saith the Lord, the Lord of 
hosts, the mighty One of Israel, Ah, I will '= ease 
me of mine adversiiries, and a\ enge me of mine 
enemies. 

25 "[[ And I will turn my hand upon thee, and 
t purely purge away thy dross, and tiike aw ay 
all thy tin : 

26 And I will restore thy judges *^as at the 
first, and thy counsellors as at the beginning: 
afterward th(ni shalt be called. The citj- of righ- 
teousness. The faithful citj-. 

27 Zion shiiU be redeemed widi judgment, 
and II her converts w ith righteousness. 

28 If AtkI the « f destruction of the transgres- 
sors and of the sinners shall be together, and 
they that forsake the Lord shall be con- 
sumed. 

29 For they shall be ashamed of the oaks 
M hich ye ha\e desired, and ye shall be con- 
founded for the ''gardens diat ye have chosen. 

30 For ye shall be as an oak whose leaf fadeth, 
and as a garden that liath no water. 

3 1 And the strong shall be as to\v, |{ and the 
maker of it as a si)ark, and thej- shall botli buin 
togetlicr, and none .sliall quench them.

IN the year that king * Uzziah died, I ^ saw also 
the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and 
lifted up, and [| his train filled tlie temple. 

2 Above it stood the seraphims : '= each one 
had six wings ; ^ with t^ain he_ covered his face, 
and ^\"ith tivain he covered his feet, and ^\'ith 
t^vain he did fly. 

3 And t one cried unto another^ and said, 
^ Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts : t the 
whole earth is full of liis glory, 

4 And the posts of the f door moved at the 
voice of him that cried, and the house was filled 
witli smoke. 

5 IF Then said I, Woe is me ! for I am f un- 
done ; because I am a.man of unclean lips, and 
I d^\ell in the midst of a people of unclean lips : 
for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of 
hosts. 

6 Then flew one of the serapliims unto me, 
t having a live coal in his hand, -which he had 
taken A\ith the tongs from off the altar: 

7 And he i" ^ laid it upon my mouth, and said, 
Lo, this hath touched thy lips ; and thine ini- 
quity is taken a\vay, and thy sin pm-ged. 

8 Also I healed the voice of the Lord, saying, 
Whom shall I send, and who will go for ^us? 
Then said I, t Here a77i I ; send me. 

9 •[[ And he said, Go, and tell this people, 
^ t Hear ye || indeed, but understand not ; and 
see ye indeed, but perceive not. 

10 Make the heart of this people fat, and 
make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes ; lest 
they see with their eyes, and hear widi their 
eai's, and understand w'lXh. their heart, and con- 
vert, and be healed. 

11 Then said I, Lord, how long? and he 
ans\\"ered, Until tiie cities be wasted without in- 
habitant, and the houses widiout man, and the 
land be f utterly desolate, 

12 And the Lord have removed men far 
aAvay, and there be a gi^eat forsaking in the midst 
of the land. 

13 If But yet in it shall be a tenth, || and it shall 
return, and shall be eaten : as a teil tree, and as 
an oak, whose |! substanc^i-inthem, when they 
cast their leaves : ' so the holy seed shall be the 
substance thereof.

8 The mirth s of tabrets ceaseth, the noise of

ceaseth. 

9 They shall not drink wine -with a song; 
strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it. 

10 ^ The city of confusion is broken do\yn : 
every house is shut up, that no man may come in. 

1 1 There is a ciyir.g for wine in the streets ; all

13 But the word of the Lord was unto them | 
^ precept upon precept, precept upon precept ; j 
line upon line, line upon line ; here a little, and \ 
there a little ; * that tliey might go, and fail back- 
ward, and be broken, and snared, and taken. 

14 T[ Wherefore hear the word of the Lord, 
ye scornful m.en, that rule this people which is 
in Jerusalem. 

15 Because ye have said, We have made a 
covenant with death, and with hell are we at 
agreement ; when the overflowing scourge shall 
pass through, it shall not come unto us : "" for v, e 
have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood 
have we hid ourselves, 

16 T[ Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Be- 
hold, I lay in Zion for a foundation " a stone, a 
tried stone, a precious comer stone, a sure founda- 
tion ; he that believeth shall not make haste. 

^ 17 Judgment also will I lay to the line, and 
righteousness to the plummet: and the hail shall

sweep away 'the refuge of lies, and the waters 
shall overflow the hiding place. 

18 If And your covenant w ith death shall be 
disannulled, and 3-oiu' agreement with hell shall 
not stand; when the ovtrflowing scourge shtJI 
pass tlii-ough, then ye shall be ? f trodden down 
by it. 

19 From the time that it goeth forth it shall 
take you : for morning by morning shall it pass 
over, by day and by night: and it shall be a 
vexation only || to understand the report. 

20 For the bed is shorter than that a man can 
stretch himself o« it: and tl-ie covering narrower 
than that he can wrap himself in it. 

21 For the Lord shall rise up as m m.ount 
'^Perazim, he shall be wroth as in the valley 
of '"Gibeon, that he may do his work, his 
* strange work; and bring to pass iiis act, his 
strange act. 

22 Now therefore be ye not mockers, lest 
your bands be made stiong: for i have heard 
from the Lord God of hosts a ''consumption, 
even determined upon the \^■hole earth. 

23 ^ Give ye ear, and hear my \o\ee ; heark- 
en, and hear my speech. 

24 Doth the ploughman plough all day to 
so^'c ? doth he open and break the clods of his 
ground ? 

25 When he hath m.r.de plain the face thereof^ 
dotli he not cast abroad the fitches, and scatter 
the cummin, and cast in jj tlie principal Avheat 
and the appomted barley, and tlie || rj-e in their 
t place ? 

26 II For his God doth instruct him to discre- 
tion, a7id doth teach him. 

27 For tlie fitches aie not threshed with a 
threshing-instrument, neither is a cait-'wheel 
turned about upon i:he cummin ; but the fitches 
are beaten out ■v\-ith a staft", and the cummin 
with a rod. 

28 Bread corn is bruised; because he will 
not e-\'er be tlireshing it, nor break it ivith 
the wheel of his cait, nor bruise it vjith his 
horsem.en. 

29 This also cometli forth from the Lord of 
hosts, * which is wonderful in counsel, and ex- 
cellent in %\'orking.

9 Tl Stay yourselves, and wonder ; || cry ye out,

they stagger, but not \\ ith strong drink. 

10 For the Lord hath poured out upon you 
the spirit of deep sleep, and hath closed your 
eyes : the prophets and your f rulers, the ' seers 
hath he cov ered. 

1 1 And the vision of all is become unto you 
iis the words of a || book that is *" sealed, which

12 And the book is delivered to him that is

this people draw near fne with their mouth, and 
with their lips do honour me, but hav e removed

is taught by ^ the precept of men : 

14 Therefore behold, f I will proceed to do 
a marvellous work among this people, even a 
marvellous work and a wonder: ''for the wis-

■ 15 ""Woe unto them that seek deep to hide

16 Surely your turning of things upside

VV Lord, ""that take counsel, but not of 

me ; and that cover with a co\ ering, but not of

2 That wiilk to go down into Eg\i)t, and iiave

selves in the strength of Phm-aoh, and to trust in 
the shadow of Eg\pt ! 

3 Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh be 
*your shame, and the trust in die shadow of 
Lgj'pt your confusion. 

4 For his princes were at 'Zoan, and his am- 
bassadors came to Hanes.

could not profit them, nor be an \\l\\:> nor profit,^

upon die bunches of camels, to a people that 
shall not jirofit them. 

7 For the Egyptiiuis shall help in vain, unci to 
no purpose : therefore have I cried i| eor.cerning 
this, '' Their strength is to sit still.

God^s mercies towards his cluirch, 

13 Therefore this iniquity shall be to you as 
° a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high 
wall, M'hose breaking comcth p suddenly at an 
instant. 

14 And he shall bi^eak it as the breaking of 
t the potters' vessel that is broken in pieces ; 
he sh^dl not spare : so that there shall not be 
found in the bursting of it a sherd to take fire 
from the hearth, or to tiike water 'withal out of 
the pit. ; 

15 For thus saith the Lord God, the Holy 
One of Israel ; 1 1n returning and rest shall j'e be 
saved ; in quietness and in confidence shall be 
your strength: ""and ye would not. 

16 But ye said. No ; for we will flee upon 
horses; therefore shall ye flee: and, We will 
ride upon the swift: therefore shall they that 
pursue you be swift. 

17 ' One thousand shall flee at the rebuke of 
one ; at the rebuke of five shall ye flee : till ye 
be left as I a beacon upon the top of a moun- 
tain, and as an ensign on im hill. 

18 H And therefore will the Lord wait, that 
he may be gracious unto you, and therefore will 
he be exalted, that he may ha\'e mercy upon 
you-f for the Lord is " a God of judgment : 
*" blessed are all they that wait for him. . 

19 For the people shall dwell in "^ Zion at Je- 
rusalem : thou shalt weep no more : he will be 
very gracious unto thee at the voice of thy ciy : 
when he shall hear it, he w- ill answer thee, 

20 x\nd though the Lord give you the * bread 
of adversitj^, and the w^ater of || affliction, '' yet 
shall not thy teachers be removed into a corner 
any more, but thine eyes shall see thy teachei"s : 

21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind 
thee, saying. This is the way, walk ye in it, 
when " ye turn to the right hand, and when ye 
turn to the left. 

22 Ye shall defile also the covering of f thy 
graven images of silver, and the ornament of thy 
molten images of gold : thou shalt f cast them 
away as a menstruous cloth ; thou shalt say unto 
it, ^ Get thee hence. 

23 Then shall he gi^'e the rain of thy seed, 
that thou shalt sow the ground withal ; and bread 
of the increase of the earth, and it shall be fat 
and plenteous : in that day shall thy cattle feed 
in large pastures. 

24 The oxen likewise, and the young asses 
that ear the ground, shall eat || f clean provender, 
which hath been winnowed with the shovel and 
with the fan. 

25 And there shall be upon every high moun- 
tain, and upon every f high hill, rivers and 
streams of waters in the day of the great slaugh- 
ter, when tl)e.towers fall. 

26 Moreo^r, ^ the light of the moon shall be 
as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun 
shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in 
the day that the Lord bindeth up the breach 
of his people, and healeth the stroke of their 
wound.

CHAP. XXXVI. 
1 Sennacherib invade th Jiidah. 4 Rabshakeh sent 
by Sennacherib, by blasphemous persuasions so- 
liciteth the people to revolt: 22 liis words are 
told to Hezekiah. 

NOW *it came to pass in tlie fourteenth 
year of king Hezekiah, that Sennacherib 
king of Assyria came up against all the defenced 
cities of Judah, and took them. 

2 ^ And the king of Assyria sent Rabshakeh 
from Lachish to Jerusalem imto king Heze- 
kiah with a great aimy. And he stood by the 
coflduit of the upper pool in tlie higlw-ay ol' the 
fullers' field. 

3 ' Then came forth unto him Eliakim, Hil- 
kiah's son, which was over the house, and Shebna 
the II scr.b.', and J oah, Asaph's son, the recorder. 

4 1[ And Rabshakeh said unto them. Say ye 
no^^" to Hezekiah, Thus saith the great king, the 
king of Assjria, "^ What confidence f,y this where- 
in thou trustest '? 

5 I say, Siiyest thou, (hut they are but f vain 
Mords) II I have coun.sel iind strength for ^\'ar : 
now Oil whom clobt thou trust, that thou rebel- 
lest against me '? 

6 Lo, thou tnutest in the 'staff of this broken 
reed, on Egypt; whereon if a man lean, it will 
go into his hand, and pierce it; so /,? Pharaoh 
king of Egypt to all that trust in him. 

7 But if thou say to me; We trust in the 
Lord our God: ^is it not he, whose high places 
and uhose alUu's Hezekiah hath taken awaj-, 
and said to Judali and to Jerusalem, Ye shall 
\\ orship before this rJtar? 

8 Now thi refore give || pledges, I pray thee, 
to my master the king of As.syria, and I will 
give thee two thousand horses, ^ if thou be able 
on thy piut to set riders upon them. 

9 How then Avilt thou turn away the face of 
one captain of the least of my ma'^tel•'s servants, 
:ind put tliy trust on Eg> pt for chaiiots and for 
horsemen '? 

10 ''And am I now come up without the 
Lord against tliis land to destroy if? Ihe Lord 
said unto me, Go up against this land, and 
destroy it. * 

11 Then said Eliakim and Shebna and 
JoiUi unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, unto 
thy servants in the Syrian hmguage; ior we 
understand it: tuid speak net to us in the Jews' 
language, in the ears of the people that are on 
the wall. 

12 % But Rabshakeh said, * Hath my master

" Rabshakeh'* s blasphemy. 
sent me to thy master and to thee to sjDeak these 
w ords '? hath he not sent me to the men that sit 
upon the wall, that they may eat their own 
dung, and drink their ow n piss with you "? 

13 Then Rabshakeh stood, '' and' cried with 
a loud voice in the Jews' langu;ige, and said. 
Hear ye the w-ords oi the great king, the king 
of Assyria. 

14 Thus saith the king, 'Let not H-^zekiiih izoiron. 
deceive you : for he shall not be able to de- ^^" "" 
liver you. 

15 Neither let Hezekiah make you trust in 
the Lord, saying. The Lord will surely deli- 
ver us : this city shall not be delivered into the 
hand ol the king of Assyria. 

16 Heiirken not to Hezekiah: for thus saith 
the king of Assyria, || f Make an agreement with lor, 
me by a present, and come out to me: and catj^^*'^^ 
ye every one of his vine, ™ and eveiy one of his p^""'- 
fig-tree, and drink ye every one the waters of J^fa»^1„,•/ 
his owTi cistern ; ^'^f *^" 

17 Until I come and take you away to a land mjxch 
like your own land, " a land of com and wine, a " " 
land of bread and vineyards. 

18 Beware lest Hezekiah persuade you, say- 
ing. The Lord will deliver us. Hath any of 
the gods of the nations delivered his land out of 
the hand of the king of Assyria? 

19 ° Where are the gods of Hamath and Ar- oaee 
pad? where are the gods of Sephai-vaim? and ?7'^Sir«s- 
have they delivered Samaria out of my hand? ''■^'*' 

20 Who are they among iill the gods of these 
lands, that ha\'e deli\ ered tlieir huid out of my 
hand, •'that the Lord should deliver Jeruhalerap see oati 
out of my hand ? ^i ^' "' 

21 "J But they held their peace* and answered qAmo-; 
him not a word: for the king's commaiidmei|t6.l9:*^ 
was, saving. Answer him not. \4^ 

22 1[ Then came Eliiikim, the son ot Hilki-ih, 
that was o\'er the household, and Shebiijih the 
scribe, andJoah the son of Asapji, the recorder, 
to Hezekiah with their clothes rent,, and told 
him the words of Rabshakeh.

4 * It maj'^ be the Lord thy God will hear the 
words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria 
his master hath sent to reproach the living God, 
and M'iil reprove the words which the Lord thy 
God hath heard : wherefore lift up thy prayer 
for the remnant that is f left. 

5 So the servants of king Hezekiali came to 
Isaiah. 

6 11 And Isaiali said unto them, Thus shall ye 
say unto your master, Thus saith the Lord, Be 
not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, 
wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria 
*'haA'e blasphemed me. 

7 Behold, I will !| send a blast upon him, and 
j!;!/ « spirit ^^^ ^^'^'^^^ ^lear a rumour, and return to his own 

' "■ • '" land ; ^^and I Mill cause him to fall by the sword 
in his own land. 

8 H So Rabshakeh returned, and found the 
king of As.syria warring against Libnali : for 
he had heard that he %\as departed from La- 
chish. 

9 ''And he heard say concerning Tirhakah 
king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war 
with thee. And when he heard it, he sent mes- 
sengers to Hezekiah, saying, 

10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of 
Judah, saying, I^et not thy God, in whom thou 
trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall 
not be given into the hand of the king of As- 
syria. 

11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings 
of Assyria hax^ done to all lands by destroy- 
ing them utterly ; and shalt thou be deliver- 
ed? 

12 Have 'the gods of the nations delivered 
them which my fatliers ha^'e destroyed, as Go- 
zan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children 
of Eden which were in Telassar ? 

13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king 
of Arpad, and the king of the city of Sephar- 
vaim, Henali, and Ivah? 

14 T[ And Hezekiah received the letter from 
the hand of the messengers, and read it : ^ and 
Hezekiah went up unto the house of the Lord, 
and spread it before the Lord. 

15 And Hezekiah prayed unto the Lord, 
saying, 

16 O Lord of hosts, God of Israel, * that 
dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the 
God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms 

m Gen, 1.1. of the earth: ™ thou hast made heaven and 
earth. 

17 Incline thine ear, O Lord, and hear; open 
thine eyes, O Lord, and see : and hear all the 
words of Sennacherib, " which hath sent to re- 
proach the living God. 

18 Of a truth. Lord, the kings of Assyria 
have laid waste all the f nations, and their' coun- 
tries, ^ 

19 And have feast their gods into -the fire: 
for they were no gods, ° but the work of men's 
hands, wood and stone : therefore they have de- 
stroyed them. 

20 Now therefore, O Lord our God, save

earth may know that thou art the Lord, even 
thou only. 

21 «[[ p Then IsaiaJi the son of Amoz sent unto pa Kings 
Hezekiah, saying. Thus saith th-^ Lord God of »•«• 
Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against 
Sennacherib king of Assyria : 

22 This is the word whic'i the Lord hath 
spoken concerning him ; ''The virgin, the daugh- 
ter of Zion, hath despised tliee, arid laughed 
thee to scorn ; the daughter of Jerusalem hath 
*■ shaken her head at thee. 

23 Whom hast tiiou/ reproached and bias- 'Ver.4,i7. 
phemed; and against whom hast thou exalted 

thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even 
against the * Holy One of Israel. 

24 1 By thy servants hast thou reproached tlie 
Lord, and hast said. By the multitude of my ff/^y^,"^'''' 
"chariots am I come up to the height of the ^""t'^ 
mountains, to the sides of Lebanon ; and I " 
will cut down t the tall cedars thereof, and the t Heb. 
choice fir-trees thereof: and I will enter into <>}%%%" 
the height of his border, and || the forest of his if!'indf'J 
Cannel. _ ^^-/X, 

25 I have digged, and di"unk water ; and with "^''"f- 
the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers h°fnresf 
of the It besieged places. /"4/a/ 

26 II Hast thou not heai'd long a_go, how I have ^''''■ 
done it ; a?id of ancient times, that I ha\'e formed je'^kani 
it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou Jj^"''- 
shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities into nJtth<m

27 Therefore their inhabitants ivere f of small tnf^o,

they \^'ere as the grass of the field; and as the Xk«"/"' 
gi-een herb, as the grass on the house-tops, and nZbnng 
as corn blasted before it be gi"own up. 'I«/l'lnd' 

28 But I knoAv thj- 1| abode, and thy going out, ifi'^r.U^ 
and thy coming in, and thy rage against me. 'he"p'^ 

29 Because tliy rage against me, and thy tu- tHeb! 
mult, is come up into mine ears, therefore will w."-^ 
I put my hook in thy nose, ^ and my bridle in 
thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by 
which thou earnest. 

30 And this ^ shall be a sign unto thee. Ye 
shall eat this year such as groweth of itself ; and 
the second year that which springeth of 
same : and in the third year so^r je, and reap, 
and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.

this. g;^^i-g ^ 

33 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerniiig 

the king of Assyria, "^ He shall not come into this b 2 Kings 
City, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before ' ' 
it with shields, nor cast a bank against it. 

34 By the way that he came, by the same 
shall he return, and shall not come into this city, 
saith the Lord.

2 Then Hezekiah turned his face toward the

3 And said, ''Remember now, O Lord, I 
beseech thee, now I haA e Avalked before thee in 
truth and with a perfect heart, and have done 
that ivhich is good in thy sight. And Hezekiah 
wept t sore. 

4 T[ Then came the word of the Lord to 
Isaiah, saying, 

5 Go and say to Hezekiah, Thus saith the 
Lord, the God of David thy father, =1 have 
heard thy prayer, I ha\e seen thj- tears : behold, 
^ I will add unto thy days fifteen yeare. 

6 And I M'ill deliver thee and this city out of 
the hand of the king of Assyria : ^and 1 will de- 
fend this city. 

7 And tliis shall be a sign unto thee from the 
Lord, that the Lord \\ii\ do this thing that he 
hath spoken ; 

8 Behold, I will bring again the shadow of

returned ten degrees, by w hich degrees it was 
gone down.

1 The promulgation of the gospel. 3 The preach-

God, 18 and his incomparableness, 26 comforteth 
the people. 
OMFORT ye, "comfort ye my people, 
saith your God. 

2 Speak ye f comfortably to Jerusalem, and cry 
unto her, that her || warfare is accomplished, that 
her iniquity is pardoned : for she hath received 
of the Lord's hand double for all her sins. 

3 Tf ** The voice of him that crieth in the wil- 
derness, Prepare ye tl^e way of the Lord, make 
straight in the desert a highway for our God. 

4 Every valley shall be exalted, and every 
mountain and hill shall be made low : "^ and the 
crooked shall be made 1| straight, and the rough 
places II plain: 

5 "^And the gloiy of the Lord shall be reveal- 
ed, and all flesh shall see it together: for the 
mouth of the Lord h-ath spoken it. 

6 The voice said, Cry. And he said, What 
shall I crj'"? ^All flesh is grass, and all the good- 
liness thereof is as the flower of die field : 

7 The grass withereth, the flower fadeth ; be- 
cause the spirit of the Lord bloweth upon it: i 
surely the people is giass. 

8 The grass Avithereth, the flower fadeth : but 
the ^ vvord of our God shall stand for ever. 

9 ^ II O Zion, that bringest good- tidings, get 
^o^thouthat thee up into the high mountain : || O Jerusalem, 
''"/4s^r/ that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with 
zicn. Strength ; lift it up, be not afraid ; say unto the 
o ;a™ that cities of Judali, Behold your God ! 

10 Behold, the Lord God will come || with 
strong hand., and his arm shall rule for him : be-

fore him. 

11 He shall ''feed his flock like a shepherd: he 
shall gather the lambs a\ ith his arm, and carry 
them in his bosom, and shall gently lead those 
II that are with young. 

12 ^ Who hath measured the \A-aters in the hol- 
low of his hand, and meted out heaven with the 
span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in 
t a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, 
and the hills in a balance ? 

13 ' Who hath directed the spirit of the Lord, 
or being f his counsellor, hath taught him ? 

14 With whom took he counsel, and nuho f in- 
structed him, and fciught him in the path of judg- 
nient, and taught him knowledge, iind shewed to 
him the way off understanding? 

15 Behold, the nations are as a drop of a

God to be praised for his gospel : CHAP. 

*" glory \vill I not gi^'e to another, neither my 
praise to graven images. 

9 Behold, the fonner things are come to pass, 
and new things do I declai-e : before they spring 
forth, I tell you of them. 

10 Sing unto the Lord a "new song, and his 
praise from the end of the eartli, ye that go down 
to the sea, and f all that is therein ; the isles, and 
the inhabitants thereof. 

11° Let tlie wilderness and the cities thereof 
lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth 
inhabit : p let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let 
them shout from the top of the mountains. 

12 Let them give gloiy unto the Lord, and 
declare his praise in the •» islands. 

13 The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, 
he shall stir up jealousy like a man of \\ ar : he 
shall cry, yea, roar ; he shall i| prevail against his 
enemies. 

14 I have long time holden my peace ; I have 
been still, and refrained myself : now ^\ ill I cry 
like a travailing woman ; I will destroy and t de- 
vour at once. 

15 I will make waste mountains and hills, and 
drj' up all their herbs ; and I will make the rivers 
islands, and I \\'\\\ diy up the pools. 

16 And I will bring tlie blind by a way that 
they knew not ; ' 1 Mill lead them in paths that 
they have not knoun : I \v\\\ make darkness light 
before them, and crooked things f straight. These 
things will I do unto them, and not foi'sake them. 

17 If They shall be turned back, =they shall 
be greatly ashamed, that trust in gra^'en images, 
that say to the molten images, Ye are our gods. 

18 'Heai-, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye 
may see. 

19 '^ Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as 
my messenger that I sent ? who is blind as he 
that is perfect, and blind as the Lord's servant? 

20 Seeing many tilings, " but thou obsei"vest 
not ; opening the ears, but he heaieth not. 

21 ''The Lord is well pkased for his righ- 
teousness' sake ; * he will magnify the law, and 
make li it honourable. 

22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled; 
II they are all of them snai-ed in holes, and they 
are hid in prison-houses : they are for a prey, 
and none deiiveretli; for fa spoil, and none saith, 
Restore. 

23 Who among you -will give ear to this ? 
i:oho Avill hearken, and hear \ for the time to 
come? 

24 ^\^lo gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to 
the robbers? ''did not the Lord, he against 
whom we ha^'e sinned ? for they \^ ould not walk 
in his ways, neither were they obedient unto 
his law. 

25 "^ Therefore he hath poured upon him the 
fury of his anger, and the strength of battle : and 
it hath "^set him on fire round about; ^ yet he 
knew not; and it bunied him, yet he laid it not 
to heait.

6 Thou hast heard, see all this ; and will not 
ye declare it ? I have shewed tliee ne^v things,

didst not knov%- them. 

7 They aie created now, and not from the

est them not ; lest thou shouldest say, Behoid, 
I knew them. 

8 Yea, thou heardest not ; yea, diou knewest 
not ; yea, from that time that thine ear \^"as not 
opened : for I knew that thou wouldest deal 
very treacherously, and ^\'ast called a transgressor

13 Mine hand also hath laid die foimdation

2 And he hath made ray ^ moutii like a shaip

hath he liid me ; 

3 And said unto me, ^TLou art my servant,

4 Then I said, I ha-^e laboured in vain, I have

6 Ajid he said, Jl It is a light diing that thou 
shouldest be my sen^ant, to raise up the ti-ibes of 
Jacob, and to restore the [i presened of Israel : 

1 will also give thee for a ^ light to die Gentiles,

to liim whom the nation abhoneth, to a servant of

8 Thus saidi the Lord, ^ In an acceptable time

1 An exhortation after the pattern of Abraham, 
to trust hi Christ, 3 by reason of his comfortable 
promises, 4 (f his ri^Jiteous salvation, 7 and 
mail's mortality. 9 Christ by his sanctified 
arm dcfendeth his from the fear of man: Yl he 
bcwaifeth the afflictions of Jerusalem^ 21 and 
promiseth deliverance. 

EARKEN to me, '' ye diat follow after 'Ver.?. 
ighteousness, ye tliat seek the Lord : M^Sl"i?; 
look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to 
the hole of the pit whence ye are digged. 

2 Look unto " Abraham your father, and unto \^^^*- 
Sarah that bare you : "* for I ciilled him alone, dcm. 
and blessed him, and increased him. "•''^• 

3 For die Lord shall " comfort Zion : he will eP'- «•«•>* 
comfort all her ^\aste places ; and he will make 

I her wilderness like Eden, and her desert '"like »Ge"-

6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look i 
upon the eaith beneath : for ' the heavens shall \ 
\ anish a^ray Uke smoke, " and the earth sliall wax 
old like a g-cumient, mid they tliat dwell therein 
shall die in like manner : but my saltation shall 
be for e^•er, and my righteousness shall not be 
abolished. 

7 H Heai-ken unto me, ye that know righte- 
ousness, the people " in whose heart is my law ; 
° fear ye not the reproach of men, neither be ye 
afraid of theii- revilings. 

8 P For the moth shall eat them up like a gar- 
ment, and the wonti shall eat them like wool : 
■^ but mj- righteousness shall be for _e\-er, and my 
salvation from generation to generation. 

9 H •■ Awake, awake, put on strength, O ann

the generations of old. Art thou not it tliat hath 
cut Raliab, and wounded tlie "^ dragon '? 

10 Art thou not it wliich hatli "^ dried tlie sea, 
the waters of the gi-eat deep ; tliat hath made die 
depths of the sea a way for tlie ransomed to pass 
over ? 

11 Therefore ^the redeemed of the Lord 
shall return, and come with singing unto Zion : 
and e-\^erlasting joy shall be upon their head : ^ they 
shall obtain gladness ajid joj' ; and sorrow and 
mournbig shaJl ftee a\\'ay. 

12 1, tr^en I, am he * that comforteth you : who 
art thou, tliat thou shouldest be afraid ^of a man 
that shall die, and of the son of man ii)hich shall 
be made ^ as grass ; 

13 And forgettest the Lord thy maker, *= that 
hath sti-etched forth the heaAcns, and laid the 
foundations of the earth ; and hast feai^ed conti- 
nualij' everj' day because of the fiirj' of the op- 
pressor, as if he !| were ready to destroy ? "^ and 
A\-here is the furj^ of the oppressor ? 

14 The captive exile hasteneth that he may be 
loosed, and that he should not die in die pit, nor 
that his bread should fail. 

15 But I am the Lord thy God, that * di^'ided 
the sea, %^'hose waves roared : The Lord of 
hosts is his name. 

16 And I ha^■e put my ^\'ords ^in thy mouth, 
and ha^■e coAcred thee in the shadow of mine 
hand, ^ that I may plant the heavens, and lay the 
foundations of the earth, and say unto Zion, 
Thou art my people. 

17 If •* Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, 
' which hast drunk at the hand of the Lord tlie 
cup of his furj', ^ thou hast drunken the dregs of 
tlie cup of trembling, and wrung them out. 

18 T/ie?-e is none to guide her among all the 
sons ivhom she hath brought forth ; neither is 
there any that taketh her by the jiand, of all the 
sons that she hath brought up. 

19 ' These two things f are come unto thee; 
who shall be sorrj' for thee ? desolation, and 
t destruction, and the famine, and die s^vord : 
by \\-hom shall I comfort diee ? 

20 Thy " sons have fiunted, they lie at tlie 
head of ail the streets, as a wild bull in a net : 
they are full of the furj- of the Lord, tlie rebuke

2 \\'herefore do ye f spend money for thM 
'ivhich is not bread? and j'our labour for that 
which satiifieth not r heai'ken diligently unto me,

3 Incline your ear, ^ and come unt6 me : hear,

and do justice : * for my Sithation is near 
to come, and my righteousness to be revealed. 

2 Blessed is the man that doetli this, and the 
son of man that layerh hold on it; ''ihatkeep- 
eth the sabbath from polluting it, and keepeth 
his hand from doing any evil. 

3 If Neitlier let die son of the "■ stranger, diat 
hathjoined himself to the Lord, speak, saying, 
The Lord hath utterly separated me fi-oni his 
people : neither let tlie eunuch say. Behold, I 
a7n a drj" tree. 

4 For thus saith the Lord unto the eunuchs 
that keep my sabbaths, and choose the things diat 
please me, and take hold of mj- co^'enant ; 

5 Even unto diem will I gi^ e in ^ mine house 
jjid within my walls a place and a ' name better 
tlian of sons and of daughters : I will gi^'e them 
an e-\erlasting name, that shall not be cut off; 

6 Also ihe sons of the stranger, that join tliem- 
selves to the Lord, to serve him, and to love 
the name of die Lord, to be his servants, e\er>- 
one tliat keepeth the sabbath from polluting it, 
and taketh hold of mj- covenant ; 

f E\en them \vill I ^ bring to my holy moun- 
tain, and make them joyful in my house of pray- 
er : s their burnt- offerings and their sacrifices 
shall be accepted upon mine altar ; for ^ mine 
house shall be called An house of prayer for all 
people. 

8 The Lord God which gathereth tlie out- 
casts-of Israel saith. Yet will I gather others to 
him, t beside diose that are gathered unto him. 

9 \ ' All ye beasts of the field, cometodexour,

11 Yea, they are f greedy dogs vohich f can 
never have enough, and they are shepherds that 
cannot understand : they aU look to their om n

(kclarcth ivhat promises are due unto godlmess., 
13 and to the keeping of the sabbath. 

CRY t aloud, * sp:uenot, lift up thy voice like 
a trumpet, and shew my people their trans- 
gression, and tlie house of Jacob their sins. 

2 ^ Yet they seek me daily, and delight to 
know my ways, as a nation that did righteousness, 
and forsook not the ordinance of tlieir Gcid : 
they ask of me the ordinances of justice ; tluy. 
take delight in approaching to God. 

3 11 " Wherefore have we fasted, say they, and 
thou seest not ? ivhereforc have v\ e "* afliicted our

9 Then shalt thou call, and tlie Lord shall

face from you, that ye M^iil not hetir. 

3 For " your hands ai-e defiled with blood, and 
your fingei-s with iniquity ; '^ your lips ha^•e 
spoken lies, your tongue hath muttered per- 
versene-s. 

4 ' None calleth for justice, nor any pleadeth 
fortrudi: they trust in vanity, and speak lies; 
'they conceive mischief, and bring forth ini- 
quity. 

5 'They hatch || cockatiice' eggs, and weave 
the spider's web : he tliat eatetli of their eggs 
thichu*' dieth, and || that which is crushed breaketh out 
Z^-d'tf^fe^ into a viper.

g'job 9. 14, neiiher shall tliey cover themsehes ^\ith their 
'*• works : their works are works of iniquhj', and 

die act of violence is in their hands. 

7 ^ Then- feet run to evil, and they make haste 
to shed innocent blood : their thoughts are thoughts 
of iniquity ; \\'asting and i" destruction are in 
their paths. 

8 The way of peace they know not; and there 
ior, Tight, ig nQ II judgment in their goings : they have made 
i^;!l!i5: them ' crooked paths : whosoever goeth therein

10 •" We grope for the wall like the blind, and 
we grope as if ive had no eyes : we stumble at 
noon-day as m the night ; we are in desolate 
places, as dead me?i. 

1 1 We roar all like bears, and " mourn sore like 
doves ; we look for judgment, but there is none ; 
for salvation, bia it is far off from us. 

12 For our transgi-essions are multiplied before 
thee, and our sins testify against us : for our 
ti-ansgressions are with us ; and as for our ini-

Lord, and departing away from our God, 
speaking oppression and re-volt, conceiving and 
uttering " fi'om the heart words of fdsehood. 

14 And judgment is turned away backward, 
and justice standeth afai* off: for truth is fallen 
in the street, and equity cannot enter. 

15 Yea, trutli faileth ; and he that departeth

nor night: || ye tliat make mention of the Lord, 
keep not silence, 

7 And gi\e him no f rest, till he establish, and 
till he make Jerusalem a praise in the earth. 

8 The Lord hath sworn by his right hand,

*T 71 rHO is diis that cometh from Edom, w ith 
V V dyed garaients from Bozi-ah .'' this that is

ness of his strength ? I that speak in righteousness, 
might\' to save. 

2 \Vherefore '' art thou red in thine apparel, 
and thy gannents like him that treadeth in die 
wine- fat ? 

3 I have *= trodden the wine-press alone ; and 
of the people tJiej-e was none with me : for I ^vill 
tread them in mine anger, and trample tiiem in 
my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled 
upon my garments, and I ^^"ill stain all my rai- 
ment. 

4 For the ^ day of vengeance is in mine heart, 
and the year of my redeemed is come. 

5 And I looked, ^ and tliere was none to help ; 
and I \\^ondered that there was none to uphold : 
therefore mine own f arm brought salvation unto 
me ; and my furj', it upheld me. 

6 And I w ill tread dovm the people in mine 
anger, and make diem ^ drunk in my furj', and 
1 will bring down their strength to the earth. 

7 1[ I ''will mention the loving-kindnesses of 
the Lord, arid the pi-aises of die Lord, accord- 
ing to all that die Lord hath bestowed on us, 
and the great goodness toward die liouse of Is- 
rael, which he hath bestowed on them accorduig 
to his mercies, and according to the multitude 
of his loving-kindnesses. 



8 For he siiid, Sui-ely they are my people,

Aiour. 

9 ^I In all their affliction ' he was afflicted, 
^ and the angel of liis presence saved them : ' in

10 IT But diey " rebelled, and \-exed his holy

ses, a?id his people, saying, Where is he th^t 
^ brought them up out of the sea wiih the || sliep-

12 That led them by die right hand of Mo-

before them, to make himself an everlasting 
name ? 

13 " That led them tiirough die deep, as an 
horse in the wilderness, that tiiey should not 
stumble ? 

14 As a beast goeth down into the v-allej-, the 
Spirit of the Lord caused him to rest : so didst 
diou lead thy people, ^ to make diyself a glorious

15 1[* Lookdovra from heaven, and behold

20 =* Destruction upon destniction is cried ; 
for the whole land is spoiled : suddenly are ^ my 
tents spoiled, and my curtains in a moment. 

21 How long shall I see the standard, and hear

*Gcn.i.2. ^^j^ {orxn and void; and the heavens, and they

24 I beheld the mountains, \ and, lo, they trem-

25 I beheld, and, lo, there was no man, ^ and 
all the birds of the heavens were fled. 

26 I beheld, and, lo, the fruitful place ivas a 
wilderness, and ail the cities thereof were broken 
do^^^l at the presence of the Lord, and by his 
fierce anger. 

27 For thus hath the Lord said, The whole 
land sfiall be desolate ; * yet will I not make a 
frill end.

St'm. a.^"' heavens above be black : because I have spoken 
it, I have purposed zV, and will not repent, nei-

29 The whole city shall flee for the noise of 
the horsemen and bowmen ; tliey shall go into 
thickets, and climb up upon the rocks : every city 
shall be forsaken, and not a man dwell therein. 

30 And when thou art spoiled, what wilt thou 
do ? Thou.gh thou clothest tliyself witli crimson,

31 For I have heard a voice as of a woman in 
travail, and the anguish as of her that bringeth 
forth her first child, the voice of the daughter of 
Zion, that bewaileth herself, ^ that spreadeth her 
hands, saying, Woe is me now ! for my soul is 
wearied because of murderers.

evil to evil, and they know not me, saith the

9 And 




The yews threatened. CHAP 

9 And the Lord said unto me, ^ A conspiracy 
is found among the men of Judali, and among the 
inhabitants of Jerusalem. 

10 They are turned back to the iniquities ' oi 
their forefathers, which refused to hear my 
words ; and they went after other gods to serve 
them : the house of Israel and the house of Ju- 
dah ha\e broken my covenant which I made widi 
their fathers. 

11 ^Therefore, thus saiththe Lord, Behold, 

I will l:ring evil upon them, which they shall not 
be able f to escape ; and '' though they shall cry 
unto me, I will not heai-ken unto them. 

12 Then shall the cities of Judah and inhabit- 
ants of Jerusalem go, ' and cry unto the gods 
unto whom they offer incense: but they shall 
not sa^-e them at all in the time of their f trouble. 

13 For according to the number of thy "" cities 
v.ere thy gods, O Judah ; and accordi?ig to the 
number of the streets of Jerusalem have ye set 
up altai's to " that t shameful thing, even altai-s to 
burn incense unto Baal. 

14 Therefore ° pray not thou for this people, 
neither lift up a cry or prayer for diem: for I 
will not hear thejn m the time that they cry unto 

tHeb.evu. mc for their t trouble. 

15 P t What hath my beloved to do in mine 
house, seeing she hath \\TOught lewdness ■with 
many, i and the holy flesh is passed from thee ? 

II when thou doest evil, then thou rejoicest. 

16 The Lord called thy name, A green olive- 
tree, fair and of goodly fruit: ^vith the noise 
of a great tumult he hath kindled fire upon it, and 
the bn r.ches of it are broken. 

17 For the Lord of hosts, •■ tliat planted thee, 
hath pronoimced evil against thee, for the evi! 
of the house of Israel and of the house of 
Judah, which they have done against themselves 
to provoke me to anger in offering incense unto 
Bail. 

18 ^ And the Lor d hath given me knowledge 
of it, and I know it : then thou shewedst me 
their doings. 

19 But I was like a lamb or an ox that is 
brought to the slaughter ; ^ and I kne^v not that 
they had devised devices against me, saying, 
* Let us destroy f the tree ^vith the fruit there- 
of, and let us cut him off from the land of the 
living, that his name may be no more remem- 
bered. 

20 But, O Lord of hosts, that judgest righ- 
teously, that " triest the reins and the heart, let 
me see tliy vengeiuice on them : for unto diee 
have I revealed my cause. 

21 Therefore thus saith die Lord of the men 
of Anathodi, " that seek thy life, saying, y Pro- 
phesy not in the name of the Lord, that thou 
die not by our hand : 

22 Therefore, thus saith the Lord of hosts. 
Behold, I \\-\Vl t punish them : the young men 
shall vlie by the sword ; then- sons and their daugh- 
ters shall die by famine : 

23 And there shall be no remnant of them : for 
I will bring evil upon the men of Anadioth, even 
tlie year of their visitation.

eth hivi of his brethren'' s treachery against him, 
7 and lamenteth his heritage. 14 Re promiseth 
to the peniteiit a reiurnfrom captivity. 

IGHTEOUS art'l\on, OLord, when I a p.. 51.4

3 But thou, O Lord, •= knowest me : thou hast 
seen me, and tried mine heart f to\^'ard thee : 
pull them out like sheep "^ for the slaughter, a;'.ci 
prepare them for the day of slaughter. 

4 Hov»^ long shall ihe land mourn, arid the 
herbs of every field wither, ^ for ihe "xvickLdnes^ 
of them that "dvv'eii thereiji ? ^ the beasts are con- 
sumed, and the birds; because they said, He

e\ eiy man to his heritage, and eveiT man to his

16 And it shall come to pass, if they will dili- 
gently leani the ways of my ix:ople, p to swear 
by my name, The Lohd liveth; as they taught 
my people to swear by Baal ; then shall tliey be 
built in the midst of my people. 

17 But if they w ill not ^ obey, I will utter-

Loud. 

CHAP. xni. 

1 In the type of a linen girdle, hidden at Euphrates, 
God prefigurcth the destruction of his people. 
12 Under the parable of t/ie bottles Jilted ivit/i 
"d'inc, heforetelleth their drunkenness in misery. 
15 He exhorteth to present their future jiidg- 
?naits. 22 He sheiveth their abominations are 
the cause thereof. 

THUS saith the Lord unto me, Go, and get 
thee ^ a linen girdle, and put it upon thy 
loins, and put it not in w ater. 

2 *" So 1 got a giidle according to the Mord of 
the Lon n, and put it on mv loins. 

3 And the \\ord of the Loud came unto me 
the second time, saying, 

4 Take the girdle that tliou hast got, which is 
upon thy loins, and ari.se, go to *= Euphrates, and 
hide it there in a hole of the rock. 

5 So I w ent, and hid it by Euphrates, ^ as the 
Lord comniiuided me. 

G And it came to pass after many da>'s, that the 
Loud said unto me. Arise, go to luiphrates, and 
t:ike the girdle from thence, \\ hich I commanded 
thee to hide there. 

7 Then I w cut to Euphrates, and digged, and 
took the girdle fiom the place where I had hid 
it: and, behold, the girdle was maiTcd, 'it was 
profitable for nothing. 

8 Then the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

9 Thus saith the Lou n. After this manner will 
I ' mar the pride of Judah, luid the great pride of 
Jerus;ilem. 

10 Tliis evil people which refuse to hear my 
words, \\ hich walk in the || imagination of their 
hcait, and walk after other gods, to serve them, 
and to worship dietn, sludl e^en be as this girdle, 
w hich is good for nothing. 

1 1 I'or as the girdle cleaveth to the loins of a 
mr.n, so have I caused to clea%e unto me the 
whole house of Israel, and the whole house ol 
•ludah, saith the Lord ; «that they might be unto 
me for a people, *" and for a name, and for a praise, 
aiifl for a glory : but they would not hear. 

1 2 ^ Therefore thou shalt speak unto them 
this word; Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, 
l'',\(Ty lx)ttle sh.iil Ix: filled ^itli wine : and they 
shall say unm thee. Do >\e not cerUiinly know 
that every bottle sh;Ul be filled with Avine ? 



and of the xvine -bottles. 

13 Then shalt thou say unto them, Thus siiith ^hr^t 
the Loud, Behold, I will fjll all tlie inhabitants of ''■•■la- 
this land, e\en the kings that sit upon David's ' '""' 
throne, and the priests, and the prophets, and iill 
the inhabitLUits of Jerusalem, 'with drunkenness. ii*a.ji.iT, 

14 And I will dash them f one agiunst ajiother, ciVa^^.b?: 
even the fathers ai;d the sons together, saith the J "'■''• 
Loud: I w ill not pitv, nor spare, nor have mercv , ^'"'"' '"' 
t but destroy them.' " *""?" 

15 H Hear ye, and gi\e ear : be not proud : for f;^"^''"'^ 
tlie Loud hath spoken. 

16 ^ Give glorj' to the Lord your God, before k josh. 
he cause ' darkness, and before your feet stum- '" *'■ 
ble upon tlic daik mountain^, and while ye lool Am^ie.V 
for light, he turn it into the '"shadow of death, mPsaimt 
and make // gross darkness. 

17 But if ye will not hear it, my soul shall 
weep in secret places for your p'ide; and " mine nchap.o.i 
eye shall weep sore, and n\n do\ui with teiirs, \o"ir2.u 
because the Lord's flock is c-irried awav cap-

20 Lift up your eyes, and lx;hold them 'that pch^p.

21 What w ilt Uiou say when he sh.dl f punish ^,Uf^;„

3 And tlieir nobles have sent theii- little ones 
to the A\ aters : they came to the pits, aJid found

ty ; they were ashamed and confounded, '^ iind 
coAcred" their heads. 

4 Because the ground is chapt, for there was no 
i-ain in the earth, the ploughmen ^A\ere ashamed, 
they coAcred their heads. 

5 Yea, - the hind also cah ed in the field, and

6 And *' the wild asses did stand in the high 
places, they snuffed up the wind like dragons ; 
their eyes did fail, because there rcas no grass. 

7 Ti O Lord, though our iniquities testify 
against us, " do tliou it for thy name's sake : for 
our backslidings are many ; we haAC sinned 
ag-ainst thee. 

8 '^ O the Hope of Israel, the SaA iour thereof 
in time of trouble, Avhy shouldest tliou be as a 
stranger in the land, and as a Avayfai^ing man that 
tunieth aside to taiiy for a night ? 

9 Why shouldest thou be as a man astonied, 
as a mighty man that cannot save ? 'yet thou, O 
Lord, ai't in the midst of us, and f '^^'S ^I'C 
called by thy name ; leaAC us not. 

10 •[[ Thus saiththe Lord unto this pec^le, 
^ Thus have they loved to wander, they hxse 
not refrained their feet ; therefore the Lord doth 
not accept them ; ' he Avill noA\' remember their 
iniquity, and visit their sins. 

11 Then said the Lord unto me, " Pray not 
for this people for their good. 

12 " ll'hen thej- fast, I A\ill not heai- their ciy ; 
and A\hen they offer bumt-offering and an obla- 
tion, I will not-accept them : but I Avill consume 
them by the SA\"ord, and by the famine, and by 
the pestilence. 

13 H Then said I, Ah, Lord God ! behold, 
the prophets say unto them. Ye shall not see the 
sword, neither shall ye have famine ; but I will 
give you f assured peace in this place. 

14 Then the Lord said unto me. The pro- 
phets prophesy lies in my name : " I sent them 
not, neither haA e I commanded them, neither 
spake unto tliem : they prophesy unto j'ou a false 
\ ision and divination, and a thing of nought, and 
the deceit c£ their heai-t. 

15 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning 
the proi)hets that prophesy in my name, and I 
sent them not, ^ yet they say, SAVord and famine 
shall not be in this land ; By SAAord and famine 
shall those j^rophets be consumed. 

16 And the people to Avhom they prophesy 
shall be cast out in the streets of Jerusalem, be- 
cause of the famine and tlie sxAord : "^ and they 
shall have none to bury them, them, their Avives, 
nor their sons, nor their daughters ; for I A\ill 
pour their Avickedness upon them. 

17 If Therefore thou shalt say this A\ord 
imto them; "" Let mine eyes run doAvn Avith

17 For mine "f eyes are upon all their ways: 
vhey are not hid from my face, neitlier is their 
iniquity hid from mine eyes. 

18 And first I will recompense their iniquity 
and their sin * double ; * because thej- have de- 
filed my land, they have filled mine inheritance 
w ith the carcases of their detestable and abomi- 
nable things. 

19 O Lord, my strength, and my fortress, 
and my refuge ^ in the day of affliction, the^ 
Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of 
the earth, and shall say. Surely our fathers ha\e 
inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there 
is no profit. 

20 Shall a man make gods unto himself, and 
<= they a?-e no gods ? 

21 Therefore, behold, I will this once cause 
them to kno^\', I m ill cause them to know mine 
hand and my might ; and they shall know that 
^ my name is The Lord. 

CHAP. xvn. 

1 The captivity ofjudahforher sin. 5 Trust 
in man is cursed, 7 in God is blessed. 9 The de- 
ceitful lieart cannot dccei've God. 12 The sal- 
vation of God. 15 The prophet complaineth 
of the mockers of his prophecy: 19 he is sent 
to renew the covenant in hallcming the sabbath. 

THE sin of Judah is WTitten ■\\ ith a * pen of 
iron, and with the f point of a diamond : 
it is '° graven upon the table of their heart, and 
upon the horns of your altai-s ; 

2 Whilst their children remember their altai's 
and their ' groves by the green trees upon the 
high hills. 

3 O my mountain in the field, * I will gi-^e 
thy substance and all tliy treasures to the spoil, 
and ' thy high places for sin, throughout all 
thy borders. 

4 And thou, even \ thyself, shalt discontinue 
fi-om thine heritage that I gave thee ; and I will 
cause diee to serve thine enemies in the land 
^ which thou kno^vest not : ^ for ye have kindled 
a fire in mine anger, which shall bum for 
ever. 

5 TI Thus saith the Lord ; '^ Cursed be the 
man that trusteth in man, * and maketh flesh his 
arm, and whose heart depart.eth fi-om the Lord. 

6 For he shall be like the heath in the desert, 
and shall not see when good cometh ; but shall 
inhabit the paixhed places in the wilderness, in 
a salt land and not inhabited. 

7 '' Blessed is the man that trusteth in the 
Lord, and Avhose hope the Lord is : 

8 For he shall be ^ as a tree planted by the 
vvaters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the 
ri^•er, and shall not see when heat cometh, but 
her leaf sliall be gieen ; and shall not be careful 
in the year of || drought, neither shall cease from 
yielding fiaiit. 

9 \ The heart is deceitful above all things, 
and desperately wicked : who can know it ? 

10 1 the Lord •" search the heart, / trj-- the

Co^ threatcneth false prophets. JEREMIAH 

18 For who hath stood in the || counsel of the 
Lord, and hath pcrcciAcd and hcaixl his word? 
\\ ho hath marked his \\ ord, and heard it ? 

19 Behold, a ''whirlwind of the Lord is 
gone forth in i'wry, e\'en a grie\'ous whirh\ind : 

zrs.7.ifi. it shall fall grievously * upon the head of the 

wicked.

until he ha\ e executed, and till he have perform- 
bGen.*.i. edthe thoughts of his heai-t: ^ in the latter cbys 

ye shall consider it perfectly. 

21 ■= I ha\e not sent these prophets, yet they 
ran : I have not spoken to them, yet they pro- 
phesied. 

22 But if thej- "^had stood in my counsel, ajid 
c i;.M>. IS. had caused my people to hear my AAords, * then 

they should have turned diem from thtar e\il 
way, and from the t\\\ of thejr doings. 

23 7^7?; I a God at hand, saitli the Lord, and 
not a God afar off.' 

24 Can any *^hide himself in secret places that 
I skill not see him ? saitli the Lord. ^ Do not 1 
fill heaven and earth .-^ saith the Lord. 

25 I haA'C heard ^\•hat the prophets said, that 
proi)hesy lies in my name, saying, I ha\ e dream- 
ed, I have dreamed. 

26 How long shall this be in the heart of die 
prophets that prophesy lies .'' yea, theij are pro- 
piietsof the deceit of their own heart; 

27 Which think to cause my people to forget 
my name by their dreams w hich they tell eveiy 
man to his neighboui-, ^ as their latliers have for- 
gotten mvname for Baal. 

28 The i^rophet f that hath a dream, let him 
tell a dream ; and he that hath my word, let him 
spciikmy word feithfully. What «the 'chaff to 
the wheat? s;uth the Lord. 

29 Is not my word like as a fire ? saith the 
Lord; and like a hammer that breiilceth the 
rock in pieces ? . 

30 Therefore, behold, ^ I am against tlie pro- 
^4.1T'""phcts, saith the Loud, that steal my Mords every 

one from his neighbour. _ 

31 Behold, I avi against the prophets, saith

CHAP. XXIV. 
1 Under the type of good and bad figs., 4 heforc- 
she%veth the restoration of them that ivere in 
captivity, 8 and the desolation of Zedekiah and 
the rest. 

THE ^LoRD shewed me, and, behold, t\\o 
baskets of figs were set before the tem- 
ple of the Lord, after that Nebuchadrezziu- 
** king of Babylon had carried aA\ay captive "^ Je- 
coniah the son of Jehoiakim king of Judali, and 
the princes of Judah, wiUi the carpenters and 
smiths, from Jerusalem, and had brought them 
to Babylon. 

2 One basket hadxcTy good figs, even like the 
figs that are first ripe : and the other basket had 
verj' naughty figs, \\hich could not be eaten, 
t they were so bad. 

3 Then said the Lord unto me, ^ What seest 
thou, Jeremiah? and I said. Figs; the good figs, 
Acry good; and the evil, veiyc\il, that cannot be 
eaten, they are so c\il. 

4 If Again the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

5 Thus saith die Lord, ' the God of Israel ; 
Like these good figs, so will I acknowledge 
t them that are canned away captiAC of Judah, 
\\ hom I haA c sent out of this place into the land 
of tlie Chaldeans for their good. 

6 For ^ I will set mine eyes upon them for go<xl, 
^ and I A\ ill bring thcin again to this land : and I 
w ill build them, and not pull the?n down ; and 1 
will plant diem, and not pluck thein up. 

7 And I w ill give them ^ iui heart to know me, 
that I am the Lord : and they shall l^e 'my peo- 
ple, and I will be their God: for they shall re- 
turn unto me \\ idi dieir w hole heart. 

8 H And as the c\'il '' figs, which cannot be 
eaten, they are so evil ; surely thus saith the 
Lord, So will I give Zedekiah the king of Ju- 
dah, and his princes, and die residue of Jerusa- 
lem, diat remiiin in this kuid, and them that 
dw ell in the land of Egypt : 

9 And I w ill deli\er them f to ' be removed 
into all the kingdoms of the earth for their hurt, 
to be a reproach and a pro\eib, a taunt mid a 

, in all places wiiilhcr I shall dri\ e them.

Under the type of bonds and yokes is shelved CHAP 
malah of ^Kirjatli-jeai-im, who prophesied against 
this city and against this hmd according to all 
the \\ Olds of Jeremiah : 

21 And Avhen Jehoiakim the king, with all 
his mighty men, and all the princes, heard his 
words, ''the king sought to put him to death: 
but when Urijah hciird it, he was afniid, ' and 
fled, and went into Egypt ; 

22 And Jehoiakim the king sent men into 
Egypt, namely., Elnatkin the son of Achbor, 
and certain men ^\ ith him into Egypt. 

23 And they fetched forth Urijah out of Egypt, 
and brought him unto Jehoiakim the king; who 
slew him ^\ ith the svrord, and cast his dead body 
into tiie graves of the t common people. 

24 Nevertheless ''the hand of Aliikam the son 
of Shaphan was Avith Jeremiah, thiit they should 
not giA e him into the hand ol' the people to put 
him to deadi. 

CHAP. XXVJI. 
1 Uridcr the type of bonds and yokes he prophesieth 
the Sidjdtiin.; of the neighbouring: kin^s unto Ne- 
btichadriczzar : 8 he exhorteth them to yield., 
and not to belieiye the false prophets : 12 the like 
he doeth to Zedekiah : 19 heforetclletli the rem- 
7iant of the vessels shall be carried to Bab;/ Ion, 
cmd there continue until the day of visitation. 

IN the beginnhig of the reign of Jehoiakim the 
son of Josiah * king of Judali, cunie this ^'-ord 
unto JeremiiJi fi-om tlie Lord, saying, 

2 Thus saith the Lord to me; iNIake thee 
bonds and yokes, ''and put them upon thy neck, 

3 And send them to the king of Edom", and to 
the king of Moab, and to the king of the Ammon- 
ites, and to the king of Tyrus, and to the king 
of Zidon, by tlie hand of die messengers v\-hich 
come to Jerasdem unto Zedekiali king of Judah ; 

4 A id commaiid them ji to say unto dieir mas- 
ters. Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
Israel j Thus shall yc say unto your masters; 

5 ' I ha\ e made the eaith, the m;m and the beast 
tliat are upon the ground, by uiy great pov.er 
and by my out- stretched aim, and ^ have gi\^en 
it unto vvhorn it seemed meet unto me. 

6 And now have I gi\'e all these lands into 
the hand of Ncbuchad:iezzar the king of Baby- 
lon, ^ my servant: imd the Ijeasts of the field have 
i gi\'en him also to serve kiim. 

7 ^ And all nations shall serve him, and his son, 
and his son's son, ^ until the verj- time of his land 
come : and then ^ many n.itions and great kings 
shall serve themselves of him. 

8 And it shrdi come to pass, that the nation 
and kingdom \^hich Avill not serve the same Ne- 
buchadnezziii- the king of Babylon, and that will 
not put their neck under the yoke of the king of 
B.ibylon, that nation v.ill I puUioh, saith the 
Loud, \vith the svv-ord, and v.ith the famine, 
and Avith tlie pestilence, undi I h.ive consumed 
them by lis h:^nd. 

9 Therefore, hearken not ye to your prophets, 
nor to your clivineis, nor to your f dreamers, 
nor to your enchanters, nor to your sorcerers, 
wliich speiik unto you, saying, '"Ye shall not 
aer\e the king of Babylon : 



XXVII. the subduing of the neighbouring nations. 

10 For they prophesy '' a lie unto you, to re- 
mo^e you far from your land ; mid that I should 
diive you out, aid ye should perish. 

11 "But the nations that bring their neck un- 
der the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve 
him, those will I let remain stiU in their ov n 
land, saidi the Lord ; and they shiill till it, ai:d 
d\\"ell therein. 

12 IT I spake also to Zedekiiih king of Judaii 
according to all these \^ ords, saA'iiig, ' Bring your 
necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, 
and sei-\e him and his people, and Ywe. 

13 ■" Why will ye die, thou and thy people, 
by the sword, b\- the famine, and by the pesti- 
lence, as the Lord hath spoken agidnst the 
nation that will not ser-ve the king of Babylon ? 

14 Therefore hearken not unto the \yords of 
the prophets tliat speak unto you, saving. Ye 
shall not serAC the king of Babylon: ibr they 
prophesy " a lie unto you. 

15 For I hi\e not sent them, saith th' 
Lord, yet thc_y prophesy t a lie in my name ; 
diat I might dii\ e you out, and that ye might 
perish, ye, and the prophets that prophesy 
unto you. 

16 Also I spake to the priests and to all this 
people, saying. Thus saitli die Lord ; Heai'ken 
Tiofto the words of your prophets that pro- 
phesy urito you, saj-ing, Behold, "the vessels 
of tlie Lord's house sh.di now shortly :;e 
broil gill again fi-om Babj'lon : for they proplieiy 
a lie unto you. 

17 P Hearken not unto them; serve the kJn.^ 
of B b\!on, ic-nd li'>e: wherefore should this 
city be i-.iid waste .'' 

is Bet if the; be prophets, and lithe word of 
the LoitD be v.itli chcm, let them now niiuie 
""intercession to the Lov-d of hosts, that the 
vessels wlilch are left ir the house of die Lok d, 
i;nd in the house of the king of Judali, and at 
Jei usalem, go not to B. bylon. 

19 ^For thus s-dtk the Lord of hosts, con- 
cerning the ' pillars, and co;ic::ming the sea, and 
cor.eeiiiing die bases, and concerning the residue 
o; the vts.sel8 that remain in this citj% 

20 ^Vhich Nebucnacbiezz:r king of Babyion 
took not, when he carried a'.\aj^ * captiAC Jcco- 
niah die son of Jehoiakim king of Judtdi f om 
Jerusalem to B.. by Ion, and all the rfobles of Ju- 
dah ::nd Jerusalem ; 

21 Yea, thus saith the Lord of hosts, the 
God of Israel, concerning the vessels that remain 
in the house of the Lord, and in the house of 
the king of JudcJi and of Jerusalem; 

22 They shall be " carried to Babylon, and 
there shall they be until the day that_ I " Aisit

disobedience : 20 he shevoeth the fecnful end of 
Ahab and Zedekiah, two lying prophets. 24 
Shemaiah writeth a letter against Jeremiah.

18 And I will persecute them with the sword,

will deliver them to be removed to all the king- 
doms of the earth, f to be a curse, and an asto- 
nishment, and an hissing, and a reproach, among 
all the nations wMther I have diiven them. 

19 Because they have not hearkened to my 
viords, saith the Lord, which ^ I sent unto 
them by my servants the prophets, rising up 
early and sending them; but ye would not hear, 
saith the Lord. 

20 U Hear ye therefore the word of the Lord, 
all ^ ye of the captivity, ^^4lom =* I have sent from 
Jerusalem to Babylon : 

21 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
Israel, of Ahab the son of Kolaiah, and of Zede-

unto you in my name ; Behold, " I will deliver them

23 Because they have committed villany in 
Israel, ^ and have committed adultery with their

in my name, v\'hich I have not commanded

the Lord.

priest, and to all the priests, saying, 

26 The Lord hath made thee priest in the

himself t/itis; Thou hast chastised me, and I was 
chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the tjoke : 
>■ turn thou me, and I shall be turned ; for thou 
art the Lord my God. 

19 Surely * after that I was turned, I repent- 
ed ; and after that I m as instructed, I smote 
upon my thigh : I was ashamed, yea, even con- 
founded, because I did bear the reproach of my 
^ youth. 

20 Is Ephraim my dear son? is he a pleasant 
child? for since I spake against him, 1 do ear- 
nestly remember him still : therefore my bowels 
t are troubled for him ; '' I wiH surely have mer- 
cy upon him, saith the Lord. 

21 Set thee up way-marks, make thee high 
heaps : set thine heait = toward the highway, en^en 
the way ixihich thou wentest : turn again, O vir- 
gin of Israel, turn again to these tliy cities. 

22 \ How^ long wilt ^ thou go about, " O thou 
backsliding daughter ? for the Lord hath created 
a new thing in the eaith, ^ A \\ oman shall com- 
pass a man. 

23 Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of 
Israel ; As yet they shall use this speech in the 
land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I 
shall bring again their capti^^ity ; The Lord bless 
thee, O habitation of justice, «;zrf mountain of 
holiness. 

24 And there shall dwell in Judali itself, ^ and 
in all the cities thereof together, husbandmen, and 
they that go forth with flocks. 

25 For I have satiated the weaiy soul, and I 
have replenished every sorro^^ful soul. 

26 Upon this '^ I awaked, and beheld ; and my 
sleep was sweet unto me. 

27^ Behold, the days come, saith the Lord, 
that ' I will so^\- the house of Israel, and the house 
of Judah with the seed of man, and 'with the seed 
of beast. 

28 And it shall come to pass, that like as I 
ha-\e Avatched o\'er them, to pluck up, and to 
break do^n, and to throw down, and to destroy, 
and to afflict; so ^v•ill I watch over them, to build 
and to plant, saith the Lord. 

29 ''In those days they shall say no more. The 
fathers ha\^e eaten a soin- grape, and the chil- 
di"en's teeth are set on edge. 

30 ' But eveiy one shall die for his o\\n iniqui- 
ty: e^ery man that eateth the sour gi-ape, his 
teeth shall be set on edge. 

31 Behold, the "^ days come, saith the Lord, 
that I will make a new co\ enant with the house 
of Israel, and with the house of Judah : 

32 Not according to the covenant that I made 
\\\\h. their fathers in the day that I " took them 
by the htuid to bring them out of the land of 
Egypt; \\hich my co^entmt they brake, || al- 
though ° I M as an husband unto them, saith the

thee my field that is in Anathoth : for the ' right

8 So Ilanameel mine uncle's son came to me

buy if for thyself. Then I kneA\' that this nvas

him the money, ^-d^// II seventeen shekels of siher. 

10 And I 1 subscribed the evidence, and .seal-

1 By the obedience of the Rechabites, 12 Jeremiah 
condcniiieth the disobedience of the Jenvs. 18 God 
blesseth the Rechabites for their obedience. 

THE word which came unto Jeremiah fiom 
the Lord ""in the days of Jehoiakim the 
son of Josiali king of Judah, saying, 

2 Go unto the house of the ^Recha!;ites, and 
speak unto them, and bring them into the house 
of the Lord, into one of the "= chambers, and 
give them wine to drink. 

3 Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jere- 
niiah, the son of Habaziniah, and his brethren, 
and cill his sons, and the whole house of the 
Rechabites ; 

4 And I brought them into the house of tlie 
Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Hanan, 
the son of Igdaliah, a mail of God, which ivas 
by the chamber of the princes, which ivas above 
the chamber of Maaseiali the son of Shailum, 
the keeper of the f door : 

5 And I set before the sons of the house of the 
Rechabites pots full of wine, and cups, and I 
said urito them. Drink ye wine. 

6 But they said. We will drink no wine : ^ for 
Jonadab the son of Rechab our father command- 
ed us, saying. Ye shall drink no wine, neither ye, 
nor your sons for e^'er : 

7 Neither shall ye build house, nor so\v seed, 
nor plant vineyard, nor have any : but all your 
days ye shcill dwell in tents ; that ye may live 
many days in the land where ye be strangers. 

8 * Thus have ^\"e obeyed the voice of Jonadab 
the son of Rechab our father, in all that he hath 
charged us, to drink no wine all our days, we, 
our wives, our sons, nor our daugliters ; 

9 Nor to biiiid houses for us to dvrell in : 
neither have we vineyajrd, nor field, nor ^eed : 

10 But we have dwelt in tents, and luwe obey- 
ed, and done according to ail that Jonadab our 
father commanded us. 

• Chap. 11 But it came to pass, ^ when Nebuchadrez- 
''*■ '■ z'cxr king oi Babylon ciim.e up into tl-se land, tl'-at 
\Ve Sold, Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for 
fear cf the ainiy v>f t)ie Chaldeans, and for tear 
of the army of the Syrians : so we dw ell at 
Jerusalem. 

12 •] Then came tlf£ word of the Lord unto 
Jei'emiah, sayiii-c, 

13 Thus saitli the Lord of liosts, the God 
of Lraei; Go and tell the ^ men of Judah and 
the inliabicants of Jerusalem, ^ Will ye not re- 
ceive instruction to hearken to my words ? saith 

LukeVie. the Lord. 

14 The words of .lonadab the son of Recliab, 
that he commcUided his sons not to drink' As'ine, 
are performed ; for unto this day they drink none, 
but obey their . fatliers cornmandmeiit : not-

■Baruch and 'Jehud'i read the roll: JEREMIAH 

7 It maj' be t they vrAX present their bupplica- 
tion lx?fore the Lord, and vill return cxtry one 
ffom his evil way : "' for great is tlic anger and 
the fur>' that the Lord hath pronounced against 
this people. 

8 And Banich the son of Neriah did accord- 
ing to all that Jeremiah the prophet commanded 
him, reading in the book ll»e words of the Lord 
in tiie Lord's house. 

9 And it came to pass in the " fifth year of Je- 
hoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah, in the 
ninth month, t/iat ° they pr'x:laimed a fast before 
the Lord to all the people in Jenisalem, and to 
all the people that came from the cities of Judali 
unto Jenisalem. 

10 Then read Bi\ruch in the book the words of 
Jeremiah in the house of the Lord, in the cham- 
ber of Gemaiiah the son of Shaphan the scribe, 
in the higher court, at the ll Pentrj' of the new- 
gate of the Lord's house, in the ears of all the 
people. 

11 If When Michaiah the son of ''Gemariah, 
the son of "■ Shaphan, had heard out of the book 
all the words of the Lord, 

12 Then he went down into the king's house, 
into the 'scribe's chamber : and, lo, all the prin- 
ces sat there, even Elishama the scribe, and De- 
laiah the son of Shemaiah, and Einatlian the .son 
of Achbor, and Gcmiiriah the son of Sliaphan, 
and Zedekiah the son of Hananiiili, and all the 
princes. 

13 Then Michaiah declared unto them all the 
u ords that he had hea:d, when Baruch read the 
book in the eais of the people. 

14 Therefore all the princes sent Jehudi the 
son of Nethaniah, the son of Shelemiah, the son 
of Cushi, unto Baruch, saying, Take in thine haiid 
the roil wherein thou hast read in the ears of tlie 
people, and come. * So Baruch the son of Neriah 
took the roll in his hand, and came unto them. 

15 And they said unto him, Sit donn now, 
and read it in our eais. So Banich read it in 
their ears. 

IG Now it came to past, when they had heard 
'.'i the words, "they were afraid both one and 
oLher, and said unto Buruch, We will surely tell 
the king of all these words, 

17 And they asked Biuiuh, saying, Tell us 
now, How didst thou a\ rite all these words at his 
moutli ? 

18 Then Banich answered them. He pro-

20 Ti And they went in to the king into the

king, and in the ears of all the princfs which

The kiTip cameih it to be burned. 

22 Now the king sat in ■= the winter-house in 
•* the ninth month : and there ivas a Jirc on the 
hearth burning before him. 

23 And it came to pass, that when Jehudi Lid 3 
read diree or four leaves, he cut it with the pen- 
knife, and cast it into the fire tliat 'a:, as on the 
hearth, until all the roll was consumed in the fire 
that was on the hearth. 

24 "^ Yet they were not afi^id, ^ nor rent thitir , .ve

vants that heard all these words. * » ?i"^ 

25 Nevertheless « Elnathan and Delaiah and eveneir. 
Gemariah had made intercession to the king diat 
he would not bum the roil : *'but he would not hchap.;.-. 
hear them. "'"• 

26 But the king commanded Jerahmeel the son 
I! of Hammelech, and Seraiah the son of Azriel. tor, 
and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel, to take Banich ^'^'s'i 
the scribe and Jeremiah tlie prophet: but the 
Lord hid them. 

27 % Then the word of the Lor d came to Je- «. mj. 
remiah, ' after that the king had burned the roll, ivcneas. 
and the w;ords which Baruch wrote "^ at the mouth k ver« is. 
of Jeremiali, saying, 

28 Take thee 'again another roll, and ^\•rite in

30 I'herefore thus saith the Lo r d of Jehoiakim

of the Lord, which he spake f by the prophet 
Jeremiah. 

3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son 
of Shelemiah and "= Zephaniah the son of Maa- 
seiah the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 
^ Pray now mito the Lord our God for us. 

4 Now Jeremiali came in and M'ent out a- 
mong the people : for they had not put him into 
prison. 

5 ^ Then Pharaoh's ai-my was come forth oiit 
of Egypt, *' and when the Chaldeans that besieged 
Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they departed 
from Jerusalem. 

6 U Then came the word of the Lord unto 
the prophet Jeremiah, saying, 

7 Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel ; 
Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent 
you unto me to enquire of me ; Behold, Plia- 
raoh's anny, \\-hich is come forth to help you, 
shall return to Egypt into their o\\ n land. _ 

8 s And the Chaldeans shall come again, and 
fight against this city, and tcike it, and bum it 
with fire. 

9 Thus saith the Lord ; Deceive not j- j'our- 
selves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart 
from us : for they shall not depart. 

10 *" For though ye had smitten the whole army 
of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there 
remained but f M^ounded men among them, yet 
should they rise up every man in his tent, and 
bum this city with fire. 

1 1 TI ' And it came to pass, that when the army 
of the Chaldeans was t broken up from Jerusa- 
lem for fear of Pharaoh's aimj^ 

12 Then Jeremiali went foitli out of Jemsa- 
lem to go into the land of Benjamin, j| to sepa- 
rate himself thence in the midst of the people. 

13 And when he w as in the gate of Benjamin, 
a captain of the wai^d "vjos there, whose name 
•was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Ha- 
naniah ; and he took Jeremiaii tlie prophet, say- 
ing, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans. 

14 Then said Jeremiah, ^ It is t false ; I fall not 
away to the Chaldeans. But he hearkened not 
to him : so Irijah took Jeremiah, and brought him 
to the princes. 

15 Wherefore the ^ princes Vv-ere wroth with 
Jeremiah ; "' and smote him, and put him in pri- 
son in the house of Jonathan the scribe : for they 
had made that the prison. 

16 TI When Jeremiah was entered into the dun- 
geon, and into the || cabins, and Jeremiah had re- 
mained there many days ; 

17 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and took him 
out : and the king asked him secretly in his house, 
and said. Is there any word from the Lord ? 
And Jeremiah said, There is : "^ for, said he, thou 
shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of 
Babylon. 

18 Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zede- 
kiah, What have I ofFeuded against thee, or a- 
gainst thy servants, or against this people, that 
ye have put me in prison ? 

19 Where are now your prophets ° which pro- 
phesied unto vou, saying, The king of Baby-

to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest 

I die there. 

21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded that 
they should commit Jeremiah into ^ the court of p chap, 
the prison, and that they should give him daily a 
piece of bread out of the baker's sti-eet, *i until all 
the bread in tlie city were spent. Thus Jeremiah ®* *" **• 
remained in the court of the prison. 

CHAP. XXXVIII. 
1 Jeremiah, by a false suggestion,, is put into the 
dungeon of malchiah, 1 Ebed-melech, by suit,, 
getteth him some enlargement. 14 Upon secret 
conference he counselleth the king, by yielding to 
sa'^ce his life. 24 By the ki?ig''s i'nstructions he 
concealeth the conference from the princes. 

THEN Shephatiah the son of Mattan, and 
Gedaliah the son of Pashur, and "" Jucal the 
son of Shelemiah, and *" Pashur the son of Mal- 
cliiah, ^ beard the words that Jeremiah had spo- 
ken unto all the people, saying, 

2 ^ Thus saith the Lord, He that remaineth dchap. 
in this city shall die by the sword, by tlie famine, 
and by the pestilence : but he that goeth forth to 
the Chaldeans shall live ; for he shall have his life 
for a prey, and shall live. 

3 Thus saith the Lord, ^ This city shall surely 
be given into the liand of the king of Babylon's 
anhy, which shall take it. 

4 Therefore the princes said unto the king, 
We beseech thee, ^let this man be put to deatli : 
for thus he weakeneth the hands of the men of 
war that remain in tliis cit5', and the hands of all 
the people, in speaking such words unto them : 
for this man seeketh not the f welfare of this peo- 
ple, but the hurt. 

5 Then Zedekiah the king said. Behold, he is 
in your hand : for the king is not he that can do 
any thing against you. 

6 Then took they Jeremiah, s and cast him in- 
to the dungeon of Malchiah the son || of Hamme- 
lech, that was in the court of the prison : and diey °^' '^* ^"'^ 
let down Jeremiah w ith cords. And in the dun- 
geon there was no \\ater, but mire : so Jeremiah 

sunk in the ^ mire. h seePs.ic; 

7 f[ Now when '•■ Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, 2- =^69.2.

8 Ebed-melech went foith out of the king's

9 My lord the king, these men hzixe done e^'il ^ 
in all 'that they have done to Jeremiali the pro- 
phet, whom tHey have cast into the dungeon ; and 
t he is like to die for hunger in the place w here 
he is : * for there is no more bread in. the city. . , ^^ 

10 Then the king commanded Ebed-melech ss.e'^

12 And l',!)ed-mclech the Ethiojnan said unto 
Jeremiah, Put now i/wse okl east elouts and rot- 
ten ra.'js under thine " arm-hoks under the eords. 
And .(ercniiah did so. 

13 "So t'ney drew up Jeremiali w ith cords, and 
took him up out of the dungeon : p and Jcremiidi 
remained in the court of the jjrison. 

14 ^i TIku Zedekiah tlie king sent, and took 
Jeremiah the prophet unto hini into die 1| third 
entry that is in the liouse of the Lorvii : and the 
king said unto Jeremiali, ■> I w ill ask thee a tiling; 
liide nodiing from me. 

15 Then Jeremiah said unto Zedekiah, If I de- 
clare /'/ unto thee, a\ ilt thou not surely put me to 
death ? and if I gi\ e thee counsel, uilt Uiou not 
hearken unto me '? 

16 So Zedekiah the king s^vare secretly unto 
Jeremiah, saying, Js the Lord liveth, that made I 
us ■■ this soul, I will not put thee to death, neither 
will I give thee into the hand of these men that 
seek thy lile. 

17 I'iien said Jeremiah imto Zedekiah, Thus 
sitidi tlic Lord, the God of hosts, the God of 
Israel ; ' If thou wilt assin-edlv go foith unto the 
king of Babylon's princes, then thy soul shall 
li\e, and this city shdl not be burned whh fire ; 
and thou shalt live, and thine house : 

18 But if thou wilt not go foith to the king of 
Babylon's princes, dien shall this city be given 
into the hand of the Cluildeans, and they shall 
buin it with fire, * and thou shalt not escape out 
(jf their hand. 

19 And Zedekiah die king said unto Jeremiah, 
I am afraid of the Jews diat are fallen to the Chal- 
deans, lest they deliver me into their liand, and 
° they mock me. 

20 But Jeremiali said, They shall not deliver 
f//ee. Obey, I beseech thee, the voice of the 
Lord, which I speak unto thee : so it shall be 
well unto thee, and thy soul shall li\e. 

21 But if tiiou refuse to go fordi, diis Is the 
\vord tkil the Lord iiath she\sed me : 

22 And, behold, all die women that are left in

men shall say, f Thy friends have set thee on, and 
have prevailed against thee : thy feet are sunk in 
die mire, i///r/diey iU'e turned away back. 

23 So they shall bring out all thy wives and 
y thy children to the ChaJdeans : ' and thou shalt 
not escape out (^f their hand, but sb.alt l)e Uikcn

unto thee : ««"•

27 Then came all the princes unto Jeremiah, 
and asked him : and he told diem aceoiding to 
all these words that the king h.itl commanded. 
So t they left oft' speaking w ith him ; for the mat- ^,,J'%^.„,

THE word which came to Jeremiah from the 
Lord, '^ after that Nebuzaj-adan the cap-

when he liad taken him being bound in || chains 
among all that w^x^ carried av.ay captive of Je-

2 And the captain of the guard took Jeremiali, 
and ''said unto him, The Lord thy God hath 

, pronounced this e\'il upon this place. 

3 Now the Lord h.ath brought /V, and done 
according as he hath said: " because j'e have sin-

4 And now, behold, I loose tiiee this day from

kam the son of Shaphan, ^Avhom the king of

go wheresoever it seemeth convenient unto tliee

Chaldeans that were found there, and tlie •* men 
of u ar. 

4 And it came to pass the second day after he 
l"uid slain Gedaliah, ' and no man kne\\' //, 

5 That there came ceitaiu from Shechcm, 
f O n Shiloh, and from Samaria, even fcnirscore 
men, having their iKtuds shaven, and their 
clothes rent, and havinc; "^cut themscKes, witli 
offerings ancl incense in their hand, to bring t/iem 
tvO ^the house of the Lord. 

Qt And Ishmael the son of Netlianiiili went 
forth from Mizpah to meet them, f Meeping all 
along as he uent : and it came to pass, as he met 
them, he said unto them, ^ Come to Gedaliah 
the son of Ahikam. 

7 And it was so, m hen they came into the 
midst of the city, mat Ishmael the son of Ne- 
thaniah slew them, ' and cast them into the midst 
of the pit, he, and the men that -were with him. 

^ But ten men ^\ ere found among them that 
said unto Ishmael, Slay us not : for we ha\'c 
^ treasures in the field, of wheat, and of barley, 
and of oil, and of honey. So he forbarc, and 
slew them not among their brethren. 

9 No^v• the pit \'\ herein Ishmael had cast all 
the dead bodies of the men, w hom lie had slain 
II t because of Gedaliah, xvas it ' w hich Asa the 
king had made for feiu" of Baasha king of Israel : 
and Ishmael the son of Nethaniah filled it with 
t/icm that v.-eie slain. 

10 Then Ishmael caiTied a\^•ay capti\e all the 
residue of the people that vcere in Mizpali, ""even 
the king's daughters, and all the people that re- 
mained in Mizpah, " \\ hom Nebuziu-adan the 
(!aptai!i of the giuud had committed to Gedafuili 
the son of Ahikam : and Ishmael the son of Ne- 
thaniah carried them aw ay captise, and departed 
'* to go over to the Ammonites. 

11 1[ But when Johanan the son of Kareah, 
and all the ^ captains of the forces that ivere w ith 
him, heaixl of all the e\ il that Ishmael the son of 
Nethaniah kid done, 

12 Then they took all the men, and went to 
fight ^\ ith Ishmael the son of Netlianiah, and 
found him by the *> great ^\■aters that are in 
Gibeon. 

13 Now it came to pass, that when all the 
people which iir/r with Ishmael sawJo'iananthe 
son of Kareah, and all die captains of the ff)rces 
that '■jcere with him, then they were glad. 

14 So all the people *■ that Ishmael had carried 
away captive from IMizpah east about and re- 
turned, and went unto Johanan the son of 
Kai-eah. 

15 But Ishmael the .son of Nethaniah escaped 
from Jcjhanan w ith eight men, ;uid * w ent to the 
Ammonites. 

16 Then t(;ok Johanan the son of Kareah, arid 
all the captains of tlx* forces tliat ivcrc with him, 
^l the lenuiant of tlie peoi)le whom he had reco- 
vered from Ishmael the son of Nethaniah, from 
Mizpah, after 'Jict he had slain Gedaiiali tlic son 
of Ahik.im, e'ticn mijjhty men of war, and the 



Jofianan's request to Jeremiahs 
women, and the children, and the eunuchs, 
whom he had brought again from * Gibeon : 

17 And they dcpiuted, and dwelt in die habi- 
tation of "Chimham, \vhich is by Betlulchcm, 
to go to enter iiito Kgyin, 

18 Because of the Chaldeans: for they were 
afraid of them, because Ishniix-l the son of Ne- 
thaniah had slain Gedaliah the son of Ahikam, 
"whom the king of Babjlon made governor in 
the laud. 

CHAP. XLII. 
1 Johanan des/reth Jeremiah to enquire of God. 
promising obedience to his wiU : 7 Jeremiah as- 
sureth him of safety in Judea, \2 and destruction 
in Egypt. 19 He reproveth their hypocrisy., in 
requiring of t/ie Lord that ivhich they meant not. 

T'HEN all the ''captains of tlie ib-.'.es, and 
^ Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah 
the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the 
least even unto the greatest, came near, 

2 And said unto Jeremiah the prophet, || Let, 
we beseech thee, our supplication be accepted 
before thee, 'and pray for us unto the Lord 
thy God, even tor all tliis remnant ; (for ^^ e 
are left but '^a i^w of many, as thine eyes do 
behold us 

3 That the Lord thy God may shew us * the 
way ^^herein we may walk, and the tiling that 
we may do. 

4 Then Jeremiah die prophet said imto them, 
I have heard vou ; behold, I w ill pray unto the 
LoRn your God according to your words ; arid 
it shall come to pass, t/iat *' %\ hatsoe\ er thing the 
Lord shall answer you, I will declare it unto 
you ; ^ I will keep nothing back from you. 

5 Then they said to Jeremiiili, The Lord be 
a true and faithful '^^ witness between us, if we do 
not even according to iill things for the which the 
Lord thy God shall send thee to us. 

6 Whether it be good, or \\ hether it be e\ il, 
we will obey tlie voice? of the Lord our God, 
to w hom we send thee ; ' that it may be well 
with us, when we obey the voice of the Lord 
our God. 

7 And it came to pass after ten days, that die 
word of die Lord came unto. Jeremi:ih. 

8 Then called he '' JolKUian die son of Kareah, 
and all die captains of the forces which ivere 
with him, and all the people, from the least even 
to the greatest, 

9 And said unto them, Thus said) the Lord,

sent your supplication before hmi ; 

10 If ve will still abide in diis land, 'dien will

15 And now, therefore, heai* the word of the 
Lord, ye remnant of Judah; Thus saith the 
Lord of hosts, the God of Israel ; ^ If ye wholly 
"" set your faces to enter into EgjTJt, and go to 
sojourn there ; 

16 Then it shall come to pass, ^ that the sword, 
\A"hlch ye feared, shall o^eitake you there in the

afraid, t shall follow close after you there in 
Egypt ; and there j-e shall die. 

17 1 So shall it be with all the men that set theu* 
faces to go into Egjpt to sojourn there ; * they 
shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the 
pestilence : and " none of them shall remain or 
escape from the evil that I will bring upon tliem. 

18 For thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God 
of Israel ; " As mine anger and my fury hath been 
poured forth upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem ; 
so shall my fmy be poured forth upon j^ou, when 
ye shall enter into Eg>-pt : ^ and 3'e shall be an ex- 
ecration, and an astonishment, and a cui'se, and a 
reproach; and ye shall see this place no more. 

19 Ti The Lord hath said concerning you. Ore 
remnant of Judah ; Go ye not into Eg\-pt : know 
certainly that I have t adnaonished you this day. 

20 For II ye dissembled in your heails, ^ v.hen 
ye sent me unto the Lord your God, saying. 
Pray for us unto the Lord our God; and ac- 
cording mito all that the Lord our God shall 
say, so declare unto us, and wq "will do it. 

21 And now I have this day declai'ed it to you ; 
but ye have ^ not obeyed the ^'oice of the Lord 
your God, nor any thing for the v.hich he hath 
sent me unto you. 

_ 22 Now therefore know certainly that ye ^ shall 
die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pes-

22 So that the Lord could no longer bear, 
because of the evil of your doings, and because 
of the abominations which ye have committed ; 
therefore is jour land a *^ desolation, and an asto- [,^,8^-3"

at this day. 

23 ** Because ye have burned incense, and be- ^,^,^1 '

queen of heaven, and to pour out drink-offerings 
unto her : ye will surely accomplisli your vows, 
and surely perform your vows. 

26 Therefore, hear ye die word of the Lord, 
all Judah that dwell in die land of Egypt ; Be-

the Lord, "that my name shall no more beoE2ck.2o

27 For \\as not Israel a derision unto thee ? 
Avas he found ''among thieves? for since thou 
spakest of him, thou || skippedst for joy. 

28 O ye tiiat dwell in Moab, leave the cities, 
' and dnell in the rock, and be like the Ao\e 
thai ^ maketh her n-est in the sides of the hole's 
mouth. 

29 W'e have heard the ' pride of Moab, (he 
is exceedins^- proud) liis loftiness, and his arro- 
gancy, and his pride, and the haughtiness of 
his heart. 

30 I know his wrath, saith the Lord ; but it 
si'uill not be so ; "' ||his lies shall not so effect it. 

31 Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I ■will 
cr\- out for all Moab ; mine heart shall mourn for 
tlie men " of Kir-heres. 

32 ° O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for thee 
o'^sj"''"' '^'*"i''l'» the ^^■eeping of Jazer: thj' plants are gone 
3, 9^' ' over the sea, they reach e~oen to the sea of Jazer : 

the spoiler is fallen upon thy simimer-fruits and 
upon thy a intage. 

33 And '".joy and gladness is taken from the 
plentiful field, and from the land of Moab ; and 
I \ya\q caused v.ine to fail fiom the wine-presses : 
none shall tread A\ith shouting; their shouting 
s/iall be no shouting. 

34 From the cry of "iHeshbon et^eii unto Elea- 
leh, and even unto Jahaz, ha^'e thej' uttered their 
^'oice, from ""Zoar e'ven unto Horonaim, as an 
heifer of three years old; for the waters also of 
Nimrim shall be f desolate. 

35 Moreover, I will cause to cease in Moab, 
saith the Lord, him that offereth 'in the 
high places, and him that burneth incense to 
his gods. 

36 Therefore * mine heart shall sound for Moab 
like pipes, and mine heart shall sound like pipes 
for the men of Kir-heres : because the riches 
that he hath gotten are perished. 

37 For "eveiy head shall be bald, and every 
beai'd f clipped : upon all the hands shall be cut- 

^iminished. tings, and upon the loins sackcloth. 

38 There shall be lamentation generally upon 
all the house-tops of Moab, and in the streets 
thereof: for I have broken Moab ''like a vessel 
wherein is no pleasure, saith the Lord. 

39 They shall howl, saying, Hoav is it broken 
tHeb.wc*. dowTi! how hath Moab turned the fback with 
T_^see Ver. shamc ! SO shall Moab be a ^ derision and a dis- 
maying to all them about him. 

40 lor thus saith the Lord; Behold, ''he 
28°«.'' shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings 
chap.49.22. over Moab. 

41 II Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds 
ai-e surprised, and the * mighty men's heaits in 
Moab at that day shall be as the heave of a '' wo- 
man in her pangs. 

42 And Moab shall be destroyed from being a 
people, because he hath magnified /zmz.y^^against 
the Lord. 

43 " Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be 
upon thee, O inhabitant of Moab, saith the 
Lord.

ourselves to the Lord in a pei-petual covenant 
that shall not be forgotten. 

6 Mv people hath been '^ lost sheep : their shep- 
herds have caused them to go astray, they haA-e 
turned them away on the mountains : they ha-s'C 
gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten 
their f re.sting-place. 

7 All that found them ha\e devoured them :

8 ^ Rtmcve out of the midst of Babylon, and

against Babylon ""an assembly of great nations 
from the north countiy: and tliey shall set them- 
selves in array against her ; from thence she shall 
be taken : their arrows shall be as of a mighty 
II expert man ; none shall return in vain. 

10 And Chaldea .shall be a spoil : all that spoil 
her shall be satisfied, saith the Lord. 

11 "Because ye were glad, because ye re- 
joiced, O ye destroyers of mine heritage, be- 
cause ye are grown f fat °as die heifer at grass, 
and bellow as bulls ; 

12 Your mother shall be sore confounded; she 
that bare you shall be ashamed: behold, the 
hindermost of the nations shall be a wilderness, 
a diy l^nd, and a desert. 

13 Because of the wrath of the Lord it shall 
not be inhabited, ■" but it shall be \\holly deso-

astoni'^hed, and hiss at all her plagues. 

14 ''Put yourselves in array against Babylon

at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned 
against the Lord. 

15 Shout against her round about : * she hath 
gi\en her hand : her foundations are fallen, her 
walls are thrown down : for it is the vengeance 
of the Lord : take vengeance upon her; as she 
hath done, do unto her. 

16 Cut off the sower fi;om Babylon, and him

18 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
tlie God of Israel; Behold, I \\ill punish the 
king of Babylon and his land, as I have punished

19 And I will bring Israel again to his habi-,

came out of the north, a great cloud, and a fire

and out of the midst thereof as the colour of 
amber, out of the midst of the fire. 

5 Also out of the midst thereof ca?ne the like- 
ness ^ of four living creatures. And this was their 
apperaance ; " they had the likeness of a man. 

6 And every one had four faces, and eveiy one 
had four wings. 

7 And their feet were f straight feet ; and the 
sole of their feet was like the sole of a calf's 
foot : and they spai'klcd ^like the colour of bur- 
ni.shed brass. 

8 And they had ^ the hands of a man under 
their wings on dieir four sides ; and they four 
had their faces and their wings. 

9 Their wings were joined one to another; 
they turned not when they went; they went 
every one straight forward. 

10 As for the likeness of their faces, they four 
had the face ''of a man, and die face of a lion, 
on the right side : and they four had the face of 
an ox on the left side ; they four also had the face 
of an eagle. 



11 Thus ivere their faces: and their v,angs Before

The rule of prophecy. CHAP 

™ cmd I sat where they sat, and remained there 
astonished among them seven days. 

16 And it came to pass at the end of seven 
days, that the word of the Lord came unto me, 
saying, 

17 " Son of man, I have made thee a ° watch- 
man unto the house of Israel : therefore hear the 
A'.ord at my mouth, and give them warning from 
me. 

18 AMien I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt 
surely die ; and thou givest him not warning, nor 
speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked 
way, to save his life ; the same wicked man shall 
die in his iniquity ; ^but his blood will I require 
at thine hand. 

19 Yet if tliou warn the wicked, and he turn 
not from his A\-ickedness, nor from his \A'icked 
way, he shall die in his iniquity ; but thou hast 
delnered th.y soul. 

20 Again, When a ^ righteous man doth turn 
from his t righteousness, and commit iniquity, 
and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shdl 
die : because thou hast not given him warning, 
he shidl die in his sin, and his righteousness which 
he hath done shall not be remembered ; but his 
blood will I require at thine hand. 

21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man^ 
tliat the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, 
he shall surely live, because he is warned ; "" also 
tliou hast delivered thy soul. 

22 TF ^ And the hand of the Lord \\z.% there 
upon me ; and he said unto me. Arise, go forth 
into * the plain, and I will there talk with thee. 

23 Then I arose, and \\ent forth into the plain : 
and, behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, 
as the glory ^hich I " saw by the river of Che- 
bar : and I fell on my face. 

24 " Then the spirit entered into me, and set 
me upon my feet, and spake with me, and said 
unto me, Go, shut thyself Avithin thine house. 

25 But thou, O son of man, behold, ^ they 
shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind tliee 
AA-ith them, and thou shalt not go out among 
them : 

26 And I Avill make thy tongue cleave to the 
roof of thy mouth, ' that thou shalt be dumb, and 
slialt not be to them t a reprover : for they are a 
rebellious house. 

27 But Avhen I .speak Avith thee, * I Avill open 
thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, "^ Thus 
saith the Lord God ; He that heareth, let him 
hear ; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear : for 
they are a rebellious house. 

CHAP. IV. 
1 Under the type of a siege, is shexved the time 
from the defection of Jeroboam to the captivity. 
9 By the provision of t/ie siege is shelved the 
har chess of the famine. 

THOU i\lso, ^ son of man, take thee a tile, and 
lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the 
^ city, even Jerusalem : 

2 And lay siege against it, and build a fort 
against it, and cast a mount against it ; set the 
camp also against it, and set g battering rams 
against it round about. 



IV. V. T/ie type of a sitge. 

3 INIcreover take thou unto thee || an iron pan, 
and set it for a a\ all of iron betA\een thee and the 
city : and set thy lace against it, and it shall be 
besieged, and'thou shalt lay siege against it. •= This 
shad be a sign to the house of Israel. 

4 Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the 
iniquity of the house of Israel upon it : according 
to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon 
it, thou shalt bear their iniquitj-. 

5 For I have laid upon thee the years of their 
iniquity; according to the number of the days, 
thiee hundred and ninety days : ^ so shalt thou 
bear the iniquity of the house of Israel. 

6 And Avhen thou hast accomplished them, lie 
again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear tlie 
iniquity of the house of Judah forty days : I have 
appointed thee f each day for a year. 

7 Therefore thou shalt set thy face tOAA'ard the 
siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be unco- 
vered, and thou shalt prophesy against it. 

8 And, behold, ^. I Avill lay bands upon thee, 
and thou shalt not turn tliee f from one side to 
another, till thou hast ended die days of thy 
^ siege. 

9 ^ Take thou also unto thee Avheat, and 
bai-ley, and beans, and lentiles, imd millet, and 
II fitches ; and put them in one vessel, and make 
thee bread thereof, according to the number of 
the days that tiiou shalt lie upon thy side, tliree 
hundred and ninety days slialt thou eat tliereof. 

10 And thy meat A\hich thou shalt eat shall be 
^ by AA-eight, tAventy shekels a day : fi-om time to 
time shalt thou eat it. 

1 1 Thou shalt drink also Avater by '' measure, 
the sixth part of an hin : from time to time shalt 
thou drink. 

12 And thou shalt eat it as bai'ley cakes, and 
thou shalt bake it Avith dung that cometh out of 
man, in their sight. 

13 And the Lord said. Even thus shall the 
children of Israel eat their ' defiled bread among 
the Gentiles, Avhither I Avill di'ive them. 

14 Then said I, Ah, Lord God ! behold, ^mv 
soul hath not been polluted : for from my youth 
up even till noAV have I nof eaten of that ^ which 
dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces ; neither came 
there "" abominable flesh into my mouth. 

15 Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given 
thee coAv's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt 
prepare thy bread therewith. 

16 MoreoA^er, he said unto me. Son of man, be- 
hold, I A\ill break the " staft" of bread in Jerusalem : 
and they shall eat bread by A\eight, and Avith cai-e ; 
and they shall drink Avater by measure, and AA'ith 
astonishment : 

17 That they may want bread and A\'ater, and 
be astonied one Avith another, ° and consume 
aA\'ay for their iniquity.

7 Therefore thus saith die Lord God ; Be-

8 Tlierefijie thus saidi the Lord God ; Be-

9 And I will do in dice ^ diat which I have not

10 Therefore the fathers ^ shall eat the sons in

coals of fire from between the cherubims, ^ and 
scatter them over the city. And he went in in

3 Now the clierubims stood on the right side 
of the house, when the man went in ; and the 
cloud filled the inner court. 

4 Then the glory of the Lord t went up 
from the cherub, aitd stood ^ over the threshold 
of the house ; and the house was filled with the 
cloud, and the court was full of the brightness 
of the Lord's glory. 

5 And the *" sound of the cherubims' wings 
was heard even to the outer court, ^ as the voice 
of the Almighty God when he speaketh. 

6 And it came to pass, ^ that when he had 
commanded the man clothed with linen, saying, 
Take fire from between the wheels, from be- 
tween the cherubims ; then he went in, and 
stood beside the wheels. 

7 H And one cherub t stretched forth his hand 
fi-om betv,een the cherubims unto the fire that 
was between the cherubims, and took thereof, 
and put it into the hands o{ him that \vas clothed 
with linen : who took it, and went out. 

8 II And there appeared in the cherubims ' the 
form of a man's hand under their wings. 

9 And ^vhen I looked, ^ behold, the four wheels 
by the cherubims, one wheel by one cherub, 
and another wheel by another cherub : and the 
appearance of the wheels voas as the colour of a 
' beryl-stone. 

id And as for their appearances, they four 
had one likeness, as if a wheel had been in the 
midst of a wheel. 

11 m When they went, they went upon their 
four sides ; they turned not as they went, but 
to the place whither the head looked they fol- 
lowed it ; they turned not as they went. _ 

12 And their whole t body, and their backs, 
and their hands, and their wings, " and the 
wheels, vocre full of eyes round about, even the 
wheels that they four had.

and mounted up from the earth in my sight : 
when they went out, the wheels also ivere beside 
them ; and every one stood at the door of the 
east gate of the Lord's house; and the glory 
of the God of Israel was over them above. 

20 " This is the living creature that I saw un-

and I knew that diey ivere the cherubims,

the manners of the heathen that are round 
about you. 

13 If And it came to pass, when I prophesied, 
that '" Pclatiah the son of Benaiah died. " Then 
fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud 
voice, and said, Ah Lord God ! wilt thou make 
a full end of the remnant of Israel ? 

14 Agiiin the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

15 Son of man, thy brethren, en}en thy bre- 
thren, the men of thy kindred, and all the 
house of Israel wholly, arc they unto \\ horn the 
inhabitants of Jerusalem have said. Get ye lar 
from the Lord : unto us is this land given in 
possession. 

16 Therefore say. Thus saith the Lord God ; 
Although I have °cast them far oft" among the 
heathen, and alihough I have scattered tliem 
among the coimtries, yet \\ ill I be to them ^ as 
a little sanctuary in the countries, where they 
shall come. 

17 Therefore say, Thus saith die Lord God ; 
*» I will even gather you from the people, a'ld as- 
semble you out of the countries ^\ here ye have 
been scattered, and I will gi^■e you the land of 
Israel. 

18 And they shall come thither, "■ and they shall 
take away all the detestable things thereof, and 
all the abominations thereof, from thence. 

19 And ' 1 ^\ill give them one heart, and I will 
put a new spirit within you ; and I will take 'the 
stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them 
an heart of flesh : 

20 That they may walk in my statutes, and 
keep mine ordinances, and do them : "and they 
shall be my people, and I will be their God. 

21 But as for tbcm whose heart walketh after 
the heart of dieir detestable things, and their 
abominations, =' I will recompense their way up- 
on their own heads, saith the Lord Gon. 

22 > Then did the cherubims lift up their 
w ings, and the wlieels beside them ; and the 
glory of the God of Israel ivas over them above. 

23 And "= the glory of the Loud went up from 
the midst of the city, and stood * upon the moun- 
tain which is on ''the east side of the city. 

24 U Afterw ards the spirit took me up, and 
brought me in vision by the Spirit of God into 
Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision 
that I had seen went up from me. 

25 Then I spake unto them of the captivity 
all the things that the Lor d had shewed me.

day in their sight, as stuff" for remo\ing: and 
ihou shalt go forth at even in their sight, t as 
they tiiat go ibrth into captivity. 

5 t Dig thou through the wall in their sight, 
and carry out thereby. 

6 In their sight shalt thou bear it upon thy 
shoulders, and carry it forth in the twilight : 
thou shalt cover thy fiice, that thou see not the 
ground : for I ha^•e set thee 'for a sign unto the 
house of Israel. 

7 And I did so as I was commanded : I 
brought forth my stuff" by day, as stuff" for cap- 
tivity, and in the even I t digged through the 
wall with mine hand ; I brought it forth in the 
twilight, arid I bare it upon my shoulder in their 
sight. 

8 IF And in the morning ' came the word of the 
Lord unto me, saying, 

9 Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, 
the rebellious house, said unto thee, ^VV'hat 
doest thou ? 

10 Sa^' thou unto diem, Thus saith the Lord 
God ; ^ This burden conccrneth the prince in Je- 
rusalem, and all the house of Israel that are 
among them. 

1 1 Say, '" I am jour sign : like as I have done, 
so shall it be done unto them : t they shall re- 
move and go into captivity. 

12 And 'the prince that /.y among them shall 
bear upon his shoulder in the twilight, and shall 
go forth : they shall dig through the wall to carry 
out thereby : he shall cover his face, that he see 
not the ground with his eyes. 

13 My ''net al.so will I spread upon him, and 
he shall be taken in my snare : and I w ill bring 
him to Babylon /othe land of the Chaldeans, yet 
shall he not see it, though he shall die there. 

14 ' And I will scatter toward every wind all 
that arc about him, to help him, and all his bands; 
and I will draw out the sword after them. 

15 "' And they shall know that I am the Lor d, 
when I shiill scatter them among the nations, and 
disperse them in the countries. 

16 But I will leave T a few men of them from 
the sword, from the famine, and from the pesti- 
lence ; that they may declare all tlieir abomina- 
tions among the heathen whither they come ; 
and they shall know that I am the Lord. 

17 H Moreover, the word of the i..ord came to 
me, saying, 

18 Son of man, "eat thy bread w ith quaking, 
and drink thy water with trembling and with 
carefulness ; 

19 And say unto the people of the land, Thus 
saith the Lord God of the inhabitants of Jerusa- 
lem, and of the land of Israel; They shall eat 
their bread with carefulness, and drink their wa- 
ter with astonishment, that her land may be "de- 
solate from t all that is therein, because of the 
violence of all them diat dwell therein.

they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel ; 
but say unto them, ' The days are at hand, and

the house of Israel that setteth up his idols in his 
heart, and pntteth tiic stumbling-block of his ini- 

fuity before his face, and cometh to the prophet -, 
the Lord will answer him that cometh accord- 
ing to the multitude of his idols ; 

5 That I may take the house of Israel in their 
own heait, because they are all estranged from 
me through their idols.

cvcr.3,4. idoLs in his heart, and putteth <^ the stumbling-

y'And if the prophet be deceived when he 
hath spoken a thing, I the Lord '" have deceived 
that prophet, and I will stretch out my hand up- 
on him, and will destroy him from the midst of 
my people Israel, 

10 And they shall bear the punishment of their 
iniquity : the punishment of the prophet shall 
be even as the punishment of him that seeketh 
unto him ; 

1 1 That the house of Israel may go ' no more 
astray from me, neither be polluted any more 
with all their transgressions ; '' but that they may 
be my people, and I may be their God, saith the

2 Son 
a ^ parable unto the house of Israel ; 

3 And say, Thus saith the Lord God, " A 
great eagle with great wings, long-vvinged, full 
of feathers, which had f diverse colours, came 
unto Lebanon, '^ and took the highest branch of 
the cedar : 

4 He cropped off" the top of his young twigs, 
and carried it into a land of ti<aifick ; he set it in 
a cit>- of m.erchants. 

5 He took also of the seed of the land, and 
t planted it in " a fiuitful field ; he placed it bj* 
great waters, and set it ^ as a. willoA^--tree. 

6 And it grew, and became a spreading vine 
of s low stature, whose branches turned to\vaid 
him, and the roots thereof were under him : 
so it became a vine, and brought forth branches, 
and shot forth sprigs. 

7 There was also another great eagle with 
gi'eat wings and many feathers : and, behold, '^this 
vine did bend her roots toAvard him, and shot 
forth her branches towai'd him, that he might 
water it by the furrows of her plantation. 

8 It was planted in a good f soil by great 
waters, that it might bring forth_ branches, and 
that it might bear fruit, that it might be a 
goodly vine. 

9 Say thou. Thus saith the Lord God, Shall 
it prosper "? ' shall he not pull up the roots thereof, 
and cut off the fruit thereof, that it wither '? it 
shall wither in all the lea\"es of her spring, even 
without gicat power or many people to pluck 
it up by the roots thereof. 

IC Yea, behoid, being planted, shall it pros- 
per "? ^ shall it not utterly wither, when the east 
wind toucheth it ? it shdl wither in the furrows 
Avhere it gTe\v. 

11 ^ Moreover, the word of the Lord came 
unto me, saying, 

12 Sa5' now to the ' rebellious house, Know ye 
not ^\hat these things mean ? tell them. Behold, 
" the king of Eabylo;. is come to Jcrusdem," and 
hath taken ihe king thereof, and the princes 
thereof, and led them with him to Babylon ; 

13 And hath taken of the king's seed, and 
made a covenant with r.im, and hath f tal:en an 
oath of him : he hath also taken the mighty of 
the land : 

14 That tlie kingdom might be base, that it 
might not lift itscif up, f but that by keeping of 
his covenant i^ might stand. 

15 But he ° rebelled against him in sending his 
ambassadors into Egypt, that thej' might gi\e 
him horses and much people, p Shall he prosper ? 
shall he escape that doedi such things ? or shall 
he break the covenant, and be deli\'ered ? 

\6'^As\ live, saith the Lord God, surel}- in 
the place 'where the king divelleth that made him 
king, Mhose oath he despised, and whose cove- 
nant he brake, ei:en witli him in the midst of 
Babylon he shall die.

much vexed. 

6 Be hold, the princes of Israel, every one were 
in thcc to their i power to .slud blo(.d. 

7 In thee have they .set liirht by father and 
mother : in the niidst of thcc have they dcidt by 
II oppression \v\i\\ the stranger : in thee have they 
vexed the fatherless and the widow. 

B ''Thou hast despised mine lioh' things, and 
hast nrofaiied m^- sabbaths. 

9 In thee are t ii^t'"' that earn- taJcs to shed 
blood : and in thee they eat upon the monntains : 
in the midst of thee they conimit le^vd^.ess. 

10 In ihee ha^■e tiiey 'discovered their fathers' 
nakedness : in thee have they humbled her that 
was ^set apart for pollution. 

11 And Ij one hath committed abomination 
with his neighbour's * wife ; and Ij another hath 
;| lewdly deliled his daughter-in-law; and ano- 
ther in thee hath humbled his ''sister, his fa- 
ther's daughter. 

12 In thee have'they taken gifts to shed blood ; 
thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast 
greedily gained of thy neighbours by extoition, 
and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord Cjod. 

13 ^Behold, therefore I have 'smitten mine 
hand at thy dishonest gain whicli thou hast made, 
and at thy blood which hadi been in the midst 
of thcc. 

14 ^ Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands 
be strong, in the days that I shall deal with 
thee? I the Lord have spoken it, and will 
do it. 

15 And I will scatter thee among the heathen, 
and disperse thee in the countries, ' and will con- 
sume thy filthiness out of thee. 

16 And thou || shalt take thine inheritance in 
thyself in the sight of the heathen, and thou shalt 
know that I am the Lord. 

17 And tlie word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

18 Son of man, " the house of Israel is to me 
become dross : all they are brass, and tin, and 
iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they 
are even the t dross of silver. 

19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Be- 
cause ye are all become dross, behold, therefore 
I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem. 

20 t As they gather silver, and brass, and iron, 
and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, 
to blow the fire upon it, to melt it, so u ill I ga- 
ther you in mine anger and in my fury, and I 
will leave you there, and melt you. 

21 Yea, I will gather you " and blow upon 
you in the tire of my wrath, and ye shall be 
melted in the "midst thereof 

22 As silver is melted in the midst of the fur- 
nace, so shall ye Ix; melted in the midst diereof ; 
and ye shall know tliat I the Lord ° have poured 
out my fur>' upon you.

The -whoredoms of Aholah and Ahol'ibah : CHAP 
hand of her lovers, into the hand of the ^ Assy- 
rians, upon whom she doted. 

10 These '^ disco\ered her nakedness : they 
took her sons and her daughters, and slew her 
with the sword : and she became t famous amorig 
women ; for thev had executed judgment upon 
her. 

11 And \^hen her sister Aholibah saw ihh^ 
t she was more corrupt in her inordinate love 
than she, and in her whoredoms t more than 
her sister in her whoredoms. 

12 She doted upon the ' Assyrians, her neigh- 
bours, "^ captains and rulers clothed most gorge- 
ously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them 
desirable young men. 

13 Then I saw that she was defiled, ?i)ar they 
took both one waj', 

14 And that she increased her whoredoms : 
for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, 
the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with 
vermilion, 

15 Girded with girdles upon their loins, ex- 
ceeding in dyed attire upon their head;, all of 
them princes to look to, after the manner of the 
Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity" : 

16 ' And t as soon as she saw them with her 
eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers 
unto them into Chaldea. 

17 And the t Babylonians came to her into 
the bed of love, and they defiled her with their 
\A horedom, and she was polluted with them, and 
her mind was t alienated from them. 

18 So she discovered her whoredoms, and 
discovered her nakedness : ™ then my mind was 
alienated from her, like as my inind was alie- 
nated from her sister. 

19 Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in 
calling to remembrance the days of her youth, 
" wherein she had played the harlot in the land 
of Egypt. 

20 For she doted upon their paramours, ° whose 
flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is 
like the issue of horses. 

21 Thus thou calledst to remembrance the 
lewdness of thy youth, p in bruising thy teats by 
the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth. 

22 If Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the 
Lord God ; Behold, ^ I will raise up thy lovers 
against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, 
and I will bring them against thee on every 
side ; 

23 *■ The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, 
' Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assy- 
rians with them: * all of them desirable young 
men, captains and rulers, great lords and re- 
nowned, all of them riding upon horses. 

24 And they shall come against thee w-ith cha- 
riots, waggons, and wheels, and with an assembly 
of people, which shall set against thee buckler, 
and shiekl, and helmet, round about : and I will 
set judgment before them, and they shall judge 
thee according to their judgments. 

25 And 1 will set my jealousy against thee, 
and they shall deal furiously with thee : they 
shall take away thy nose and thine ears, and 



XXIII. Judgments for their idolatry. 

thy remnant shall fall by the sword : they shall 
take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue 
shall be devoured by the fire. 

26 ''They shall also strip thee out of thy 
clothes, and take away thy f fair jewels. 

27 Thus will 1 make ^ thy le\^-dness to cease 
from thee, and thy whoredom broiriht from -' the 
!and of Egypt : so that thou shalt not lift up 
thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any 
more. 

28 For thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, I 
will deliver thee into the hand of them '"■ whom 
thou hatest, into the hand of them ^ from whom 
thy mind is alienated : 

29 And they shall deal with thee haiefully, 
and shall take away all thy labour, ° and shall 
leave thee naked and bare : and the nakedness 
of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy 
lewdness and thy whoredoms. 

30 I will do these things unto thee, " because 
thou hast gone a v.-horing after the lieathen, and 
because thou art polluted with their idols. 

31 Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; 
therefore will I give her "^cup into thine hand. 

32 Thus saith the Lord God ; Thou shalt 
drink of thy sister's cup deep and large, ^ thou" 
shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision : 
it containeth much. 

o3 Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and 
sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and deso- 
lation, with the cup of thy sister Saniaiia. 

34 Thou shalt even '' drink it and suck it out, 
and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and 
pluck off thine own breasts : for I have spoken 
/V, saith the Lord God. 

35 Therefore thus saith the Lord God ; Be- 
cause thou hast forgotten me, ^ and cast me be- 
hind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy 
lewdness and thy whoredoms. 

36 H The Lord said moreover unto me; 
Son of man, wilt thou ^ \\ judge Aholah and 
Aholibah ? yea, declare unto them their abo- 
minations ; 

37 That they have committed adultery, 'and 
blood is in their hands, and with their idols have 
.they committed adultery, and have also caused 
their sons, ^ whom they bare unto me, to pass for 
them through the fire, to de^"Our them. 

38 MoreoA-er this they have done unto me : 
thej^ have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, 
^ and ha\"e profaned my sabbaths. 

39 For when thej' had slain their children to 
their idols, then they came the same day into 
my sanctuarj- to profane it ; and, lo, •" thus have 
they done in the midst of mine house. 

40 And, furthermore, that je have sent for 
men t to come from far, unto whom a messenger 
iva's sent ; and, lo, they came ; for whom thou 
" didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and 
deckedst thyself with ornaments, 

41 And sattest upon a t stately bed, and a 
table prepared before it, ° whereupon thou hast 
set mine incense and mine oil, 

42 And a voice of a multitude being at ease 
'luas witk her : and with the men t of the common

month, in the tenth day of the month, the 
word of the Lord came unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man, Write thee the name of the day, 
even of this same day : the king of Babylon set 
himself against Jerusalem ^ this same day. 

3 And utter a parable unto the rebellious 
house, and say unto them. Thus saith the Lord 
God ; ' Set on a pot, set it on, and also pour 
\\ ater into it : 

4 Gather the pieces thereof into it, even every 
good piece, the thigh, and tlie shoulder ; fill it 
w idi the choice bones. 

5 Take the choice of the flock, and II burn also 
the bones under it, and make it boil well, and 
Itt them seethe the bones of it therein. 

6 II W hercforc thus saith the Lord God ; 
W oe ^ to the bloody city, to the pot w hose scum 
is therein, and whose scum is not gone out of 
it ! bring it out piece by piece ; ' let no lot fall 
upon it. 

7 For her blood is in the midst of her ; she set 
it ui-on llie top ol a rock ; she puuied it not upon 
tlie giound, to cover it with dust; 

b That it might cause fury to come up to take 
vengeance ; 1 have set her blood upon the top of 
a rock, that it should not be covered. 

9 'I'herefore thus saith the Lord God ; ^ Woe 
to the bloody city I I will even make the pile for 
ftrc great. 



10 Heap on wood, kindle the fire, consume 
the flesh, and spice it well, « and let the bones be 
burned. 

11 Then set it empty upon the coals thereof, 
that the brass of it may be hot, and may burn, 
and that ^ the filthiness of it may be molten in it, 
that the scum of it may be consumed. 

12 She hath wearied herself with lies, and her 
great scum went not forth out of her : her scum 
shall be in the fire. 

13 In thy filthiness is lewdness : because I have 
purged thee, and thou wast not purged, thou shall 
not be purged from thy filthiness any more, till 
I have ' caused my fury to rest upon thee. 

14 "^ I the Lord have spoken /'/ .• it shall come 
to pass, and I will do it ; I will not go back, 
' neither w ill I spare, neither will I repent ; ac- 
cording to thy ways, and according to thy doings, 
shall they judge thee, saith the Lord God. 

\5 ^\ Also the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

16 Son of man, behold, I take away from 
thee '" the desire of thine eyes with a stroke : yet 
neither shalt thou mourn nor weep, neither shall 
thy tears t run down. 

17 t Forbear to cry, make no mourning for 
the dead, bind the tire of thine head upon 
thee, and put on thy shoes upon thy feet, and 
cover not thy t lips, and eat not the bread of 
men. 

18 So I spake unto the people in the morning : 
and at even my w ife died ; and I did in the morn- 
ing as I was commanded. 

19 II And the people said unto me, " Wilt 
thou not tell us what these things are to us, diat 
thou doest so ? 

20 Then I answered them. The word of the 
Lord came unto me, saying, 

21 Speak unto the house of I.sracl, Thus saith 
the Lord God ; "Behold, I will profane my .sanc- 
tuary, the excellency of your strength, the desire 
of your eyes, and t that which your soul pitieth ; 
and your sons and your daughters whom ye have 
left shall fall by the sw ord. 

22 And ye shall do as I ha\e done : ^ ye 
shall not cover your lips, nor eat the bread of 
men. 

23 And your tires .y/6<7///'£' upon your heads, and 
your shoes upon your feet : •> ye shall not mourn 
nor weep ; but ye shall pine away for your ini- 
quities, and mourn one toward another. 

24' Thus Ezekiel is unto you a sign : accord- 
ing to all that he hath done shall ye do : and when 
this Cometh, ye shall know that I ajn the Lord 
God. 

25 Also, thou son of man, shall it not be in 
the day w hen I take from them their strength, 
the joy of their glory, " the desire of their eye.s, 
and t that whereupon they set their minds, their 
sons and their daughters, 

26 That he that escapeth in that daj' ' .shall 
come unto thee, to cause ihee to hear it with 
thine ears ? 

27 In that day shall thy mouth be " opened to 
him which is escaped, and tliou shalt speak, and

CHAP. XXV. 

I God''s vengeance, for their insolence against the^ 
Jexvs, upon the Ainmonites, 8 upon Moab and 
Seir, \2upon Edom, 15 and uponthe Philistines. 

THE word of the Lord came again unto me, 
saying, . , , 

2 Son of man, set thy face * agamst the Am- 
monites, and prophesy against them ; 

3 And say unto the Ammonites, Hear the 
word of the Lord God ; Thus saith the Lord 
God ; Because thou saidst,''Aha, against my sanc- 
tuary, \\ hen it was profaned; and against the land 
of Israel, when it was desolate; and against the 
house of Judah, when they went into captivity ; 

4 Behold, therefore I will deliver thee to the 
t men of the east for a possession-, and they shall 
set their palaces in thee, and make their dwell- 
ings in thee : they shall eat thy fruit, and they 
shall drink thy milk. 

5 And I will make " Rabbah a ^ stable for camels, 
and the Ammonites a couching place for flocks : 
and ye shall knoM- that I am the Lord. 

6 For thus saith the Lord God ; Because thou 
hast clapped thine t hands, and stamped with the 
t feet, and rejoiced in f heart with all thy despite 
against the land of Israel ; 

7 Behold, therefore ^ I will stretch out mine 
hand upon thee, and will deliver thee for ii a spoil 
to the heathen ; and I will cut thee off from the 
people, and I will cause thee to perish out of the 
countries : I will destroy thee ; and thou shalt 
know that I am the Lord. 

8 U Thus saith the Lord God ; *■ Because that 
Moab and Seir do say. Behold, the house of 
Judah is like unto all the heathen ; 

9 Therefore, behold, I will open the t side of 
Moab from the cities, from his cities ivhich are 
on his frontiers, the glory of the country, Beth- 
jeshimoth, Baal-meon, and Kiriathaim, 

10 Unto s the men of the east II with the Am- 
monites, and will give them in possession, that 

'^mtn. "^ ^^^ Ammonites may ^ not be remembered among 
h Chap, the nations. 

21. 32. Y\ And I will execute judgments upon Moab ; 

and they shall know that I am the Lord.

1 Tyrusfor insulting against Jerusalem is threat-

her. 15 The mourning and astonishment of the 
sea at her fall. 

AND it came to pass ^ in the eleventh year, in 
the first day of the month, that the word of \l 
the Lord came unto me, saying, 

2 Son of man, because that "^ Tjtus hath said 
against Jerusalem, " Aha, she is broken that was 
the gates of the people : she is turned unto 
me : I shall be replenished, noiv she is laid 
waste : 

3 Therefore thus saith the Lord God ; Be- 
hold, I am against thee, O Tyrus, and will cause 
many nations to come up against thee, as the sea 
causeth his waves to come up. 

4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyrus, 
and break doAvn her towers ; I will also scrape 

her dust from her, and make her ^ like the top "Ver. i4, 
of a rock. 

5 It shall be a place for the spreading of nets in 
^the midst of the sea : for I have spoken it, saith 
the Lord God : and it shall become a spoil to the 
nations. 

6 And her daughters which are m the field shall 

be slain by the sword ; ^and they shall know that 25^5^^' 
I am the Lord. 

7 H For thus saith the Lord God ; Behold, I 
will bring upon Tyrus Nebuchadrezzar king of 
Babj'lon, e a king of kings, fi-om the north, with i^^-j^ 
horses, and with chariots, and with horsemen^ bimts. 37.

thee, and II cast a mount against thee, and lift 5,°/;,^,, ^^ 
up the buckler against thee. S"*"' 

9 And he shall set engines of war against thy c'ha'p. 
walls, and with his axes he shall break do^vn ^^'^^' 
thy towers. 

10 By reason of the abundance of his horses 
their dust shall cover thee : thy '' walls shall shake ^ ^f'- *■ 
at the noise of the horsemen, and of the wheels, 

and of the chariots, when he shall enter into 

thy gates, t as men enter into a city wherein t"^.'?;',,^^ ,«

11 With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread *'^o"-"a^

12 And they shall make a spoil of thy riches,

19 For thus saith the Lord God ; When I shall 
make thee a desolate city, like the cities that are 
not inhabited ; when I shall bring up the deep 
upon thee, ancl great waters shall cover thee ; 

20 ' When I shall bring thee down with them 
that descend into the pit, with the people of old 
time, and shall set thee in the low parts of the 
earth, in places desolate of old, with them that go 
down to the pit, that thou be not inhabi-ted; and 
I shall set glory in the land of the living ; 

21 I will make thee t a terror, and thou shalt

shalt thou never be found again, saith the Lord 
God.

2 Son of man, speak to the children of thy christ

4 Then t whosoever heareth the sound of the tncb. 
trumpet, and taketh not warning, if the sword ilHtTni 
come, and take him a^^'ay, ^ his blood shall be ''^"""l' .

upon his own head. "• 

5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and 
took not warning; his blood shall be upon 
him. But he that taketh warning shall deii-s'er 
his soul. 

6 But if the watchman see the sword come, 
and blow not the trumpet, and the people be 
not warned ; if the sword come, and take any 
person from among them, he is taken away in 

his iniquity ; '^ but his blood will I require at the '^^"■'- 
v/atchman's hand. 

7 If'^So thou, O son of man, I have set thee {Sfplf' 
a watchman unto the house of Israel ; therefore 

thou shalt hear the word at my mouth , and * warn « ver. 3, a. 
them from me. 

8 When I saj' unto the wicked, O Avicked man^ 
thou shalt surely die ; if thou dost not speak to 
warn the Avicked from his way, that ^vicked man 
shall die in his iniquity: but his blood will I re- 
quire at thine hand. 

9 Nevertheless, if thou warn the wicked of 
his way to turn from it ; if he do not turn from 

his way, ^he shall die in his iniquity; but thou j^'^^'^- 
hast delivered thy soul. 

10 T[ Therefore, O thou son of man, speak 
unto the house of Israel ; Thus ye speak, say- 
ing, If our transgressions and our sins be upon 

us, and we '•'pine away in them, ''how should fi^s!' 
we then live 1 

11 Say unto them. As I live, saith the Lord 
God, 'I have no pleasure in the death of the i4.'''"' '^- 
wicked; but that the Avicked turn from his way ciiapis.^i. 
and live : turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways ; 

for ^ why Avill ye die, O house of Israel ? X^^IT 

12 Therefore, thou son of man, say unto the 
children of thy people, The 'righteousness of Jg^^p^.^ 
the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of zei 
his transgression : as for the wickedness of the 
\vicked, he shall not lall thereby in the day that 

he turneth from his wickedness; neither shall 
the righteous be able to live for his righteousness 
in the day that he sinneth.

in the morning ; and my mouth was opened, and 
I was no more '' dumb. 

23 Then the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

24 Son of man, they that inhabit those ^ wastes 
of the land of Israel speiik, saying, Abraham was 
" one, and he inherited the land : but we arc ma- 
ny ; the land is given us for inheritance. 

25 Wherefore say imto them. Thus saith the 
Lord God ; "^ Ye eat with the blood, "^and lift up 
your eyes toward your idols, and shed blood : 
and shall ye possess the land? 

26 Ye stand upon your sword, ye work abo- 
mination, and ye defile every one hi.s neighbour's 
w ife : and shall ye possess the land ? 

27 Say thou thus unto them, Thus saith the 
Lord God ; As I li\e, surely they that are in the 
wastes shall fall by the sword, and him that is 
in the open field will I gi\e to the beasts f to be 
devoured, and they that be in the forts :ukI "^in 
the ca\ es shall die of the i)estilence. 

28 For I w ill la\' the land t most desolate, and 
the 'pomp of her strength sliall cease; '^and the 
mountains of Israel shall be desolate, that none 
shall p;iss through. 

29 Tlien shall they know that I am the Lor d,

cause of all their abominations Avhich they have 
eonuuitted.

1 A reproof of the shepherds. 7 God'' s judgment 
against them : \\ His providence for his Jiock. 
20 The kingdom of Christ. 
ND the \\ord of the Lord came unto me, "^ 
saying, 

2 Son of man, prophesy against the *shep- ^^""""^ 
herds of Israel, prophesy, and say unto them, 
Thus saith the Lord God unto the shepherds; 

•^ \\ Oe be to the shepherds of Israel that do feed tzcch.u. 
themselves ! should not the shepherds feed the ^" 
flocks? 

3 ' Ye cat the fat, and ye clothe you with the ^ ^^^- " 
wool, ye kill them that are fed : but ye feed not 

the flock. 

4 '' The diseased ha% e ye not streng-thened, nei- '^ ^'f- '*• 
ther haAC ye healed that which was sick, neither 
ha\e ye bound up that ivhich was broken, nei- 
ther haA'c ye brought again that which was dri- 
ven away, neither have ye "^ sought that which jj'-jj'" 
was lost ; but a\ ith ^ force and w ith cruelty have nvtw. 
ye ruled them. ''^' 

5 And they were scattered, || because there is l°,[i,„„ 
no shepherd : « and thej became meat to all the ^,']'*^\^;, 
beasts of the field, when they were scattered. "■ 

6 My sheep wandered through all the moun- fj.'^^fg."- 
tains, and upon every high hill : yea, my flock ^"- » 

w as scattered upon all the face of the earth, and 
none did search or seek after them. 

7 ^ Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the \v(;rd 
of the Lord ; 

8 As I live, saith the Lord God, surely be- 
catise mj' flock became a prey, and mj- flock be- 
came '■ meat to every beast of the field, because ^^"- *• 
there ivas no vhepherd, neither did my shepherds 
search for my flock , but the shepherds ' fed them- ' V"- -' '« 
selves, and fed not my flock ; 

9 Tlieielore, O ye shepherds, hear the word 
of the Lord ; 

10 Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am 
against tiie shepherds; ''and I will recitiire my k^Hcbr. is. 
flock at their hand, and cause them to cease "' 
from feeding the flock ; neither shall the shep- 
herds ' feed themselves any more ; for I will de- > \>r.2,i.

not be meat for them. 

11 ^1 For thus saith the Lord God; Behold, 

I, even I, will both search my sheep, "> and seek JJ,/"'""*' 
them out. 

12 t As a sliepherd seekelh out his flock in the ],^J,l'j„^

upon the high mountains of Israel shall their 
fold be : p there shall they lie in a good fold, and 
hi a fat pasture shall they feed upon the moun-

15 1 will feed my flock, and I will cause them 
to lie dov/n, saith the Lord God. 

16 1 1 will seek that which ^ras lost, and bring 
again that ^vhich was driven a\\ay, and will bind 
up fhat luhich was broken, and will strengthen 
that which A\as sick : but I will destroy the fat and 
the strong ; "" I will feed them ^\■ith judgment. 

17 And as for you, O my flock, thus saith the , 
Lord God ; Behold, I judge between f cattle and 
catde, bet^^-cen the rams and the t he-goats. 

18 Seemeth it a small thing unto you to have 
eaten up the good pasture, but ye must tread 
doM'n with your feet the residue of your pas- 
tures? and to have drunk of the deep waters, 
but ye must » foul the residue with your feet ? 

19 And as for my flock, they eat that which 
ye have ti'odden with your feet ; and they drink 
that which ye have fouled with your feet. 

20 Tl Therefore thus saith the Lord God un- 
to them ; Behold, I, * even I, will judge between 
the fat cattle and between the lean cattle. 

21 Because ye have thrust with side and with 
shoulder, and pushed all the diseased with 5' ovu- 
horns, till ye have scattered them abroad ; 

22 Therefore will I sa^'e my flock, and they 
shall no more be a prey ; " and I will judge be- 
tv.ecn cattle and cattle. 

23 And I will set up one * shepherd over 
them, and he shall feed them, eise?! my servant 
David ; ' he shall feed them, and he shall be 
their shepherd. 

24 And I the Lor p will be their God, and 
y i5a.9. 6. j^y servant David a ^ prince among them ; I the 

Lord liave spoken it. 

25 And I will make with them a ^ covenant of 
peace, * and will cause the evil beasts to cease 
out of the land : and they *• shall dwell safely in 
the \^"ilderness, and sleep in the "woods. 

26 And I will make them and the places 
cisa.19.24. round about my hill "^ a blessing; and I will 

cause the shower to come down in his season; 
there shall be showers of blessing. 

27 And the tree of the fields shall yield her 
fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase, and 
they shall be safe in their land, and shall know 
that I am the Lord, when I have broken the

me as "the uncleanness of a removed woman. 

18 AVheiefore I poured mv furv upon them for

for their idols wherewith thej- had polluted it : 

19 And 1 scattered them among the heathen, 
and they were dispersed through the countries :

then shcill know that I am the Lord, the Holy 
One in Israel. 

8 Ti Behold, it is come, ^aiid it is done, saith 
the Lord God ; this is the daj" * whereof I have 
spoken. 

9 And they that d^A^ell in the cities of Israel 
shall go forth, and shall set on fiz-e and burn the 
weapons, both the shields and the bucklers, the 
bows and the arrows, and the || haiid-staves, and

10 So that they shall take no wood out of the 
field, neither cut do'WTi any out of the forests ; for 
they shall burn the weapons v.ith fire : ^ and they 
shall spoil those that spoiled them, and rob those 
that robbed them, saith the Lord God. 

11^ And it shall come to pass in that day, that 

I will gi\"e unto ^ Gog a place there of graves in 
Israel, the valley of tlie passengers on the east ox 
the sea : and it shall stop the ti noses of the passen- 
gers : and there shall thej^ bury Gog and all his 
multitude : and they shall call iz. The valley of 

II Hamon-gog. 

12 And seven months shall the house of Israel 
be burying of them, ^ that they may cleanse the 
land. 

13 Yea, all the people of the land shall bury 
them ; and it shall be to them a reno\\'n the day 
that I shall be glorified, saith the Lord God. 

1 4 And they shall sever out f nien of conti- 
nual em.ployment, passing thi-ough the land to 
bury with the passengers those that remain upon 
the face of the earth, to ^ cleanse it : after the 
end of scACn months shall they search. 

15 And the passengers that pass through the 
land, when any seeth a man's bone, then shall 
he t set up a sign by it, till the buriers have bu- 
ried it in the valley of ^ Hamon-gog. 

16 And also the name of the city shallbe Jl Ha-

17 TiAnd thou, son of man, thus saith the 
Lord God ; Speak t unto every feathered fowl, 
and to every beast of the field, Assemble your-

The chambers., metzsurcs, parts., CHAP, 

thereof, on this side, and on that side : and the 
going up to it had eight steps. 

38 And the chambers and the entries thereof 
were by the posts of the gates, where they wash- 
ed ^ the burnt- offering. 

39 •IfAnd in the porch of the gate ivere two 
tables t)n this side, and two tables on that side, 
to slay thereon the burnt-offering and * the sin- 
offering and ^the trespass-oflering. 

40 And at the side without, || as one goeth up 
to the entry of the north gate, ivere two tables ; 
and on the other side, which was at the porch of 
the gate, ivere two tables. 

41 ^ Four tables wdT^ on this side, aiid four ta- 
bles on that side, by the side of the gate ; eight 
tables, whereupon they slew their sacrifices. 

42 And the four tables were of hewn stone for 
the burnt-offering, of a cubit and an half long, and 
a cubit and an half broad, and one cubit high : 
whereupon also they laid the instruments where- 
with they slew the burnt- offering and the sacrifice. 

43 And within were \\ hooks, an hand broad, 
fastened round about : and upon the tables was 
the flesh of the offering. 

44 Ti And without the inner gate ■ii' *??•<? the cham- 
bers of the *" singers in the inner court, which was 
at the side of the north gate ; and their prospect 
%\jas to\vard the south : one at t!ie side of the east 
gate having the prospect toward the north. 

45 And he siiid unto me, This chimiber whose 
prospect is toward the south, is for the priests, 
the keepers of the !l charge of the house. 

46 And the chamber whose prospect /^'toward 
the north is for the priests, ' the keepci-s of the 
charge of the altai' : these are the sons of ^ T^'Sl- 
dok among the sons of Levi, which come near 
to the Lor D to minister unto him. 

47 So he measured tiie court, an hundred cu- 
bits long, and an hundred cubits broad, four- 
square ; and the altar that %vas before the house. 

48 Ti And he brought me to the porch of the 
house, and measured each post of the porch, five 
cubits on this side, and five cubits on that side : 
and the breadth of the gate was three cubits on 
this side, and three cubits on that side. 

49 * I'he length ofthe porch xy^iio-tvventy cubits, 
and the breadtli eleven cubits ; and he brought 
me by the steps whereby they went up to it : 
™ and there were pillars by the posts, one on this 
side, and another on that side. 

CHAP. XLL 
The measures^ parts., chambers, and ornaments of 
the temple. 
A FTERWARD he brought me to the Hem- 
jl\ pie, andmeasuredthe posts, six cubits broad 
on the one side, and six cubits broad on the other 
side, which was the breadth of the tabernacle. 

2 And ihe breadth of the || door was ten cu- 
bits ; and the sides ol' the door were five cubits 
on the one side, and five cubits on the other side : 
and he measured the length tlicreof,forty cubits, 
and the breadth., tv>enty cubits. 

3 Then went lie inward, and measured the 
post of the door, two cubits; and the door, six 
cubits ; and the brt adth of the door, seven cubits . 



XLI, and ornaments of the temple. 

4 So he measured the '' lengtli tliereof, twenty 
cubits ; and the breadth, twenty cubits, before 
the temple : and he said unto me, This is the 
most holy p/i^c^. 

5 After he measured the wall of the house, six 
cubits ; and the breadth of e^uery side chamber, 
four cubits, round about the house on everj- side . 

6 And the side chambers were thi'ee, f o^'ic 
over ariother, and |i thirty in order ; and they 
entered into the wall which was of the house 
for the side chambers roimd about, that thej- 
might t have hold, but they had not hold in the 
wail of the house. 

7 ^ And ■\ there was an enlarging,*^ anda winding 
about still upward to the side chambers : for the 
winding about of the house went still upward 
round about the house : therefore the breadth oi 
the house was .yrz7/upward, and so increased from 
the lowest chamber to the highest by the midst. 

8 I saw also the height of the house round 
about : the foundations of tlie side chambers 
were ^a full reed of six great cubits. 

9 The thickness of the wall, which was for 
the side chamber '.vithout, %vas five cubits ; and 
that which was- left was the place of the side 
chambers tlaat were within. 

10 And between the chambers was the ^ide- 
ness of twenty cubits round about the house on 
every side. 

1 1 And the doors of the side chambers were 
tov/ard the place that was left, one door toward 
the north, ^ and another door to\^ ard the south : 
and the breadth of tlie place that was left wa.: 
five cubits round about, 

12 Now the building that was before the se- 
parate place at the end to\\ard the west was 
seventy cubits broad ; and the wall of the build- 
ing was fi've cubits thick round about^ and the 
length thereof ninety cubits. 

13 So he measured the house,an hundred cubits 
long ; and the separate place, and the building, 
with the walls thereof, an hundred cubits long ; 

14 Also the breadth of the face of the house, 
and of ' the separate place toward the east, an 
hundred cubits. 

15 And he measured the length of the build- 
ing over against the separate place Vvhich -washe- 
hind it, and the |! galleries thereof on the one side 
and on the other side, an hundred cubits, Avith 
the inner temple, and the porches of the court ; 

16 The door posts, and the narrow windows, 
and the galleries round about on their three sto- 
ries, OAer against the door, t ceiled with Vv ood 
round about, fl and from the ground up to the 
windows, and the wiridoAVs were covered ; 

17 To that above the door, even u'lto the in- 
ner house, and without, and by ail the wall round 
about within and without, by t measure. 

18 And it ivas m.ade Avith ^ chenibim.s and 
palm-trees, so that a p:Jm-tree was between a 
cherub and a cherub ; and every cherub had 
two faces ; 

19 ^ So that the face, of a man was toward the 
palm-tree on the one side, and the face of a young 
lion toward the palm-tree on the other side :

THEN lie brought me forth into the outer

brought me into the chamber * that was over 
against the separate place, and which was before 
tlie building toward the north. 

2 Before the length of an hundred cubits vcas

4 And before the chambers was^ walk often

their doors lowaid the north. 

5 Now the upper chambers were shorter : for 
the galleries 1| A\ere liigher than these, || than the 
lou en and than the middlemost of the building. 

6 For tliey were in three stories, but had not 
pillais as the j)! liars of the courts ; therefoie the

10 The chambers 7irrf in the thickness of the

of the way,rz)t7/ the way direttly Ixfore the wall 
toward the east, as one entereth into them. 

13 1i 'I'hen said he unto me, ' The north cham-

thresholds, and their post by my posts, || and the

filed my holy name by their abominations that 
they have committed : wherefore I have con- 
sumed them in mine anger. 

9 Now let them put away their ^^•horedom,

10 H Thou son of man, shew the house to the

1 1 And if they be ashamed of all that they have 
done, shew them the ' form of the house, and the 
fashion thereof,and the goings out thereof,and th-e 
com'ings in thereof, and all the forms thereof, and 
all the ordinances thereof, and all the forms there- 
of, and all the laws thereof : and write it in their

aiidall the ordinances thereof, and do them. 

12 This is the law of the house ; ^" Upon the 
top of the mountain the whole limit thereof 
round about s/iall be most holy. Behold, this is 
the law of the house. 

13 And these air the measures of the altar 
after the cubits:"The cubitw a cubit and an hand-

14 And from the bottom ujioJi the ground 
even to the loM'er settle shall be two cubits, and 
the breadth one cubit ; and from the lesser settle 
e-'ceji to the greater settle shall be four cubits, 
and the breadth one cubit. 

15 So t the -dltcW shall be four cubits ; and from 
t the altar and up^\ ards shall be four horns. 

16 And the altar shall be t\\ elve cubits long,

17 And the settle shall be fourteen a/^zV.ylong

the sin-offering, and put it upon the posts of the 
house, and upon the four corners of the settle of 
the altar, and upon the posts of the gate of the

month * for every one that erreth, and for him 
that is simple : so shall ye reconcile the house.

the month, ye shall have the passover, a feast of

IN the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim 
king of Judah * came Nebuchadnezzar king 
of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it^. 

2 And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah 
into his hand,''\vith part of the vessels of the house 
of God: which he carried into the ^ land of Shinar 
to the house of his god ; and he brought the ves- 
sels into the tieasure-house of his god. 

3 K And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the 
master of his eunuchs, tliat he should bring 

l^u^x! * certain of the children of Israel, and of the 
king's seed, and of the princes ; 

4 Children in '' whom was no blemish, but well 
favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning 
in knowlerlgc, and understanding science, and 
such as //^/rt' ability in them to stand in the king's 
palace, and ' whom they might teach the learning 
and the tongue of the Chaldeans. 

5 And the king appointed them a daily pro- 
vision of the king's meat, and of f the Avine 
\\ hich he drank : so nourishing them three years, 
that at the end thereof they might ^ stand before 
the king. 

6 Now among these were of the children of Ju- 
dah, Dimiel, Himaniah, Mishael, and Azariah : 

7 Unto A\ horn the prince of the eunuchs « g-ave j 
names : for he gave unto Daniel the name ^ of

prince of the eunuchs had set over Daniel, Ha- 
naniah, Mishael, and Azai-iah, 

12 rrove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten 
days ; and let them give us f pulse t to eat, 
and vyater to drink. ^^^ 

13 Then let our countenances be looked upon /J.i>wm«jf 
before thee, and the countenance of the children ""' *"'' 
that eat * of the portion of the king's meat : and 
as thou seest, deal with thy ser\'ants. 

14 So he consented to them in this matter, 
and proved them ten days. 

15 xAnd at the end of ten days their counte- 
nances appeai^ed *" fairer and fatter in flesh than 
all the children which did eat the portion of the ^^^v. v. i 
king's meat. 

16 Thus Melzar took away the portion of their 
meat, and the wine that they should drink ; " „ ver. 12. 
and gave them pulse. 

17 HAs for these four children, "God gave 01 King? 
them knowledge and skill in all learning and '• **• 
wisdom : ^ and || Daniel had understanding in all 
visions and dreams. 

18 Now at the end of the days that the king 
had said he should bring them in, then the prince frr'^L""" 
of the eunuchs brought them in before Nebu- 
chadnezzar. 

19 And the king communed with them; and 
among them all was found none like Daniel, 
Hananiah,iMisliael, and Azariah : therefore stood 
they before the king.

magicians, and the astiologers, and the sor- 
cerers, and the Chaldeans, for to shew the 
king his dreams. So diey came and Ktood be-

3 And the king said unto them, I have da;eam-

the dream. 

4 Then spake the Chaldeans to the king in 
Syriack, ^ O king, live for c\er : tell thy servants 
the dream, and v\e Vvill shew the interpre-

5 The king ansA\'ered and said to the Chal- 
deans, The thing is gone from me : if ye will 
not make known unto me the dream, with the 
inteipretation thereof, ye shall be ' f cut in

thereof. 

7 They answered again and said. Let the king 
tell his servants the dream^, and wt \v'ill shew 
the interpretation of it. 

8 The king ansvrered and said, I know of cer- 
tainty that ye would t gain the time, because ye 
see the thing is gone from m^e. 

9 But if ye will not make knov.n unto me the 
dream, there is but^ one decree for you : for ye 
have prepai'ed lying and corrupt Vv ords to speak 
before me, till the time be changed : therefore 
tell me the dream, and \ shall know that ye can 
shew me the intei-pretation thereof. 

10 If The Chaldeans answered before the 
king, and said. There is not a man upon the 
earth that can shew the king's matter : dierefore 
there is no king, lord, nor ruler, r/zc? asked such 
things at any magician, or astrologer, or Chal- 
dean. 

11 And it is a rare thing that the king requir- 
eth, and there is none other that can shew it be- 
fore the king, ^ except the gods, whose d\\ elling 
is not with flesh. 

12 For this cause the king w as angr>^ ajid very 
furious, and commanded to destroy idl the ivise 
;7Zf« of Babylon. 

13 And the decree went foith 'that the wise 
men should be slain ; and they sought Daniel and 
his fellov, s to be slain. 

14 If Then Daniel t answered with counsel 
and wisdom, to Arioch the || t captain of the 
king's guai-d, whicli ^\■as gone forth to slay the 
wise men of Babjlon : 

1 5 He answered and said to Arioch the kin.g's 
captain. Why is the decree so hasty from the 
king ? Then Arioch made the tiling known to 
Daniel. 

16 Then Daniel went in, and desired of the 
king that he \\-ould give him time, and diat he 
would shewLthe king the interpretation. 

17 Then Daniel went to his house, ^and made 
the thuig known to Kananiali, IVlishuel, and 
Azariah, his companions :

1 9 Then was the secret re^■ealed unto Daniel ,, or, 
in a night vision. Then Daniel blessed the God ",\"^JdZt 
of heaven. _ SS©-..- 

20 Daniel answered and said, ^ Blessed be the 1 ps/i.us. '

might are his : 

21 And he changeth the "times and the sea- mEsth. i.

he kno^weth Vvhat is in the dai-kness, and ^ the

23 I thank thee, and praise thee, O thou God

might, and hast made known unto me now 
what 1 we desired of thee : for thou iiast no\^ 1 ^^~- ^^-

24 TJ Therefore Daniel went in unto Arioch, 
whom the king had ordained to destroy the -(vise 
me7i of Babylon : he \\ent and said thus unto 
him ; Destroj' not the wise men of Bal^ylon : 
bring me in before the king, "" and I v.ill shew rver.ii. 
imto the king the interpretation. 

25 Then Arioch brought in Daniel before 

the king in haste, and said thus unto him, fl ''^f^^^ 
have found a man of the f captives of Judah, /ron^. "^^ 
that will make known unto the king the inter- X^}i^^^f

26 The king answered and said to Daniel, '^°^^"''' 
whose name ivas Belteshazzai', Art thou able to 
make knov.n unto me the dieam which I ha\ e 
seen, and the interpretation thereof? 

27 Daniel ans^^ered in the presence of the 
king, and said, ^ The secret which the king hath b ver. 19. 
demanded cannot the wise men, the astrologers, 

the magicians, the soothsayers, shew unto the 
king; 

28 * But there is a God in heaven that re\'eal- Ip^^-^*^-*-

34 Thou sawcst till that a stone Avas cut out 
II without hands, \vhich smote the image upon 
his feet th.it were of iron and ciaj', and brake 
them to pieces. 

35 'I'hen was the iron, the clay, the brass, 
the sih'cr, and the gold, broken to pieces toge- 
ther, and became ^ like the chaff' of the summer 
th!eshing-fi(X)rs ; and the wind carried them 
away, that no place was found for them ; and 
the stone that smote the image became a '' great 
mountain, and "^ filled the "whole eardi. 

36 This is the dream ; and we will tell tlie 
interpixtation tlicreof before the king. 

37 Thou, O king, art a "^ king of kings : * for 
the God of heaAcn hath given thee a kingdom, 
po^v•er, and strength, and r:lorA\ 

38 And wheresoe\er the children of men 
dwell, the beasts of the field and the low Is of 
the hea\en hath he given into thine hand, and 
hath made thee ruler over them all. *^Thou an 
this head of gold. 

39 And alter thee shall arise ^ another king- 
dom ^ inferior to thee, and another third king- 
dom of brass, ' w hich shall bear rule o\er all the 
earth. 

40 And the fourth kingdom shall be strong as 
iron : forasmuch as iron breaketh in pieces and 
subducth all things : and as iron that breaketh 
all these, shall it break in pieces and bruise. 

41 And \\hereas thou sawest the feet and toes, 
pait of potters' clay, and pai-t of iron, the king- 
dom shall be divided ; but thei'e shall be in it 
of the strength of the iron, forasmuch as thou 
sawest the iron mixed with miry clay. 

42 And as tlie toes of the feet ivere part of 
iron, and part of clay, so the kingdom shall be 
partly strong, and piully || broken. 



43 And whereas thou sawest iron ^ mixed 
with mir}- clay, they shall mingle themselves 
w ith the seed of men : Init they shall not cleave 
t one to another, even as iron is not mixed with 
clay. 

44 And in f the days of these kings shall the

^j^ O kinj?, t'l^^ve not regarded thee: they serve 
tch^id. not thy gods, nor worship the golden image 
rT'Vd't^K ^'I'J^ich thou hast set up. 
rtfr 13 ^Then Nebuchadnezzar in his rage and 

fury commanded to bring Shadrach, Meshach, 

and Abed-nego. Then they brought these men 

before the king. 

14 Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said unto them, 
^Is it li true, O Shachach, Meshach, and Abed- 
nego, do not ye sQrve my gods, nor v\-orship the 
golden image ^\•hich I ha\e set up '? 

15 No',\' if ye be ready that at \vhat time ye 
hear the sound of the comet, flute, harp, sack- 
but, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of rnu- 

kseeixod. sick, yc fall down and worship the image which 
Luke"i3. 9. I have made ; '' well: but if j-e worship not, ye 
llf°^-J-^ shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a 

burning fiery furnace ; ' and who is that God that 

shall deli\'er j'ou out of my hands '? 

16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, an- 
swered and said to the king, O Nebuchadnez- 
zar, •" we are not careful to answer thee in this 
matter. 

17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able 
to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and 
he will deli^'er us out of thine hand, O king. 

18 But if not, be it knoAvn unto thee, O king, 
that we will not serve tliy gods, nor w orship the 
golden image which thou hast set up. 

19 H Then was Nebuchadnezzar f full of fury, 
and the form of his visage A\as changed against 
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego : therefore 
he spake, and commanded that the}' should heat 
the furnace one sexen times more than it was 
^vont to be heated. 

20 And he commanded the f most mighty 
men that ivere in his ai"my to bind Shadi"ach, 
Meshach, and Abed-nego, and to cast the?n into 
the burnmg fiery funiace. 

21 Then these men were bound in their 
li coats, their hosen, and their Ij hats, and their 
other garments, and were cast into the midst of 
the l)uniing fiery funiace. 

22 Therefore because the king's i" command- 
ment was in-gent, and the furnace "exceeding 
hot, the Ij fiame of the fire slew those men that 
took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego. 

23 Ap.d these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, 
and Abed-nego, fell down bound into the midst 
of the burning fiery fiunace. 

24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was asto- 
nied, and rose up in haste, a/nl spixke, and said 
unto "his II counsellors. Did not we cast three 
men bound into the midst of tlie fire ? They an- 
swered and said unto the king, True, O king. 

25 He answered and said, Lo, I see '' four men 
loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and f they 
have no hurt : and the form of the fourth is i like 
the Son of God. 

26 Tf Then Nebuchadnezzai" came near to

and all flesh was fed of it. 

13 1 saw in the visions of my head upon my 
bed, and behold, a '" watcher and an holy one 
came down from heaven ; 

14 He cried t aloud, and said thus, "Hew 
down the tree, and cut off his branches, shake 
off his leases, and scatter his fruit: "let die 
beasts get away from under it, and the fowls 
from his branches. 

15 Nevertheless, leave the stump of his roots 
in the earth, cvtn M'ith a band of iron and brass, 
in the tender grass of die field; and let it be 
w et \\ ith the dew of heaven, and let his portion 
be with tlie i^)«ists in the grass of the earth. 

16 Let his heart be changed from man's, and 
let a beast's heart be gi\'en unto him ; ^and let se- 
ven times pass over him. 

17 This matter is by die decree of the watch- 
ers, and the demand by the w orcl of the holy 
ones : to the intent diat the living "^ may know 
that the ■■ Most High ruleth in the kingdom of 
men, and gi^ eth it to ^\ homsoever he ^\■ill, and 
setteth up over it the basest of men. 

18 This dream I king Nebuchadnezzar have 
seen. Now, diou, O Beltcshazzar, declare the in- 
terpretiition ther(,of, Mbrasmuch as all the A\"ise 
men of my kingdom are not able to make known 
unto me the interpretation: but thou ^//7 at^e; 
lor 'ihe spirit of the holy gods is in dice. 

19 If Then Daniel, -whose name ivas Beltc- 
shazzar, "was astonied for one hour, and his 
thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, 
lielteshazzar, let not the dream, or the intcri)ie- 
tation thereof, trouble thee. Beltcshazzar answer- 
ed, and Slid, My loid, *the dream /'t' to them 
that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to 
thine enemies. 

20 ^ The tree diat t liou saw est, m hich grew, and 
was strong, whose height reached unto the hca- j

22 "It is thou, O king, that art grown and be- 
come strong: for thy greatness is grown, and I 
re: chedi unto heaven, and thy dominion to the i 
end of the earth. i 

2.3 * And whereas the king siw a watcher and 
an holy one coming down f om heaven, and 
si'.ying," Hew the tree down, and destroy it; 
yet leave the stump of the roots thereot in the 



;] oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew ot

'till thou know that the Most High ruleth iufPsw.

30 The monarch:/ is translated to the Medes. 

BELSHAZZAR tlie king made ^ a great 
feast to a thousmid of his lords, and dxank 
wine before the thousand. 

2 Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, com- 
manded to bring the ^ golden and siher vessels 
which his father Nebuchacbiezzar had t taken 
out of the temple nhich %vas in Jerusalem ; that 
the king, and his princes, his \vive3, and his 
concubines, might drink, therein. 

3 Then thej" brought " the go.den -s-essels that 
were taken out of tlie temple of the house of God 
Avhich %vas at Jerusalem ; and the kuig, and his 
princes, his \\i\'es and his concubines, drank in 
them. 

4 They drank a vine, ^ and praised the gods of 
gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, 
and of stone. 

5 If ^ In the same hoiu" came forth fingers of a 
man's hand, and wrote o^er against the candle- 
stick upon the plaster of the wall of the king's 
palace : and the king saw the part of the hand 
that wrote. 

6 Then the ^king's countenance f was changed, 
and his tliou.ghts ti-oubied him, so that the 

II t joints of his loins wtrc loosed, and his knees j 
smote one again.st another- , 

7 The king cried f aloud to bring in the asti'o- ■

And the king spake and said to the \\ise men of 
Babylon, ^ \\ hosoever shi:ll read this writing, 
and she^\" me the interpretation thereof, shall be 
clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold 
about his neck, and shall be die third ruler in

8 Then came in all the king's wise men, but 
they could not read the \vriting, nor make knoA\Ti 
to die king the inttipretc.ticn thereof. 

9 Then was kingBelshazzai* greatly troubled,

conspiring against him, obtain an idolatrous de- 
cree 12 Daniel accused of the breach thereof, 
is cast into the lions'" den. 18 Daniel is saved, 
24 his adversaries devoured, 25 and God mag- 
nified by a decree. 

IT pleased Darius to set * o\er the kingdom 
an hundied and twenty princes, which should 
be OA er the whole kingdom ; 

2 And over these three presidents ; *" of whom 
Daniel vcas first : that .the princes might give j 
accounts unto them, and the king should have | 
no damage. . _ } 

3 Then this Daniel w as prefeiTcd above the • 
presidents and princes, because 'an excellent j 
spirit %vas in him ; and the king thought to set ; 
him over the whole realm. 

4 TI Then the presidents and princes sought to 
find occasion against Daniel concerning the king- 
dom ; but they could find none occasion nor 
fault; forasmuch as he ivas '^faithful, neither 
was theie any error or fault found in him. 

5 Then s;iid these men. We shall not find any 
occasion against this Daniel, except we find // 
against him concerning the law of his God. 

C Tlien these presidents and princes || assem- 
mui'twiiiy. Ijled together to the king, and said thus imto 
him, * King Darius, live for ever. 

7 All the presidents of the kingdom, the go- 
\eniors, and the princes, the counsellors, and 
the captains, ha\e consulted together to establish 
a royal stiitute, and to make a firni || decree, that 
whosoever shall ask a petition of any "^ god or 
man for thirty davs, save of thee, O king, he 
shall be cast into the den (jf lions. 

8 Now, O king, tstalilish the decree, and 
sign the writing, that it be not changed, accord- 
ing to the « law of the Medes and Persians, 
which i altereth not. 

9 Whf refore king Darius signed the writing 
-•nd llie decree. 

10 Now when Daniel knew that the A\riting 
\\as signed, he went into his house; nnd his 

windows being open in his chamber ''toward 
Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees 'thice

lEL. Daniel cast info the lions'* den: 

times a day, and prayed, and give thanks be- 
fore his God, as he did aforetime. ylZ^X^ 

11 Then these men ""assembled, and found ^^^^ 5, 
Daniel praying and making supplication before 

his God. 

12 Then they " came near, and spake befoi e the 5 ^"^'^ ' 
king concerning the king's decree ; Hast thou 

not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask 
a petition of anv god or man within thirty days, 
save of thee, king, shall be cast into the den 
of lions'? The king answered and said. The 
thing is true, "according to the law of the iVIedes ° '^■"•': 
and Persians, \vhich altereth not. 

13 Then ans\\ ered tliey and said before the 
king. That Daniel, ''which is of tlie children ofP^»P- 
the capti\'ity of Judah, "J regardeth not thee, O.ichap. 7. 
king, nor tiie decree that thou hast signed, but ^^ 
maketh his petition three times a day. 

14 Then the king, \vhcn he heard these 
words, '^ was sore displeased w\\\\ himself, and m%'|"*" 
set his heart on Daniel to deliver him : and Marto-^t 
he laboured till the going down of the sun to 
deliver him. 

15 Tlien these men assembled unto the king, 
and said unto the king, Knov.-, C) kins;, that tlic 

law of the Medes and Persians is, 'that no dc- sver.?. 
crec nor stiitute \\"hi-:h the king estal)lislietli may 
be ch.anged. 

16 Then tlK ki.i*^ commanded, and they 
brought Daniel, ^an.d cast him into the den of twr.- 
lions. Xinv the king spake aad said unto Da- 
niel, Thy God whom thou serve.st continually, 

he will deliver thee. 

17 And a stone was brourj-.t, 'and laid uponii.am.r 
the mouth of the den ; ^ and the king sealed it ""„.,„,, 
witli his own signet, and with the signet of his j^.tD. 
lords; that the purj^ose might not be changed 
concerning Daniel. 

18 H Then the king went to his palace, and 
passed the niglit fasting : neither were || in- 1 or, 
struments of musick brought bepjre him : 'and [ct^p.j.:. 
his sleej) went from him. 

19 Then the king aro.se very early in tlie 
morning, and went in haste unto the der. >!' 
lions. 

20 And w hen he came to the den, he cried 
with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and\\\\: 
king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, ser- 
vant of the living God, '"is thy Ciod whon^ y* a>»p. 
thou servest continually, able to deliver thee 
from the lions ? 

21 Then .said Daniel unto:' - king, " O king, nchap.2.4. 
live for evei". 

22 "Mv God hath .sent his angel, ^and hath o ci.ap. 
shut the lions' mouths, that they ha\e not hurt j'",,^;,,. 
me: forasmuch as belore him innocenry was"-«- 
found in me; and also before dice, O king, 
ha\e I done no hurt. 

23 Then was the king exceeding glad for him. 
and commanded that they should take Daniel 
up out of the den. So Daniel was taken up out 

of the den, and no manner of hurt was fotmd ; 

upon him, because he ^ believed in his God. S.S'*''

l-DaniePs vision of four beasts, 9 of God's king- 
dom. 15 The interpretation thereof. 
IN the first year of Belshazzar king of Baby- 
lon Daniel ^ t had a dream and visions of his 
head upon his bed : then he -wrote the dream, 
a/zf/told the sum of the || matters. 

2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in_ my A'ision 
by night, and, behold, '' the four ^inds of the 
heaven strove upon the great sea. 

3 And four " great beasts cam.e up from the 
sea, diverse one from another. 

4 The firs't was '^ like a lion, and had eagles' 
wings : I beheld till the wings thereof were 
plucked, II and it ^^'as lifted up from the earth, 
and made stand upon the feet as a man, and a 
man's heait \\ as given to it. 

5 And behold, ^ another beast, a second, Uke 
to a bear, and i| it raised up itself on one side, 
and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between 
the teeth of it : and they said thus unto it, Arise, 
devour much flesh. 

6 After this I beheld, and lo, another, like a 
leopaixl, which had upon the back of it four 
wings of a fo-\\ 1 ; the beast had also ^ four heads ; 
and dominion was given to it. 

7 After this I saw in the night visions, and 
behold, ^ a Iburth beast, dreadful and terrible, 
?ind strong exceedingly ; and it had great iron 
teeth : it devoured and brake in pieces, and 
stamped the residue with the feet of it : and it 
%\jas diverse from all the beasts that w<?/r before 
it ; and it had ^ ten homs. 

8 I considered the horns, and, behold, • there 
came up among them another little horn, before 
whom there \\-ere three of the first horns pluck- 
ed up by the roots: and, behold, in this horn wcr^ 
eyes lilte the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking 
great things. 

9 ^[ I beheld till the ^ thrones v.ere cast down, 
and tiie ^ Ancient of days did sit, whose garment 
ixias v/hite as snow, and the hair of his head like 
the pure wool : his throne was like the fierj' flame, 
and his ^ -^^ heels as buniing fire.

10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from cmusr 
before him : " thousand thousands ministered ,^^^_fffj 
unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand ^g^ev.s.n, 
stood before him : the judgment was set, and 
the ° books \^ere opened. _ \f;^- ^''^ 

111 beheld then because of the voice of the 
p great words which the hom spake : I bebt^Aeven p ver. 8. 
till the beast was slain, ^ and his body destroyed, aRev.i*, 
and given to the burning flame.

had their dominion taken away : yet t their lives t chaw.

like the Son of man came ^^■ith the clouds of 
heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and 
they brought him near before him. 

14 ' And there was given him dominion, and sps-^-^. 
gloiy, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, 
and languages, should sene him ; his dominion 
is ^ an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass tcuap. 
away, and his kmgdom that which shall not be lit 
destroyed. 

15^1 Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the 
midst of my f body, and the ^dsions of my head J^^^^'**- 
troubled me. ver.ji. 

16 1 came neai^ unto one of them that stood 
by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he 
told me, and made me kno-\v the inteipretation 
of the things. 

17 "^ These gi^eat beasts, which are four, are^^^"^--^- 
four kings, which shall arise out of the earth. 

18 But the saints of the f Most High shall take t chaw. 
the kingdom., and possess the kingdom for ever, uStTs!'' 
even for ever and e^'er. %llllT'' 

19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth 
beast, which -vAas di^'erse f from all tlie others, tchaid. 
exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, "mw"',"^' 
and his nails of brass ; which devoured, brake in ^ "* '■' 
pieces, and stamped the residue vrith his feet ; 

20 And of the ten horns that were in his head^ 
and of the other which came up, and before 
whom tliree fell ; " even of that horn that had ^ ver. - 
eyes, and a mouth that spake \'ery great things, 
whose look wias more stout than his fellows. 

21 I beheld, >' and the same honi made "^'^J'ycha^ 
with the saints, and prevailed against them ; 

22 Until the '^ Ancient of days came, * and 3 ver. 9- 
judgment was gi\en to the saints of the Most^^'"-^^- 
High, and the time came tlr.it the saints pos- 
sessed the kingdom. 

23 Thus he said, Tlie fourth beast shall be 

'' the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be bchac. 
di^^erse from all kingdoms, and shall devom- the *'""'■ 
whole earth, and shall tread it down, and bi-eak 
it in pieces. 

24 And "^ the ten horns out of this kingdom are c ver. 7, 
ten kings that shall arise : and another shall rise |."ev!'i7.i£. 
after them ; and he shall be diverse from the fiu-st, 

and he shall subdue three kirjgs. 

25 And he shall speak great words against the 
Most High, ^ and shall wear out the saints of the ^ »«'•". 
Most High, and think to change times and laws : 

and they shall be given into his hand * luitil a e cha?^

A shazzar a vision appeared unto me, evoi

me at the first. 

2 And I saw in a A'ision ; and it came to pass, 
\.i^'i a '■ ^^^^^" I '^''i^^j ^hat I \vas at ^ Sliushan in the pa- 
c Gen. JO. lacc, which is in thc pro\'ince of *= Elam ; and I 
"• saw in a a ision, and I ^'.as by thc river of Ulai, 

3 Then I iificd up mine eyes, and saw, and, 
liclwld, there stood before the ri\ er a ram which 
had /zi'ohonis: and the nvo horns ivcr'e high; 
biit one.iu^y liighcr thaii t the other, and the 
higher came up last. 

4 1 siiw the ram pushing westward, and nortli- 
ward, and southward ; so that no beasts might 
stand before him, neither %vas there anij^ diat 
C(v,i!d de!i\cr out of his hand ; ^ but he did ac- 

16. cording to his will, and became gi'cat. 

5 And as I ^^■as considering, behold, an he-goat 
came from the west on the face of the whole 
earth, and || touched not the ground : and the 
goat had^ a notable hom between his eyes. 

6 And he came to ' the ram that had fwo honis, 
v.hich I had seen standing before the river, and 
ran unto him in the finy of his power. 

7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, 
and he was mo\ed with choler against him, 
and smote the ram, and biake his two horns ; and 
there w as no j^owci- in the ram to stand before 
liim, but he cast him down to the ground, and 
stamped ui)on him : and there was none that 
could deliver thc ram out of his hand. 

8 Therefore the lie-goat waxed very great : 
and w hen he was strong, the great honi was 
broken ; and lor it came up ^ four notable ones 
^ towiird the four winds of heaven. 

9 And out of one of them came forth ^ a little 
hoin, which waxed exceeding gr:.at, toward the 
south, and toward the east, and toward the

10 And it waxed great, ccen || to the host 
of hcaA en ; and it cast down some of the host 
and of the stars to the ground, and stamped 
upon them. 

11 Yea, he magnified himself even || to the 
prince of the host, and || by him ^ thc daily sa-

Daniel considering the time of the captivity, CHAP 
for the restoration of Jerusalem. 20 Gabriel 
informeth him of the seventij weeks. 

IN the first year of * Darius the son of Aha- 
suerus, of the seed of the Medes, || which was 
made king over the realm of the Chaldeans ; 

2 In the first year of his reign, I Daniel under- 
stood by books the number of the years, Avhereof 
the word of the Lord came to ''Jeremiah the 
prophet, that he would accomplish seventy years 
in the desolations of Jerusalem. 

3 '^'^ And I set my face unto the Lord God, 
to seek by prayer and supplications, with fast- 
ing, and sackcloth, and ashes : 

4 And I prayed unto the Lord my God, and 
^.^J-^'- made my confession, and said, O "^ Lord, the 

great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant 
and mercy to them that love him, and to them 
that keep his commandments ; 

5 ' We have simied, and have committed ini- 
quity, and have done wickedly, and have re- 
belled, even by departing from thy precepts and 
from thy judgments : 

6 *■ Neither have we hearkened unto thy ser- 
vants the prophets, which spake in thy name to 
our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to 
all the people of the land. 

7 O Lord, righteousness (1 behngeth unto thee, 
but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day ; 
to the men of Judah, and to the inh.abitants of 
Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and 
that are far off, through all the countries whither 
thou hast driven them, because of their trespass 
that they have trespassed against thee. 

8 O Lord, ^ to us belongeth confusion of face, 
to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, 
because v,"e have sinned against thee. 

9 To the Lord our God '' belong mercies and 
forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against 
Km ; 

10 'Neither have we obeyed the voice of the 
Lord our God, to walk in his laws, which he 
set before us by his servants the prophets. 

11 Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, 
even by departing, that they might not obey 
thy voice ; therefore the curse is poured upon 
us, and the oath that is written in the ^ law of 
Moses the servant of God, because we have 
sinned against him. 

• 12 And he hath confirmed his words, which 
he spake against us, and against our judges 
that judged us, by bringing upon us a great 
evil : for under the whole heaven hath not been 
done as hath been done upon Jerusalem. 

13 As ^ it is v.ritten in the law of Moses, all 
Beut.M.15. this evil is come upon us ; yet t made we not

doeth : for we obeyed not his voice.

thee " renown, as at this day ; we have sinned, 
we have done wickedly. 

16 If O Lord, ° according to all thy righteous- 
ness, I beseech thee, let thine anger and thy 
fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, 
thy holy mountain : because for our sins and 
for the iniquities of our fathers, p Jerusalem and 
thy people are become a reproach to all that are 
about us. 

17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer 
of thy servant, and his supplications, ' and cause 
thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is •■ de- 
solate, for the Lord's sake. 

1 8 O my God, incline thine ear, and hear ; open 
thine eyes, and behold our desolations, and the 
city t which is called by thy name : for we do 
not t present our supplications before thee for 
our righteousnesses, but for thy great mercies. 

19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, 
hearken and do ; defer not, ' for thine own sake, 
O my God : for thy city and thy people are 
called by thy name. 

20 H And whiles * I was speaking, and praying, 
and confessing my sin, ° and the sin of my peo- 
ple Israel, and presenting my supplication be- 
fore the Lord my God ""for the holy mountain 
of my God ; 

21 Yea, whiles I yjas speaking in prayer, 
even the man ^ Gabriel, whom I had seen in 
the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly 
t swiftly, touched me about the time of the 
evening oblation. 

22 And he informed me, and talked with me, 
and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth t to 
give thee skill and understanding. 

23 At the beginning of thy supplications the 
t commandment came forth, and I am come 
to ^\e\Nthee; for thou art f greatly beloved: 
therefore understand the matter, and consider 
the vision. 

24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy 
people and upon thy holy city, || to finish the 
transgression, and || to make an end of sins, and to 
make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in 
everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision 
and t prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy. 

25 Know therefore and understand, that from 
the going forth of the commandment to restore 
and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the 
Prince, shall be seven weeks, and threescore and 
two weeks : the f street shall be built again, and 
the II wall, even in f troublous times. 

26 And after threescore and two weeks shall 
Messiah be cut off, || but not for himself: and 
the people of the prince that shall come shall de- 
stroy the city and the sanctuary ; and the end 
thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end 
of the war || desolations are determined. 

27 And he shall confirm the covenant with

C38 Darnel comforted by an ani'^ti. 

CHAP. X. 
1 Daniel havhig Iiiinihleii himself secth a ii'ision: 
10 being troubled 1x311/1 fear, lie is comforted by 
t lie angel. 

IN the third year of "Cyrus king of Persia a 
thing w iis revealed unto Daniel, whose name 
was called Belte."-hazzar; and die thing ivas ^ true, 
but the time api)()in:ed -wos 1 long : and he un- 
derstood the thing, ^and had understanding of 
the vision. 

2 In those days I Daniel Avas mourning three 
t fidl weeks. 

3 I ate no f pleasant bread, neither came flesh 
nor wine in my mouth, 'neither did 1 anoint my- 
self at all, till three whole weeks were fulfilled. 

4 And in the four and twentieth day ol the 
first month, as I amis by the side of the great 
river, which is ' Hiddekel ; 

5 Then 1 lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and 
behold, t a certain man clothed in linen, whose 
loins ivere *^ girded with fine gold of Uphaz : 

6 His Ijody also %vas like the ^ beryl, and his 
face as the appearance of "^ lightning, ' and his 
eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet 

iRcv.i. 14. like in colour to '' polished brass, and ' the voice 
kEzek.1.7. of his words like the voice of a multitude. 

7 And I Daniel " alone saw the \isidn : for 
the men that were with me saw not the vision ; 
but a great quaking fell upon them, so that they 
lied to hide themselves. 

8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this 
great vision, and there remained no strength in 
mfe : for my || " comeliness w as turned in me 
into corruption, and I retained no strength. 

9 Yet heard I the voice of his words : "and when 
1 heard the voice of his w ords, then was I in a deep \ 
sleep on my face, and my face toward the ground 

10 Ti And, behold, an hand touched me, which j 
t set me upon my knees and upon the palms of | 
my liands. 

11 And he said unto me, O Daniel, f ^ m^ii I 
greatly beloAcd, understand the words that I \ 
speak imto thee, and f stand upright : for unto 
thee am I now sent. And w hen he had spoken 
this w ord unto me, I stood trembling. 

12 Tlien said he unto me, p Fear not, Daniel : 
for from tlie first day that thou didst set thine 
lieart to understand, and to chasten thyself be- 
fore thy God, thy words were heard, and I am 
come for thy words. 

13 But *• the prince of the kingdom of Persia 
withstood me one and twent>' days : but, lo, ' Mi- 
chael, !| O'.ic of the chiefprinees, came to help me ; 
and 1 remair.ed there w idi the kings of Persia. 

14 Now I am come to make thee understand 
what shall befal thy people' in the latter days: 
' for yet die \ I /ion is lor mamj days. 

15 And when he hud spoken such words un- 
to me, " I .set my face toward the ground, and I 
became dumb. 

16 And, behold, one "like the similitude of 
the son.s of men ^ touched my lips : then I 
opened my moudi, and spake, and said unto 
him that stood befoit me, O my lord, by the 
vision my sorrow s are turned upon mc, and I 
'.^r . -. fained no strensth. 



DANIEL. 7'he ovcrthro'o) of Persia. 

17 For how can |j the servant of this my lord ch!u"i 
talk with *his my lord"? for as ibr me, straiirht- J^l*^ 
,\ ay there remained ' no strength in me, neither j pi, 
is there breath left in me. "^'''7,!!' 

IS 1 hen there came again and touched mezver.s. 
one like the appeai-ance of a man, and he 
strengthened me, 

19 And said, ' O man gi-eatlv beloved, '' fear l^'";' 
not : peace /?t'untotliee, be strong, yea,_be strong. «. =3. 
And when he had spoken unto mc, I was 
strengthened, and said. Let my lord speak ; for 
thou hast strengthened me. 

20 Then said he, KnoAvest thou wherefore I 
come unto thee ? and uoav avIU I return to fight 
* widi the prince of Persia : and w hen I anigone = ''"• ' 
forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come. 

21 But I Avill shcAv thee that Avhich is noted

The restoration ofjudah and Israel. 

THE word of the Lord that came unto 
Hosea, die son of Beeri, *in the days of 
Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Kczckiah, 
kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the 
son of Joash, king of Israel. 

2 The beginning of the word of the Lord 
by Hosea. And the Lord said to Hosea, ''Go, 
take unto thee a wife of whoredoms iuid chil- 
dren of whoredoms: 'for the land hath com- 
mitted great whoredom, departing from the 

3 So he went and took Gomer the daugli-

4 And the Lord said unto him. Call his 
name Jezreel ; for yet a litde while, ** and I will 
t avenge the blood of Jezreel upon the house of 
Jehu, and will cause to cease the kingdom of 
the house of Israel. 

5 And it shall come to pass at that day, * that 
I will break the bow of Israel in the valley of 
Jezreel.

daughter. And God said unto him, Cidl her 
name || Lo-ruhamali: for I f^vill no more have 
mercy upon the house of Israel ; || but I will ut-

Judah, iuid will save them by the Lord their 
God, and will not save them by bow, nor by

shall be ^as the sand of the sea, v.hich cannot be

her with thirst. 

4 And I will not have mercy upon her chil-

she that conceived them hath done shamefully :

them, but shall not find the?n : * then shall she 

I will go and return to my *■ first husband; 
for then ivas it better Avith me than now. 

8 For she did not know that I gave her corn,

9 Therefore will I return, and take away my 
corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the

my flax given to cover her nakedness. 

10 And no^v will I discover her f lewdness

her out of mine hand. 

11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, 
her feast days, her new moons, and her sab-

2 By shearing, and lying, and killing, and 
stealing, and committing adultery, they break

3 Thereibre ' shall the land mourn, and eveiy

for thy people are as they that stri^'e ^ with the

hath smitten, and he will bind us up. 

2 After tv.o days w ill he revive us : '^ in the

in his sight. 

3 Then shall we know, if we follo^v on

red as the morning ; and he shall come unto 
us "^ as the rain, as the latter mid former rain 
unto the earth. 

4 *[[ ^ O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee ? 

Judah, what shall I do unto thee ? for your 
II goodness is ^ as the morning cloud, and as the 
early dew it goeth a^v ay. 

5 Therefore have I hewed them by the pro- 
phets ; I have slain them by the Mords of my 
mouth: || and thy judgments are as the hght 
that goeth forth. 

6 For I desired ^ mercy, and not sacrifice ; 
and the kno"v\iedge of God more than burnt- 
offerings. 

7 But they Ij like men have transgressed the 
covenant : there have they dealt treacherously 
against me. 

8 Gilead is a city of them that work iniquity, 
a7id is II polluted with blood. 

9 And as troops of robbers wait for a man, so 
the company of priests murder in the way t by 
consent : for they commit || le\^"dness. 

10 I have seen an horrible thing in the house 
of Israel : there is tlie whoredom of Ephraimx, 
Israel is defiled. 

1 1 Also, O Judah, ^ he hath set an harvest for 
thee , ' when I returned the captivity^ of m v people.

1 A reproof of manifold sins. 11 God''s wrath 

against the people for their hypocrisy. 

WHEN I would have * healed Israel, then 
the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, 
and the t wickedness of Samaria : for they com- 
mit falsehood ; and the thief cometh in, and the 
troop of robbers t spoileth without. 

2 And they f consider not in their hearts 
that ^ I remember all their wickedness : now 
their own doings have beset them about ; " they 
are before my face. 

3 They make the king glad with their wick- 
edness, and the princes with their lies. 

4 They are all adulterers, as an oven heated 
by the baker, || u'/zo ceaseth |i from raising af- 
ter he hath kneaded the dough, until it be 
leavened. 

5 In the day of our king the princes ha\e 
made him sick f| Avith bottles of wine ; he stretch- 
ed out liis hand with scomers. 

6 For they have || made ready their heart like 
an oven, whiles they lie in Avait : their baker 
sleepeth all the night; in the morning it burn- 
eth as a flaming -fire. 

7 They are all hot as an oven, and have de- 
voured their judges; ^all their kings are fiillen : 
there is none among them that calleth unto me. 

8 Ephraiin^ ' he hath mixed himself among 
the people ; Epliraim is a cake not turned. 




9 Strangers have devoured hi.^ strength, and 
he knoweth it not : yea, grey hairs are t here 
and there upon him, yet he knoweth not. 

10 And the ^ pride of Isi-ael testifieth to his 
fiice: and they do not return to the Lord their 
God, nor see'.: him for all this. 

1 1 "iT Ephraim also is ^ like a silly dove without 
heart: thty call to Egypt, they go to Assyria. 

12 When they shall go, ^ I will spread my net 
upon them ; I will bring them down as the 
fov/ls of tlie heaven; ' I will chastise them, as 
their congregation hath heai"d. 

13 Woe unto them ! for they ha^^e fled fi-om 
me : t destruction unto them ! because they ha\-e 
transgressed against me : though '^ I have redeem- 
ed them, yet they have spoken lies against me. _ 

14 And they ha^e not cried unto me ' \\'ith 
their heart, when they hovrled upon their beds : 
they assemble themselves for corn and wine, 
and they rebel against mc. 

15 Though I II ha^-e bound and sti-engthen- 
ed their arms, yet do they imagine mischief 
against me. 

16 They return, ™ but not to t!ie Most High : 
they are" like a deceit^l bow : their princes shall 
fall by the s\vord forThe°ra§e of their tongue : 
this shall be their derision in p the land of Eg3-pt.

2 Israel shall cry unto me. My God, '^ we 
know thee. 

3 Israel hath cast o^the thing that is good : the 
enemy shall pursue him. 

4 They have set up kings, but not by me : 
they ha%e made princes, and I kncAv it not : ^ of 
their siher and their gold ha\e they made them 
idols, that they may be cut off. 

5 i Thy calf, O Samaria, hath cast thee off; 
mine anger is kindled against them : ^ how long 
%vill it be ere they attain to innocency .'' 

6 For from Israel was it also : the workman 
made it ; therefore it is not God : but the calf 
of Samaria shall be broken in pieces. 

7 For the}^ have ^ so\vn the wind, and they f^rw.ts. 
shall reap the whirlwind : it hath no || stalk : the c or, 
bud shall yield no meal ; if so be it yield, the '^^;f'"^ 
stiangers shall swallow it up. 

8 Israel is swallowed up : now shall thej' 
be among the Gentiles ^ as a vessel wherein 
is no pleasure. 

9 For they ai-e gone up to AssjTia, ^ a A\-ild ass

13 I! They sacrifice flesh /or the sacrifices of 
mine offerings, and cat It; ^but the Loud ac- 
ccpteth them not ; now will he remember their 
iniquity, and visit their sins: "they shall return 
to l''.g>"^>t. 

14 I'or Israel hath forgotten his Maker, "and 
buildeth temples; and Judah hath nuiltii-lied 
fenced cities : but I will send a fire upon his 
cities, and it shall de\our the palaces thereof. 

CHAP. IX. 
The distress and capth'ity of Israel for tlie'ir sins 
and idolatry. 
EJOICE not, O Israel, for joy, as other 
people : * for thou hast gone a w horing 
from thy God, thou hast lo\ed a ''rcwaid || upon 
every com -floor. 

2 The floor and the || wine-press shall not feed 
. them, and the new m ine shall fail in her. 

3 They shall not dwell in the^ 'Lord's land; 
but l^phVaim sliall return to Egypt, and they 

»• shall cat ''unclean things in Assjria. 

4 They shall not ofter \\'\\\Q.-of\.rings to the 
Lord, neither shall they be pleasing unto him : 
their siicrifices sliall he unto them 'as the bread 
of mourners ; all that eat^lhereof shall be pol- 
luted : for their bread ^ for their soul shall not 
come into the house of the Lord. 

5 What will ye do in the solernn day, and in 
the day of the feast of the Lor d ? 

6 For, lo, they are gone because of t de- 
struction : Egjpt shall gatlier them up, ^Memphis 



theatcncd for their impiety and idolatry. 

15 All their wickedness ^ is in Gilgal : for 
there I hated them : for the wickedness'of their 
doings I M ill dri\e them out of mine house, I 
\\ ill love them no more: lall their princes arc 
re\olters. 

16 Ejihraim is smitten, their root is dried up, 
they shall I^ar no fruit : \ea, thougli they briny 
forth, yet ^\ ill I sla\' even f the belo\ed fruit oi 
their womb. 

_ 17 My God w ill cast them aAvay, because they 

did not hearken unto him : ' and they shall be 

A\anderers among the nations. 

CHAr. X. 

Israel is reproved and threatened for their impiety 

and idolatry. 

ISRAEL is || an empty vine, he bringeth forth 
fruit unto himself: according to the mul- 
titude of his fruit he hath increased the altars; 
according to the goodness of his land they have 
made goodly f images. 

2 U Their heart is divided ; now shall they be 
found faulty : he shall f break down their altars, 
he shall spoil their images. 

3 For now they shall say. We have no king, 
because we feared not the Lord; what then 
should a king do to us ? 

4 They have spoken words, swearing falsely in 
making a covenant : thus judgment springeth up 
as * hemlock in the furrows olthe field. 

5 The inliabitants of Samaria shall fear be- 
cause of the cahes of Bcth-avcn: for the people 




«or, shall b'.irv thern : 1| f the pleasant /;A?f« for their ' thereof shall mouni over it, and || the priests

7 The days of \isitation are come, the days 
of recompence are come ; Israel shall know it: 
B the prophet is a fool, the t spiritual man is mad, 
for the multitude of thine iniquity, and the 

man of the great hatred. 

:p,r,t. g ,^,j^^ A\utehman of Ephraim ivas w ith my 

God : but the prophet is a snare of a fow ier in 
all his ways, and hatred |1 in the house of his 
God. , , 

9 They have deeply corrupted t/icmsehes, as 
in the days of ^ Gibeah : therefore he will remem- 
IxT their iniquity, 'he will visit their sins. 

10 I found Israel like grapes i-n the wilder- 
ness ; I saw your fathei-s as the first ripe in the 
fig-tree at her firbt time: but they went to 
^ Baal-pcor, and separated themselves unto ' that 
shame ; and their abominations were according 

as they loved. , , . , , „ „ 

11 As for ]-'phraim, their glory shall fly away 
like a bird, from the birth, and from the womb, 
and fiom the conception.

will I bereave them, that there shall not be a man j

because it is departed from it. 

6 It shall be also carried unto Assyria^^r a pre- 
sent to ''king Jareb : Ephraim shall receive shame, 

I and Israel shall be ashamed of his own counsel. 

7 As for Samaria, = her king is cut oH" as the

8 The high places also of Aven, the sin of Is- 
I rael, shall be destroyed : the thorn and the ihis- 
j tie shall come up on their altars ; '^ and they shall 
I say to the mountains, Cover us ; and to the hills, 

Fail on us. 

9 O Israel, thou hast sinned from 'the days 
of Gibeah : there they stood : "^ihe battle in Gi- 
beah against the children of iniquity did not 
OA'crtake them. 

10 // is in my desire that I should chastise 
them : and the people shall be gathered against 
them II when they shall bind themselves in their 
two fun-ow 6. 

1 1 And Ephraim is as an heifer that is taught, 
and loveth to tread out t/ie corn ; but I passed 
over upon her t fair neck : I will make Ephraim 
to ride ; Judali shall plough, ^7«r/ Jacob shiill break 
his clods. 

12 Sow to j'ourselves in righteousness, reap 
in mercy ; ^ break up your fallow ground : for 
it is time to seek the Lord, till he come and 
rain righteousness upon you. 

13 *'Ye have ploughed wickedness, ye have 
reaped iniquity ; ye have eaten the fruit of iies:

Israelis ingratitude for God^s mercies. CHAP. 

14 Therefore shall a tumult ai'ise among thy 
people, and all tliy fortiesses shall be spoiled, as 
Shalman spoiled ' Beth-arbel in the day of bat- 
tle : ^ the mother was daslied in pieces upon her 
cliildren. 

15 So shall Beth-el do unto you because of 
the e-Cii of t your gi-eat wickedness : in a morning ' shall the 
yoitr eiii. i^'niv of Israci utterly be cut off. 

"^^■■•^- CHAP. XL 

1 The ingratitude of Israel unto God for his bene- 
fits : 5 Their judgment. 8 God''s mercy tovjard 
them. 

WHEN Israel ivaszL child, then I loved him, 
and ^ called my son out of Egypt. 

2 As they called them, so thej' went from 
them: ^ they sacrificed unto Baalim, and burn- 
ed incense to graven images. 

3 I taught Eplii-aim also to go, ^ taking them 
by their arms ; but they kne\v not that I healed 
them. 

4 I drew them ^vith cords of a man, with bai^ids 
of love : and I was to them as they that t take 
off the yoke on their jaws, "* and I laid meat unto 
them. 

5 ^ He shall not return into the land of Egypt, 
but the Assyrian shall be his king, because iJiey 
refused ^ to return. 

6 And the sword shall abide on his cities, and , 
shall consume his branches, and de^-our them, 
because of their own counsels. 

7 And my people are bent to backsliding fi-om 
me : *■ though they called them to the Most High, 
t none at all would exalt hijn. 

8 '^ How shall I give thee up, Ephi-aim? how 
shall I deliAcr thee, Israel ? hoA\^ shall I make thee 

l^^lj- ". as ^ Admah : ho\v shall I set thee as Zeboiim ? 
Amos'4.u. mine heart is turned within me, ^ myrepentings 
h^Deut.32. m-e kindled together. 

9 I will not execute the fierceness of mine an- 
ger, I ^^ ill not return to destroy Ephraim: for I 
am God, ' and not man ; the Holy One in the 
midst of thee : and I will not enter into the city. 

10 They shall walk after the Lord : he shall 
roar like a lion : when he shall roar, then the 
children shall tremble from the v^est. 

1 1 They shall tremble as a bird out of Egj-pt, 
and ^ as a dove out of the land of Assyria : and I 
will place them in their houses, saiththe Lokd. 

12 * Ephraim compasseth me about with lies, 
and the house of Israel \vith deceit : but Judali 
yet ruleth with God, and is faithful |j with the 
saints.

2 The virgin of Israel is fallen ; she shall no

3 For thus saith the Lord God ; The city that

and that ^\•llich went forth by an hundred shall 
leave ten, to the house of Israel.

but ye shall not d\\ ell in them ; ye have planted 
t pleasant vineyards, but ye shall not drink wine 
of them. 

12 For I know your manifold transgressions

take il a bribe, "and they turn aside the poor in

1 3 Therefore ° the prudent sjiall keep silence in 
that time ; for it is an evil time. 

14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live : 
and so the Lord, the God of iiosts, shall be 
witji you, as ye ha\e spoken. 

15 ^Hate the evil, and love the good, and

Lord God concerning *'Edom; "^We 
have heard a rumour from the Lord, 
and an ambassador is sent among the hea- 
then, Arise ye, and let us rise up against her 
in battle. 

2 Behold, I ha^"e made thee small among the 
heathen : thou ait greatly despised. 

3 ^ The pride of thine heart hath deceived 
thee, thou that dMcUest in the clefts of the 
rock, "^ whose habitation is high; that saith in 
his heart, Who shall bring me down to the 
ground ? 

4 ' Though thou exalt thyself as the ea- 
gle, and though tliou set thy nest among the 
stars, thence will I bring thee down, saith the 
Lord. 

5 If '^thieves came to thee, if robbers by 
night, (how art thou cut off!) would they not 
have stolen till they had enough? if the grape- 
gatherers came to thee, ° would they not leave 
li some grapes ? 

6 How are the thi?igs of Esau searched out ! 
hoiv are his hidden things sought up 

7 All the men of thy confederacy have brought 
thee even to the border : f the men that ^\ere at 
peace with thee have deceived thee, aiidprevail- 
ed against thee ; t thej/ that eat tliy bread have 



laid a w^ound under thee : there is none under- 
standing II in him. 

8 ''Shall I not in that day, saith the Lord, 
even destroy the wise men out of Edom, and un- 
derstanding out of the mount of Esau ? 

9 And diy ' mighty 7nen, ^ O Teman, shall 
be dismayed, to the end that every one of the 
mount of Esau may be cut off by slaughter. 

10 T[ For thy ' violence against thy brother 
Jacob, shame shall cover thee, and thou shalt 
be cut off for ever. 

11 In the day that thou stoodest on the other 
side, in the day that the strangers |! cfaried away 
captive his forces, and foreigners entered into 
his gates, *" and cast lots upon Jerusalem, even 
thou ivast as one of them. 

12 But II thou shouldest not have looked on 
the day of thy brother in the day that he became 
a stranger ; neither shouldest thou have rejoiced 
over the children of Judah in the day of their 
destruction ; " neither shouldest thou have f spo- 
ken proudly in the day of distress. 

13 Thou shouldest not have entered into the 
gate of my people in ° the day of their calami- 
ty ; yea, thou shouldest not have looked on their 
affliction in the day of their calamity, nor have 
laid ha?ids on their || substance in the day of their 
calamity; 

14 Neither shouldest thou have stood in the 
crossway, to cut off those of his that did 
escape ; neither shouldest thou have [j delivered

CHAP. I. 

1 Jonah sent to Ni7ie'i'eh,Jlcct/i. to Tarshish: A- He 
is bewratjed by a tempest, 1 1 thrown into the 
sea, 1 7 and s\va//owed by a fish. 

Qi\\ the v.ord of the Lord came unto 
\ ^ Jonah the son of Amittai, sajTng, 
2 Arise, go to ^ Nineveh, that ' great 
citj', and cry against it ; for their wickedness is 
come up before me. 

3 But Jonah rose up "^to flee unto Tarshish 
from the presence of the Lord, and went down 
to* Joppa ; and he found a ship going to Tarshish : 
so h.e paid the fine thereof, and went do\\ n into 
it, to go w ith them unto Tarshish from the pre- 
sence of the Lord. 

4 \ But the Lord t sent out a great wind into 
die sea, and there w as a mighty tempest in the 
sea, so tliat the ship f ^vas like to be broken. 

5 Then the mariners were afiaid, and cried 
every man unto his g(Kl, ^ and cast forth the v. ares 
that itYvv in the ship into the sea, to lighten /"/ of 
them. But Jonah was gone down into the sides 
of the ship; and he lay, and was fast asleep. 
\ 6 So the shipmaster came to him, and said 

unto him, What meanest thou, O sleejjer? 
^ arise, ^call upon thy God, *' if so be that God 

rjocia. 14. will think upon us, that we perish not. 

7 And they said every one to his fellow. 
Come, 'and let us cast lots, that we may know 
for w hose cause diis e\ il is upon us. So they 
cast lots, and the lot fell upon Jonah. 

8 Then said they umo him, ''Tell us, we 
pray thee, for whose cause this evil is upon us? 
\\ iiat is thine occupation? and whence comest 
thou ? w hat is thy country- ? and of \\ hat people 
art thou ? 

9 And he said unto them, I nvi an Hebrew : 
and I fear the Lor d, tiie God o[ liea\en, ' which 
hath made die sea and the cby UauL^ 

10 Then were the men t exceedingly afraid,

12 .'\nd he said unto them. Take me uj), and 
cast me forth into the sea; so shall the sea be 
calm unto you : ibr I know that for my sake this 
great tempest is upon you. 

13 Ne^'ertheless the men f rowed hai'd to bring 
it to die land ; " but they could not : for the sea 
^^Tought, and was teyipestuous against them. 

14 Wherefore they cried unto the Lord, and 
said, We beseech thee, O Lord, we beseech 
thee, let us not perish for this man's life, °and 
lay not upon us innocent blood : *" for thou, O 
Lord, hast done as it pleased thee. 

15 So they took up Jonah, and cast him forth 
into the sea : and the sea t ceased from iier 
raging. 

16 Then the nicn feared die Lord exceed- 
ingly, and t offered a sacrifice unto the Lord, 
and made vow s.

4 Then I said, I am cast out of th> sight, *yct 
I will look again toward thy holy temple.

Jerusalem. 

2 t Hear, all ye people ; "= hearken, O earth,

be vv'itness against you, the Lord from his holy

3 For, behold, ^the Lord cometh forth out 
of his ^ place, and will come down, and tread 
upon the ^high places of the earth. 

4 And *^ the mountains shall be molten under 
him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax be- 
fore the fire, and as the waters that are poured 
down ta steep place. 

5 For the transgression of Jacob is all this 
and for the sin^.; of the house of Israel. What is 
the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria ^ 
and what are the high places of Judah? are they 
not Jerusalem? 

6 Therefore

G Therc-rore I Avill make Samaria ''as an ^leap

ley, and I will discf)ver the foinidations thereof. 

7 And all the graven images thereof shall be 
beaten to pieces, and all the 'hires thereof sliall 
be burned with the fire, and all the idols thereof 
will I lay desolate : for she gathered it of the hire 
of an harlot, and they shall return to the hire 
of an hiulot. 

8 Therefore " 1 will wail and howl, '1 will yo

9 Hear this, I pray j'ou, ^ ye heads of the house 
of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that 
abhor judgment, and per^^ert all equity. 

10 They build up Zion with ' f blood, and 
Jerusalem with iniquitj-.^ 

11 The heads thereof judge for 
the priests thereof teach for hire, and the pro- 
phets thereof divine for money : yet will they 
lean upon the Lp R d , f and say. Is not the Lord 
among us '? none evil can come upon us. 

12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be 
' ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become 
heaps, " and the mountain of the house as the 
high places of tlie forest. 

CHAP. IV. 
1 The glory ^ 3 peace, 8 kingdom, 11 ajid vic- 
tory of the church. 
BUT ^ in the last days it shall come to pass, 
that the mountain of the house of the Lord 
shall be established in the top of the mountains, 
and it shall be exalted above the hills ; and peo- 
ple shall flow unto it. 

. 2 Andmanynations^hallcome, andsay,^Come, 
and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, 
and to the house of the God of Jacob ; and he 
will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in 
his paths : for the law shall go forth of Zion, 
and the word of the Lord fi-om Jerusalem. 

3 ^ And he shall judge among m.any people, 
and rebuke strong nations afar off; and they 
shall beat their swords into "^ plough- shares, and 
their spears into |l pruning-hooks : nation shall 
not lift up a sAvord against nation, ^ neither shall 
they learn war any more. 

4 But ^ they shall sit every man under his vine 
and under his fig-tree; and none shall make 
t/iem afraid: for the mouth of the Lord of 
hosts hath spoken it. 

5 For all people will w^alk every one in the 
name of his God, *^and we Vv ill walh. in the name 
of the Lord our God for ever and ever. 

6 In that day, saith the Lord, will I assemble 
her that halteth, and I will gather her that is 
dri\'en out, and her that I have afdicted ; 

7 And I will make her that ^ halted a rem- 
nant, and her that \'i as cast far off a strong na- 
tion : and the Lord ^ shail reign over them iii 
mount Zion fiom hencefortn, even for ever. 

8 Tf And thou, O tower of ii the flock, the 
strong hold of the daughter of Zion, unto thee 
shall it come, e\en the first dominion ; the king- 
dom shall come to the daughter of Jerusalem. 

9 Now why dost thou cry out aloud '? ' is there 
no king in thee '? is thy counsellor perished ? "^ lor 
pangs have taken thee as a woman in travail. 

10 -Be in pain, and labour to bring forth, O 
daughter of Zion, like a \"oman in travail: for 
now shalt thou go forth out of the city, and thou 
shalt dwell in the field, ajid ihou shalt go even 
to Babjlon ; there shalt thou be deli^■ered; there 
the Lord shall redeem thee from the hand of 
thine enemies. 

11 •[[ ' Now also many nations are gathered 
against thee, that say, Let her be defiled, "" and 
let our eye look upon Zion.

2 ""Heai ye, O mountains, the Lord's con-

for the Lord hath =a controversy with his

3 O my people, '*\\hat have I done unto 
thee ? and \\ herein have I wearied thee ? testify 
against me. 

4 For I brouglit thee up out of the land of 
' Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house ol' 
ser\ants ; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, 
and Miriam. 

5 O my people, remember now \\ hat ^ Balak 
king of Moab consulted, and ^\hat Balaam the 
son of Beor answ ered him from » Shittim unto 
Gilgal; ''that ye may know the righteousness 
of the Lord. 

6 TI Wherewith shall I come before the Lor d, 
and bow myself before the high God '? shall I 
come before him with burnt-oficrings, with

7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands

shall 1 give my first-born /or my tnmsgression,

8 He hath •'shewed thee, O man, ^\hat is

GATHER yoursehes together, yea, gather

2 Before the decree bring forth, before the day 
pass '' as the chafi', before the fierce anger of the 
Lord come upon you, before the day of the

3 Seek j'e tlie Lord, all ye meek of the eaith, 
which have v.rought his judgment ; seek righte- 
ousness, seek meekness : ' it may be ye shall be 
hid in the day of the Lord's anger. 

4 *[[ For ^ Gaza shall be forsaken, and Ashke-

Philistines, I \\iil CAcn destroy thee, that there 
shall be no inhabitant. 

6 And the sea-coast shall be dwellings andcoX-

7 And the coasts shall be for & the remnant of 
the house of Judah ; they shall feed thereupon : 
in the houses of Ashkelon shall they lie down in 
the evening: j| for the Lord their God shall 
** visit them, and turn away their captivity. 

8 1i I have heard the reproach of Moab, and 
tlic revilings of the children of Ammon, ^\-here- 
bj' they have reproached my people, and mag-

9 Therefore (^s' I live, saith the Lord of hosts,

8 An exhortation to \vait for the restoration of

God. 

WOE to her that is ||_ f filthy and polluted, 
to the oppressing city 

2 She obejed not the \ oice ; she received not 

II con-ection; she ti'usted not in the Lord ; she 
drew not near to her God. 

3 * Her princes ^\'itllm her are roaring lions ; 
her judges _r/r(? evening wolves ; they gnaw not 
the bones till die morrow. 

4 Her *• prophets ai'e light and treacherous 
persons : her priests have polluted the sanctuary, 
they have done "= violence to the law. 

5 The just Lord is ^ in the midst thereof ; he 
will not do iniquity- : f eveiy morning doth he 
bring his judgment to light, he faileth not ; but 
' the unjust knoweth no shame. 

6 I have cut oS"tlie nations; their || tovrers are 
desolate ; I made their sti-eets •\\-aste, that none 
passeth by: their cities ai-e destioyed, so diat 
diere is no man, that there is none inhabitant. 

7 f I said, Surely thou wilt fear me, thou wilt 
receive instruction ; so then- dwelling should not 
be cut oiF, howsoe\er I punished them : but diey 
rose eai-ly, and coirupted all their doings. 

8 % Therefore s \vait ye upon me, saith the 
Lord, until die day that I rise up to tlie prey: 
for my detennination ^ is to gather die nations, 
that I may assemble die kingdoms, to pom- upon 
them mine indignation, even all my fierce anger : 
for all the eaith shall be de\ oured ^\idi the fii-e 
of my ' jealous}'. 

9 For dien will I turn to the people ^ a pure 
t language, diat they may all call upon the name 
of the Lord, to ser^•e him with one f consent. 

10 From beyond the riAcrs of Ethiopia my 
suppliants, even the daughter of my dispersed, 
shall bring mine oftering. 

1 1 In that day shalt thou not be ashamed for 
all thy doings, wherein thou hast ti-ansgressed a- 
gainst m.e : for then I will take aAA ay out of the 
midst of thee them that rejoice in thy pride ; and 
diou shalt no more be haught\- f because of my 
holy mountain. 

12 I will also leaAC in the midst of thee an af- 
flicted " ancl poor people, and diey shall trust in 
die. name of the Lord. 

13 The renmant of Israel shall not do ini- 
quitj', " nor speak lies ; neither shall a deceitful 
tongue be found in their mouth : for tlie\- shall 
feed and lie down, and none shall make them 
afi-aid.

1 Ilai^gai rcproveth the people for neglecting the

them therein. 

N the second year of Darius the king, in 
tlie sixth month, in the fust day of the 
month, came the \vord of the Lord f by 
Haggc)i the prophet luito Zerubbabel the son 
of Shedtiel, il governor of Judah, and to ''Jo- 
shua the son of Josedech, the high p; iest, saying, 

2 Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, saying, 
This people siiy, The time is not come, die time 
that the Lord's house should be built. 

3 Then came the word of die Lord by' Hag- 
gai the prophet, saying, 

4 Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your 
ceiled houses, and this house lie w aste ? 

5 Now therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts, 
«* ■\ Consider your ways. 

6 Ye have ' sown much, and bring in little ; 
ye eat, but ye ha\e not enough; ye drink, but 
ye are not filled ^iih drink; ye clodie you, 
but there is none wanri ; and he that ciunieth 
wages earneth wages to put it into a bag f ^vidi 
holes. 

7 If Thus saith die Lord of hosts, ^ Consider 
your wajs. 

8 Go up to the mountam, and brmg wood, 
and build the hou.se ; and 1 w ill take pleasure 
in it, and I will be glorified, saiih the Lord. 

9 e Ye looked for much, luid, lo, /'/ came to little ; 
and u hen ye brought it home, 1 did || blo\v upon 
it. \\ hy ? saith die Lord of hosts. Because of 
mine house that is waste, and ye run e\eiy man 
unto his o\\ n house. 

10 Therefore •" the heaven o\er you is stayed 
from dew, luid the earth isstayed./)o;// her fruit. 

1 1 And I called for a drought upon the land, 
and upon the mountains, andunon the corn, and 
upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon 
that w hich the ground bringeth forth, and upon 
men, and upon cattle, and upon 'all die labour 
of -the hands. 

12 •" "^ Then Zenibbabel the son of Shealtiel,

w ith all the remnant of the people, obeyed die C^!^^ 
\ oice of the Lor d their Ciod, and ' the words i v.r<> 
of Haggai the prophet, as the Lord their God '""■ 
had sent him ; and the people did fern- before 
the Lord. 

13 Then spake Haggai die Lord's messenger 
in the Lord's message unto the people, saying, 
I am with you, saith the Lord. 

^ 14 And the '"Lord stirred iip the spirit oiT6.*2?"'' 
Zenibbabel the son of Shealtiel, " governor of ^^^^p-!* 
Judah, and the spirit of Joshua the son oi" Jo- 
.sedecli, the high priest, and the spirit ol' all 
the remnant of the i^eople; " and they came and a/g"*"*

the Lord of hosts. 

10 Ti In the four and twentieth day of the 
ninth month, in the second yeai- of Darius, 
came the word of the Lord by Haggai the 
prophet, saying, 

11 Thus' saith the Lord of hosts ; ^ Ask now 
tlie priests concerning tlic law, saying, 

12 If one beai- holy flesh in the skirt of Iiis g^ir- 
ment, and v.ith his skirt do touch bread, or pot- 
tage, or wine, or oil, or any meat, shall it be 
holy ■? and the priests answered and said. No. 

13 Then said Haggai, If one that ^ is unclean 
by a dead body touch any of these, shall it be 
unclean ? and the priests answered and said, It 
shall be unclean. 

14 Then answered Haggai, and said, "" So is 
this people, imd so is this nation before me, 
saith the Lord ; and so is e\ery \vork of 
their hands ; and that which they ofler there 
is unclean. 

15 And now, I pray you, "consider from tiiis 
diiy and upward, from before a stone was laid 
upon a stone in the temple of the Lord : 

16 Since tho^e dat/s were, ° when one came

17 *^ I smote you Pwith blasting aiid v,ithp-^°^*

18 Consider nov," from tliis day and up

20 *\[ And again the word of tlie Lord came 

unto Haggai in 'the four and twentieth ^c^/ oftseev-.i

CHAP. IV. 
1 By the golden candlestick is foresheived the good 

success of Z'crnbbctbel'' sjoundation. 1 \By the two 

ol'ive-trccs the two anointed ones. 

AND the =• angel that talked with me came 
again, and \\ aked me, '' as a man that is Ava- 
kened out of his sleep, 

2 And said unto me, What seest thou ? And 
I said, I have looked, and behold, "^ a candlestick 
all of gold, t with a bowl upon the top of it, 
and his seven lamps thereon, avid || seven pipes 
u-oen it-cer- to the scvcu iauips, ■which were upon the top 
'utTimpi, thereof: 

^{;^^ , 3 And "^tuo olive-trees by it, one upon the 
12. Re'v"u. right side of the bowl, and the other upon tlie 
leit side thereof. 

4 So I answered and spake to the angel that 
taiked Aviih me, saying, What are these, my 
lord? 

5 Then the angel that talked w'ith me an- 
sweied and said unto me, Knowest thou not 
w hat these be ? and 1 said. No, my lord. 

6 Then he ansAvered aiid spcike unto me, 
saying, This is the word of the Lord unto 
Zerubbabel, saying, Not 'by j! might, nor by 
power, but by my Spirit, saith the Lord of 
hosts. 

7 Who art thou, ^ O great mountain ? before 
Zerubbabel thou shah become a plain: and he 
shall bring forth the ^ headstone thereof with 
•^ shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it. 

8 Moreover, the word of the Lord came unto 
me, saying, 

9 ' The hands of Zerubbabel have laid the 
foundation of this house; ''his hands shall also 
finish it; and thou shalt know that the Lord of 
hosts hath sent me unto you. 

10 For who hath despised the day of small 
s.or, things ? II for they shall rejoice, and shall see 
Kxin^c'fjo/the t plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel %m)i 
'Ih.i^re^^ those seven; 'they are the eyes of the Lord, 
joke. which run to and fro through the v, hole eartli.

Chap. 3.9. m What are these two olive-trees upon the right 
^* side of the candlestick, and upon the left side 
thereof ? 

12 And I answ^ered agaiii, and said unto him, 
What be these two olive-branches w'hich f through 

Impty out of the two golden pipes jj empty fthe golden oil out 
oi themselves? 

13 And he answered me and said, Know- 
est thou not what these beP And I said, No, 
my lord. 

14 Then said he. These are the two f anoint- 
ed ones, ihat " stand by the Lord of "the wlwle 
eaith.

1 By tli€ flying roll, is shewed the curse of thieves

And I answ^ered, I see a flying roll ; the length 
thereof is twenty cubits, and the breadth thereof 
ten cubits. 

3 Then said he unto me, This is '' the curse 
that goeth fortii over the lace of trie -whole 
earth : for || every one that stealeth shall be cut 
oflT as on this side according to it; and e-\ery 
one that s weareth shall be cut off as on that side 
according to it. 

4 I will bring it forth, saith the Lord of hosts, 
and it shall enter into the house of the thief, and 
into the house of him •= that sr.-eareth falselj' by 
my name : and it shall remain in the midst oi 
his house, ''and shall consume it with the tim- 
ber thereof, and the stones thereof. 

5 Ti Then the angel tlMt talked with me went 
foith, and said unto me, Wtt up noAv thine eyes, 
and see what is this that goeth forth. 

6 And I said, What is it '? And he said. This 
is an ephcih that goeth forth. He sJiid more- 
over. This is their resemblance through all the 
eaiih. ^ 

7 And, behold, there was lifted up "a |i taler.t 
of lead : ' and this is a womian that sitteth in the 
midst of the ephah. 

8 And he said. This is wickedness. And he 
cast it into the midst of the ephah ; and he cast 
the w-eight of lead upon the mouth thereof. 

9 Then lifted I up mine eyes, and looked, and, 
behold, there came out two women, and the wind 
%vas in their wings; for they had wings like the 
wings of a stork : and thej^ lifted up the epiiah 
between tlae earth and the heaven. 

10 Then said I to the angel that talked witli 
me, AVhither do these beai- the ephah ? 

1 1 And he said urito me, ^ To build it an house 
in the land of ^ Shinar : and it shall be establish- 
ed, and set there upon her oa\ n base.

1 The vision of the four chariots. 9 By the crovms 
of Joshua are shewed the temple and kingdom 
of Christ the Branch. 

AND * Iturned, and lifted up mine eyes, and 
looked, and, behold^ there came four cha- 
riots out from between t\vo motintains ; and the 
mountains were mountains of brass. 

2 In the first chariot were ^ red horses ; and m 
the second chai'iot ' black horses ; 

3 And in the third chariot '' white horses ; and 
in the fourth chariot grisled and || bay horses. 

4 Then I answered ar.d said imto the angel 
'that talked with me, What are these, my lord.'' 

5 And the angel answered and said unto me, 
These are the four ||*' spirits of tlie heaAcns, 
which go forth from ^ standing before the Lord 
of all the eaith. 

6 The black horses which are therein go forth 
intb the *" north coimtry ; and the white go forth 
after tliem ; and the grisled go forth towai'd the 
south coimtry. 

7 And tlie baj' went forth, and sought to go 
that they might ' wulk to and fro through the 
earth : and he said. Get ye hence, walk to and 
fro through the eaith. So they Avalked to an.d 
fro through the earth.

2 Behold, I will make Jerusalem a cup of 
II tiembling unto all the people round about, 
I when they shall be in the siege both against 
Judah, (7//// against Jerusalem. 

3 \ And in that day will I malce Jerusalem a 
"= burdensome stone for all people : all that burden 
themselves with it shall be cut in pieces, though 
all the people of the earth be~ gathered togetlier 
against it. 

4 In that day, saith the Lord. "^ I will smite 
everj- horse with astonishment, anci his rider with 
madness : and I will open mine eyes upon the 
house of Judah, and will smite every horse of 
the people with blindness. 

5 And tlie govemoi-s of Judah shall say in 
tlieir heart, || The inhabitants of Jerusalem 
shall be my strength in thiC Lord of hosts their 
God. 

6 IT In that day \\ill I mal:e the governors of 
Judah ^ like a hearth of fire among the wood, 
and like a torch of fire in a sheal'; and they shall 
devour all the people round about, on the right 
hand and on the left : and Jerusalem shall be 
inhabited again in her own place, ei:e7i in Jeru- 
salem. 

7 The Lord also shall save the tents of Judah 
first, that the glory of the house of David and 
the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem do not 
magnify themsehes against Judah. 

8 In that day shall the Lord defend the in- 
habitants of Jerusalem; ^and he that is ii f feeble 
among them at that day shall be as Da\'id ; and 
the house of David shall be as God, as the angel 
of the Lord before them. 

9 % And it shall come to pass in that day, ^ that 
I will seek to destroy ail the nations tliat come 
against Jerusalem. 

10 And ^ I will pour upon the house of David, 
and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spi- 
rit of grace and of supplications ; and they shall 
' look upon me \a horn they have pierced, and 
they shall mourn for him, '' as one momiielJi for 
his only soUy and shall be in bitterness for him, 
as one that is in bitterness for his first-born. 

1 1 In that day shall there be a great ' mourning 
in Jerusalem, "" as the mourning of Hadadiim- 
mon in the valley of Megiddon. 

12 And the land shall mourn, j everj^ family 
apart ; the family of the house of Da\"id apait,

A CHRONOLOGICAL LNDEX OF THE YEARS AND TIMEB 

From Adam imto Christ., 
Proved by the Scriptures, from the Collation of divers Authors- 



The sum of the years of the f<rst age. 
FROM Adam unto Noah's flood are years 

1656. 
For when Adam was 130 years old he begat 

Seth. 
Seth, being 105 years, begat Enos. 
Enos, being 90 years, begat Cainan. 
Cainan, being 70 years, begat Mahalaleel. 
Mahalaleel, being &5 years, begat Jared. 
Jared, at the age of 162, begat Enoch. 
Enoch, being 65 years, begat Methuselali. 
Methuselah, at the age of 187, begat Lamech. 
Lamech, being 182 years, begat Nm^ 
Noah, at the coming of the flcx^^^Ks 600 

years old, as appeareth in the TlJI^apter 

of Genesis. 

The whole sum of the years are^iese. 

FROM the flood of Noah unto Abraham's 

departing from Chaldea, were 422 years 

and ten days. 
For the said flood continued one whole year 

and ten days. 
Shem, (who was.Noah's son) begat Arphax- 

ad two years after that. 
Arphaxad begat Salahwhen he was 35 years 

old. 
Salah, being 30 years old, begat Eber. 
Eber, at the age of 34, begat Peleg. 
Peleg, being 30 years, begat Reu. 
Reu, being 32 years, begat Serug. 
Serug, being 30 years, begat Nahor. 
Nahor, being 29 years, begat Terah. 
Terah, being 130 years, begat Abram. 
And Abraham departed from Chaldea when 

he was 70 years old. 
These, accounted, are 422 years and 10 days. 

FROM Abraham's departing from Ur in 
Chaldea unto the departing of the chil- 
dren of Israel, are 430 years, gathered as 
followeth : 

Abraham was in Charran five years, and 
departed in the 75th year : 

Begat Isaac when 100 years old, in the 25th 
year of his departing. 

Isaac begat Jacob, when 60 years old. 

Israel was in Egypt 220 years. 

Then deduct 80 years from this ; for so old 
was Moses when he conducted the Israel- 
ites from Egypt. 



So the rest of the years, that is to say, 130, 
are divided between Amram and Kohath. 

Then Kohath begat Amram at the age of 67 
years. 

Amram being 65 years, begat Moses,, who, 
in the 80th year of his age, departed with 
the Israelites from Egj'pt. 

So this chronology is the 430 years mention- 
ed in the 12th chapter of Exodu^, "and^e 
3d chapter to the Galatians. ' ' 

FROM the going forth of the Israelites from 
Egypt, unto the first building of the tem- 
ple, are 480 years, after this chronology 
and account, - ;. 

Moses remained in the desert or wildex'ness 
40 years. 

Joshua and Othniel I'uled 40 years. 

Ehud, 80 years. 

Deborah, 40 years, 

Gideon, 40 years, 

Abimelech, 3 years. 

Tola, 23 years, 

Jair, 22 years. 

Then they were without a captain, until the 
18th }'e'ar of Jephthah. 

Jephthah, 6 years. ,^ 

Ibzan, 7 yeafs, 

Elon, 10 years. 

Abdon, 8 years. 

Samson, 20 years. 

Eli, judge and priest, 44 years. 

Samuel and Saul reigned 40 years. 

David was king 40 years, 

Solomon, in the 4t.h year of his reign, began' 
the building of the temple. 
These are the 480 years mentioned in 
the first book of Kings, chap, vi, 

FROM tKe first building of the temple, unto 
the captivity of Babylon, 'are 419 years 
and an half, 

Solomon reigned yet 36 years. 

Rehoboam, 17 years. 

Abijam, 3 years. 

Asa, 41 years. 

Jehoshaphat, 25 years. 

Jehoram, 8 years. 

Ahaziah, 1 year. 

AthalJaK, the queen, 1 years, 

Jehoash, 40 years. 



Araaziah, 29 yeat's. 

Uzziah, 52 years. 

Jehoahaz, 16 years, 

Ahaz, 16 years. 

Hezekiah, 29 years, 

Manasseh, 55 years. 

Amon, 2 years. • 

Josiah, 31 years. 

Jehoahaz, 3 months. 

Eliakim, 11 years. '' " .> 

Jehoiachin, Jechonlas, 3 months. 

.And^here beginneth the captivity of Babyloa. 

The sum of these years is 419 and Stnonths, 

JERUSAL HVI.was re-edified, and b-c^ again 
after the captivity of BabyhiMi, 70 j^ears. 

The captivity continued 70ywirs. 

The children of Israel were de^Nred the 
first year of Cyrus, 

The temple was begun to be built in the se- 
cond year of the said Cyrus, and finished 
in the 46th year, which was the 6th year 
of Darius, After that Darius had reigned 
20 years, Nehemiah was restored to liber» 
ty, and went to build the city, which was 
ianished in the 32d year of the said Dariijg* 

All the years from tlie building of the lenv 
pie again, are 26 years. 

The whole sum of years amoyntio 70. 

FROM theVcedr^g of the city, unto the 
coming pf Christ, arS|,483 years after thia 
chronology. 

It is mentioned in the 9th chapter of Daniel, 
that Jerusalem should be buLfc up again, 
and that from that time, unto me coming ck 
Christ, are 69 weeks, and every week ia 
reckoned for 7 vears, So 69 weeks amount 
to 483 years ; for, from the 32a j ear of 
Dariusj unto the 42d year of Augustus, in 
which year our Savio'ur Chris^ was born, 
are just and complete so jinany years ; 
whereupon we reckon, that from Adam 
unto Christ, are 3974 years, six months, 
and ten days; and from the birth of Christ, 
\uito this present year, is 1807. 

Then the whole sum and number of years, 
from the beginning of the world unto this 
present year of our Lord God 1807, are 
S78lyears, si.x months, and the said o<Jd 
ten days.

CHAP. I. 

1 Josias his charge to the priests and Levites. 7 A 
great passover is kept. 32 His death is much 
lamented. 34 His successors. 53 The temple, 
city, and many people are destroyed. 56 The 
rest arc carried unto Babylon. 

AND Josias held the ^ feast of the passover 
in Jerusalem unto his Lord, and offered 
the passover ""the fourteentli day of the 
first montli ; 

2 Having set the priests according to their dai- 
ly coui-ses, being arrayed in long garments, in the 
temple of the Lord. 

3 And he spake unto the Levites, the holy mi- 
nisters of Israel, that they should hallow them- 
selves unto the Lord, to set the holy aik of the 
Lord in the house that king Salomon the son of 
David had built : 

4 And said, Ye shall no more bear the ark up- 
on your shoulders : now therefore serve the Lord 
your God, and minister unto his people Israel, 
and prepai-e you "= after your families and kin- 
dreds, - 

5 According as David the king of Israel pre- 
scribed, and according to the magnificence of 
Solomon liis son : and standing in the temple ac- 
cording to the several dignity of the families of 
you tlie Levites, who minister in the presence of 
your brethren the children of Israel, 

6 Offer the passover in order, and make ready 
the sacrifices for your brethren, and keep the 
passover according to the commandment of the 
Lord which was given unto Moses. 

7 ^ And unto the people that was found there, 
Josias ga\'e thirty thousand lambs and kids, and 
three thousand calves : these things M'ere gi'S'en 
of the king's allowance, according as he promised 
to the people, to the priests, and to the Levites. 

8 Aixl Helkias, Zacharias, and i| Syelus, the 
governors of the temple, gave to the priests for 
the passover, two thousand and six hundred 
sheep, and tliree hundred calves. 

9 And Jeconias, and Samaias, and Nathanael 
his brother, and Assabias, and Ochiel, and Jo- 
ram, captains o;-er thousands, gave to the Levites 
for the pasL»ver five thousand sheep, and |i seven 
hundred calves. 

10 A\\6. when these things A\ere done, the 
priests and Levites having the unleavened bread, 
stood in very comely order according to the kin- 
dreds, 

1 1 And according to the several dignities of 
the fathers, before the people, to offer to the Lord, 
.ts it is v,ritten in the book of Moses : ^ and thus 
did they in the morning. 

4S X X 



iSChrop, 
35, 16- 



12 And they roasted the passover with fire as chriIt 
appertaineth : as for the sacrifices, they sod tliem .^""-^^^ 
in brass pots, and pans, || with a good savour, ^ ^^ ^.^^ 

13 And set them before all the people : and af- |f ^f^j?^-, 
terwards they prepai-ed for themselves, and fb. ^;2Chrof' 
the priests their brethren, tlie sons of Aai'on. ^'" ''" 

14 For the priests offered the fat until night : 

^and the Levites prepare^fcbr diem selves, and 55!!?'°" 
the priests their bi-ethren, me sons of Aaxon. 

15 The holy singers also, the sons of Asaph, 
were in tlieir order, according to the appoint- 
ment ^ of David, to wit, Asaph, Zachaiias, ano fj^i'^^}'"" , 
Jeduthun, who was ''of the king's retinue. Mafk""^ 

16 Moreover, the porters \iere at every gate ; hzch'ron. 
it was not laA\'ful for any to go fi'om liis ordinal} ^f;if; '/^^^ 
service : for their bretlii'en the Levites prepared " - 
for theixi. 

17 * Thus were the things that belonged to the 
sacrifices of the Lord accomplished in that day, 
that they might hold the passover, 

18 And offer sacrifices upon the altai- of the 
Lord, according to the commandment of king 
Josias. 

19 So the chiidi"en of Israel which were pre- 
sent ^ held the passo%^er at that time, and the feast is^&islf, 
of sweet bread seven days. 30^2'!™"" 

20 |-And such a passover was not kept in Is- i2Chron. 
rael since the time of the prophet Samuel. ^*' ^^ 

21 Yea, all the kings of Israel held not such a 
passover as Josias, and the priests, and the Le- 
vites, and the Jews, held ^^■ith all Israel that \vere 
found dwellmg at Jerusalem. 

22 ^ In the eighteenth year of tlie reign of Jo- ^^i^"""' 
sias was this passover kept. 

23 And die works of Josias were upright be- 
fore his Lord, M'itli an heart full of godliness. 

24 As for the things that came to pass in his 
time, they were \nitten in former times, con- 
cerning those that sinned, and i| did A^ickedly 
against the Lord abo^'e all people and kingdoms, 
and how they grieved him || exceedingly, so tluit i^^/v 
the words of the Lord rose up against Ismel. 

25 " Now after all thesQ|pcts of Josias, it came 
to pass, that Pharaoh the king of Eg\pt came to 
raise ^\^ar at Carchaniis upon Eupliiatcs : and Jo- 
sias went out against him.

CHRIST not regarding the words of the prophet Jeremy, 
v_!^^ spoken by the mouth of the Lord : 

29^ But joined battle with him in the plain of 

Megiddo ; and the princes came against king Jo- 

sias. 

30 Then said the king unto his servants, Car- 
ry me away out of the battle ; for I am very 
Vv'eak. And immediately his servants took him 
away out of the battle. 

31 Then gat he up upon his second chariot ; 
and being brought back to Jerusalem, died, "■ and 
was buried in his father's sepulchi^e. 

32 * And in all Jewiy they mourned for Josi- 
as ; yea, Jeremy the prophet lamented for Josias, 
and the chief men with the women made lamen- 
tation for him unto this day : and this was given 
out for an ordinance^ be done continually in all 
the nation of Israel. ^ 

33 These things are written in the book of the 
stories of the kings of Judah ; aiad every one of 
the acts that Josias did, and his glory, aiid his 
understanding in the law of the Lord, and the 
things that he had done before, and the things 
now recited, aae reported in the book of the 
kings of Israel and Judea. 

34^ And the people took Joachaz the son of 
Josias, and made him king instead of Josias his 
father, when he was twenty and thi-ee years 
old. 

35 ''And he reigned in Judea aiid in Jerusa- 
lem three months : and then the king of Egypt 
deposed him from reigning in Jerusalem. 

36 And he set a tax upon the land of an hun- 
dred talents of silver, and one talent of gold. 

37 The king of Egypt also made king Joacim 
his brother king of Judea and Jerusalem. 

38 And he bound Joacim and the nobles : but 
Zaraces his brother he apprehended, and brought 
him out of EgjTJt. 

39 Five and twenty yeai's old was ^ Joa- 
cim when he was made king in the land of 
Judea and Jerusalem ; and he did evil before the 
Lord. 

40 ^ Wherefore against him Nabuchodonosor 
the king of Babylon came up,_ and bound him 
with a chain of brass, and carried him into Ba- 
bylon. 

41 (Nabuchodonosor '' also took of the holy 
vessels of the Lord, and carried them away, and 
set them in his own temple at Babylon.) 

42 But those things that are recorded of him, 
and of his uncleannesaand impiety, are written 
in the Chronicles of tro kings. 

43 And Joacim his son reigned in his stead : 
he was made king, being eighteen years old ; 

44 And reigned but three months and 
ten days in Jerusalem, and did evil before the 
Lord. 

45 So after a year Nabuchodonosor sent and 
caused him to be brought unto Babylon with the 
holy vessels of the Lord, 

46 ' And made Zedechias king of Judea and 
Jerusalem, when he was one and twenty years 
old ; and he reigned eleven years :

Lord, and cai'ed not for the words that were spo- 
ken unto him by the prophet Jeremy from the 
mouth of the Lord. 

48 And after that king Nabuchodonosor had 
made him to swear by the name of the Lord, he 
forswore himself, *and rebelled; and hardening 'iJer-«2-3- 
his neck and his heart, he transgressed the laws 
of the Lord God of Israel. 

49 The governors also of the people and of "'• 
the priests did many things against the laws, and 
passed all the pollutions of all nations, and defiled 
the temple of the Lord, which was sanctified in 
Jerusalem. 

50 Nevertheless, the God of their fathers sent 
by his messengers to call them back, because he 
spared them and his tabernacle also. 

5 1 But they had his messengers in derision : 
and, look, when the Lord spake unto them, they 
made a sport of his prophets : 

52 So far forth, that he, ^ being wroth with his Uto!^^ 
people for their great ungodliness, * commanded sk. 
the kings of the Chaldees to come up against ^2 ^"'§\ 
them ; ' ' ^' 

53 Who slew their young men with the sword, 
yea, even within the compass of their holy tem- 
ple, and spared neither young man nor maid, old 
man nor child, among them ; for he delivered all 
into their hands. 

54 e And they took all the holy vessels of the 11^^%,^ 
Lord, both great and small, with the vessels of Jf^-^«2.i7' 
the ark of God, and the king's treasures, and 
carried them away into Babylon. 

55 As for the house of the Lord, ''they burnt hje,. j^'- 
it, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem, and i^. 
set fire upon her towers : ^ 

56 And as for her glorious things, they never 
ceased till they had consumed and brought them 
all to nought : and the people that were not slain 
with the sword, he carried unto Babylon : 

57 Who became servants to him and his chil- 
dren, till the Persians reigned, to fulfil the ' word i^f^^lj 
of the Lord spoken by the moutli of Jeremy : . loi 

58 Until the land had enjoyed her sabbaths, 
the whole time of her desolation shall she || rest 
until the full term of seventy years.

and let him go up to Jerusalem that is in Judea, 
and build the house of the Lord of Israel : for i| he 
is the Lord that dwelleth in Jenasalem. 

6 *= Whosoever then dwell in the places about, 
let tliem help him (those, I say, that ai-e his 
neighbours) mth gold, and with silver, 

7 With gifts, with horses, and with cattle, and 
other things, which have been set forth by vow, 
for the temple of the Lord at Jerusalem. 

8 ^ "^ Then the chief of the families of Judea 
and of the tribe of Benjamin stood up : the 
priests also and the Le^ites, and all they ^xhose 
mind the Lord had moved to go up, and to build 
an house for the Lord at Jerusalem, 

9 And they that dwelt round about them, and 
helped thenj in all things with siher and gold, 
with t horses and cattle, and Mith very many 
free gifts of a great number, whose minds were 
stiiTed up thei-eto. 

10 King CjTus ' also brought forth the holy 
vessels which Nabuchodonosor had canied a- 
way from Jerusalem, and had set up in his tem- 
ple of idols. 

1 1 Now when C\tus king of the Persians had 
brought them forth, he delivered them to Mi- 
thridates his treasurer : 

12 And by him they were delivered to f Sa- 
nabassar the governor of Judea. 

13 And this was the number of them : A thou- 
sand golden cups, and a thousand of sUver, f cen- 
sers of silver twenty-nine, vials of gold thiitj', 
and of silver ^two tliousand four hundred and 
.ten, and a thousand other vessels." 

14 So all the vessels of gold and of silver, which 
were carried away, were ^ five thousand four hun- 
dred threescore and nine. 

15 These were brought back by Sanabassar, 
together with them of the captivitj' , from Baby- 
lon to Jerusalem. 

16 ''But in the time of Artaxerxes kmg of 
the Persians, Belemus, and Mithridates, and 
Tabellius, and fRathumus, and Beeltethmus, and 
t Semellius the secretar>% with others that ^vere 
in commission Avith them, d\\ elling in Samaria 
and other places, wrote unto him against them 
that dwelt in Judea and Jerusalem these letters 
following : 

17 To king Artaxerxes our lord,Thy servants, 
Rathumus the stor^'-WTiter, and Semellius the 
scribe, and the rest of their council, and the 
judges that are in Celosyria and Phenice : 

18 Be it now knowmi to the lord the king, that 
the ie\ys that are come up from you to us, being 
come into Jerusalem (that rebellious and wicked 
city) do build the market places, and repair the 
walls of it, and do lay the fbmidation of the tem- 
ple. 

19 Now if this cit>- and the walls thereof be 
made up again, ' thej' w'nl not only reftise to give 
tribute, but also rebel agjir.st kings. 

20 And forasmuch as the things pertaining to 
the temple are noAV in hand, v»'e think it meet 
not to neglect such a matter, 

21 But to speak unto our lord the king, to the 



intent that, if it be thy pleasure, it may be sought 
out in the books of thy fathers : 

22 ^ And thou shalt find in the Chronicles 
what is •vM'itten concerning these things, and shalt 
understand that that city was lebeUious, ti'ou- 
bling both kings and cities : 

23 And that the Jews were rebellious, and 
raised al^^ays \\ars therein ; for the which cause 
even this city was made desolate. 

24 W^herefore no\\- we do declare unto thee, 
O lord the king, that if this citj^ be built again, 
and the \valls tliereof set up ane^v, thou shalt 
from henceforth have no passage into CelosjTia 
and Phenice. 

25 ' Then the king wrote back again to Rathu- 
mus the story-WTiter, to Beeltethmus, to Semel- 
lius the scribe, and to the'wst that were in com- 
mission, and dM-ellers in Samaria, and SjTia, 
and Phenice, after this manner : 

26 I have read the epistle vrhich ye have sent 
unto me ; therefore I commanded to make dili- 
gent search, and it hatli been found, that that 
city was from the beginning practising against 
kings. 

27 And the men therein ^vere given to rebel- 
lion and wax: " and that mightj- kings and fierce 
were in Jerusalem, who reigiied and exacted tii- 
butes in Celosj-Tia and Phenice. 

28 Now. therefore I have commanded to hin- 
der those men from building the citj-, and heed 
to be taken that there be no more done in it ; 

29 And that those wicked workers proceed no 
ftuther to the annoyance of kings. 

30 Then king Artaxerxes his letters being 
read, Rathumus, and Semellius the scribe, and 
the rest that were in commission Avith them, re- 
moving in haste towards Jerusalem with a troop 
of horsemen, and |i a multitude of people in bat- 
tle-an-ay, began to hinder the builders ; " and the 
building of the temple in Jerusalem ceased until 
the second year of the reign of Dai'ius king of 
the Persians.

Dai-ius give great gifts, aiid great things in token 
of victory : 

6 As <= to be clothed in puiple, to drink in gold, 
and to sleep upon gold, and a chariot with bri- 
dles of gold, aiid an head-tire of fine linen, and 
a chain about his neck : 

7 And he shall sit next to Dai'ius, because of 
his wisdom, and shall be called Darius his cousin. 

8 And then every one wrote his sentence, seal- 
ed it, and laid it under king Daiuus his pillow, 

9 And said that, when the king is risen, some 
will give him the WTitings ; and of whose side 
the king and the tliree princes of Persia shall 
judge that his sentence is the wisest, to him shall 
the victory be given, as was appointed ; 

10 The first wote^Vine is the strongest. 

1 1 The second wrcm, The king is the strongest. 

12 The third wrote, Women are strongest : 
But above all things, truth beareth away the vic- 

toi"y. 

13 Now when the king was risen up, they took 
their writings, and delivered them unto him, and 
so he read them : 

14 And sending forth, he called * all the prin- 
ces of Persia and Media, and the governors, and 
the captains, and the lieutenants, and the chief 
officers ; 

15 And sat him down in the || royal seat oi 
judgment ; and the wxitings were read before 
them. 

16 And he said. Call the young men, and they 
shall declare their own sentences. So they were 
called, and came in. 

17 And he said unto them,_ Declare unto us 
your mind concerning the writings. Then began 
the first, * who had spoken of the strength of 
wine ; 

18 And he said thus, O ye men, how exceed- 
ing stt-ong is wine ! it causeth all men to err that 
diink it : 

19 It maketh the mind of the king, and of the 
fatherless child to be all one : of the bondman 
aird of the fiee man, of the poor man and of the 
rich : 

20 It turneth also every thought mto *^jollity 
and mirth, so that a man remembereth neither 
sorrow nor debt ; 

21 And it maketh every heart rich, so that a 
man remembereth neither king nor governor ; 
and it maketh to speak all things by talents : 

22 And when they ai'e in their cups, they for- 
get their love both tdnriends and brethren, and 
a little after draw out swords : 

23 But, when they are firom the wine, they re- 
member not what they have done. 

24 O ye men, is not Vvine the strongest, that 
enforceth to do thus ? And when he had so 
spoken, he held his peace. 

CHAP. IV. 
1 The second dedareth the poiver of a kmg : 13 
the third the force of women, 33 and of truth. 
41 The third is judged to be ivisest, and ob- 
taineth letters of the king to build Jerusalem : 
58 He praiseth God, and sh.e%veth his brethren 
".vhat he had done. 



Apocrypha. 

THEN the * second, that had spoken of the 
strength of the king, began to say, 

2 O ye men, do not men excel in strength, 
that II bear rule over sea and land, and all things 
in them ? _ 

3 But yet the king is more mighty : for he is lord 
of all these things, and hath dominion over- them ; 
'' and whatsoever he commandeth them, they do. 

4 If he bid them make war the one against tlie 
other, they do it : if he send them out against the 
enemies, they go, and break down mountains, 
wails, and towers. 

5 They slay and are slain, and transgress not 
the king's commandment : if they get the victo- 
ry, they bring all to the king, as well the spoil as 
all things else. 

6 Likewise for those that are no soldiers, and 
have not to do with wars, '^ but use husbandry, 
when they have reaped again that which they had 
sown, they bring it to the king, and compel one 
another to pay tribute unto the king. 

7 And yet he is but one man : ^ if he command 
to kill, they kill ; if he command to spai-e, they 
spare ; 

8 If he commanpT to smite, they smite ; if he 
command to make desolate, they make desolate ; 
if he command to build, they build ; 

9 If he command to cut down, they cut down ; 
if he command to plant, they plant. 

10 So all his people and his ai'mies obey him : 
furthermore he lieth down, he eateth and drink- 
eth, and taketh his rest : 

11 And these keep watch round about him, 
neither || may any one depart, and do his owii bu- 
siness, * neither disobey they him in any thing. 

12 O ye men, how should not the king be 
mightiest, when in such sort he is obeyed ? And 
he held his tongue. 

13 ^ Then the ^ third, who had spoken of wo- 
men, and of the truth, (this was Zorobabel) began 
to speak. 

14 O ye men, it is not the great king, nor the 
multitude of men, neither is it wine that f ex- 
celleth : who is it then that ruleth them, or hath 
the lordship over them ? are they not women • 

1 5 Women have borne the king and all the 
people that bear rule by sea and land. 

16 s Even of them came they : and they nou- 
rished them up that planted the vineyaixls from 
w^hence the wine cometh. 

17 These also make garments for men ; these 
bring glory unto men ; and without women can- 
not men be. , , , 

18 Yea, and if men have gathered together gold 
ajid silver, or any other goodly thing, do they not 
love a woman wliich is comely in favour and 
beauty ? ^ . - , 

19 And letting ail those thmgs go, do they not 
gape, and even with open mouth fix their eyes 
tkst on her ; and have not all men more desire 
unto her, than unto silver or gold, or any goodly 
thing whatsoever 1

21 He sticketh not to

ther, nor counny. 

22 By this also ye must kno^v that women 
have dominion o^^er you : do ye not labour and 
toil, and give and bring all to the \^'omall ? 

23 Yea, a man taketh his sMord, and goeth 
his way to rob and to steal, to sail upon the sea 
and upon rivas ; 

24 And looketh upon a lion, and goeth in the 
darkness ; and when he hath stolen, spoiled, and 
robbed, he bringeth it to iiis love. 

25 ^ Wherefore a maw lo\'eth his wife better 
than father or mother. 

26 Yea, many there be that have [j run out of 
their wits for v.omen, and become servants for 
theii' sakes. 

27 Many also have ' perished, have erred,"" and 
simied, for \^"omen. 

28 And now do ye not believe me ? is not the 
king great in his po%ver ? do not all regions fear 
to touch him r 

29 Yet did I see him and Apame the king's 
concubine, the daughter of the admirable || Bai'- 
tacus, sitting at the right hand of the king, 

30 And taking the crown from the king's head, 
and setting it upon her owii head ; she also stiiick 
the king with her left hand : 

31 And yet j| for all this, the king gaped and 
gazed upon her v.ith open mouth : if she laugh- 
ed upon him, he laughed also : but if she took any 
displeasure at him, the king was tain to flatter, 
that she might i| be reconciled to him again. 

32 O ye men, how can it be but women should 
be strong, seeuig they do thus ? 

33 Then the king and the princes looked one 
upon another : so he began to speak of the " truth. 

34 O ye men, are not women strong .'' great is 
the earth, high is the heaven, swift is the sun in 

«/fc"*^' his course, * for he compasseth the heavens round 
about, and fetcheth his course again to his oMn 
place in one day. 

35 Is he not gi'eat that maketh these things ? 
therefore great is the truth, and sti'onger than all 
things. 

36 All the earth || calleth upon the truth, and 
the heaven blesseth it : all works shtike and ti-em- 
ble at it, and with it is no unrighteous thing. 

37 Wine is wicked, the king is ^vicked, wo- 
men are wicked, all the children of men are \\ick- 
ed, and such are all their wicked M'orks ; and 
there is no truth in theni ; in tlieir unrighteous- 
ness also they shcill perish. 

38 As for the ti'uth, ^it endureth, and is always 
strong ; it liveth and conquereth for evermore. 

39 With her there is no accepting of persons 
or rewards ; but she doeth the tilings that are 
just, and refraineth from all unjust and wicked 
things : and ail men do well like of her works. 

40 Neither in her judgment is any unrighteous- 
ness : and she is the strength, kingdom, power, and 
majestj- of all ages. Blessed be the ■» God of truth. 

41 And w ith that jie held his peace. And all the 
people then shouted, and said. Great is truth, and 
mighty above all things.

47 But Avhen the se\enth month was at hand, 
and when the children of Israel were e\-ery man 
in his own place, they came all together Avith one 
consent into the open place of the first |i gate 
which is toAvards the east. 

48 Then stood up Jesus the son of ^ Josedec, 
and his brethren the priests, and Zorobabel the 
son of Salathiel, andhis brethren, and made ready 
the altar of the God of Israel, 

49 To offer burnt- sacrifices uppn it, according 
as it is expressly commanded in the book of 
Moses the man of God. 

50 And there were gathered unto them out of 
the odier nations of the land, and they erected 
the altar upon his own place, because ail the na- 
tions of tlie land were at enmity Avith them, and 
oppressed them ; and they ofiered sacrifices ac- 
cording to the time, and burnt-offerings to the 
Lord both morning and evening. 

51 ' Also they held the feast of tabernacles, 
'^ as it is commanded in the law, and offered sa- 
crifices daily, as vras meet : 

52 And after that, the !| continual oblations, 
and the sacrifice of the sabbaths, and of the new- 
moons, and of all hoiy feasts. 

53 And all they that had t made any \ow to 
God iDCgan to oft'er sacrifices to God, from the 
first day of the seventh month, '_ although tlie 
temple of the Lord was not yet built. 

54 And they gave unto the masons and cai-- 
penters monej', meat, and diink, with cheer- 
fulness. 

55 Unto them of Zidon also and Tatc they 
gave cai's, ^ that they sliould bring cedar trees 
from Libanus, which should be brought by floats 
to the haA-en of Joppe, according as it Avas com- 
manded them by Catus king of the Persians. 

56 And in the second year and second moiith 
after liis coming to the temple of God at JeiTisa-

Jesus the son of Josedec, and their brethren, and 
tlie priests, and the Le\dtes, and all they tliat were 
come unto Jenisalem out of the captivity : 

57 And they laid the foundation of the house 
of God in the first day of the ' second month, in 
the second year after they AA^ere come to Jewrj'" 
and Jerusalem. 

58 II And they appointed the Levites fi-om 
tAventy years old OA'er the works of the Lord. 
Then stood up Jesus, and liis sons and bretliren,

Lord at J erusalem ; and from that time to this be- 
ing stiil a building, it is not yet fully ended. 

21 Now tiiertibre, if it seem good unto the 
king, let search be made among the || records of 
* khig CvTus : 

22 And if it be foimd that the building of the 
house of the Lord at Jemsalem hath been done 
with, the consent of kii.g-Cjiais, aiad if our lord 
the king be so minded, let him signify unto us 
thereof. 

23 '' Then commanded king Darius to seek a- 
mong the records at iidbylon : and so at Ecba- 
tana the palace, w liich is in the countt y of Me- 
dia, there was lound a ji roll wherein these things 
were recorded. 

24 "- in the first j'ear of the reign of Cjtus, 
king Cyius commanded that the house of the 
L-ord at Jerusaiein should be built again, where 
they do saciirice with continual fire : 

25 \\ hose height shall be sixty cubits, and 
the breadth sixty cubits, with three rov, s of heA', n 
stoiies, and one row^ of new wood of that 
countiy ; and the expenses thereof to be given 
out of the house of king Cyrus : 

26 ^ And that the holy vessels of the house of 
the Lord, bodi of gold and silver, tliat Nabucho- 
donosor took out of the house at Jerusalem, and 
brought to Eabj'lon, should be restored to the 
house at Jerusalem, and be set in the place w^here 
they were before. 

27 And also he commanded tliat Sisinnes the 
governor of S}Tia and Phenice, and Sathrabuza- 
n'^s, and their companions, and those that were 
appointed rulers in Syria and Phenice, should be 
careflil not to meddle with the place, but suffer 
^ Zorobabel, the servant of the Lord, and gover- 
nor of Judea, and the elders of the Jews, to build 
the house of the Lord in that place. 

28 I have commanded also to ha^-e it built up 
whole again ; and that they look diligently *' to 
help those that be of the captivity- of the lews, 
till the house of the Lord be finished : 

29 And out .of the tiibute of Celosjaia and 
Phenice, a portion carefully to be given these 
men for the sacrifices of the Lord, that is, to 
Zorobabel die governor, for bullocks, and rams, 
and lambs ; 

30 And also com, salt, Avine, and oil, and that 
continually e^ery yeai* without further question, 
according as the priests that be in Jerusalem shall 
signify to be daily spent : 

31 That II offerings may be made to the most 
high God, ^ for the king, and for his childien, 
.aid that they may pray for their lives. 

32 And he commanded ^ that Avhosoever should 
transgi-ess, yea, or make light of any thing afore 
spoken or wiiiten, out of his own house should 
a tree be taken, and he thereon be hanged, and 
all his goods seized ibr the king. 

33 The Lord, therefore, whose name is there 
called upon, utterly destroy every king and 
nation that stretcheth out his hand to hin- 
fler or endamage that house of the Lord in Je- 
rusalem.

THEN ^ Sisinnes the governor of CclosjTia f ej,«,^ 
and Phenice, and Sathi-abuzanes, with th 
companions, foUowmg the comm.andments ol 
king Darius, 

2 Did very carefully oversee the holy works, ' 
assisting the ancients of the Jews and gOA'emors 
of the temple. 

3 And so the holy works prospered when''Ag- *> ""-s- '• 
geus and '^ Zacliaiias the prophets prophesied, czech.n., 

4 And they finished these things by the com- 
mandment of the Lord God of Israel, and with 

li the consent of Cjtus, Dai'ius, and Aitaxerxes, l^^'J^'^ 
kings of Persia. _ _ sis^ 

5 And thus "uas the holy house finished in

6 And the childix-n of Israel, the priests, and 
the Levites, and others that were of the captivi- 
ty, that were added unto them, did "^ according to^^see|xoi. 
the things WTitten in the book of Moses. 9.19; 

7 And to the dedication of the teni^ple of the 
Lord, they offered an hundred ^ buUocks, tAvo l^^^^' ' 
hunch-ed rams, four huncted lambs ; 

8 And tweh"e goats for the sin of all Israel, 
according to the number of the il chief of theii*^'''"''^^'-

9 The priests also and the Levites stood ar- 
rayed in their vestments, according to their + kin- + Heb.^r. 
dreds, in the senice of the Lord God of Israel, Ezr're^'is. 
according to the book of INloses : and the porters 

at every gate. 

10 And the children of Israel || tliat \^-cre oil^^.'ffjf^

the Levites A\~ere ' sanctified. f Ezra 6,20., 

11 They that were of the captivity were not all 
sanctified together : but tlie Levites were all sanc- 
tified together. 

12 And so they offered the passoverfor all them 
of the captivitj-, and for their bretliren die priests. . 
and for themselves. 

13 And the cliildi'en of Israel that came out of 
the captivity did eat, even all they that had sepa-

people of the land, and sought the Lord.

me, whilst I mouraed for tiie iniquity : but I sat 
still full of hea\iness until the ■'evening sacrifice. 

73 Then rising up from the fast, w iUi my 
clotlies ajid the holy gaiment rent, and bowing 
my knees, and sti-etching foilJi my hands unto 
the Lord, 

74 I said, O Lord, ' I ani confounded and a- 
shamed belbre thy face ; 

75 For our sins H aie multiplied abo^•e our 
heads, and our ignorances lia\ e reached up unto 
heaven. 

76 For ever since the time of " our fathers, we 
have been, and arc in great sm, even unto this 
day. 

77 And for our sins and our fadiers' we widi 
our brethren, ajid our kings, and our priests, 
were " given up unto the kings of the earth, to 
tb.e s\\ ord, and to captivitj', and for a prey, w ith 
sluinie unto this day. 

78 And now in some measiu'c hath mercy 
Ix^cn shewed unto us from thee, O Lord, that 
there should be left us a root and a name in the 
place of tliy sanctuaiy ; 

79 And to discover unto us a light in the house 
of the Lord our God, and to give us f food in 
the time of our scr\itude. _ 

80 Yea, when we were in bondage, we \\ere 
nf)l forsaken of our Lord ; ° but he made us gra- 
cious before tlie kings of Persia, so that tiiey gave 
us food ; 

8 1 Yea, and honoured die temple of our Lord, 
and raised up the desolate Zion, that they have 
given us a sure abiding in Jewrv' and Jerusiilem. 

82 And now, O Lord, whatshiill v\e say, ha^- 
jng tliese things ? for we ha\e transgressed thy 
rr)ii)niandn)ents \\hich thou gavest by the hajid 
( )f th\" servants die prophets, siiying, 

83' 'i'hat the land w hich ye enter into to pos- 
sess as an heritage, is a land ^ polluted with the 
pollutions of the strangers of the land, and they 
have filled it with their uneleanness. 

84 Therefore now shall ""ye not join your 
daughters unto their sons, neither shall ye take 
their daiighters unto jour sons. 

85 Moieover, ye shall never seek to have 
peace v ith them, that ye may Ix: strong, and eat 
the good tilings ol' the land, and that ye niay leave 
the inheriliince of the land unto your children for 
evemiore. 

86 And all diat is Ix'fallcn, ""is done unto us 
for our w icked works, and great sins ; for diou, 
O Lord, didst make our sins light, 

87 .Viid didst give unto us sucli a root ; but 
we haA e turnerl back iigain to tnuisgress thy law, 
and to mingle ourselves \\ ith the uneleanness ol 
the nations of die land. 

83 II Mightcst notiliou be angr>- with us to de-

CHAP. III. 

Esdras is troubled, 13 and acknovjkdgeth tfie 
sins of the people : 28 yet comphineth that the 
heathen ivere lords over tliem^ being, more wick- 
ed than they. 

N the thirtieth year after *die ruin of die 
cit>-, I was in Babylon, and lay tioubled up- 
on my bed, and my dioughts came up over my 
heiirt : 

2 For I saw^ the '' desolation of Sion, loid the 
wealth of them that dwelt at Babylon. 

3 And ' my spirit was sore moxed, so that I 
•xrgan to speak words full of fear to die most High, 
luid said, 

4 O Lord, who bearest rule, thou spakcbt 
at the beginning, w hen thou dicLst plant the earth, 
(and that thjself alone) and commandedst the 
people, 

5 ^ And ga^■est a body unto Adam without 
■soul, w hicli w as the w orkmanship of thine hands, 
.ind didst breathe into him the breath of life, ' and 
iie A\as made li\ing Ijefore thee. 

6 And ^ thou leddest him into paradise, w hieh 
chy right hand had planted, before ever the eai th 
came forA\iud. 

7 And inito him diou ga\est commandnicr.t 
to lo\e thy ^^'ay : w-hich he transgressed, and 
immediately thou ^ appointedst deadi in him and 
in his generations, of whom came nations, tribes, 
people, and kindreds, out of nuriibcr. 

8 ** And every people w alkecl af:er their own 
wUJ, and did wonderful diings before thee, and 
dCTpised thy commandments. 

9 ' And again in process of time thou brought- 
est the flood upon those diat dwelt in the world, 
^ and destroyedst them. 

10 And it came to pass in eveiy of them, diat 
as death was to Adam, so was tlie flood to 
these. 

11 Nerertlieless, one of them thou lefti:st, 
namely, 'Noiili with his household, of whom 
came all righteous men. 

12 And it happened that when they that dw elt 
upon the earth began to multiply, and had gotten 
:hem many childi-en, and weie a great people, 
" diey begiui again to be more ungodly lliari the 
first. 

13 Now when they li\ed so w icked.y Ixlore 
thee, " thou didst choose thee a man from anioi.g 
them, ^\hose name was "Abraham. 

14 Him thou lovedst, and unto him only diou 
shewedst thj- w ill : 

15 P And madest an everlasting covenant wuh 
him, promising him diiit duju wouldest never 
fonvike his seed. i ^ 

16 •» And unto him thou ga\est I-.a.c, or.d 
■"unto Isiiae also thou gavest Jacob iiiid Lsau. 
As for Jacob, thou ' didst choose l.im to thee, 
and put by Esau : and so Jacob beeauie a g^eai 
multitude. 

17 And it came to pass, th;il when thou led- 
dest his seed out of I'^gjpt, * iliou broughtest 
them up to the mount Siiiai :

mildest the depths to tremble, and troubledst the 
men of that age. 

19 And thy glory \vent tlirough four gates, of 
*» fire, and ot '^ earthquake, and of wind, and oi 
cold ; that thou mightest give the law unto the 
seed of Jacob, i| and diligence unto the genera- 
tion of Israel. 

20 And yet took est thou not a^vay from them 
a wicked heart, that thy law might, bring forth 
fi-uit in them. 

21 For the first Adam bearing a vvicked heait 
" ti-ansgressed, and was overcome ; ^ and so be 
ail they that are bom of him. 

22 Thus infirmity was m.ade permanent ; and 
the law (also) in the heait of the people w ith the 
malignity of the root ; so tliat the good depiirted 
away, and the evil abode still. 

23 So the times passed away, and the years 
were brought to an end : ^ then didst thou raise 
thee up a servant, called David : 

24 * Whom thoti commandedst to build a city 
unto thy name, and to offer incense and obla- 
tions unto thee therein. 

25 When this was done many years, then they 
that inhabited the city forsook thee, 

26 Aiid in all things did even as '' Adam and 
all his generations liad done : for they also had a 
wicked heart : 

27 *= And so thou gavest thy city over into the 
hands of thine enemies. 

28 Are their deeds then any better that inhab- 
it Babylon, that they should therefore have the 
dominion over Sion ? 

29 For w hen I came thither, and had seen im- 
pieties without number, then my soul saw many 
evil-doers in this thirtieth year, so that my heart 
failed me. 

30 ** For I have seen how thou sufferest them 
sinning, and hast spared wicked doers ; * and hast 
destroyed thy people, and hast preserved thine 
enemies, and hast not signified it. 

31 II I do not remember how this way may be 
left : Are they then of Babylon better tlian they 
of Sion ? 

32 *■ Or is there any othfer people that knoweth 
thee beside Israel ? or what generation hath so 
believed thy covenants as Jacob ? 

33 And yet their reward appeareth not, « and 
their labour hath no fruit : for I have gone here 
and there through the heathen, and I see that 
they II floAv in wealth, and think not upon thy 
commandments. 

34 W^eigh thou therefore our wickedness now" 
in the balance, and theirs also that dwell in the 
world ; and so shall tliy name no where be found 
but in Israel. 

35 Or w hen was it that they ^ which dw^ll up- 
on the eai-th have not sinned in thy sight ? or 
w hat people hath so kept thy commandments ? 

36 Thou shalt find tliat ' Israel by name liath 
kept thy precepts ; but not the heathen.

3 Then said I, Yea, my lord. And he an-

unto me, Go thy way, weigh me the weight of 
the fire, or measure me the blast of tlie w ind, or 
call me again the day that is past. -^

able to do that, that thou shouldest ask 
things of me ? 

7 And he said unto me. If I should ask thee 
how great dw^ellings are in the ' midst of the sea, e ps. vn. 
or how many springs are in the beginning of the *^~*^' 
deep, or how many springs ai'e aboAC the firma- 
ment, or w-hich are the out- goings of pai'adise : 

8 Peradventure thou wouldest say unto me, 
\ I never went down into the deep, nor as yet 
into hell, neither did I ever climb up into hea- 
ven. 

9 Nevertheless now have I asked thee but on- 
ly of the fire and wind, and of the day where- 
thi'ough thou hast passed, and of things from~ 
w^hich thou canst not be separated, ^ and yet g?'-"- 22. 
canst thou give me no answer of them. prov.30.2. 

10 He said moreover unto me. Thine own 
things, and such as are grown up with thee, canst 
thou not know ; 

11 How should thy vessel then be able to 
comprehend the way of the ^ Highest, and the \^'^J ^• 
world being now^ out\vardly coiTupted, to un- 
derstand the II con-uption that is evident in my » O"^-. '«:(»- 
sight? _ _ "''""• 

12 Then said I unto him. It were better that 
w^e w'ere not at all, than that we should live still 
in wickedness, and to suffer, "'and not to know w^/'* 
wherefore. 

13 He answered me, and said, I went into a 
forest into a plain, ^ and the trees took couiiSei, 8.J2"cto.& 

14 And said. Come, let us go and malce w ar si. is. 
against die sea, that it may depart away before 
us, and that we may make us more w-oods. 

15 The floods of the sea also in like manner 
took counsel, and said, Come, let us go up and 
subdue the ^^ oods of the plain, that there also we 
may make us another countiy. 

16 The thought of the wood was in * vain, for ifw.^*" 
the fire came and consumed it. 

17 The thought of the floods of tlie sea came 
likewise to nought, ""for the sand stood up and ^^""i^** 
stopped them. 

18 If thou wert judge now betwixt these two,

wouldest thou condemn ?

19 I answered and said. Verily it is a fool- 
ish thought that they both have demised, for 
II the yroiind is given unto tlie \\fx)d, and the sea 
also hath his place to bear his || floods. 

20 Then ans\\ercd he me, and said, Thou 
hast gi^^cn a ricfht judginent, " but \\hy judgest 
thou not thyself also ? 

21 for like as || the ground is given unto the 
\\ood, and the sea to his floods : even so they 
that d\\xll abo e die eailh may understand no- 
thing but that w hich is upon the earth : ' and he 
that dwelkth upon tb.c heavens may only under- 
stand the things that :ire abo\'e tlie height of the 
heavens. 

22 Then answered I, and said^ I beseech tliee, 
O Lord, P let me have undersUmding : 

23 For it wao •> not my mind to be curious of the 
high things, but of such lus pass by us daiJy, 
namely, wherefore Israel is given up as a re- 
proach tQ the iicathen, and for what cause the 
people whom thou hast loved is given o\er unto 
ungodly nations, and w h>- the Vaw of our forefa- 
thers is brought to nought, and the written ' co- 
A cnants come j| to none effect, 

24 And ^^■e pass away out of the world ' as 
grasshoppers, and our life is astonishment and 
fear, and \^■e aie not worthy to obtain mercj" ? 

25 What will he then do unto his name where- 
by we are called ? of these things luue I asked. 

2G Then answered he me, and said, The more 
thou scarchest, the morediou shalt maj\cl : Mbr 
the w orld hasteth fast to pass awa\', 

27 And ° cannot comprehend the things that 
are promised to the righteous in time to come ; 
* for this \v orld is full of unrighteousness and in- 
fjiTuities. 

28 But as concerning the things whereof thou 
a.skest me, I will tell thee ; for the e^•il is sown, 
but the destruction thereof is not yet come. 

29 If therefore that which is sow n be not turn- 
ed upside down, and if the place w here the e\ il 
is sown pass not a\\ay, then cannot it come that 
is sown with good. 

30 ^ I'or the grain of evil seed hath been s(>wni 
in the heart of Adam fioni the beginning, and 
how much ungodliness hath it brought up unto 
this time r and how much shall it yet bring fortli, 
until the || time of direshnig come .' 

31 Pondir now b\' thyself, how great fruit of 
wickedness * the gi-ain of evil seed hath brought 
forth. 

32 And when the ears shall be cut doAvn, 
which are without number, how great a floor 
skill they fill ? 

33 Then I answered and said, How, and when 
shall these things come to pass ? wherefore arc 
our years " few and v\\\ ? 

34 And he answ ered me, sa\ ing, Do not thou 
hasten abo\e die Most '' Highest : loi- thy haste is 
in vain to be above him, for thou hast much ex- 
ceedtil. 

33 Did not the souls also of the righteous ask

37 By measure hath he measured "^ the times,

and he doth not move nor stir diem, until die 
said measure be fulfilled. 

38 Then answered I and said, O Lord that 
beiu-cst rule, e\'en v.e iill lue full of impiety. 

59 •* And for our sakes perad\enture it is tliat 
the floors of the righteous are not filled, because 
of die sins of them that dwell upon die earth. 

40 So he answered me, and said. Go thy way 
to a woman with child, and ask of her when she 
hadi fulfilled her nine months, " if her womb 
may keep the birth any longer \\ ithin her. 

41 Then said I, No, Lord, that can she not. 
And he said unto me, hi the gi-avethe chambers 
of souls are like the womb of a woman : 

42 For like as a woman diat tra\'aiklh maketh 
haste to escape the necessity of thetia\ail, ' even 
so do these places haste to deli\er those things 
that are committed unto them. 

43 From die beginning, look, what thou de- 
sirest to see, it shall be shewed thee. 

44 Then answered I and said, * If I have found 
favour in thy sight, and if it be possible, and if 1 
be meet therefore, 

45 Shew me then whether there be more to 
come than is past, or more past than is to come. 

.46 What is past I know, ** but what is for to 
coime I know not. 

47 And he said unto me. Stand up upon the 
right side, and I shall expound the similitude 
unto thee. 

48 So I stood, and saw, and liehold, an hot 
' buming oven passed by before me : and it hap- 
pened, that w hen the flame was gone by I looked, 
and behold, the smoke remained still. 

49 After this there passed by before me a ^ wa- 
try cloud, and sent doAvni much rain \vith a storm ; 
and A\ hen the stoniij- rain was past, the diops re- 
mained still. 

50 Then said he unto me. Consider w ith thy- 
self; as the rain is more than the drops, ;uid as 
the fire is greater than the smoke ; but the drops 
and the smoke remain behind : so die || quantity 
which is past did more exceed. 

5 1 Then I jirayed, and said, ' May I live, think- 
cst thou, imtil diat dme? or || what shall happen 
in those days ? 

52 He answ ered me, and .said, As for die to- 
kens whereof thou askcst me, I may tell diee of 
them in part : but as touching thy life, I am not 
sent to shew thee; '" for I do not know it.

34 And I said, No, Lord : but of A'ery grief

44 Then answeied he me, mid said, The crea- 
ture jnay not haste above the maker ; neither 
may the a\ orld hold them at once that shall be 
created therein. 

45 And I said. As thou hast said unto thy ser- 
^^lt, that tliou which ^ gi\ est life to all, hast 
given life at once to the creature that thou hast 
created, and the creature baie it: even so it 
might PiOw also be-ar them that now be present 
at once. 

46 And he siiid unto me, Ask the womb of a 
woman, and say unto her. If thou bringest foith 
children, why dost thou it not together, but one 
after ariother .' pray her therefore to bring forth 
ten children at once. 

47 And 1 -said. She caimot : but must do it by 
distance of time. 

48 Then said he unto me. Even so have I 
giA en the womb of the earth to ^ those that be 
sowTi in it in their times. 

49 For like as a young child may not bring 
f(;rth the things that belong to the aged, even so 
have I disposed the world which I created. 

50 And 1 asked, and siiid. Seeing thou hast 
now given me the way, I will proceed to speak 
before thee : tor ^ our mother, of whom thou hast 
told me tliat she is young, draweth now nigh un- 
to age. 

51 He answered me, and said. Ask a woman 
tluit beareth children, and she shall tell thee. 

52 Sa> unto her, Wherefore are not they whom 
thou hast now biought fonh, like those tliatwere 
belbre, ^ but less ol stature ? 

53 And she shall answer thee, They that be 
lx)rn in the ''.strength of youth iue of one fashion, 
and the\ that are bom in the time of age, when 
the womb faileth, are otlierAv ise. 

54 Consider thou therefore also, how that j'e 
arc less of stature dian diose that were before 
you. 

55 .\nd so are they that come after you less 
than yi-, as the creatures \\ hieh ri<jw ' Ixgin to 
be old, aittl have piissed o\er tlie sUengtli ol

50 'nien said I, Lord, I beseech thee, if Iha\e

whom thou vlsilesl ihy creature.

8 And he said unto me. From Abraham unto 
Isjiac, when Jacob and Ksau were bom of him, 

' Jacob's hand held || first the heel of Esiai. iGcn.25. 

9 For Esau is the end of die world, and Jacob "or, /r«»

10 The hand of man is betwixt die heel and "'

silence were on eveiy side ; " tlie sound of man's ^ '^^•"-- - 
voice was not yet formed. 

40 Then commandtdst thou a fair ^ light to iGer.i.^ 
come forth of diy ti-easures, thiit thy vrork might 
appeal'. 

41 Upon the second day thou i;iadest the spi- 
rit of the '^firmament, and com'-iandedbt it/to ^^^g'- ^• 
paii; asunder, and to make 9.-' division betwixt /c^n',. 7, 
the waters, that the one voi t might go up, ard 

the other remain benc-tU. 

42 Upon the thi'-'T: day thou didst coniniand ' 

that the^\-aters should be "' gathered in the _se- ^Gen.i.?, 
ventli part of the eaith : six piuts hast thou diied 
up, and kept them, to the intent that_ of these

43 For as soon as thj' word went forth, the

done the third day.

that it should bring forth living creatures, fov.'ls

48 For the dumb Mater and without life

50 And didst separate the one fi'om the other : 
for the se^-enth part, namely, Avhere the ^i-ater

5 1 Unto Enoch thou gavest one part, -which 
was dried up the third day, that he should dMcll

4 The way is narroiv. 12 JV/icn it was tnadc nar- 
rows. 28 All shall die ^anS rise again. 33 Cltrisi 
shall sit ill jiidgiucnt. 46 God hath not made 
paradise in vain : 62 He is merciful. 

>sD when 1 had njade an ei.d of speaking 
these words, there was sei.t unto me the 
astechap. a angel w luch had been sent unto me the niglu^ 
iilbre : 

2 And he said unto me, Up, Esdras, and hejir 
the words that I am come to tell thee. 

3 And I said, '' Speak on, m>- God. Then said 
he imto me. The sea is set in a w ide place, Uiat 
it might be deep and ■= great, 

4 But put die case the entrance ^\•cre nairow, 
and like a river: 

5 \\ ho then could go into the sea to look up- 
on it, and to rule it ? if he went not thiough the 
mirrow, how could he come into the broad? 

6 There is also another thing; A city is build- 
ed, and set upon a broad field, '^ and is full of all 
goo<l diir.gs: 

7 The enti'ance thereof is naiTOA\", and is set 
I Or, itetp in a 11 dangerous place to fall, like as if there w ere a 

fire on the right hcUid, and on ihc left a deep 
water : 

8 And ' one only path between them both, even 
between the fire and die water, .w .y ///</// that there 
could l)ut one man go there at once. 

9 If this city now were given unto a man for 
an inheritiuice, if he never sluill pass the danger 
set belore it, how shall he receive this inhe- 
ritance ? _ 

10 And I said. It is so, Lord. Then said he 
fsajohn unto nic, *^ I'Acn so also is Israel's portion. 
ie.3j. ^^ Because for their sakes I made the world : 
n Gen. 3. 6. and when Adam « transgressed my statutes, then 

was decreed tliat now is done. 

12 Then were the eritrances of diis world 
made nanow,'' full of sorr(nv and tra\ail: they 
are but few and evil, full of perils, and very pain- 
ful. 

13 For the entrances of the || elder world were 
w ide and sure, and brought inmiortal fruit. 

11 If then tney thut live labour not to enter 
these strait and vain things, ' they can never re- 
ceive those that are laid up lor them. 

13 Now tlierefore why disciuietest thou thy- 
self, seeing thou ait but a corniptible man? and 
r<5r.4. ;vhy iul thou moved, ^ wheieas thou iut but 
moi tal ?

17 Then answered I, and said, O Lord that 
' :earest iii.e, thou h.ist oiduined in thy • law, that 

' le I ighieous shoii'd inherit these diiiigs, but diat 
he ung'xliy should |xii.-,h. 

18 NeA'eilheless, "^ the righteous shall suffer 
, trait things^ and hope for w idt , lor they that 
have done wickedly have suffered the staiit tilings, 
..nd yet shall not see the w ide. 

19 And he Siiid unto m( , ° Tliere is no judge 
>bove God, and none that liaiii uiidtrot.inding 
ibove the Highest. 

20 For there be many that perish in this life, 
because t!iey despise the law ol God tliiit is set 
before them. 

21 For God h.ith given strait commandment 
to such as ciuiie, " w hat they shouid do to live, 
even as tliey came, and wliattlie>' should obsene 
to avoid punishment. 

22 Neveitliele^>s, they were not obedient unto 
him; liut spake iigainst him, and inuigined vain 
things ; 

23 And deceived themsehes by their wicked 
deeds ; and said oi tiie Most High, '' that he is 
not; ^ and knew not his ways : 

24 But his law ha\e they despised, and deni- 
ed his eoA'enants ; in his sUitutes ha\e diey not 
been faitlilul, and ha\e not ixifbi nied his works. 

25 -\nd tlKieiore, Esdras, *■ lor the emjity 
are empty things, and for tlie full are the fuii 
things. 

26 Behold, tlie time shall come, that these to- 
kens w liieh 1 have told diee shall come to pass, 
and the ' bride shall ajipear, and .she coming 
forth shall be seen, Uiat now is w'ithdravMi fi-om 
the earth. 

27 And whosoever is delivered from the afore- 
said evils shall see my wonders. 

28 For my son Jesus * shall be revealed ^\ ith 
those that be with him, and they that reniiiin skill 
rejoice w ithin f jur hundred years. 

29 After these \eius shall my son Chi-ist"die, 
iuid all men that have life. 

30 And the s\ oi Id shall be turned into the old 
silence seven days, like as in the || former judg- 
ments : so that no man shall remain. 

31 And after seven days, the world, that yet 
a^vaketh not, shall be raised up, luid that shall 
die that is contipt. 

32 And the eailh shall ' restore those that art- 
asleep in her, and so shall the dust those that 
dwell in silence, and the secret places sh.dl deli- 
ver those souls tli;!t wire committed untotlitm. 

33 And the Most High shall appear upon the 
y scat of judgmt nt, and miseiy shall pass away, 
and the long-suffering shall ha%'e an end. 

34 But judgment oniy shall remain, truth shiUl

35 And * the work shall loliow, and the re- 
ward shall Ik- shewxd, " and the g(K)d deeds sliall

38 And Samuel and * David for the desti-uc- 
tion : and ^ Solomon for them that should come 
to the sanctuary- : . ■, • 

39 And*'Heliasfor those that received ram, 
and for the dead, that he might live : 

40 And e t;,zechias for the people in the tmie 
of Sennacherib : and many for mar.y. 

41 Even so now, seeing cormption is grovni 
up, and wickediiess increased, and the righteous 
have prayed for the ungodly : '^ wherefore shall 
it not be so now also ? 

42 He ans\^'ered me, and said. This present 
life is not the end where much glory doth abide; 
therefore have they prayed for the weak. 

43 But the ' day of doom shall be the end of 
this time, and the beginning of the immortality 
for to com.e, wherein conuption is past, 

44 Intemperance is at an end, infidelity is cut 
off, righteousness is grown, and truth is sprung 
up. . 

45 ^ Then shall no man be able to save him 
that is destroyed, nor to oppress liim that hath 
gotten the victory. 

46 I answered then, and said, ' This is my 
first and last saymg, that it had been better not 
to have given tlie eaitli lo Adam : or else, when 
it v,-as given him, to ha\-e restrained him from 
sinning. . i_. 

47 For what profit is it for men now in this 
present time to live in heaviness, and after death 
to look for punishment ? 

48 O thou Adam, what hast tliou done ? for 
though it was " thou that sinned, thou art not 
fallen alone, but we all that come of thee. 

49 " For \\hat profit is it unto us, if there be 
promised us an immoital time, whereas we have 
done the works that bring death ? 

50 And that there is promised us an everlast- 
ing hope, w hereas ourselves being most wicked 
are made vain : 

51 ° And that there are laid up for us dwellings 
of health and safetj-, whereas we ha^-e lived 
\\ickedly ? 

52 And that the glory of the Most High is 
kept to defend them \\ hich have led || a wary 
life, whereas Ave have \\alked in the most wick- 
ed Avays of all ? 

53 And that there should be shelved a pai-a- 
di-se, w"hose fruit eudureth for ever, p A\herein is 
II security and medicine, since we sliall not enter 
into it ? 

54 (For we have walked in unpleasant places.) 

55 And that the feces of them A\hich have used 
abstinence shall "* shine abo\ e tb.e stars, whereas 

jude 13. our faces shall be ^ blacker than dai kness ? 

56 For while Av^e lived and committed iniquity, 
Ave considered not that we should begin to suffer 
for it after death. 

57 Then answered he me, and said, This is 
the II condition of the battle, Avhich man that is 
bom upon the eaith shall fight ; 

58 That, if he l)e overcx)me, he shall suffer as 
diou hast said : ^ but if he get the vicloi y, he slial;

60 Nevertheless, " they beiieAed not him, nor ^gfif' ''

61 That there should not be such heaviness 
in their destruction, ^^ as shall be joy over tliem j?_Lukei5.

62 I ansAAcred then, and said, I knoAv, Lord, 
that the Most High ^ is called mercitul, in that y_E-"<i- ^ 
he hath mercy upon them AAhich are not yet 
come into the Avorld, 

63 And upon those also that turn to his laAV ; 

64 And that ^ he is patient, and long suffereth 
those that hea-e sinned, as his creatures ; 

65 And that he is bountiful, for he is ready to 
give Avhere it needeth ; 

66 And tliat he is of great mercy, ''for he mul- 
tiplieth more and more mercies to them that ai^e 
present, andtliat are past, and also to tliem AA'hich 
ai"e to come. 

67 For ^ if he shall not multiply liis mercies, 2^^"-^' 
the AAorld Avould not continue Avith them tliat in- 
herit therein. 

68 ' And he pardoneth; for if he did not so of «:M'"^-7-w- 
his goodness, that they A\'hieh haAC commit- 
ted iniquities might be eased of them, the ten 
thousandth pmt of men should not remain 
living. 

69 And being judge, ^ if he should not forgive ^^f/**'^ 
them that ai^e i| cured with his Avord, and put out u'or' 
the multitude of |i contentions, 

70 There should be very fcAv left peradven 
ture in an innumerable multitude.

tiot to good, 52 a?id that glory is prepared for 
him, and such like. 

AND he ansAAered me, saying, The Most High 
hath made this AAorld for many, but the 
AAorld to come for ^ fcAV. 

2 I Avill tell thee a similitude, Esdras ; i\s 
AA^hen thou askest the earth, it shall say unto thee,

thj' creature is preserved in iire aiid wiiter, ancl 
nine months doth thy \\ orkmanship endure tliy

9 But that which keepeth and is kept shall 
iioth be preserved : and when the time eometh, 
the womb preserved delivereth ui) the things 
that ^ grew in it. 

10 For thou hast commanded out of the i)arts 
of the body, that is to say, out of the brea.sts, 
milk to i)e given, which is the fruit of the 
breasts, 

1 1 That the thing w Iiich is fashioned may l^e 
'nourished lor a time, till thou disposest it to thj 
mere> . 

12 Thou brougjitest it up with thy righteous- 
ness, and niuturedst it in thy law, and relbrm- 
edst it with thy judgment. 

13 And thou shait moitify it as thy creature, 
iuid quicken it as thy work. 

14 if there! ore thou sha:t destroy him which 
with so gi'fat '' labour was fashioned, it is an easy 
thing to be ordained by thy commandment, 
that the thing which was made might be pre- 
sen'ed. 

15 Now therefore. Lord, I will speak ; touching 
man in general, thou knowest best; but toueh- 
\\\-r, ' thy people, lor vVhose sake 1 am sony ; 

16 And for thine ™ inheritance, for A\hose 
cause 1 mourn; and for Isiael, for v\hom 1 am 
heavy; and lor Jacob, for whose s;ike 1 am ti'ou- 
bled'; 

17 Therefore will I begin to " pray before thee 
for m\seit and for them : for 1 see the falls of us 
that dwell in the kuid. 

18 But i ha\e lieard the swiftness of the judge

37 Then answered he me, and said, Some

to thj w ords it shall be. 

38 For indeed I will not think on the disposi-

before judgment, before destioiction :

47 For thou *" comestfar short that thou should- 
est be able to love my creature more than I : 
but I have oft-times diawn nigh unto thee, aiid 
unto it, but never to the unrighteous. 

48 In this also thou art marvellous before the 
Most High : 

49 In that thou hast " humbled thyself, as itbe- 
cometh thee, and hast not judged thyself worthy 
to be much glorified among the righteous. 

50 For many great miseries shall be done to 
them that in the ° latter time shall dwell in the 
world, because they have walked in great pride. 

5 1 But understand thou for thyself, and seek 
out the glory for such as be like thee. 

52 For unto you is paradise ^ opened, the tree 
of life is planted, the time to come is prepared, 
plenteousness is made ready, a city is builded, 
and rest is allowed, yea, perfect goodness and 
wisdom. 

53 The root of evil is sealed up from you, 
weakness and the moth is hid fiom you, and cor- 
ruption is fled into || hell to be forgotten : 

54 SojTows are passed, and in the end is shew- 
ed the treasure of "^ immortality. 

55 And therefore ask tliou no more ' questions 
concerning the multitude of them that perish. 

56 For when they had taken liberty, they des- 
pised the Most High, thought scorn of his law, 
and forsook his ways. 

51 Moreover, they have trodden down his 
righteous, 

58 And ' said in their heart, that there is no 
God ; yea, and that knowing they must die. 

59 For as the things aforesaid shall receive 
you, so thirst and pain are prepared for tliem : 
for it was not his will * that men should come to 
nought : 

60 But they which \>e created have defiled 
the name of him that made them, and were un- 
thankful unto him which prepared life for 
them: 

61 And therefore is my judgment »* now at 
hand. 

62 These things have I not shewed unto all 
men, but unto thee, and a lew like thee. Then 
answered I, and said, 

63 Behold, O Lord,, now hast thou shewed 
me tlie multitude of the wonders which thou wilt 
begin to do in the last times : * but at what time, 
thou hast not shewed me.

Hxiorld is no%v cornipced; 22 yet God doth save 
a few. 33 Esdras comnlaineth that those pe- 
rish which keep God'' slaw ; 38 and seeth a wo- 
nian lamenting in afield. 

HE answered me then, and said. Measure 
thou the time diiigeiitly in itself: and when 
thou » seest pmt of the signs past, which I have | 
told thee before, 

2 Then shalt thou understand, that it is the ve- 
ry same time, wherein the Highest w ill begin to 
visrt the world which he made. 

3 Therefore when there shall be seen *" earth-

quakes and uproars of the people in the world : 

4 Thvj ■ siiait thou well understand, that the 
Most High spake of those tilings ^ from the daj's <= J'"'«i''' 
tliat were before thee, e\'en from the beginning. 

5 For like as all tnat is made in the world 
hath a beginning and an end, and the end is ma- 
nifest : 

6 ^ Even so the times also of the Highest have Jo^""- 
plain begimiings in wonders and powerful works, 
and endings in effects and signs. 

7 And every one that shall be saved, and shall 
be able to escape by his works, and by faith, where- 
by ye haA^e believed, 

8 Shall be ^ preserved from the said perils, and MZ'^ *' 
shall see my salvation in my land, and within my 
borders : for I have sanctified them for me from 
the beginning. 

9 Then 1| shall they be in \ni\M case, which 11^11*^11^ 
now have abused my ways : and they that ^'''• 
have cast them away despitefuJlv shall dwell 
^n torments. _ ' [i^g.-i"*i 

10 For such as in their life have received bene- 
fits, and have not known me ; 

11 And they that have loathed my la-.v, while 
they had yet libeily, and when as yet place of re- 
pentance was open unto them, understood not, 
but despised it ; 

12 8 The same must knowitafter death by pain. fg^t^f^^J^' 

13 And therefoi-e be thou not curious how the i.'s.g. ^"" 
ungodly shall be punished, and when : '' but en- ^-^"s^. 
quire how the righteous shall be saved, Avhose si." ^' 
the world is, and for ^vhom the world is created. 

14 Then answered I, and said, 
151 have said before, and now do speak, aiid 

will speak it also hereafter, 'that there be many; Matt t. 
more of them which perish, than of them which ^^' "" 
shall be saved : 

16 Like as a wave is greater than a drop. 

17 And he answered me, saying, Like as the 
field is, so is also the seed ; as the flowers be, such 
are the colours also; such as the workman is, such 
also is the work ; and as the husbandman is him- 
self, so is his husbandry also : jfor it was the time 
of the world. 

18^ II And now when I prepared the w^orld ''.'^°''- »• 
which was not yet made, even for them to dwell pfJ"«™,

25 .\na pny unto the 'Highest eontimially, 
then will I come and t:ilk w ith thcc. 

26 So I went my way into the lield which is 
called Ardath, "' like as he comniauded me, and 
theixr I sat '.unonij tlie How eis, and tlid eat of the 
herbs of the field, and the meat of U\e same sa- 
tisfied me. 

27 .\iler seven days I sat upon the grass, and 
my heart was vexed w ithin me, " like as before : 

28 And I opened my mouth, and began to talk 
before the Most High, and said, 

29 O Lord, thou that sheMest thyself unto us, 
»^*-'m."; ^^^°^^ '^^'^t ° she^\ed unto our fathers in the w il- 
Deuc 4.12. deniess, in a place where no man || treadeth, in a 

barren place, when they came out of Egjpt. 

30 And thou spakest, saying, f Heiir me, O 
Israel ; and nuirk my words, thou seed of Jacob. 

31 For behold, I sow my law in you, and it 
shall bring fniit in you, and ye shall be honour- 
ed in it for ever. 

22 But our fatliers, \\hich received the law, 
kept it not, and oI)served not thy ordinances : 
and though tlic fruit of thy law did not perish, 
neither could it, for it was tliine ; 

33 Yet they that received it ^ perished, because 
they kept not the thing that was sown in them. 

34 And lo, it is a custom, -w hen the gTound 
hath received seed, or the sea a ship, or any ves- 
sel meat or diink, that, tl-uit being perished 
wherein it \v as so\mi or cast ifito, 

35 That tiling also v hich was sown, or cast 
therein, or received, doth perish, and remainetli 
not vnth us : but with us it hath not happened so. 

36 For we that have recci\ed the Ium- "■ jxrish 
by sin, and our heart also ^\ hich received it. 

37 Notwithstcinditig, 'the law jxtrisheth not, 
but remaineth in his ihiee. 

38 And \\hen I spake these things 'in my 
heart, 1 looked back viith mine eyes, and upon

mourned and \\ ept ^vith a loud \oice, and w^as

and she l.ad ashes upon her head. 

39 Then let I my thoughts go tliat I M'as in,

AND it so carne to pass, that A\hen my .son 
\\ as entered into his wedding ' chamber, he 
fell down, and died. 

2 Then we all o\erthrew the ligh.ts, and all my 
II neighbours ro.se up to comfort me : so I took 
my rest unto the second day at night. 

3 And it came to pass, ^\ hen they had all left 
off to comfort me, to the end I miglit be quiet ;

4 And I do now purpose not to return into the 
citj-, but here to sti\y

18 And she seiid uiito me, That will 
do : I will not go into the cit>-, ^ but here 
die. 

19 So I proceeded to speak further unto her, 
and said, 

20 Do not so, but be counselled by me : for 
how many are the ad\ei-sities of Sion .' be com- 
forted in regard of the sorrow of Jerusalem. 

21 For thou seest that ' our sanctuaiy is laid 
waste, our altar broken dawn, gux temple de- 
stroyed ; 

22 Our psalterj' is laid on the ground, our song 
is put to silence, our rejoicing is at an end, the 
light of our candlestick is put out, the aik of our 
covenant is spoiled, our holy tilings are defiled, 
and the name that is called upon us is almost 
profaned : oiu- childien are put to shame, om- 
priests ai-fe bimit, our Levites ai-e gone into 
capti\ity, our virgins ai-e defiled, and om- wives 
ra-vished ; our righteous men carried a^\-ay, our 
little ones destroyed, our young men are brought 
in bondage, and our sti'ong men are become 
weak ; 

23 And, which is the greatest of all, the seal 
of Sion hath now lost her ^ honour ; for she is de- 
liAcred into the hands of them that hate us. 

24 And therefore shake off thy gi-eat hea\ iness, 
and put a^^•ay the multitude of son•o^^■s, that the 
Migh^' may be merciful unto thee ag-ain, and 
the Highest shall give thee rest and ease fiom tliy 
labour. 

25 And it came to pass, while I -was talking 
witli her, behold, ^ her face upon a sudden shined 
exceedinglj-, and her countenance glistered, so 
tliat I was afi-aid of her, and mused what it might 
be. 

26 And behold, suddenly she made a gi-eat 
cry, ver\- feaiful : so that the " earth shook at the 
noise of the womsji. 

27 And I looked, and behold, the Moman ap- 
peai-ed unto me no more, but there Mas a citj- 
builded, and a lai'ge place shewed itself from the 
foundations : then A\'as I afraid, and cried \\\\h a 
loud voice, and said, 

28 Where is " Uriel the angel, who came un- 
to me at the first .-* for he hath caused me to fall 
II into many trances, and mine end is turned into 
coiTuption, and my prayer to rebuke. 

29 And as I was speaking tliese ^^"ords, behold, 
he came unto me, and looked upon m^e. 

30 And lo, I lay ° as one that had been dead, 
and mine understanding was taken from me: 
and he took p me by the right hand, and com- 
forted me, and set me upon my feet, and said 
unto me, 

3 1 Wiiat aileth thee : and why ait thou so dis- 
quieted ? and why is thine understanding trou- 
bled, and the thoughts of thint^ heart 1 

32 And I said, Because thou hast forsaken 
me, and yet I did according to thy ''' words, and 
I went into tlie field, and lo, I ha^ e seen, and yet 
see, that I am not able to express. 

33 And he said unto me. Stand up manfully, 
^ and I \\-\\\ advise thee. 

34 Then said I, Speak on, m> lord, in me ;

only forsalie me not 
hope. 

35 For I have seen that I knew not, * and hear 
that I do not know. 

36 Or is my sense deceived, or my soul in a 
dream .'' 

3 7 Now therefore, I beseech thee, that 'thou 
wilt shew thy ser\ant of this \ Aision. 

38 He answered me then, and said. Hear nie, 
and I shall uiform thee, and tell thee A\iierefore 
thou art afi-aid : for the Highest will rcA eal many 
^ secret diings unto thee. 

39 He hath seen that ih\ || way is right: for 
that thou soiTowest continually for thy people, 
" and makest gieat lamentation for Sion. 

40 This therefore is the meaning of tlie a ision 
which thou lately sawest : 

41 Thou sawest " a \\onian mourning, and thou 
y begannest to comifort her : 

42 But now seest thou the likeness of the mo- 
man no more, but there appeai^ed unto thee a city 
builded. 

43 And whereas she told thee of tlie death of 
her son, this is the j| solution : 

44 This woman, \\hom thou sawest, is Sion : 
and whereas she said unto thee, CAcn she whom 
thou seest ^ as a city builded, _ 

45 Whereas, I say, she said unto thee, that 
she had been tliirty years baiTcn : tiiose are tlie 
thirtj." j'ears wherein there was no offering made 
in her. 

46 But after thirtj' years * Solomon builded 
the cit}-, '' and offered offerings : and then bare 
the barren a son. 

47 And whereas she told thee that she nomish- 
ed him Avith labom- : that v.as the d^welling m Je- 
rusalem. 

48 But \i hereas she said unto thee. That my 
son coming into his maiTiiige chamber happened 
to have a fall, and died : '^ tliis a\ as the destruction 
diat came to Jerusalem. 

49 And behold, thou sav.est her likeness, 
and because she mourned for her son, tliou be- 
gannest to comfort her : and of these tilings 
which have chanced, tliese are to be opened uri- 
to thee. 

50 For now the ° Most High seetli that thou 
art giicAcd unfeignedly, and sufferest from tliy 
whole lieait for her, so liatli he she'>^-ed thee the 
brightness of her glor\', and the comeliness of her 
beautj" : 

5 1 And therefore I bade thee remain m tlie 
field vrhere no house nas builded : 

52 For I knew that the Highest ^ \A-ould shev/ 
this unto thee. 

53 Therefore I commanded thee to go into 
the field, Avhere no foundation of any buildirig 
was. 

54 For in the place \\ hereui the Highest be- 
ginneth to shew liis city, there can no man's 
buikhng be able to stand. 

55 And therefore ^feai- not, let s not thine heart 
be affrighted, but go thy w-^ iii, and see the 
beautj- and gixatness of the building, a^ n:uchas 
tliine eyes be able to sec ;

1 He secfh in his dream an eagle coming out of 
the sea, 37 and a lion out of a 'wood talking to 
the civile. 

THUN saw I a dream, and behold, there came 
up from the sea an " eagle, \^•hich had 
twelve leathered wings, and three heads. 

2 And I saw , a, id behold, she spread her \\ ings 
over all the earth, and all the w inds oithe air blew 
on her, and \\ ere giithered together. 

3 And 1 beheld, and out of her '' feathers there 
grcM' other contnuy feathers; and thej^ became 
little fciithci-s and small. 

4 But her ^ heads \\ere at i"est : the head in tlie 
midst Mas gi-eater tlian the other, yet rested f it 
w ith the residue. 

5 IVloreover 1 beheld, and, lo, the eagle flew 
with her feathers, and reigned upon eaith, and 
o\'er them that dw elt therein. 

6 ^ And 1 s;iw that all things under heaven 
were subject inito her, and no man spalce against 
her, no, not one creature upon earth. 

7 And 1 beheld, and lo, the eagle rose upon 
her talons, and spake to her feathers, saying, 

8 Watch not aJl at once : sleep eveiy one in his 
owni place, and w-cXXvh by coui-se : 

9 But let the iieads be pieser\'ed for the last. 

10 And I beheld, and, lo, the \oice went not 
out of her heads, but from the midst of her 
body. 

11 And I numbered her 'contrary feathers, 
and behold, tht re were eight of them. 

12 And I looked, and behold, on the right 
side there arose one feather, *"and reigned o\er 
all tlie earth ; 

13 And so it \\t% that when it reigned, the end 
of it aime, ard ^ the place thereof appeared no 
more : so the next follow ing stood up, and reign- 
( d, and had a great time : 

14 And it hMpi>ened, that when it reigned, tlie 
end ol it came iilso, like as the first, so tliat it ap- 
peared no more. 

15 Then came there a voice unto it, and said, 

16 ^ Hear, tliou that hast borne rule OAcr the 
cjulh so long : this I say tmto thee, before th.ou 
iKginnest to appear no more, 

17 There shall none after thee attain unto thj-

18 Th(n arose the third, and reigned as tlie

22 After this I looked, and behold, the ' twelve ' ^'"- ^•

awaked one p of the heads that were at rest,pver.M. 
namely, it that was in the midst: for tliat was 
greater than the two other heads.

were joined \\ith it. 

31 And behold, the head was turned with 
them that ^vcre ^vitll it, and did eat uj) the '' t\\ o <i ^'"■- =>*

34 But there remained tlie two heads, which

3 And I saw, and behcid, ^ they appeared no 
more, and the whole body of the eagle was burnt, 
so that tlie earth was in great fear : then awaked 
I out of the trouble and ti-ance of my mmd, and 
from great fear, and said unto my spirit, 

4 Lo, this hast thou done unto me, in that thou 
c Job 11. 7. ^searchest out the ways of the Highest. 

5 Lo, 3 et cJTL I wearj^ in my mind, and very

me, for the' great fear wherewith I was affiighted 
tliis night.

that he will comfort me unto the end.

1 1 The eagle whom thou sawest come up from

f r«i. 7, 7. f vision of thy brother Daniel. 

12 But it was not expounded uiito him, there-

shall rise up a kingdom upon earth, and it shall 

be 8 feared above all the kingdoms that were be- f^^'^ ^^ 

fore it. 

14 In the same shall tM'elve kings reign, one 
after another : 

15 Whereof the second shall begin to reign, 
and shall have more time than any of the 
twelve. 

16 And this do tlie t\\^elve wings signify, ^ which \°^- "• 
thou sawest. 

17 As fcH- the voice which thou heardest speak_, 
and that thou sawest 'not to go out from the 
heads, but from the midst of the body thereof, 
tliis is the inteipretation : 

18 That after the time of that kingdom there 
shall arise great stri\ings, and it shall stand in 
peril of falling : nevertheless, it shall not then fail, 
but shall be restored again to nis beginning. 

1 9 And whereas thou saAvest tlie ^ eight small i,^*^ " 
under feathers sticking to her wmgs, this is the 
interpretation : 

20 That in him there shall arise eight kings, 
whose times shall be but small, and dieir years 
sAnft. 

21 And two of them shall perish, the middle 
time approaching : four shall be kept until their 
end begin to approach : but two shall be kept un- 
to die end. 

22 And whereas thou sav.-est ' three 
resting, this is the interpretation : 

23 In his last days shall the Most High raise 
up three kingdoms, and renew many things 
therein, and they shall have the dominion of the 
earth, 

24 And of those tliat dwell therein, with 
much oppression, aboA'e all those that v»ere be- 
fore them : tlierefbre are they called the ™ heads ^ ^j"^p 
of the eagle. 

25 For these are they that shall accomplish Ms 
Avickedness, and that shall finish his last end. 

26 And AAiiereas thou sa.AA'est that the great 
head appeaj-ed no more, it signified^ that one of 
theiu shall die upon his bed, ajid yet v.idi pain. 

27 For the tAvo that remain shall be slain AA'ith 
the SAvord. 

28 For the sAvord of the one shall deA-oiu

29 And Avhereas thou saAA'est " tA^-o feathers l^^^^' ^^' 
under the Mings passing over the head tliat is on 

the right side ; 

30 It signifieth that these are they, A'.hom the

est.

34 For tlie rest of my people shall he ' deliver 
\\ith mere}-, those that ha\e been preserved up- 
on vny borders, and he shall make them joyful 
until the coming of the day of judgment, where- 
of I have spoken unto thee from the begin- 
ning. 

35 This is ' the dieam diat thou sawest, and 
these are the interpretations. 

36 Thou only hast been meet to know tliis se- 
cret of the Highest. 

3 7 Therefore ' ^^Tite all these diings that thou 
hast seen in a book, and hide them : 

38 And teach them to the wise of the people, 
^vhose hearts thou know est maj' comprehend and 
keep these secrets. 

39 But wait thou here thyself yet "seven days 
more, that it may be sliewed thee, whatsoever it 
pleaseth the Highest to decU\re unto thee. And 
with that lie \vent his \\\\y. 

40 And it came to pass, when all the people 
si\w that the se\en da5-s were pa.st, and I not 
come again into the citj% they gathered them all 
together, fi'om the least unto the greatest, and 
came unto me, and said, 

41 What ha\e we offended thee .^ and what 
evil have we done against thee, that thou for- 
sakest us, and sittcst here in this place .'' 

42 For of all the H prophets thou " only ait left 
us, as a clu.ster of the \intage, and as a candle in 
a dark place, and as a haA en or ship preserved 
fj-om the tempest. 

43 .\re not the evils which are come to us suf- 
ficient .'' 

44 If thou shalt forsake us, how much better 
had it Ix-en for us, if we also had ^ been burnt in 
the midst of Si(ni ? 

45 For we aie not bcttei" dian they that died 
there. And they wept w ith a loud voice. Then 
answered I them, and said, 

40 Be of good comfort, O Lsrael, and be not 
heavj\ thou house of Jacob : 

47' For the Highest hath vou * in remembrance, 
and the Mighty liath not forgotten you in temp- 
tation. 

48 As for me, I have not forsaken you, neither 
am I departed from you : but am come into this 
place, to pray for the desolation of Sion, and that 
1 might seek mercy for the "low estate of your 
N-inctuary. 

49 And now go your way home everj' man, 
and after these days w ill I come unto you. 

50 So the people \vent their \vay into the cit>', 
like as I commanded them : 

5 1 But I remained still in the field seven days, 
as *" the angel commanded me ; and did eat only 
in those da\s of the flowers of the field, and liad

that it moved all the \\-aves thereof. "■/Jiju-'

with the II thousands of heaven : and w hen he 1 cioudu 
tunied his countenance to look, '' all the 
trembled that Avere seen under him. 

4 And whcnsfx;^•cr the voice went out of his 
mouth, all diey burned that heard his \ oice, like 
as the earth faileth w hen it feeleth the fire. 

5 And after this I beheld, and lo, there was 
gathered together a multitude of men, out of num- 
ber, from "■ the four ^\ inds of the heaven, to sub- cEieirT* 
due the man that came out of the sea. 

6 But I beheld, and lo, lie had graved himself a 
gi'cat mountain, and flew up uixjn it. 

7 But I would have seen the region or place 
whereout the hill was gI•a^'en, and I could not. 

8 And after this I beheld, and lo, all they which 
were gathered together to "^ subdue liini w ere sore ♦i vcr. «.

9 And lo, iis he sin\ the \iolence of the multi- 
tude that came, he neither lifted up his hand, nor 
held sword, nor any instiiniient of war : 

10 But only I saw that he sent "= out of liis mouth | *=*• "- 
as it had been a blast of fire, and out of his lips a 
flaming breath, and out of his tongue he cast out 
sparks and tempests. 

1 1 And the>' were all mixed together ; the blast 
of fire, the flaming breath, and the gix'at tempest ; 
and fell with \iolence upon the multitude which 
was prepared to fight, and burned them up eveiy 
one, so that upon a sudden, of an * iniunnei-able 'va-. s. 
multitude nothing was to 1k' perceived, but only 
dust and smell of smoke : w hen I saw this I was 
afiaid. 

12 Aften\ards I saw the same man come dowii

13 i\nd there came much ixople unto him, 
^ whereof some w ere glad, some A\ere sony, some h Ermj.*-

Apocrypha. ^ _ CUAV 

21 "' The interpretation of the vision shall I 
shew thee, and I will open unto thee the thing 
that thou hast required. 

22 Whereas thou hast spoken of them that arc 
left behind, tliis is the interpretation : 

23 He that shall " endure the peril in that time 
hath kept himself: tliej' that be fallen into danger 
ai-e such as have works and faith tow aixl the Ai- 
mightj\ 

24 Know tliis therefore, that they which be 
left behind are more blessed than they that be 
dead. 

25 ° This is the meaning of the vision: Where- 
as thou sawest a man coming up from the midst 
of the sea : 

26 The same is he whorn God the Highest 
p hath kept a great season, which by his ownself 
shall deliver his creature : and he shall order them 
that are left behind. 

27 And whereas thou sawest, "^ that out of his 
mouth there came as a blast of wind, and fire, and 
storm ; 

28 And that he held ""neither sword, nor any in- 
strument of war, but that the rushing in of him 
destroyed the whole multitude that came to sub- 
due him ; this is the interpretation : 

29 Behold, the days come, Avhen the Most 
High v/ill begin to deliver them that ai'e upon the 
earth. 

30 And he shall come to the astonishment of 
them that dwell on the earth. 

3 1 And ^ one shall undei-take to fight against 
another, one city against another, one place against 
another, one people against another, and one realm 
against another. 

32 And the time shall be when these things 
shall come to pass, and the signs shall happen 
which I shewed thee before, and then shall ^ my 
Son be declared, whom thou sa^\"est as a man as- 
cending. * 

33 And when all the people hear his voice, e- 
very man shall in their own land leave the battle 
they have one against another. 

34 And an innumerable multitude shall be ga- 
thered together, as thou sawest them, willing to 
come, and to overcome him by fighting. 

35 But he shall " stand upon the top of the 
mount Sion. 

36 And Sion shall come, and shall be shewed 
to all men, being prepared and builded, like as 
thou sawest the hill graven without hands. 

37 And this my Son shall '' rebuke the wicked 
inventions of those nations, which for theirwicked 
life are fallen into the tempest ; 

38 And shall lay before them their ^ evil 
thoughts, and the torments wherewith they shall 
begin to be tormented, which are like unto a 
flame : and he shall destroy them without labour 
by the law which is like unto fire. 

39 And whereas thou sawest that he gathered 
another ^ peacealjle multitude unto him ; 

_ 40 Those are the ten tribes, which were car- 
ried aM^ay prisoners out of their own land in the 
time of Osea the king, whom ^ Salmanasar the 
kmg of Assyria led away captive, and he cairied

them over the ■" waters, and so came they into a- 
nother land. 

41 But they took this counsel among them- 
seh-es, that they would leave the multitude of tlie 
heathen, and go' forth into a further countrj-,v,-herc 
never mankind dwelt, 

42 That they might there keep their statutes, 
which they never kept in their o\vn land. 

43 And they entered into " Euphrates by the 
nan-ow passages of the river. 

44 For the Most High then shewed "^ signs for 
them, and held still the flood, till they were passed 
over. 

45 For through that country there ^vas a great 
way to go, namely, of a year and a half : and the 
same region is called II Arsai-eth. ' _ LwIgS^' 

46 Then dwelt they there until the latter time ; 8.4." 
and now when they shall begin to come, 

47 The Highest shall ' staj" the springs of the if^'-- "• 
stream again, that they may go through : therefore 
sawest thou the multitude wdth peace. 

48 But those that be left behind of thy people 
are they that are found within my borders. 

49 Now when he destroyeth the multitude of 

the nations that ai'e gathered together, ^ he shall (/^*|; 
defend his people that remain. 2s! 

50 And then shall he shew them great won- 
dere. 

51 Then said I, O Lord that bearest rule, shew 
me this : Wherefore ha^^e I seen the man com- 
ing up from the midst of the sea ? 

52 And he said unto me, ^ Like as thou canst f/^^^-g^ 
neither seek out nor know the things that ai^e in 24,' 25. 
the deep of the sea : even so can no man upon 
earth see my Son, or those that be with him, but 

in the day-time. 

53 This is the inteipretation of the dream 
wliich thou sawest, and whereby thou '^ only ait ^ ci'^p. i»« 
here lightened. 

54 For thou hast forsaken thine own way, and 
applied thy diligence unto my law, and sought it. 

55 Thy life hast thou ordered in wisdom, and" 
hast called understanding thy mother. 

56 And therefore have I shewed thee the trea- 
sures of the Highest : after otlier three days I will 
speak other things unto thee, and declare unto thee 
mighty and wondrous tilings. 

57 Then went I forth into ^ the field, giving > ch^p- 9^. ■ 
praise and thanks greatly unto the Most High, 
because of his Avonders, which he did in time ; 

58 And because he govenieth the same, and 
such things as faJl in their seasons : and there I

with him, when my people sen ed in Egjpt : 

4 And I sent him, and led my people out of 
E^jpt, and brought him up to the ' mount of 
Sinai, where I held him by mc a lone; season, 

5 And told him many "^ u ondrous things, and 
shewed him the secrets of the times, and the end; 
and commanded him, siiying, 

6 These words slialt thou declare, and these 
shalt thou hide. 

7 And now I siiy unto thee, 

8 That thou lay up in thy heart the signs that 
• I have she^\ ed, and the " dreams that thou hast 

seen, and tlie interjiretations which tliou hast 
heard : 

9 F"or thnu shalt be '"taken away from all, and 
from henccfortli thou shalt remain with my Son, 
and w ith such as be like thee, until tlie times be 
ended. 

10 For the world hath lost his youtli, ^ and the 
times begin to wax old. 

1 1 For the w oi Id is divided into twelve parts, 
and the ten parts of it are gone already, and half 
ofatentlipiirt: 

12 And there rcmaineth that which is after the 
half of the tenth part. 

13 No^v therefore'* set thine house in order, and 
repro^ e diy people, comfort such of them as be 
in trouble, and now renounce corruption. 

14 l^t go from thee mortiil thoughts, cast 
away the burdens of man, put off now tlie weak 
natui-e, 

15 And set aside the thoughts that are most 
heavy unto thee, and haste thee to flee from these 
times. 

16 For ' yet greater evils than those which thou 
hast seen happen, shall be done hereafter. 

17 For Ux)k how much the world shall be weak- 
er tlirough age, so much the more shall evils in- 
crease upon them that dw ell therein. 

18 For the truth is fled far a^vay, and leasing is 
hard at hand : for now hasteth the ^'ision to come, 
^ w hich thou hast seen. 

19 Then answered I before thee, and said,

manded me, and reprove the people which are

ye yourselves, have done unrighteousness, and »• 
have not kept the ways \vhich die Highest com-

32 And forasmuch as he is a righteous judge, 
he took from you in time the thing that he hiid gi-

1 This prophecy is certain. 5 God ivill take 1)671- 
geance upon the xvicked^ 12 7/pon £gypt.28 An 
horrible vision. 43 Babylon ana Asia are 
threatened. 

BEHOLD, speak thou in the ears_ of my 
people the vv^ords of prophecy, * which I ^vill 
put in thy mouth, saith the Lord : 

2 And cause them to be T\Titten in paper ; for 
they are faitliful and true. 

3 ^ Fear not the imaginations against thee, let 
not the incredulity of them trouble thee, that 
speak against thee. 

4 For all the unfaithful shall die " in their un- 
faithfolness. 

5 Behold, saith the Lord, I will bring ■* plagues 
upon the Avorld ; the sword, famine, deatli, and 
-destruction. 

6 For ^rickedness hath exceedingly polluted the 
whole earth, and their hurtful A^'orks are fiilfilled. 

7 Therefore saith the Lord, 

8*1 will hold my tongue no more as touch- 
ing their wickedness, which they profanely com- 
mit, neither will I suffer them in those things, 
in which they wickedly exercise themselves : be- 
hold, the ^ innocent and righteous blood crieth 
unto me, and the souls of the just complain con- 
tinually. 

9 And therefore, saith the Lord, I will surely 
avenge them, and receive unto me all the hmocent 
blood from among them. 

10 Behold, my people is s led as a flock to 
the slaughter : I will not suffer them now to 
dAA'ell in the land of Egj-pt : 

1 1 But I will brmg them with a mighty hand 
and a stretched -out arm, and ^ smite Egj-pt with 
plagues, as before, and will destroy all the land 
thereof. 

12 Egj'pt shall mourn, and the foundation of it 
shall be smitten with the plague and pmiishment 
that God shall bring upon it. 

13 They that till the ground shall mourn : for 
their seeds shall fail tlirough the blasting and 
hail, and with a fearful constellation. 

14'^^'oeto the world, and them that dwell 
therein ! 

15 For the sword and their destruction draw- 
eth nigh, ^ and one people shall stand up to fight 
against another, and swords in tlieir hands. 

16 For there shall be sedition among men, and 
invading one another ; they shall not regard their 
kings nor princes , and the course of their actions 
shall stand in their power . 

17 A man shall desire to go into a city, ' and 
shall not be able.

18 For because of their pride the cities shall 
be ti-oubled, the houses shall be destroyed, and 
men shall be cifraid. 

19 "" A m.an shall have no pity upon his neigh- 
bour, but shall destroy their houses with tlie 
sword, and spoil their goods, because of the lack 
of bread, and for great tribulation. 

20 Behold, saith God, I Mill call together all 
the kings of the earth to rc/erence me, ° A\'hich 
aj-e fVom the rising of the suii, from the south, 
from the east, and Libanus ; to turn themselves 
one against another, and repay the things that 
daey have done to them. 

21 ° Like as they do yet this day^nto my cho- 
sen, so ^\'ill I do also, and recompense in their 
bosom. Thus saith the I..ord God ; 

22 My right hand shall not spare the siimers, 
and my sword shall not cease over them that 
shed innocent blood upon the earth. 

23 The fire is gone forth from his wrath, p and 
hath consumed the foundations^ of the earth, and 
the sinners, like the straw tliat is kindled. 

24 ^ W^oe to them that sin, and keep not my 
commandments ! saith the Lord : 

25 I will not spare them : go j'our ^\■ay, ye 
children, fi-om the power, defile not my sanctua- 
rj-. 

26 For the Lord knoweth all them that sin 
against him, ' and therefore delivereth he them 
unto death and destruction. 

27 For now are the plagues come i^on the 
whole earth, and ye shall remain in them : for 
God shall not deliver you, because ye have sin- 
ned against him. 

28 Behold, an horrible \ision, and the appear- 
ance thereof from ^ the east : 

29 Where the nations of the dragons of Ara- 
bia shall come out Avith many chaiiots, and the 
multitude of them shall be cairied as the v/ind 
upon earth, ' that all they Aviiich hear them may 
fear and tremble. 

30 Also the Carmanians raging in ^\Tath shall 
go forth as the v/ild boars of the wood, and "vvith 
great pov.er shall they come, and join battle with 
them, and shall \\-aste a portion of the land of 
the AssjTians. 

31 And then shall the '^dragons have the up- 
per hand, remembering their nature ; and if thej' 
shall tarn themselves, conspiring together in 
great power to persecute them, 

32 Then these shall be troubled, and keep si- 
lence tlvough their povrer, and shall flee. 

33 And from the land of theAssjTians shall the 
enemy besiege them, and consume some of 
them, and in their host shall be fear and dread, 
* and strife || among their kings. 

34 Behold, clouds from the east, and from 
the north unto the south, and they are veiy '' hor- 
rible to look upon, full of \\Tath and stonn. 

35 They shall smite one upon another, and 
they shcill smite down a great multitude ' of stai's 
upon the earth, e\en their o\\ n stai" ; * and blood 
shall be from the s^vord untp the belly, 

36 And dung of men unto the caiiia*s || hough. 

37 And there shall be great •* feaifiilness and

ment, 16 alms and charity in burying the dead ; 
19 for vohich he is accused and Jleeth, 22 and 
after returneth to Nineve. 

THE bfX)k of the || words of Tobit, son of 
Tobiel, the son of Ananiel, die son of Adu- 
el, the sf)n of Gabael, of the seed of Asael, 
of the tribe » of Nephthali ; 

2 Who in the time of ^ Enemessar king of 
the Assyrians, w as led c;iptive out of Thisbe, 
which is at the right hand of that citj', w hich 
is called jj properly Nei)hlhali in Galilee above 
Asf r 

3 i Tobit have walked all the days of my 
life in the way of tnUh and justice, and I did 
man> alms-deeds to my brethren, and my na- 
tion, who came w ith ine to Nineve, into the 
land' of die Assyrians. 

4 ,'\nd when I was in mine own countiy, 
in the land of Israel, Ix-ing but young, ' :ill the 
tribe of Nephthali my father fell from the house 
of Jerus;ilem, '' which was chosen out ofall the 
trilx's of Israel, that iill the tril^es should sacrifice 
there, where the temple of the habitation of the 
IVIost High was consecrated and built for all ages. 

5 Now all the trilx;s which togedie.- nvolt- 
ed, and the house of my father Nephthali, sa-

feasts, as it was ordained unto all the people 
of Israel by an everlasting decree, ^ having the 
first-fruits and tenths of increase, with tliiit 
which was first shorn ; and them gave I at the 
altar to the priests the children of Aaron. 

7 The first tenth part of all increase I gave to 

the sons of || Aaron, ^\'ho ministered at Jeru- 1*'^^'- 
salem : another tenth part I sold away, and went, 
and spent it every year at Jenisalcm : 

8 And the diird I gave unto them to whom 
it WHS meet, ^ as Debora my father's mother 
had commanded me, because I was left an or- 
phan by my father. 

9 Furthermore, when I was come to the 
age of a man, I miuried Anna of mine *" own 
kindred, and of her I begat Tobias 

10 And when we were carried away captives 
to Nineve, all my brethren and those that were 
of my kindred did eat of the ' bread of the Gen 
tiles.

16 And in tlie time of Enemessar, I gave 
many alms to my brethren, ^ and gave my bread 
to the hungiy, 

17 And my clothes to the naked : and if I 
saw any of my nation dead, or cast || about 
the -wails of Nineve, I buried him. 

18 And if the king Sennacherib had slain 
any, when he v/as come, and ^fled from Ju- 
dea, I buried them pri'sdly ; for in his \xx2Ah 
he killed many; but tlie bodies were not found 
when they were sought for of the king. 

19 And when one of the Ninevites went and 
complained of me to the king, that I buried them, 
and hid myself; understanding that I was sought 
fortobe put to death, "^ I withdrewmyself forfear. 

20 Then iUl my goods were forcibly taken a- 
way, neither was there any thing left me, be- 
side m-y wife Anna and my son Tobias. 

21 And there passed not five and fifty days 
before two of his sons " killed him, and they 
fled irito the mountains of Araiath ; and i| SSr- 
chedonus his son reigned in his stead ; aa ho 
appointed over his father's accounts, and over 
ail his affairs, Achiacharus my brother Anael's 
son. 

22 And Achiacharus intieating for me, I re- 
turned to ° Nineve.Now Achiacharus was p cup- 
bearer, and keeper of the signet, and stew- 
ard, and overseer of the accounts : ai:id I Sar- 
chedonus appointed him next unto him : and 
^ie was my brother's son.

OVV w hen I was come home again, and 
^ my w ife Anna was restored unto me, with 
my son Tobias, in the feast of Pentecost, which 
is ^ the holy feast of the seven weeks, there 
was a good dinner prepared me, in the which 
I sat down to eat. 

2 And when I saw abundance of meat, I said 
to my son, Go and bring what " poor man so- 
ever tliou shalt find out of our brethren, w-ho 
is mindful of the Lord ; and lo, 1 tarrj- for thee. 

3 But he came agriin, and said. Father, one 
of our nation is strangled, and is cast out in 
the market-place. 

4 Then before I had tasted of any meat, I 
started up, arid took him up into a room until 
the going do\ra of the sun. 

5 Then I returned and washed myself, and 
ate my meat in heaviness, 

6 Remembering that prophecy of ^ Amos, as 
he said. Your feast shall be turned into mourn- 
ing, and all jour mirth into lamentation. 

7 llierefore I wept : and after the going 
down of the sun, I went * and made a grave, 
and buried him. 

8 But my neighbours mocked me, and said, 
This man is not yet afiaid to be put to death 
for this matter ; ^ vi ho fled away ; and yet, lo, 
he burietli the dead iigain.

not belie\e her, but bade her render it to the

1 Tobit grie'ved with his wije^s taunts, prayeth. 
7 Sara, reproached by herfather^s maids, pray- 
eth also. 17 An angel is sent to help them both. 
THEN I being grieved * did weep, and in ^ chap. 2. 
my sorrow prayed, saying, 

2 O Lord, thou ait just, ^ and all thy w^orks bPs.145. 
and all thy vv^aj's ai'e mercy and truth, and thou 
judgest truly and justly for CA^er. 

3 Rem-cmber me, and look on me, punish 

me not for my sins and ignorances, •" and r/^(? cExod.^. 
sins of m.y fathers, who have sinned before 
tiiee : . 

4 For they obeyed not thy commandments : 
wherefore thou hast delivered us for a spoil, 

and unto captivitj^, and unto death, ^ and for ^"^^^^ 
a proverb of reproach to all the nations among 
whom we are dispersed. , 

5 And now thy * judgments are maiij* and true : 
deal with me according to my sins and my fathers' : 
because A\'e have not kept thy commandments, 
neither ha\'e walked in truth before thee. 

6 Now therefore deal with me ^ as seemeth ^^ sam. 3. 
best unto thee, and command my spirit to be 
taken from me, that I may be || dissolved, and 1 or, du- 
become earth : for it is profitable for me to die llUv^u.' 
rather than to live, because I have heai'd felse 
reproaches, and have much sorrow : command 
therefore that I may now be delivered out of 

this distress, and go into the ^ everlasting place : i^-^keie. 
tuiTi not thy face away fi^om m.e. 

7 It came to pass the same day, that in Ecba- 
tane a city of Media, Sara the daughter of Ra- 
guel was also reproached by her father's maids ; 

8 Because that she had been married to ^ se- 
ven husbands, whom Asmodeus the evil spi- 
rit had killed, before they had lain v. ith her. 
Dost thou aiot know, said they, that thou hast 
:-ti-angled thine husbands ? thou hast had already

1 1 Then '' she prayed tow iird the w indow, and 
said, Blessed art thou, O Lord mj- God, and thine

for c\er : ^ let all thy works praise thee for e\ er. 

12 And now, O Lord, I set mine eyes and 
my face toward thee, 

13 And say, *" Take me out of the earth, that 

I ma}' he;u- no more the reproach. 

14 Thou kn(nvest, Lord, that I am pure from

15 And diat I ne\er polluted my name, nor

A will do all things which thou hast com-

2 But how can I receive the '' money, seeing I 
know him not ? 

3 Then he gave him the hand-Awiting, and said 
unto him, Seek thee a man which may go with 
thee, whiles I yet live, and I will give him wages : 
and go and receive the money. 

4 Therefore M"hen he went to seek a man, he 
found Raphael that was an angel. 

5 But he knew not ; and he said unto him, 
Canst thou go witli me to " Rages ? and knowest 
thou those places well ? 

6 To whom the angel said, I will go with thee, 
and I kno^v the \v3iY ^^'ell : for I have lodged 
with our brother * Gabael. 

7 Then Tobias said unto him, Tarry for me 
till I tell my father. 

8 Then he said unto him. Go, and tarry not. 
So he went in and said to his father, Behold, I 
have found one which will go with me. Then 
he said. Call him unto me, that I may know of 
what tribe he is, and whether he be a trusty 
man to go with thee. 

9 So he called him, and he came in, and they 
* saluted one another. 

10 Then Tobit said unto him. Brother, shew 
me of what tiibe and family thou art. 

11 To whom he said, Dost thou seek for a 
tribe or family, or an hired man to go with thy 
son ? Then Tobit said unto him, ^ I would know, 
brother, thy kindred and name. 

12 Then he said, I am Azarias^-the son of Ana- 
nias the great, and of thj' bretlven. 

13 Then Tobit said. Thou art ^^elcome, bro- 
ther ; be not now angry with me, because I have 
enquired to know thytiibeand thy family; for 
diou art my brother, oi'an honest and good stock : 
for I know Ananias and Jonathas, sons of that 
great Samaias, as we ^ went together to Jerusalem 
to worship, and oftered the first-boni, and the 
tenths of tlie fruits ; and they were not seduced 
^ udth tlie enoi' of our brethren : my brother, 
thou ait of a good stock. 

14 But tell me, ' what w^ages shall I give 
thee ? vjilt thou a drachm a day, and things neces-

15 Yea, moreover, if ye return safe, I will add 
something to thy wages. 

16 So they were well pleased. Then said he 
to Tobias, Prepare thyself for the journey, ''and 
Godsend you a good journey. And when his 
son had prepai^ed all things for the journey, his fa- 
dier said, Go thou v ith this man, and God, which 
dwelleth in heaven, prosper your journey, and 
the ' angel of God keep you company. So they 
went forth both, and the young man's dog with 
them.

4 The angel hiddeth Tobias to take the liver, heart, 
a?id gall out of a fish, 10 and to marry Sara the 
daughter of Raguel : 16 andteacheth hoiv to 
drive the wicked spirit away. 

AND as they went on their journey, they 
came in the evening to the river Tigris, ^ and 
they lodged there. 

2 And Avhen the young man went dovm to 
wash himself, a fish leaped out of the river, 
and would have devoured him.

take the heart, and the liver, and the gall, and put

ed him; and when they had roasted the fish, 
they did eat it : then thev both went on their way, 
tin they drew near to '^ Ecbatane. 

6 Then the young man said to the angel. Bro- 
ther ^ Azarias, to what use is the heart, and the 
liver, and the gall of the fish 1 

7 And he said unto him. Touching the heart 
and the liver, if a devil or an evil spirit trouble 
any, we must make a smoke thereof before the 
man or the Avoman, and the party shall be no more 
vexed. 

8 As for the gall, it is good to anoint a man that 
hath * whiteness in his eyes, and he shall be 
healed. 

9 And wlien they were come near to Rages, 

10 The angel said to the young man. Brother, 
to-day we shall lodge with * Raguel, Avho is thy 
cousin ; he also hath one only daughter, named 
s Sai-a ; I will speak for her, that she may be giv- 
en thee for a wife. 

11 For to thee doth the Upright of her apper- 
tain, seeing thou only art of her kindred. 

12 And the maid is fair and wise : now there- 
fore hear me, and I will speak to her father ; and 
when we return fi-om Rages we will celebrate 
the marriage : for I know that Raguel cannot mar- 
ry her to another according to tlie law of Moses^ 
but he shall be guilty of death, because the right 
of inlieritance doth rather appertain to thee than 
to any other. 

13 Then the young man ansv/ered the angel, 
I have heard,, brother Azarias, ' that this maid 
hath been given to seven men, who all died in 
tlie marriage chamber. 

14 ^ And now I am the only son of my father

9 So they slept both that ni^ht. And Raguel 
arose, and went and made a grave, 

10 Saying, I fear lest he also be dead. 

11 But when Raguel was come into his house, 

12 He said unto his ^ ^vife Edna, Send one of 
the maids, and let her see whether he be alive : if 
he be not, that we may bury him, and no man 
know it. 

13 So the maid opened the door, and went in, 
and found them both asleep, 

14 And came forth, and told them that he was 
alive. 

15 Then Raguel ' praised God, and said, O God, 
thou art worthy to be praised with all pure and 
holy praise ; therefore let thy saints praise thee 
\^ ith all thy creatures ; and let all thine angels and 
thine elect praise thee for ever. 

16 Thou ait to be praised, ^ for thou hast made 
me joyful ; and that is not come to me wliich I 
suspected ; but thou hast dealt with us according 
to thy great mercy. 

17 Thou art to be praised, because thou hast 
had mercy of ' two that were the only-begotten 
children of their fathers : grant them mercy, O 
Lord, and finish their life in health with joy and 
mercy. 

18 Then Raguel bade his serv^ants to fill the 
grave. 

19 And he kept the " wedding feast fourteen 
days. 

20 For before the days of the marriage were 
finished, Raguel had said unto him by an oath, 
that he should not depart till " the fourteen days of 
the marriage were expired ; 

21 And then he should take the half of his 
goods, and go in safety to his father ; and should 
have the rest when I and my wife be dead. 

CHAP. IX. 

1 Tobias sendeth the angel unto Gabaelfor the mo- 
ney : 6 the angel bringeth it and Gabael to the

THEN Tobias called * Raphael, and said unto 
him, 

2 Brother Azarias, take with thee a servant, 
and two camels, and go to ^ Rages of Media, to 
Gabael, and bring me the money, and bring liim 
to the wedding. 

3 For Raguel hath sworn that I shall not de- 
part. 

4 But my father counteth the days ; and if I tar- 
ry long, he will be very sony. 

5 So Raphael went out, and lodged with "^ Ga- 
bael, and ga'S'e him the hand- wiiting : who brought 
forth bags which were sealed up, and gave them to 
him. 

6 And early in the morning they ^vent forth 
both together, and came to the wedding: and 
li Tobias blessed his wife.

OW Tobit his father ^ counted every day : ^ci'^p- 
and when the days of the journey wei-e ex-

2 Then Tobit said, Are they detained ? or is 
Gabael dead, and there is no man to give him the 
money ? 

3 Tiierefore he was very sorry. 

4 Then his wite said unto him, My son is dead, 
seeing he stayeth long ; and she began to bewail 
him, and said, 

5 No'vj ^ I care for nothing, my son, since I have \ll^'^- 
let thee go, the light of mine eyes. 

6 To whom Tobit said, Hold thy peace, " take <: pwi- -".s 
no care, for he is safe. 

7 But she said. Hold thy peace, and deceive me 
not ; my son is dead. And she went out every 
day into the way which they went, and did 
eat no meat on the day-time, and ceased not 
whole. nights to bewail her son Tobias, until 

"^ the fourteen days of the wedding were expired, ''^ciiap.s, 
which Raguel had sworn that he should spend 
there. Then Tobias said to Raguel, ^ Let me j^^^'; ?* 
go, for my father and my mother look no more 
to see me. 

8 But his father-in-law said unto hiln, Tai-- 
ly with me, and I 'will send to thy father, and 
they shall declare unto him how things go with 
thee. 

9 But Tobias said, No ; but let me go to my 
father. 

10 Then Raguel arose, and gave him Sara his 
wife, and half his goods, servants, and cattle, and 
money : 

11 And *"he blessed them, and ^sent them ^p'^^"- 2* 
aAvay, saying. The God of heaven give you agGen.24-

12 And he said to his daughter^ ^ Honour ^^^f""*-

3 And when he ^^as very aged, ^ he called his 'l^^''- «•

My son, take thy children ; for behold, I am aged, 
and am ready to depart out of this life.

those things which " Jonas the prophet spake of j J^^'- <■• 
Nineve, that it shall be overthro^.i.n ; ai'sd that 
for a time peace shall rather be in ^ Media ; and i^^^^- '• 
that our brethi'en shall lie scattered in the eaitli

them, and bring them again into the land, where 
they shall build a temple, ^ but not like to the [^^^^ «• 
first, until the time of that age be fulfilled ; and

captivity, and build up Jerusalem gloriously, 
and the house of God shall be built in ic jj for fsl'otZ"'

people shall confess God, and the Lord shall ex- 
alt his people ; and all those 'v^-hich love the Lord 
God in truth and justice shall rejoice, shewing 
mercy to our brethren. 

8 And now, m\- son, ''depart out of Nineve, ijff?; *' 
because that those things ^^liich the prophet Jo-

that were raised to tlie height of seventy cubits, 
and the breadth of them a\ as forty cubits, for 
the going forth of his mighty armies, and for 
tlie setting in array of his ibotmen : 

5 Even in those days king Nabuchodonosor 
made war with king Ari^haxad in the gi^eat plain, 
which is the plain in the l)orders of l^ga\i.

17 And whilst they sinned not before their 
God, they prospered, becaiise the God ^ that 
hateth iniquity was \vith th-'uri. 

18" But wlien they departed from tlie way 
which he appointed them, they were desti'oyed in 
many battles very sore, "^ and were led captives 
into a land that was not theirs, and the temple of 
their God \^'as cast to tlie ground, and their ci- 
ties were takey by the enemies. 

19 But y no^v ai'e they returned to their God, 
and are come up from the places v/here they were 
scattered, and have possessed Jerusalem, ^vhere 
their sanctuary is, and || are seated in '^ tlie lull- 
country ; for it Avas desolate. 

20 Now therefore, my lord and governor, * if 
there be any eiTor in this people, and they sin 
against their God, let us consider that this shall be 
their ruin, and let us go up, and we shall over- 
come them. 

21 But if there be no iniquity in their nation, 
let my lord now pass by, lest their Lord defend 
them, and ^ their God be for them, and we be- 
come a reproach before all the \vorId. 

22 x\nd when Achior had finished these say- 
ings, all the people standing round about the tent 
murmured, and the chief men of Holofemes, and 
all that dwelt by the sea-side, and in Moab, 
spake that he should kill him. 

23 For, say theij, v/e will not be afraid of the 
face of the childi'en of Israel ; for lo, it is ^ a 
people that have no strength nor power t for a 
strong battle. 

24 Now therefore, lord liolofemes, we will go 
up, and_ they shall be a prey to be devoured 
of all thine army. 

CHAP. VI. 
1 HoloJ^ornes despiseth God: 7 he t/ireateneth 
Achior, and sendeth him arcay. 14 The Be- 
thidians receive and hear hhn. 18 They fall 
to prayer, and comfort Achior. 

ND when the ^ tumult of men that were a- 
bout the council was ceased, Flolofenies 
the chief captain of the anny of Assur said unto 
Achior and all the Moabites, before all the com- 
pany of otlier nations, 

2 And who art thou, Achior, and the hirelings 
of Ephraim, that thou hast prophesied among us 
as to-day, and hast said, tliat we should not 
make war with the people of Israel, because their 
God will defend them ? ^ and who is God but 
Nabuchodonosor .'' 

3 He will send his power, and will destroy 
them from the face of the earth, and their God 
shall not deliver them : but we his servants ■= will 
destroy them as one man ; for they are not able 
to sustain the power of our horses. 

4 For y/ith them we will tread them underfoot, 
and ^ their mountains shall be drunken with their 
blood, and their fields -hall be filled with their 
dead bodies, and their footsteps shall not be able

to stand before us, for tliey shall utterly perish, 
salth king Nabuchodonosor, lord of all the earth : 
for he said. None of my words shall be in 
vain. 

5 And thou, Achior, ^an hireling of Ammon, ever.s. 
which hast spoken these A^ords in the day of 
thine iniquity, shait see my fece no ir.ore from 

this day, until I fcike vengeance of this nation _^ 

f that came out of Egypt. X^^^l *• 

6 And then shall the sword of mine ai'my, and 
the multitude of them that serve me, pass through 
thy sides, and thou shalt fall among their slcJn, 
when I return. 

7 Now therefore ^ my servants shall bring thee e ver. e. 
back into the hill-countrj', and shall set thee in 

one of the cities '^ of the passages. h chap. 4, 

8 And thou shalt not perish, till thou be de- 
stroyed M ith them. 

9 And if thou persuade thyself in thy mind 
that they shall not be taken, let not thy coun- 
tenance fall : I have spoken it, and none of my 
words shall be in vain. 

10 Then Holofenies commanded his servants, 
that Avaited in his ' tent, to take Achior, and ; 
bring him to Bethulia, and deliver him into the 
hands of the children of Israel. 

11 So his servants took him, and brought him 
out of the camp into the plain, and they went 
from the midst of the plain into '^ the hill-coun- 
try, and came unto the fountains that vi ere un- 
der Bethulia. 

12 And when the men of the city saw them, 
they took up their \^"eapons, and w&xX. out of 
the city to the top of the hill : and every man that 
used ^ a sling kept them from coming up by cast- 
ing of stones against them. 

13 Nevertheless, having gotten privily un- 
der the hill, they bound Achior, ajid cast him 
down, and left him at the loot of the hill, and 
returned to their "" lord. 

14 But tlie Israelites descended from their citj% 
and came unto him, and loosed him, and brought 

him into " Bethulia, and presented him to the nver.w. 
governors of the city : 

15 Which were in those days Ozias the son 
of Micha, of the tribe of Simeon, and Chabris 
the son of Gothoniel, and Charmis the son of 
Melchie). 

16 And they called together all ° the ancients OjE^^.s. 
of the city, and all their youtli run together, and 
their women, to the assembly, and they set A- 
chior in the midst of all their people. Then O- 

zias asked him of that which WdiS done. 

17 And he answered and declared unto tliem 

the words of p the council of Holofernes, an.dP^""-* 
all the M'ords that he had spoken in the midst 
of the princes of Assur, and vvhatsoever liolo- 
femes had spoken proudly against the liouse 
of Israel. 

18 Then the people "^ fell down and worship- <iTs-72.". 
ped God, and cried unto God, saying, 

19 O '^ Lord God of heaven, behold their pride, '^^'^^r*-*- 
and pity the low estate of our nation, and look 

upon the face of those that are sanctified unto 
thee this day. \

4 No^v the cliiklren of Israel, when tliey saw 
the multitude of them, were greatly troubled, 
and said every one to his neiglibour, ^ No^^ 
will these men lick up the face of the eiirth; 
for neither the high mount;uns, nor the valleys,

5 Then twry man took up his v/eapons of

7 And \ ic ^\ed ^ die passages up to the cit}-, 
and came to « the fountains of their waters, iuid 
took them, and set giurisons of men of war 
ovtr them, :md he himself remo^ed toAvard

8 Then came unto him all tixc chief of the

16 And diese words pleaded Holofemes and »'«5-4. "

had sj^oken. 

17 So the camp of the children of Aii.mon 
depaited, and with them ti\e tliousand Oi die 
Assyrians, and they pitched in tiie valley, and 
"took the waters, and the fountains of die wa-over. u.

18 Then die childixn of Esau went up with 
die children of Ammon, and caniped in die

were pitched to a \eiy' great multitude. 

19 Then the ' children of Israel cried unto r exo<l 14. 
die Lord their God, because their heiut failed, "" 

lor all their enemies had compassed diem round 
about, and diere was no \\ ay to escape out from

20 Thus all the company of Assur remain-

1 The state and behaviour of Judith a ~ivido%v. 
12 She blameth the governors fo7- their pro- 
mise to yield, 17 and ad--oiseth them to trust 
in God. 28 777^^ excuse their promise. 32 She 
promiseth to do something for them. 

NOW at that time Judith heard thereof, 
A\"hich \x?is the diuighter of ^ Merari, the 
son of Ox, the son of Joseph, the son of Oziel, 
the son of Elcia, the son of Ananias, the son 
of Gedeon, die son of Raphaim, the son of 
Acitho, the sonof Eliu, the son of Eliab, the son 
of Nathanael, the son of il Samael, die son of 
Salasadai, the son of Israel. 

2 AndManasses A^'as her husband, of her tribe 
and k indited, who died in ■'' the bai'ley hai-^est. 

3 For •= as he stood overseeing them that 
bound sheav^es in the field, the heat came upon 
his head, and he fell on his bed, and died in 
the city of Bethulia : and they buried hijn with 
his fathers in the field between ^ Dothaim and 
Balamo. 

4 So Judith A\as a widow in her house tliree 
yeai's and four months. 

5 Ajid she made her a tent upon the top of 
her house, and put on sackcloth upon her louis, 
and ware her wido\\''s appai^el. 

6 And ^ she fasted all the daj's of her vvido\v- 
hood, sa\e the e\es of the sabbaths, and the 
sabbaths, and the e\es of the nevv moons, and 
the ne\v moons, and the feasts and solemn days 
of the house of Israel. 

7 She Avas also of a goodly countenance, and 
very beautiful to behold: and her husband 
Manasses had left her gold, and siher, and men- 
ser\'ants, and maid- servants, and cattle, and 
kmds; || and she rem,ained upon them. 

8 And there was none that gave her an ill word ; 
for she feai'ed God greatly. 

9 Now M'hen she heaid *" the evil Mords of 
the people against the govenioi , that they faint- 
ed for lack of water ; for Judith had heaid all 
s die words that Ozias had spoken unto them, 

51 3D \\ 



, VIII. Apocrypha. 729 

and that he had sworn to deliver the city unto 
the Assyrians after five days; 

10 Then she sent her waiting-woman, that had 
the go^eniment of all things that she had, to 

Ciill Ozias, and *" Chabris, and Charmis, ' the ^chap.s 
ancients of the city. ichap.e. 

11 Andthej* came unto her, and she said unto **• 
them. Hear me now, O ye governors of die in- 
liabitants of Bethulia : for yonv words that ye 
have spoken before the people this day are not 
right, touching diis ^ oata which ye made and ^ ^^^- ' 
pronounced between God and you, and have pro- 
mised to deliver the city to our enemies, un- 
less within these days die Lord turn to help you. 

12 And now who are ye that have ' tempted ii's-55.?. 
God this day, and stand instead of God among 

the childi-en of men ? 

13 And now tiy the Lord Almighty, but ye 
shall nev^er know any tiling. 

14 For je cannot find the depth of the heart 
of man; neither can ye perceive the thing's that 

he thinketh : '"then how can ye search out God, f^^J\, 
diat hath made all these things, and know hissa-sT' 
mind, or comprehend his purpose? Nay, nw 
bi-etliien, provoke not the Lord oui' God to 
anger. 

15 For if he will not help us w itliin these five 
days, ° he hath power to defend us when he will, ^ ^^^- *- 
even every day, or to desti-oy us before our ene- 
mies. 

16 Do not II bind the counsels of the Lord |„°^'^ 
our God : for ° God is not as man, that he maj, o nuLi,. 
be tiireatened ; neither is he as the son of man, jj; \';-g^- 
that he should be wavering. 

17 Therefore let us ^wait for salvation ofPj*^-"^- 
him, and call upon him to help us, and he will 

heai' our voice, if it please him. 

1 8 For there arose none in our age, neither 
is there any now in these davs, neidier tribe 

nor family, nor Ij people, nor city, among us, ior,«,-uM. 
wliich worsliip gods made with hands, i as hath q judges 2. 
been aforetime. ^'ti*'^' 

19 For the wliich cause our fathers were giv- 
en to the sword, and for a spoil, and had a 
gi-eat fall before our enemies. 

20 But we know none other god, therefore 

"" we ti-ust that he vsill not despise us, nor any r ps- 12=. 
of our nation. ^' 

21 For if w-e be taken so, all Judca shall lie 
waste, ' and our sanctuary shall be spoiled ; and = t^'- "■*• " 
he will require the profanation thereof at our 
mouth. 

22 And_ the || slaughter of our brethren, and c or, jean 
the captivity of the country, and the desolation 

of our inheritance, will he tuni upon our heads 
among the Gentiles, wheresoever we shall be 
in bondage; * and we shall be an offence^ and toeut.as. 
a reproach to all them that possess us. ^'■ 

23 For our servitude shall not be directed to 
favour : but the Lord our God shall turn it to 
dishonour. 

24 Now therefore, O brethren, let us shew 
an 'example to our brethren, because dieir heaits 
depend upon us, " and the sanctuaiy, and the " "^e"-- =- 
house, and the altai", rest upon us.

29 For this is not the first day wherein thy

30 •• But the people \\ere \ery thirsty, and 
compelled us to do imto diem as we have spok-

which were meyed with diy zeal, and abhor- 

led ^ the pollution of their blood, and called 

upon thee for aid : O God, O my God, hear 

me also ^ a widow . 

5 For thou hast wrought not only those things, 
but also the tilings which fell out before and 
w hich ensued after ; thou hast thought upon the 
things A\ hich mc now, and ^\ hich arc to come. 

6 Yea, '^ w hat things thou didst deteniiine \^'^'

for all thy ways are prepiued, and thy judg-

7 For, behold, the Assjrians * are multipli-

footmen ; they trust in shield and speiir, and 
bow iuid sling ; and know not diat thou art the 
Lord that breakest tlie battles : the Lord is

8 J hrow down their stiength in thy power, 
and bring down their force in thy wrath : '' for 
they have pujposed to defile thy sanctuaiy, and 
to pollute the tabernacle where thy glorious 
name resteth, imd to cast down \'.ith sword

9 Behold their pride, and send thy wi^fh 
upon their heads : give into mine hand, which 
am a widow, the power that I have conceived. 

10 ' Smite by the deceit of my lips the ser- 
vant w ith the prince, and die prince with the

11 '" For thy power standeth not in multi-

12 I pray thee, I piiay thee, " O God of my jcen.ss.

4 And she took sandals upon her feet, and 
'' put about her her bracelets, and her chains, and 
her rings, and her ear-rings, and all her orna- 
ments, and decked herself bravely, to allure 
the eyes of all men that should see her. > 

5 Then she gave her maid a bottle d'wine, 
and a cruse of oil, and filled a bag with par-

bread ; so she || folded all these things together,

Charmis. 

7 And when they saw her, that her counte- 
nance was altered, ^ and her apparel was chang-

and said unto her, 

8 The God, ^ the God of our fathers, give 
thee favour, and accomplish thine enterprises 
to the glory of the children of Israel, and to the 
exaltation of Jemsalem. llien they worship- 
ped -God. 

9 And she said unto them, Command the gates 
of the city to be opened unto me, that I may 
go forth to accomplish the things whereof ye 
have spoken with me. So they commanded tlie 
young men to open unto her, as she had spoken. 

10 And when they had done so, Judith went 
out, she, and her maid with her; and the men of 
the city looked after her, until she was gone 
do^\^l the mountain, ' and till she had passed 
the valley, and could see her no more. 

1 1 Thus they went straight forth in tlie valley : 
and the first watch of the "'Assyrians met her, 

12 And took her, and asked her, Of what 
people art thou ? and whence comest thou .'' and 
whither goest thou ? ' And she said, I am a wo- 
man of the Hebrews, and am fled from them : 
for they shall be given you to be consumed : 

13 And I am coming before Holofenies the

truth ; and I will shew him a way ^^'^hereby he 
sliall go, and win all the hill-country, without 
losing the body or life of any one of his men. 

14 Now when the men heard her words, 
and beheld her countenance, ™ they wondered 
gi'eatly at her beauty, and said unto her, 

15 Thou hast saved thy life, in that thou hast 
hasted to come down to the presence of our 
lord : now therefore, come to his tent, and 
some of us shall conduct thee, until they have 
delivered thee to his hands.

17 Then they chose out of them ati hundred

brought her to the tent of Hoiolemes. 

18 Then was there a concourse throughout all 
the camp : for her coming was noised aniong the 
tents, and they came about her, as she stood with- 
out the tent of Holofernes, till they told hiniof her. 

19 ° And they wondered at her beauty, and ad- 
mired the children of Israel because of her, and 
everyone said to his neighbour, p Who would de- 
spise this people that have among them such wo- 
men ? surely it is not good that one man of them 
be left, who being let go might deceive the whole 
eaith. 

20 And they that lay near Holofernes ^vent 
out, and all his servants, and they brought her 
into "^ the tent. 

21 Now Holofernes rested upon his bed un- 
der a canopy, which was woven with purple, 
and gold, and emeralds, and precious stones. 

22 So they shewed him of her ; and he came 
out before his tent with silver lamps going before 
him. 

23 And when Judith was come before him and 
his servants, '^ they all mai-velled at the beauty o:-

14 Then said Judith unto him, ™ Who am I 
no^^% that I should gainsay my lord ? sm-ely what- 
soever pleaseth liim I will do speedily, and it 
shall be my joy unto the day of my death. 

15 So she arose, " and decked herself witli her 
appai-el and all her Avoman's attire, and her maid 
went and laid soft skins on the ground for her o- 
\tY against Holofernes, \vhich she had received 
of ° Bagoas for her daily use, that she might sit 
and eat upon them. 

16 Now ^vhen Judith came in and sat down, 
Holofernes' heaii: amis ravished with her, and his 
mind Avas moved, and he desired greatly her com- 
pany ; for he A\'aited a time to deceive her, from 
die day that he had seen her. 

17 Tiien said Holofernes unto her. Drink now, 
p and be meny w'lXh us. 

18 So Judith said, I v, ill drink now, my lord, 
because my life is magnified in me this day more 
than all the days since I was bora. 

19 Then she took and ate and drank before him 
M'hat 1 her maid had prepared. 

20 And Holofernes took great dehght in her, 
and di-ank much more wine than he had ch'unk

2 Judith is left alone with Holofernes in his tent. 
4 She prayet/i God to give her strength. 7 She 
cntteth of his head while he slept, 10 and re- 
tnrnethvjith it to Bet hid la. 17 They seeing it, 
commend her. 

NOW \\^hen the e%ening vvas come, ^ his ser- 
A-ants m.ade hiiste to depait , and Bagoas shut 
his tent without, and dismissed the waiters from 
the presence of his lord ; and tliey went to tJieir

3 NoAv Judith had commanded lier m.aid to 
stand -without her bed-chamber, and to wait for 
her coming forth, as she did daily : for she said 
she A\ ould go forth <^ to her prayers, and she spake 
to Bagoas according to the s^ime purpose. 

4 So all v.ent forth, and none was left in the 
bed-chamber, neither litcle nor great. Then Ju- 
dith, standing by his bed, said ^ in her hccirt, O

8 ^' And she smote twice upon his neck v.ith g^^^J^^g- 
all her might, and she took away his head from "^■^^' 
him, 

9 And tumbled his body down from the bed, 
and pulled doMTi the canopy from the pillars ; 
and anon after she went forth, and gave Holofer- 
nes' head to ^ her maid ; ^ ver. s. 

10 And she put it in her bag of meat : so they 
twain went together according to their custom 
unto praA'er : and when they passed the camp, 
they compassed 'the valley, and went up tlie yp'"^?-"- 
mountain of Bethulia, and came to the gates. " 
thereof. 

11 Then said Judith afar off to the v/atchmen 
'' at the gate. Open, open, now the gate : God, ^chap.w, 
even our God, is with us to shew his power yet " 
in Jerusalem, and his forces against the enemy, 
as he hath even done this day. 

V2 Now when the men of her city heard her 
voice, they made haste to go down to the gate of 
their city, and they called 'the elders of the' chap.?, 
city. ^^• 

13 And then they ran all together, both small, 
and great, for it was strange unto them that she 
vv^as come : so they opened the gate, and receiv- 
ed them, and made a fii-e for a light, and stood 
round about them. 

14 Then she said to them with a loud voice, 
" Praise, praise God, praise God, I say, for he "^ P'^- i"^-

THEN said Judith unto dicm, Hccu- mc now,

of Holofernes, but shiill not find him : then fciir

5 But before ye do these Uimgs, call me * A- 
cliior die Ammonite, that he may see and know^ 
him that despised the house of Israel, and diat 
sent him to us, as it were to his death. 

6 Then they called Achior out of the house of

of Holofernes in a man's liand in the assembly 
of the people, he fell dow n on his face, iuid his

8 Now theiefore tell me all tne things that thou 
hast done in these diiys. Then Judith declared 
unto him in the midst of die people all that she 
had done, from die day that she went forth until 
diat hour she spake unto them. 

9 And when she had left oft speaking, ^ the 
people shouted witli a loud \ oice, and made a

10 And when Achior had seen ail that the Uod 
of Israel had done, he belie\ ed in God greatly, 
and circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, and was 
'joined unto the house of Israel unto this day. 

11 And as soon as the moniing arose, dicy 
hanged die head of Holofernes upon the w all, and

that there was no man that durst abide in the

of Israel, such as should tell the things that were 
done, and that all should ** rush forth upon their 
enemies to destroy them.

they all fell upon dieni widi one consent, and slew

from Jerusalem, and from all the hill-countrj-,

die camp of their enemies,) and tiiey that were in 
Giilaad, and in Galilee, || chased them widi a 
great slaughter, until they were piissed Damas-

upon the camp of Assur, *'aiid .spoiled them, and

3 Now ^^'hen I asked my coumeliors how this 
'.^"lij"' n^'S'"'* t)^ brought to pass, *= Aman, that excelled 

' in wisdom among us, ai:id %\'as appro^ ed for his 
d Esther 3. constant good ■\\ill and stedfast fidelitj", ^ and had 
the honour of the second place in the king- 
dom, 

4 Declai-ed unto us, that in all nations tlirough- 
out the world tliere \\as scattered "^ a certain mali- 
cious people, that had la'S'is contiaiy to all nati- 
ons, and continually despised the commandments 
of kings, so as' the uniting of om- kingdoms, 
honourably mtended by us, cannot || go for- 
ward. 

5 Seeing then ^ve understand that this people 
alone is continually in opposition unto all men, 
differing in the strange manner of tlieir laws, and 
evil-affected to our state, ^ ^'^-orking all the mis- 
chief they can, that our kingdom may not be 
firmly established : 

6 Therefore ha^e we commanded, that all they 
that are signified in ^ATiting unto you by Aman, 

j^'uff^ M'ho is ordained over the afftiirs, and is || next 
ver. 3, ' unto us, shall all with their wives and childi'en be [ 
utterly destroyed by the sword of their enemies, 
without all mercy and pity, the fourteenth day

■ 7 That they A\ho of eld and now also are ma- 
licious, may in one daj- with \'iolence go into the 
gra^-e, and so ever hereafter cause our affairs to 
be well settled and w ithout trouble. 

8 Then Mai-docheus'' thought upon all the 
wo As of the Lord, and made his praj-er unto him, 

9 Saying, O Lord, Lord, the King Almighty : 
for the whole world ' is in thy power, and if thou 
hast appomted to saA'e Israel, there is no man 
that can gainsay thee : 

10 For thou hast made heaven and earth, andall 
the wondrous things under the heaAcn. 

11 Thou art Lord of all things and there is 
no man that can resist thee, which art the 
Lord. 

12 Thou knowest all things, and thou know- , 
^Esther 3. gg^, Lord, ^ that it was neither in contempt nor 

pride, nor for any desire of glorj-, that I did 
not bow down to proud Aman. 

13 For 1 1 could ha\'e been content ^v-ith good 
v.;ill {'or the salvation of Israel, to kiss the soles of

14 But I did this, that I might not prefer the 
gloiy of man above the gl6r>' .of God : neither 
^\ ill I worship anj- but thee, O God, neither will 
I do it in pride. 

15 And vow , O Lord God and King, "" spare 
tliy people : for their eyes aje upon us to bring 
us to nought ; yea, they desire to destroy the in- 
heritance, that hath been thine from the begin-

2 To ivhom God shexveth himself., 4 mid xmsdom 
herself. 6 An evil speaker cannot lie hid. Y2We 
procure our own destruction : 13 for God creat- 
ed not death. ^ 

LOVE * righteousness, ye that be judges of 
the eaith : think of the Lord with a good 
(heart,) and in simplicity of heart seek him. 

2 For he will be found of them '' that tempt him 
not ; and sheweth liimself unto such as do not 
" distrust him. 

3 For fi-oward thoughts separate from God : and 
his power, when it is tried, || reproveth the unwise. 

4 For into a malicious soul wisdom shall not en- 
ter; nor dwell in the body that is subject unto sin. 

5 ^ For the holy spirit of discipline will flee de- 
ceit, and remove from thoughts that are A^ithout 
understandiiig, and || will not abide wh&w umigh- 
teousness cometh in. 

6 For wisdom is a ^ loving spirit ; and will not 
acquit a blasphemer of his || words : for God is 
witness of his reins, and a tme beholder of his 
heart, and a heai'cr of his tongue. 

7 For the spirit of the Lord fiUeth the world : 
and that which || contiiineth all things, hath know- 
ledge of the voice. 

8 Therefore he that speaketh unrighteous things 
^ cannot be hid : neither shall vengeance, when 
it punisheth, pass by him. 

9 For inquisition shall be made into the coun- 
sels of the ungodly : and the sound of his words 
shall come unto the Lord tor the 1| manifestation 
of his wicked deeds. 

10 For the eai- of jealousy heareth all things: 
and the noise of murmurings is not hid. 

1 1 Therefore beware of ^ murmuring, which 
is unprofitable ; and refrain your tongue from 
backbiting : for there is no word so secret, that 
shall go for nought : and the mouth that || belieth 
slayeth the soul. 

12 Seek not death in the error of your life : 
and pull not upon yourselves "^ desti-uction with 
the works of your hands. 

13 For God made not death : ' neither hath he 
pleasure in the destruction of the living. 



14 For ^ he created all things, that they might 
have their being : and the generations of the world 
\yere_ healthful ; and there is no poison of destruc- 
tion in them, nor the kingdom of death upon the 
earth. 

15 ( For righteousness is immortal :) 

16 * But ungodly men \\\^ their works and 
words called it to them : for when they thought 
to have it their fi-iend, they consumed to nought, 
and made a covenant with it, because they are 
worthy to take pait with it. 

CHAP. n. 

I The xmcked think this life shorty 5 and of no other 
after this. 6 Therefore they will take their plea- 
sure in this, 10 and conspire against the just. 
21 What that is which doth blind them. 

FOR the ungodly said, reasoning with them- 
seh^es, but not aright, * Our life is short and 
tedious, ^ and m the death of a man tliere is no 
remedy ; neither was there any man known to 
ha\-e retm-ned from the grave. 

2 For we ai-e bom at all ad\"enture : and we 
shall be hereafter as though we had never been : 
for the breath in our nostrils is as smoke, and a 
little spark in the moving of our heart : 

3 Which being extinguished, ^ our body shall 
be turned into ashes, and our spirit shall vanish 
as the II soft air ; 

4 And our name shall be forgotten in time, 
and no man shall have our works in remem- 
brance, and our life shall pass a^^•ay as the trace 
of a cioud, and .shall be dispersed as the mist that 
is driven away with the beams of the sun, and 

II o\ercome with the heat thereof 

5 ^ For our time is a very shadow that passeth 
av.ay •, and after our end there is no returning : 
for II it is fast sealed, so that no mail cometh again. 

6 Come on therefore, let us enjoy the good 
things ^ that are present : and let us || speedily 
use the creatures like as in youth. 

^ 7 Let us fill ourselves %\'ith costly wine and 
ointments : and let no floAAcr of the spring pass 
by us : 

8 Let us crown oursehes with rose buds, 
^ before they be witliered.

17 For they shall see the end of the wise, and

decreed of him, and to what end the Lord hath 
set him in safety, 

18 They shall see him, and despise him : but 
"^ shall laugh them to scorn : and they shali 

hereaiter be a ^'ile cai'case, and a reproach among

19 For he shall rend them, and cast them dG\Mi

3 And w hen I \\ as bom, I drew in the com-

nature, and the first \oice which I uttered was 
ciying, as all odiers do. 

4 I was nursed ill,'' swaddling-clothes, and that

5 For there is no king that had any other be-

6 '' For all men have one entrance into life, and

7 ' \\^ here fore I prayed, and understanding 
was gi\en me : I called upon God, and tlie spirit 
of V. isdom came to me. 

8 I prcfeiTcd her before sceptres and thrones, 
and esteemed riches nothing in compaiuson of 
her. 

9 Neither compared I unto her any f precious 
stone, because all gold in respect of her is as a lit- 
tle sand, and Silver shall be counted as ela\- be- 
fore her, 

10 I lo\ed her abo^c healdi and iieautj-, and 
chose to Inne her instead of light : for the light 
that conicth from her never gcxth out.

12 And I rejoiced in tlu-m all, because wis-

'^ the Avorld \vas made, and the operation of the

18 The beginning, ending, and midst of the

and the virtues of roots : 

21 And all such things as are ^ either secret or 
manifest, them I know. 

22 For -^lisdom, v^hich is the worker of all

Apocrr/pha. WISDOM of 

OGOD of my fathers, and Lord of mercy, 
•' who hast made all things witli thj, word, 

2 And ordained man through thy wisdom, tliut 
he .should ^ ha\e dominion over the creatures 
which thou hast made, 

3 And order tlie world according to equity 
and rii':hteousness, and execute judgment with an 
upriirltt heart: 

4 Give " me w isdom, that sitteth by thy thione ; 
and reject me not from among thy children : 

5 For I '^ lh\- ser\ant, and son of thine hand- 
maid, am a feeble person, and of a short time, 
and too young for the understanding of judgment 
ujkI laws. 

6 For though a man be never so perfect among 
the children of men, yet if diy wisdom be not 
with him, he skill be notliing regarded. 

7 Thou hast chosen me to be a * king of thy 
people, and a judge of thy sons and daugh- 
ters : 

8 Thou hast commanded me to ^ build a tem- 
ple upon thy holy mount, and an altar in the cit3,' 
wherein diou dwellcst, a resemblance of the holy 
tabernacle, which tliou hast prepiired from the 
beginning. 

9 And s wisdom was wilh thee : which know- 
eth tliy works, ^ ;md was present when thou 
madest the workl, and kne^v w luu was accepta- 
ble in thy sight, and right in thy command- 
ments. 

10' O send her out of thj' lioly heavens, and 
from the throne of thy gloiy, that being present 
she ma\- labour with me, tliat I may kno^v wliat 
is pleasing unto thee. 

11 For she knoweth and understandeth Jill 
things, and she shall lead me soberly in my doings, 
andpreserAc me || in her power. 

12 So shall my works be acceptable, and then 
shall I judge thy people righteoush', and Ix: wor- 
thy to sit in my father's seat. 

13 For ' w hat man is he that can know the 
counsel of G(xl ? or who can think what the will 
of tlie Lord is ? 

14 For die dioughts of mortal men are || mise- 
rable, and our devices are but uncertain. 

15 For the coiruptible b(xly presscth down the 
soul, and '' the earthly tabcniaclc weigheth <^o\\^^ 
the mind tliat museth upon many things. 

16 And hiirdly d<J we guess aright at things 
that are upon earth, and \\\i\\ labour do we fnid 
die things that are t before us: 'but the tilings 
that are in heaven, who hath seanhcd out ? 

17 And thy counsel who hath known, except 
tlvMi give wisdom, and send thy '" Holy Si^irit 
from above .' 

18 For so the ways of them which liyecLon

1 1 For it was a ^ cursed seed from tiie begin-

18 But thou, mastering diy power, judgest w ith 
equity, and ordercst us with great fa\our: " for 
thou mayest use power when diou a\ ilt. 

19 But by such works hast tliou taught thy 
people that tlie just man should be " merciful, and 
hast made thy children to be ola good hope that 
thou gi^•est repentance for sins. 

20 For if thou didst punish the enemies of diy 
children, iind the condenuied to death, with 
such delilK-ration, giving them time and place, 
whereby they might be delivered fn)m their

22 Therefore, ^ whereas thou dost chasten \is, 
thou scourgest our entmicsathousuidtimesmore,

AGAES^, one preparing himself to sail, and a- 
bout to pass through die raging A\a\'es, cali- 
eth upon a piece of wood, more rotten dian the 

II vessel diat carrieth him. 

2 For -verily desire of gain devised || that, and 
the workm^an built it by his skill. 

5 But xhx providence, O Father, govenieth it : , 
for tliou hast * made a way in the sea, and a safe 
path in die -waves ; 

4 Shewing that thou canst save from all dan- 
ger : '' yea, though a man vvent to sea without 
art. 

5 Nev'ertheless thou A\"ouldest not tloat the works 
of thy wisdom should be idle, and dierefore do 
men conimit their lives to a small piece of wood, 
and passing the rough sea in a weak Aessel are 
saved. 

6 ''For in the old time also, A'.hen the proud 
giants perished, the hope of the vvorld governed 
by thj' hand, '^ escaped in a weak v^essel, and left 
to all ages a seed of generation. 

7 For blessed is the wood whereby righteous- 
ness cometh. 

8 But ^ diat which is made \vith hands is curs- 
ed, as well it, as he that made it: he, because he 
made it; and it, because, being coiruptible, it was 
called god. 

9 ^ For the ungodly and his imgodliness ai^e 
both alike hateful unto God. 

10 For s diat which is made shall be punished 
together w ith him diat made it. 

11 Therefore ev'en || upon the idols of die Gen- 
tiles sliall there be a visitation : because in the 
creature of God they ai-e become an abomination, 

■ and ^ t stumbling-blocks to the_ souls of men, and 
a II snare to the feet of the unv^ise. 

12 For the devising of idols was the beginning 
' of ^pzV/Vy^/ fornication, and the invention of them 

the corruption of life. 

13 For neidier were they from ' the beginning, 
neither shall they be for ever. 

14 For by the vain glorj^ of men diey entered i 



Apocrypha. 
shall diev come 



;4 



into the v.orld, and therefore 
shortly to an end. 

15 For a fadier afflicted w ith untimely mourn- 
ing, when he hath made ^ an image of his cliild 
soon taken away, now honoiu'ed him as a god, 
which was then a dead man, and delivered to 
those that were mider him ceremonies and sacri- 
fices. 

16 Thus t hi process of time an ungodly cus- 
tom grown strong vvas kept as a law, ' and gi^aven 
images were -^crshipped by the commandments 
of 11 kings. 

17 \\'liom men could not honour || in pre- 
sence, because they dwelt far off, they took die 
counterfeit of liis visage from fiu", and made an 
express image of a king ™ v\ horn tliey honoured, 
to the end that by this their forv.ardness they 
might flatter him that was absent, as if he were 
present. 

18 Also the siiigular diligence of" the artificer 
did help to set fonA^ai'd the ignorant to more su- 
perstition. 

19 For he, peradventiire, willing to please one 
in authority, forced all his skill to make the re- 
semblance t of die best fashion. 

20 And so die multitude, alliu-ed by die gi-ace 
of die v\ork, took him now for a god, v\iiich a lit- 
tle before was but honoured as a man. 

21 And tliis A\"as an occasion to ° deceive the 
v\'orld : for men, sening eidier calamity or t5Taii- 
ny, clid ascribe imto stones and stocks the incom- 
municable II name. 

22 Moreover, this was not enough for them, 
diat they en-ed in the knowledge of God ; but 
whereas they lived in the gxeat wai- of ignorance, 
those so great plagues called they peace. 

23 For whilst they p slew their children in sa- 
crifices, or used secret ceremonies, or made re- 
vellings of strange rites ; 

24 They kept neither lives nor marriages any 
longer undefiled : but either one slew anodier 
traiterously, or griev ed liim by adultery. 

25 So that there reigned m all men || without 
exception, i blood, manslaughter, theft, and dis- 
simulation, corruption, unfaitMiihiess, tumults, 
peijm-y, 

26 Disquieting of good men, forgetflilness of 
good turns, defiling of souls, changing of || kind, 
disorder in maniages, adultery, and shameless 
uncleamiess. 

27 For the worshipping of idols f not to be 
named, is ^ the beginning, the cause, and the end, 
of all evil. 

28 For either they are mad when diey be mer- 
ry, or prophesy lies, or five unjusdy, or else light- 
ly forswear- themselves. 

29 For insomuch as their trust is in idols 'wliich 
have no life ; though diey sv\ear falsely, yet diey 
look not to be hurt. 

30 Howbeit, for both causes shall they be just- 
ly punished : _ both because the\" thought not well 
of God, li giving heed unto idols, and also imjust- 
ly swore in deceit, "= despismg holiness. 

31 For it is not the pov\er of them by whom 
they swear : but it is the just vengeance of sin- 
ners.

CHAP. XV. 

I fVi' do rrc^nmv/al^c the true God. 7 Thefdhj of 
idol-mr.hersy 14 and of the enemies of God'' s peo- 
ple ; 15 because, InshUs the idols of the Gentdes, 
18 they vjorsh'ippcd ivild beasts. 

BUT tliou, O G(xl, art gracious and true, long- 
sulVering, aiifl in mcicy ordering :J1 things. 

2 For if we sin, we are thine, kno\\ing thy 
pov.cr: '' but we u ill not sin, knowing tliat we 
are ^ ccjunted tiiine. 

3 For to knoAV thee is perfect righteousness: 
yea, to know thy power is the root of immoitidity. 

4 For neither did the mischie\ ous invention of 
men dccci\e us, nor an imaiie spotted with di- 
verse colours, the piunter's fruitless labour: 

5 The sight whereof il enticcth fools to lust 
after it, and so they desire tlic fc^nu of a dead 
image, that hath no breath. 

6 Both ihcy that make them, they tliat desire 
them, and tliey that worsliip thicni, are lo\ers of 
evil things, and aic worthy to ha\ e such things 
to tinist upon. 

7 For the ^ potter, tempering soft earth, fash- 
ioncth every ^■essel w iih much labour for our 
sen ice : yea, of the same clay he maketh " botli 
the vessels that ser\ e for clean uses, and like- 
wise also all such as serve to the contran,' : but 
^vhat is the use of eitlier sort, the potter himself 
is the judge. 

8 And employing his labours lewdlj', he mal-:- 
eth a xain god of die same clay, e\ en he ^ w hich 
a little before was made of earth himself, and 
w ithin a little w hilc after retunieth to the same, 
out of the which he was tiiken, A\hen his * life 
which was lent him shall lie demanded. 

9 Notw ithstanding his Ciue is, not that he shall 

II ha\e much labour, nor that his lile is short : but 
striveth to excel goKlsmidis and sihersmiths, and 
endea\oureth to do like the workeis in brass, 
and couuteth it his gloiy to make couiitertcit 
tilings. 

10 His heart is a.slies, ** his hope is more vile 
than earth, and his life of less value than 
clay : 

i 1 Forasmuch a?, he knew not his Maker, and 
him that inspired into him an acti\e soul, ' and 
breathed in a living spirit. 

12 But they counted our life a pastime, and 
our t time here a market lor gain : r or, say they, 
we must be getting e^ery w ay, though it be by 
e\il means. 

1.3 II For this man, that of earthly matter mak- 
eth * brittle ^'essels and gnnen imaires, knowedi 
himself to offend above all others. 

1 4 And all the enemies of thy people, that 
hold them in subjection, ;ue most foolish, and 
are more miserable than ^er>■ babes. 

15 For they counted ;iJl the idols of the heathen 
to be grxli> : which neither have the use of ejesto 
.see, nor noses to dnnv || bitath, nor ears to hear, 
nor fingers of hiinds to handle ; and as for their 
feet, they are slow to go. 

16 For ' man made them, and he tliat borrow- 



SOLOMON. Al-ocry{>h(L 

ed liis own spirit fishicned them : but no man can 
make a god like unto h!!^\si.lf. 

17 For being mortal, he workelh '" a dead n.^o^i'a. 
thing w iih w ieked hands : for he himself is bet- 
ter than the things w hich he worshippeth : w here- 

as he li\ed once, but they ne^ er. 

18 Yea, diey worshipped thoise " beasts alsoj,^""-*- 
that are most hateful : foi" being compared toge- 
ther, some aic worse than others. 

19 Neither are they beat itiful, so much as to 
be desired in respect of beasts : but they went 
without the praise of G(xl and his blessing. 

CHAP. xyi. 

2 God gave strange meat to his people, to stir up 
their appetite, and vile beasts to their enemies, 
to take if from them : 5 He stung them %vith his 
serpents, 1 1 but soon healed them by his ivord 
only. 17 The creatures altered their nature to 
pleasure God^s people, and to of end t/wir ene- 
jnies. 

»'T^HEREFORE by the like were they pu- 1,^^-'^ 
-L nished woilJiily, iuid by the multitude of 

beasts '' toniiented. ai^"^' 

2 Instead of \\hich punishment, dealing eraci- ri.is.iT 
ously w ich thine owii people, thou preparedst for 
them meat of a stnmge taste, e\en ' cjuails to j/^jj"''- 
stir uii dieir appetite : 

3 To the end that they desiring f(X)d, might 

^ for die ugly sight of the beasts sent among them K^iff;!'- 
loathe e\en that, ^\ hich they must needs desire ; 
biit these, suffering penury for a short space, 
might be made i)iu-tiikers of a strange tiiste. 

4 For it w as requisite, that upon them exercis- 
ing tyraTiny should come penun', which they 
could not avoid : but to these it should oiily Ije 
shex'cd how their enemies were tormented. 

5 For \\ hen the horrible fierceness of Ijeasts 
came upon || these, and they perished with the l^/pu^" 
'slings of crooked seiixnts, thy wnith endured cNumb. 
not forever: Vo.V^- 

6 But they were troubled for a small season, 

that the\ might be admonished, ha\ ing a ^ sign of J/'j,""''- 
salvation, to put them in rememi^rance of the 
conimandnicnt of thy la\'. . 

7 For he that turned himself towrad it was not 
saved by the thing that he saw, but by thee, 

8 that iut the S:iviour ofail, _ _ f,''*-"- 

8 And in this thou nuidest thine enemies con- 
fess, that it is ihtni who deiixtre.st fi'-m all c\ il : 

9 For ^ them die bitiiiKS of grasshoppers and M^il^o.l' 
flies killed, neither was there found any remed\ ^^•^■'^' 
for their Hie : for they were w ortliy to be puni.-h.-

tliat not Jailing into deep forgttfulness, they might

Apocrypha. _ CKAP 

14 A man indeed killetli through his malice : 
and the spirit, ^\ hen it is gone forth, retumeth not ; 
* neither the s-ioul received up cometh again. 

15 But it is not possible to escape tliine 
hand. 

16 "' For the ungodly, that denied to kncav 
thee, were scourged by the strength of thine arm : 
■\\ ith strMige rains, htiils, and showers, \\-ere they 
persecuted, that they could not avoid, ajid 
tlirough lire Avere they consumed. 

17 For, \A^hich is most to be Vvondered at, the 
fire had more force in the v.ater, that quenchcth 
all things : for the a^ orld " fighteth for the righ- 
teous. 

18 For some time the fiame was mitigated, that 
it might not bum up ° the beasts that were sent 
against the ungodly ; but themselves might see 
and perceive that the^/ were persecuted with the 
judgment of God. 

19 And at another time it burnetii even in the 
midst of water above the power of fire, that it 
Height destroy the fruits of aji unjust land. 

20 P Instead Avhereof thou feddest thine oato 
people A'.-ith angels' food, aild_ didst send them 
from heaven bread prepared without their labour, 
able to content every man's delight, and agreeing 
to every taste. 

21 For thy i|| sustenance declared thy sweet- 
ness unto thy chilcken, and serving to die appe- 
tite of the eater, || tempered itself to every man's 
liking. 

22 "■ But snoAV and ice endured tlie fire, and 
melted not, that they might know that fire 
buniing in the hail, and sparkling in the rain, did 
destroy the fruits of the enemies. 

23 But this again did even forget liis o\m\ 
strength, that ' the righteous might be nourish- 
ed. 

24 For the creature that serveth thee, who art 
the Maker, increaseth his strength against the un- 
righteous for their punishment, and abateth his 
strength for the benefit of such as put their trust 
in thee. 

25 Therefore even then was it altered into all 
II fashions, and was obedient to thy grace, that 
nourisheth all things, according to the desire j| of 
them that had need : 

26 That thy children, O Lord, whom thou 
lovest, might know, tliat * it is not the growing of 
fruits that nourisheth man : but that it is thy 
v, ord, which preserveth them that put their trust 
in thee. 

27 For that which was not destroyed of the fire, 
■ " being waraied w ith a little sim-beam, soon melt- 
ed aw ay : 

28 That it might be known, * that we must 
prevent the sun to give thee tlianks, and at the 
day-spring pray unto thee. 

29 For the hope of the unthankful shall melt 
awa^; as the winter's hoar fi-ost, and shall run 
away as unprofitable water.

tered with the bonds of a long night, lay [there] ^^ 

II exiled from the eternal pro\ic!ence. _ _ _ jW/ri^w. 

3 For while they supposed to lie hid in their 
secret sins, they were scattered ii under a dark 
\'eil of forgetfulness, being horribh; astonished, 
and troubled with [strange] il apparitions. 

4 For neither might the corner that held them 
keep them from fear : but noises [as of waiters] 
falling down sounded about them, and = sad vi- 
sions appeared unto them with heavy counte- 
nances. 

5 No power of the fire might gi\ e them light : 

^ neither could the bright flames of the stars en- 'iJ°^'2H' 
dure to lighten that honible night. 

6 Only there appeared unto them a fire kin- 
dled of itself, very dreadJlil : for being m.uch ter- 
rified, they thought the things which thej-' saw to 
be worse than the sight they sa\v not, 

7 "As for the illusions of art magi 
were put down, and their vaunting in 
was reproved Avith disgrace. 

8 For they that promised to drive aAvay terrors 
and troubles from a sick soul, were sick them- 
selves of fear, worthy to be laughed at. 

9 For though no terrible thing did fear them ; 

yet being scared ^ with beasts that passed b\', 13^19^' "' 
and hissing of serpents, 

10 They died for fear, || denying that they ]^\'o"&"

11 For wickedness condemned by her own 
witness, ^ is very timorous, and being press- e can. 5. e. 
ed with conscience, always forecasteth griev- 
ous tilings. 

12 For fear is n.otliing else but a beti'aying of

they might fulfil the punishment which was ^vant-

5 And that thy people might pass '^a wonder- 
ful way : but they might find a strange death. _ 

6 For " tlie whole creature in his proper kind 
was fashioned again anevv', serving the peculiar 
commandments that were given unto them, that 
thy children might be kept v. ithout hurt :

that were done while they sojourned in the 
strange land, how the gi-ound brought forth || flies 
instead of cattle, and how '^ the river cast up a 
multitude of frogs instead of fishes. 

11 But afterward they saw a new generation 
of fowls, when, being led with their appetite, 
they asked delicate meats. 

12 For quails came up unto them from the 
sea, for their || contentment. 

13 And punishments came upon the sin- 
ners not without former signs by the force of 
thunders : for they suffered justly according to 
their own wickedness, insomuch as they used a 
more hiird and hateful behaviom* toward stran- 
gers.

14 For 'the Sodomites did not receive those, ^p,*"*"- 
whom they knew not when they came : but these 
brought fiiends into bondage, that had well de- 
served of them. 

15 And not only so, but perad venture some 
respect shall be had of those, because they used 
strangers not friendly : 

16 But these very grievously afHicted them, 
^^'hom they had received with feastings, and were 
already made partakers of the simie laws with 
them. 

17 Therefore even with blindness were these 
stricken, ^ as those were at the doors of the righte- \^^1i^}, 
ous man : when, being compassed about with ^j^^j^-"' 
horrible great darkness, every one sought the 
passage of his own doors. 

18 For the elements were changed t in them- "li^^^-Jg^, 
selves by a kind of hannony, like as in a psal- 
tery notes change the name of the tune, and yet 
are always sounds ; "which may v/ell be per- 
ceived by the sight of the things that have been 
done. 

19 ' For earthly tilings were turned into w-ate-

ting his own virtue : and the water forgat his own 
quenching nature.

the flesh of the con-uptible living things, tliough 

they walked therein ; " neither melted they the Iz^'"'^- "' 
icy kind of heavenly meat, that was of natiu-e apt 
to melt.

A Prologue made by an wicertain Author. 
HIS Jesus \\ as the son of Sirach, and grand- 
child to Jesus of the sam^e name with him : 
this man therelbre lived in the latter times, 
after the people had been led away captive, and 
called home again, ajid almost after all the pro- 
phets. Now his grandfather Jesus, as he himself 
witnesseth, was a man of great diligence and wis- 
dom among the Hebrews, who did not only ga- 
ther the grave and short sentences of wise men, 
tliat had been before him, but himself also utter- 
ed some of his own, full of much understanding 
and wisdom. When as therefore the first Jesus 
died, leaving this book almost || perfected, Sirach 
his son receiving it idter him, left it to his own 



son Jesus,_who having gotten it into his hands^ 
compiled it all orderly into one A^olume, and cal- 
led it Wisdom, entitling it both by his own 
name, his father's name, and his grandfatlier's ; 
alluring the hearer by the very name of Wisdom 
to have a greater love to the study of this book. 
It containeth therefore wise sayings, daiic senten- 
ces, and parables, and ceitain paiticulai- ancient 
godly stories of men that pleased God ; also his 
prayer and song ;_ moreover, what benefits God 
had vouchsafed his people, and what plagues he 
had heaped upon their enemies. This Jesus did 
imitate Solomon, and was no less famous for wis- 
dom and learning, both being indeed a man of 
great learning, and so reputed also.

S There is ' one w ise and gready to be feared, 
the Lord sitting upon his throne. 

9 He created her, and siiw her, and numbered 
her, and poured her out upon all ins works. 

10 She is with all flesh according to his gift, 
•^and he huh given htr to diem tliai kne him. 

11 The fciir of the Lord is honour, and glorx',

16 To fear the Lord is fulness of wisdom, and 
filleth men w ith her fruits. 

17 She filleth all dieir house with things desira-

CHAP. VI. 

2 Do not extol thine o\vn conceit, 7 but make 
choice of^ a friend. 18 Seek voisclom betimes : 20 
it is grievous to some, 28 yet the fruits tliereof 
arc pleasant. 35 Be ready to .hear %vise men. 

INSTEAD of a friend become not an enemy ; 
for [thereby] thou shalt inherit an ill name, 
shame, and reproach : e-\-en so shall a sinner ^that 
hath a double tongue. 

2 Extol not thyself in the counsel of thine own 
heait ; that diy soul be not torn in pieces as a bull 
[straying alone.] 

3 Thou shalt eat up thy leaves, and lose thy 
fruit, and lea^-e thyself as '' a dry tree. 

4 A wicked soul shall destroy him that hath it, 
and shall make him to be laughed to scorn of his 
enemies. 

5 t Sweet language \vill rniiltiply friends : and 
a fair-speaking tongue m ill increase kind greet- 
ings. 

6 Be in peace with many : nevertheless have 
but one counsellor of a thousand. 

7 If thou wouidest get a friend, || prove liim 
first, and be not hasty to credit him. 

8 For some man is a friend for Ms own occa- 
sion, and will not abide in the day of thy trou- 
ble. 

9 And there is a friend, who, being turned to 
enmit\' and strife, will disco\er tliy reproach. 

10 "^ Again, some friend is a companion at the 
table, and will not continue in the day of thy af- 
fliction. 

1 1 But in thy prosperity he will be as thyself, 
and \\ill be bold over thy senants. 

12 Iftliou be brought low, "^he vvill be against 
thee, and vvill hide himself from thy face. 

13 Sepai-cite thyself from thine enemies, and 
take heed of thy friends. 

14 A faithfril friend is a strong defence : and 
he that hath found such an one hath found a trea- 
sure. 

15 Nothing doth countervail a faitliful friend, 
and his excellency is inv aluable. 

16 A faithful friend is the medicine of life ; and 
^ they that feai- the Lord shall find him. 

17 \Vhoso feareth tlie Lord shall direct his 
friendship aright : for as he is, so shall his neigh- 
bour be also. 

18 My son, gather uistruction from thy youth 
up : so shalt thou find wisdom till tliine old age. 

19 Come unto her as one that plougheth and 
soweth, ' and vvait for her good fi'uits : for thou 
shalt not toil much in labouring about her, but 
thou shalt eat of her fmits-right soon. 

20 She is ver>- unpleasant to the unlearned : he 
.. understanding will not remain 

witli her. 

21 She will lie upon him as a smightj^ stone of 
trial ; and he will cast her from him ere it be 
long.

32 My son, ^ if thou w ilt, thou shalt be taught : 
and if thou wilt apply thy mind, thou shalt be 
prudent, 

33 If thou love to hear, thou shalt receive un- 
derstanding : and if thou bow thine ear, thou 
shalt be wise. 

34 Stand in the multitude of the "" elders ; and ff^v- s- 
cleave unto him that is wise. 

35 Be willing to hear everj- godly discoui'se ; and 

let not the " parables of understancUng escape " ps- ^s- 2. 
thee. 

36 And if thou seest a man of understanding, 
get thee betimes unto him, and let thy foot w car 
the steps of his door. 

37 Let tliy mind be upon the ordinances of tlie 
Lord, and ° meditate continually in his command- ° ^=' ^- -

3 There can no good come to him that is al- 
waj-s occupied in evil, nor to him that giveth 
no alms. 

4 Give to the "" godly man, and help not a sin- 
ner. 

5 Do well unto him that is lowly, but give not 
to the ungodly : hold back thy bread, and give it 
not unto him, lest he overmaster thee thereby : 
for [else] thou shalt receive twice as much evil for 
all the good thou shalt have done unto him. 

6 For the Most High hateth sinners, ^ and will 
repay vengeance unto the ungodly, ^ and keepeth 
them against the mightj' day of their punish-

8 ^ A friend cannot be kno^Mi in prosperity : 
and an enemy cannot be liidden in adversity. 

9 In the prosperity of a mmi, enemies will be 
grieved : but in his adversity, e^-en a friend will 
depart. 

10 Never trust thine enemy : for like as || iron 
fusteth, so is his wickedness. 

11 Though he humble liimself, and go crouch-

thou shalt be unto him as if thou hadst wiped a 
looking-glass, and thou shalt kno'w that his ^ rust

12 Set him not by thee, lest, when he hatli o-

let him ^ sit at thy right hand, lest he seek to take 
thy seat, and thou at the last remember my words, 
and be pricked therewith. 

13 Who w ill pity a chaimer that is bitten with 
a serpent, or any such as come nigh wild 
beasts ? 

14 So one that goeth to a sinner, and is j| de-

15 For a while he will abide with thee, but if 
thou begin to fall, he w ill not tarry. 

16 'An enemy speaketh s\\ eetly with his lips,

2t5 A cheerful countenance is a token of a 
hemt that is i»\ pio.speritj- ; anti the finding out of 
parables is a weaiisome lal:)our of the mind.

wickedness.

tumeth away his face, and despiscth men. 

9 A ' covetous man's eye is not satisfied w ith

19 Therefore all dieir works are asthe sun be- 
fore him, imd his eyes aie continually upon their 
ways, 

20 p None of their uniighteous deeds are hid 
from him, but all their sins a:e before the Lord. 

21 But the Lord being gracious, and know- 
incj his workmanshij), neither left nor forsook 
them, but spared them. 

22 The "i alnxs of a man is as a signet witliliim, 
and he Vv ill keep the good deeds of man as the 
apple of the eye, and give repentance to his sons 
and daughters. 

23 ' Afterwards he \vill rise up jukI rewiird 
them, and render their recompence upon their 
iieads. 

24 ' But unto them that repent, he gi-anted 
them return, and comforted those that failed in 
patience. 

25 ' Return imto the Lord, and forsake thy 
sins, make diy prayer before his face, and (| oftend 
less. 

26 Turn agriin to die Most Hiyh, and turn a- 
\\ ay from iniquity : for he will lead thee out of 
diu'kness into the || light of health, and hate thou 
abomination \ chemently . 

27 " Who shall pniise the Most High in the 
gnne, instead of tliem which fne and give 
thanks ? 

28 Thanksgiving peri.sheth frcm the dead, as 
from one that is not : the living and soiuid in 
heart shall praise the Lord. 

29 " How great is the lo\ ing kindness of the 
Lord our G(kI, and his compassion unto such as 
tvnn unto him in holiness! 

30 For all things cannot be in men, because 
the son of man is not immoiliil. 

31 '' What is brighter than die sun? yet the 
light thereof faileth : and Hesh and blood will ima- 
gine evil,

that is proud, a rich man that is a liar, and rui 
old adulterer that doateth.

his childi'en ; and he that liACth to see tlie fall of

12 If tliou be among the indiscreet, obsene 
the lime ; hut be continually among men of un- ' 
ckiV.andiiig. 

13 The discourse of fools is irksome, and 
their sport is in tl'ie \vantonness of sin. 

14 ' The talk of him that s^vea^eth much mak- 
cdi the hair stand upright; and their bra^sis 
make one stop his eaji;s. 

15 The sn-iie of the proud is blood- shedding, 
and' their revilings ai-e grie\ous to the ear._ 

16 ^\^loso disco\'ereth secrets loseth his cre- 
dit ; and shall ne\-er find a friend to his mind. 

17 LoA"e thy friend, and be faithful unto 
him •- ^ but if thou bewTayest his secrets, foi- 
loAV no more after him. 

18 For as a man liadi destroyecl his enemy; 
so hast thou lost die \o\e of thy neighbour. 

19 As one that letteth a bird go out of liis 
lund, so liast thou let thy neighbour go, and 
shalt not get him again. 

20 ' Follo\v after liim no more, for he is too fer 
off, he is as a roe escaped out of the snare. 

21 As for a wound, it may be bound up ; and 
after re\'iling diere may be reconcilement : but 
he diat bewray eth secrets is Avithout hope. 

22 He ™that ^\-inketh with the eyes work- 
eth e\il': and he that knov.eth him ^\'ill depart 
from Jiim. 

23 AMien tliou art present, he A^ill speak 
sweetly, and ^vill admire thy words : but at the 
last he will || v.rithe liis mouth, and slander thy 
sayings. 

24 I have hated many things, but notliing 
like liim ; for the Lord \\ill hate him. 

25 Whoso casteth a stone on liigh casteth 
it on his oa\ii head ; and a deceitfiil stroke shall 
make wounds. 

26 "Whoso diggeth a pit shall fall therein: 
Ecc!es.io.e. and he that setteth a trap shall be taken therein. 

27 He that worketh miscliief, it shall fall upon 
him, and he shall not know v\ hence it cometh. 

28 Mockerj- and reproach are from die proud ; 
but ° vengeance, as a lion, shall lie in w^x. for 
them. 

29 p They that rejoice at the fall of the righ- 
teous shiiU be taken in the snare ; and anguish 
shall consume them before diey die. 

30 Malice and ^vrath, even these are abomijia-

4 Prepare w hat to say, and so thou shalt be 
hcaid : ami bind up instruction, and then make 
answer. 

5 The t luart of the ' foolish is like a cart- 
wheel ; and his thougius are like a rolling axle- 
tree. 

6 A stallion-horso is as a mocking friend, he 
neighcth under eveiycjiic that sitteth upon him. 

7 Wiij' doth one day excel another, when as 
''all the light of e\eiy day hi the year is of the 
sun? 

8 By the knowledge of tlie Lord, they were 
distinguished : and he altered*^ seasons and'fcasts. 

9 Some of them hath he made high days, and 
hallowed them, and some of them hath he Jl made 
ordinaiy days. 

10 And all men arc fiom the ground, and 
*^ Adam was created of earth. 

1 1 In much kno'A ledge the Lord hath divid- 
ed them, and nude their ways diverse. 

12 E Some o| them hath he blessed and ex- 
alted, and some of them hath he sanctified, and 
set near himself : but some of them hath he 
cursed and brought low, and turned out of their 
II places. 

13 '^ As the clay is in the potter's hand, to 
fashion it at his pleasure . so man is in the hand 
of him that n\ade him, to render to them as 
liketh him best. 

14 ' Good is set against evil, and life against 
death : so is the godly against the sinner, and the 
sinner against the gocllj'. 

15 So look upon all tlK' works of die Most 
High ; and there are ^ tw o imd two, one against 
another. 

16 I awaked up last of all, as one that || ga- 
thereth after the grape-gatherers : b>- the blessing 
of the Lord I profited, and filled my wine-press 
like a gatherer of grapes. 

17 'Consider that I laboured not for myself 
only, but for all them that seek Iciuniing. 

18 Hear me, O ye great men of the people, 
and heiuken w ith your ears, °' ye rulers of the 
congi-egation. 

19 Give not thy son and wife, thy brother and 
friend, power oAcr thee while thou li\est, and 
gi\e not thy goods to another : kst it repent thee, 
and thou intreatfor the same again. 

20 As long as diou livest and hast bread i in 
thee, 11 give not thyself o\er to any. 

21 For better it is lluit thy children should 
seek to dice, than that thou shouldcst || st:uKl to 
their courtesy. 

22 In all thy works keep to thyself the pre- 
eminence ; leave not a stain in thine honour. 

23 At die time' when thou shalt end thy 
days, aud finish diy life, " distribute thine inhe- 
ritance. 

24 Fodder, a Vvand, and burdens, are for the 
ass ; and bread, correction, and work , for a senant. 

25 If ° diou set diy senant t(i labour, diou 
shiilt find rest : but if" thou let him go idle, he 
shall seek liberty. 

26 A yoke iuul a collar do bow the neck : so 
arc tortures and torments for an evil servant.

mother of all things. 

2 Their imagination of things to come, and the 
day of death, [trouble] their thoughts, and [cause] 
fear of heart ; 

3 ^ From him that sitteth on a throne of glorj-, 
unto him that is humbled in earth and ashes ; 

4 From him that weareth purple and a cro^^^l, 

II unto him that is clothed %vith a linen frock. 

5 " Wratli, and envy, trouble, and unquiemess, 
fear of death, and anger, and strife, and in the 
time of rest upon his bed, his night-sleep, do 
change his knowledge. 

6 A little or nothing is his rest, and after^vard 
he is in his sleep, as in a day of keeping watch, 
^ troubled in the A'ision of his heart, as if he were 
escaped out of a battle. 

7 W^hen all is safe, he awaketh, and marvelleth 
that the fear ^vas nothing. 

8 [Such things happen] unto all flesh, both man 
andlaeast, and that is se\-enfold more upon sinners. 

9* Death, and bloodshed, strife, and s^vord, ca- 
lamities, famine, tribulation, and the scourge ; 

10 These tilings are created for the wicked, 
and for their sakes came the ^ flood. 

1 1 s All things that are of the earth shall turn 
to the earth ag^iin : and tliat which is of tlie ^ wa-

12 All t briberj^ and ii^ustice shall be blotted 
out : but true dealing shall endure for e\-er.

3 Who before him so stood to it ? for the Lord 
himself brought his enemies unto him. 

4 " Did not the sun go back by his means ?

the enemies pressed upon him on everj' side ;

made the battle to fall violently upon the nations, 
and in the descent [of Betli-horon] he destioj-ed 
them that resisted, that the nations might k.no\\ 
all their strength, because he fought in the 
sight of the Lord, and he followed the Mightj- 
One. 

7 ^ In the time of Moses also, he did a work 
of mercy, he and CaJeb the son of Jephunne, in 
that they witlistood the congregation, and with- 
held the people from sin, and appeased the wick- 
ed munnuring. 

8 ^ And of six hundred thousand people on

1i A prayer of Jesus the son of Sirach. 

I WILL thank thee, O Loid and King, *and 
praise thee, O God my Saviour : I do give 
praise unto thy name. 

2 For thou art my defender and helper, and 
hast preserved my body from destruction, and 
from the snaie of the slanderous tongue, and 
from the lips that forge lies, and hast been mine 
helper against mine ad\ersai'ies. 

3 And hast delivered me, '' according to the 
multitude of thy mercies and greatness of thy 
name, from f the teeth of them that were ready 
to devour mc, and out of the hands of such as 
sought after my life, and from the manifold af- 
flictions which I had ; 

4 From the choking of fire on every side, imd 
fi-om the midst of the tire w hich I kindled not ; 

5 From the depth of "^ die belly of hell, from 
an unclean tongue, and from lying words ; 

6 B\- an accusation to tiie king from an un- 
righteous tongue my soul drew neai- even unto 
death, my liie A\'as near to the hell beneath. 

7 They compassed me on everj"^ side, and 
there was no man to help me : '^ I looked lor the 
succour of men, but there was none. 

8 Then thought I upon thy mercy, O Lord, 
and upon th>- acts of old, how thou deliverest 
such as wait tor thee, and savest them out of 
the iiands of the enemies. 

9 Then lilcccl I up my supplication from the 
earth, and prayed for deli\erance irom death. 

10 I called upon the Lord, the Father of "^ my 
Lord, that he would not lea\e mc in the cUiys 
of my trouble, and in the time of the proud, 
when there was no help. 

Ill will praise thy name continually, and

will sing praise witli thanksgiving ; || and so my 
prayer w as heard : 

12 For thoti ^ savedst mc from destruction, 
and deli\eredst me trom the evil time: there- 
fore will I give thanks, and praise thee, and 
bless thy name, O Lord. 

13 ^ When I was yet yoimg, or ever I || went « \l^- 
abroad, I desired wisdom openly in my prayer, ii'or,™^.^ 

14 I prayed for her before the temple, and"'"''*' 
w ill seek her out even to the end. 

15 \i\cv\ fiom the flower till the grape was 
ripe, hath xny heart dehghted in her : my foot 
w ent the right way, from my youth up sought 
I after her, 

16 I bow ed down mine ear a little, and re- 
ceived her, and gat much learning. 

17 I profited therein, titer ef ore will I •" ascribe '•'"'•"s-i- 
the glory unto him that giveth me wisdom. 

18 For I purposed to do after her, and ear- 
nestly I followed that which is good ; so shall 
1 not be confounded. 

19 My soul hath ' wresded with her, and in ^^JJ- " 
my doings I w as exact : I stretched forth my 
hiuids to the heaven above, and bew ailed my 
ignorances of her. 

20 il I directed my soul unto her, and I found \f^'„ni,t- 
her in pureness : I have had my heart joined '""'''"*• 
with her from the beginning, therefore shall I 

not be forsaken. 

21 My II heart was troubled in seeking her: 
therefore have I gotten a good possession. 

22 ^ The Lord hath given me a tongue for kua. 50.4 
my rewaj'd, and I will praise him therewith. 

23 Draw near unto me, ye unlearned, and 
dw ell in the house of learning. 

24 Wherefore are ye slow, and w hat say ye of 
these things, seeing your souls are very thirsty ? 

25 I opened rhy mouth, and said, ' Buy her > i«-»«>- 
for yourselves without monev'. 

26 Put your neck under ""the yoke, and let mManh. 
your soul receive instruction: she is haid at "■**'" 
hand to find. 

27 "Behold v\ith your eyes, how that I ha\e J|_fJ"'' 
had but little labour, and have gotten unto me 
much rest. 

28 Get learning with a great sum of monej', 
and get much gold by her. 

29 Let your soul rejoice in his mercy, and 
be not ashamed of his praise. 

30 Work your w ork " betimes, and in his 2.^^^'"-

land, ' nor give rain unto men. 

54 Neither can they judge their own cause, 
nor redress a A\Tong, being unal)le : for they are 
as crons between hea\en and earth. 

5^ Whereupon when fire falleth upon the 
house of gods of wood, or laid over with gold or 
siher, their priests will flee away, and escape ; 
l)ut they tliemselves shall be burned ttsunder like 
beams. 

56 .Morco\er, they cannot ^\•ithstilnd any king 
or enemies : how can it then be thought or said 
that they be gods ? 

57 Neither are those ' gods of wood, and laid 
o\er with silver or gold, able to escape either 
from thieves or robbers. 

58 Whose gold, and silver, and garments 
where\\itli they are clothed, they that are strong 
do take, and go a^\•ay withal : neidier are thej' 
able to help thcmsehes. 

59 Therefore it is better to te a king ''that 
sheweth his powder, or else a profitable \essel in 
an house, wnich the owner shall have use of, 
than such false gods ; or to be a door in an house, 
to keep such things safe as be therein, than such 
false gods ; or a pillar of ^\•ood in a palace, than 
such false gods. 

60 For sun, moon, and stars, being bright, 
and sent to do their offices, are obedient. 

61 In like manner the lightning when it break- 
eth forth is easy to be seen ; and || after the same 
manner the \\ ind bloweth in ever>^ countrj'. 

62 And ^vhen God commandeth the clouds 
to go over the whole \\ odd, " they do as they 
are bidden.

63 And tlie fire sent from above to consume 
hills and woods doeth as it is commanded : but 
these are like unto them neither in shew nor 
power. 

64 Wherefore it is neither to be supposed nor 
said that they are gods, seeing '' they iire able d vcr. 54. 
neither to judge causes, nor to do good unto 
men. 

65 Know ing therefore that tliey are no gods, 
fear them not : 

66 For they can neither curse nor bless 
kings : 

67 Neither cim they shew "^ signs in the hea- 
vens among the heathen, nor shine as tlie sun, 
nor give light as the moon. 

68 The beasts aic better than they : for 
thej' can get under a covert, and help them- 
selves. 

69 It is tlien by no means manifest unto us 
that they are gods : *" therefore lem- them not. 

70 For as a scarecrow in a garden of cucum- 
bers keepeth nothing : so are their gods of wood, 
and laid over with siher and gold. 

71 And likewise their gocls of wood, and laid 
o\er w ith silver and gold, aie like to a white 
thoni in an orchi\rd, tliat everj- bird sitteth up- 
on ; as also to a dead body that is cast into the 
diirk. 

72 s And ye shall kno\v diem to be no gods 
by the || bright purple that rotteth upon them : , ^., 
imd they themselves after\\ard shall be eaten, and tT/A/n/."" 
shall be a reproach in the country-.

t The History 

Set apart from the beginning of Daniel, b 

the Narration of f 

16 Tivo judges hide thepisehes hi the garden of 
Susanna to have their pleasure of her : 28 
ud/ich when they could not obtain^ they accuse^ 
and cause her to be condenmed for adultery : 
46 but Daniel examineth the matter agai?i, 
and findeth the tivo judges false. 

THERE dwelt a man in Babylon, called 
Joacim : 
2 And he took a w ife, whose name was 
i6'*i«*7 Susanna, tlie cbughter of Chelcias, a * very fair 

woman, and one that feared the Lord, 
b Luke 1. 9. 3 J4cr '' parents also were righteous, and taught 
their daughter according to the law of Moses. 

4 Now Joacim was a great rich man, and had 
a fair gjuxlen joining unto his house : and to him 
resoited the Jews ; because he was more ho- 
nourable than all others. 
'•"• '■ 5 The siimc yciu- were appointed t\\o of' the 
ancients of the ix;ople to be judges, such as the 
Lord spake of, that wickedness came from Ba- 
l\vlon from tuicicnt judges, who seemed to go- 
vern the people. 

6 These kejJt much at Joacim's iiouse : and 
;ill that liad any suits in law came unto them. 

7 NoAv w hen the people departed aw ay at noon, 
Susanna went into her husband's garden to walk. 

8 And the two elders saA\ her going in every 
M.«h,5. day, and w alking ; ^ so that their lust wasinflam- 

" ed tow ard her. 

9 And they perAcrted their own mind, and 
turned away their eyes, that they niight not look 
unto heaven, nor remember just judgments. 

10 And albeit they both w ere wounded w idi 
her love, yet durst not one shew another his 
giief. 

11 For tliey were ashamed to dechu-e their 
lust, that they desired to have to do uitli her. 



of SUSANNA, 

ecause it is not in the Hebrew, as neither 
Bel and tbe Dragon. 

12 Yet they watched diligently from day to 
day to see her. 

13 And the one said to the other, Let us now 
go home : for it is dinner time. 

14 So when they were gone out, they parted 
the one from the other, and turning back again 
they came to the same place ; and alter they 
had asked one another the cause, ' they ac- 
knowledged their ^ lust : then appointed they a 
time botli together when they might find her aloi le. 

15 And it fell out, as they watched a fit time, 
she went in f 'ts before w ith two maids only, 
and she was desirous to wash hersell' in the 
giu-den : for it \\as hot. 

16 And there was no body there save the two 
elders, that had hid themsehes, and watched her. 

17 Then she said to her maids. Bring me oil 
and washing balls, and shut the guj-den doors, 
K that I may wash me. 

18 And they did as she bade them, and shut 
the garden doors, and went out themselves at 
li pri\y doors to fetch the things thai she had 
connnanded them : but they saw not the elders, 
^ because they were hid. 

19 Now w hen the maids were gone forth, the 
two elders rose up, and ran unto her, saying, 

20 Behold, the garden doors ;ire shut, that no 
man can see us, and we are in love v^h thee ; 
therefore consent unto us, ' and lie w fw us. 

21 If thou wilt not, we ^vill bear witness 
against thee, that a young man was with thee : 
and therefore thou didst send away thy maids 
from thee. 

22 Then Susanna '' sighed, and said, I am 
straitened on ever} side : for if I do this diing, 
it is death unto me : and if I do it not, I cannot 
escape vour hands.

23 It is better for me to fall into your hands, 
;Ge,i.39.(». and not to do it, than ' to sin in the sight of the 

Lord. 

24 With that Susanna cried ^vith a loud voice : 
and the tuo elders cried out against her. 

25 Then ran the one, and opened the garden 
door. 

26 So \\ hen the servants of the house heard 
A r«r. u. the cry in the garden, tirey rushed in at " a pri\y 

door, to see v, hat was done unto her. 

27 But when the elders had declared their mat- 
ter, the servants wtvc greatly ashamed : for tliere 
was never such a report made of Susanna. 

28 And it came to pass the next day, ^hen 
tlie people were assembled to her husband Joa- 

Pvis. 2- cim, tlie two elders came also full of " mischie- 
vous iniRgination against Susanna, to put her to 
death ; 

29 -^ nd said before the people, Send for Su- 
sanni rhe daughter of Chelcias, Joacim's wife. 
And so they sent. 

SO So she came with her father and mother, 
her children, and all her kindred. 

31 Now Susanna was a verj^ delicate woman, 
ver. 2. and ° oeauteous to behold. 

32 And these a\ icked men commanded to un- 
cover her face, (for she was covered) that they 
might be filled with her beauty. 

33 Therefore her fi-iends and all that saw her 
wept. 

34 Then the two elders stood up in the midst 
of the people, •* and laid their hands upon her 
head. 

S5 And she weeping, looked up toward hea- 
ven : for her heart tiiisted in the Lord. 

36 And the elders said, As ^\ e walked in the 
garden alone, diis woman came in witli t^vo 
maids, and shut the garden doors, and sent the 
maids aw ay. 

37 Then a young man who there was hid, 
came unto her, and lay with her : 

38 Then we that stood in a comer of the gar- 
<.c«n.39.9. den seeing ' this wickedness, ran imto diem. 

39 And when we saw them together, die man 
we could not hold : for he was stronger than >ve, 
and opened the door, and leaped out. 

40 But having taken this woman, wt asked 
who the youiig man was, but she would not tell

41 Then the assemblj- believed them, as those 
that were the elders and judges of the people: so 
they condemned her to death. 
5ft.so. 15. 42 Then Susanna * cried out with a loud voice, 
and said, O e\erlasting God, that knowest the 
secrets, and knowest all things before diey be : 

43 Thou knowest that they have borne false 
witness against me, and behold, I must die; 
whereas I never did such tilings as these men 
have malicioush- invented against me. 

44 And the ' Lord heard her ^oice. 

45 Therefore when she was led to be put to 
dealh, the Lord raised up the holy spirit of a 
young youth, whose name was Daniel : 

46 Who cried with a loud voice, " I am clear 
from the blood of this woman.

47 Then all the people turned them towai-d 
him, and srid, Iv'hat mean these words that thou 
hast spoken .' 

48 So he, standing in the midst of them, said, 

Are ye such " fools, ye sons of Israel, that with- ^j^™'' **• 
out examination or knowledge of the truth, ye 
ha^'e condemned a daughter of Israel ? 

49 Return again to the place of judgment : 

for they have ^ borne false wimess against her, yExoiw. 

50 Wherefore all the people turned again in ' ' ^" **' 
haste, and the elders said unto him. Come, sit 
down among us, and shew it us, seeing God hath 
given thee the honour of iui elder. 

51 Then said Daniel unto them. Put these 
tw^o aside one far from another, ^ and I will exa- ? Pf»v. 
mine them. 

52 So when they were put asunder, one from 
another, he called one of them, and said unto 
him, O thou that art waxen old in wickedness, 
now thy sins which thou hast committed afore- 
time are come to light. 

53 For thou hast pronounced false judgment, 
and hast condemned the innocent, and hast let the 
guilty go free ; albeit the Lord saith, * The in- 
nocent and righteous shalt thou not slay. 

54 Now then, if thou hast seen her, tell me, 
Under what tree .sawest thou them companj-ing 
together ? Who answered, Under a f mastick t cr. 

tree. lentih.tret, 

55 And Daniel said, Very well ; '' thou hast b see Act* 
lied against thine own head ; for even no^v the *" ^' "*■ 
angel of God hath received the sentence of God 

to cut thee in two. 

56 So he put him aside, and commanded to 
brin-g the other, and said unto him, O thou seed 
ofChanaan, and not of Juda, beautj- hath de- 
cei\"edthee, and "^ lust hath perverted thine heart, c ve^es s. 

57 Thus have ye dealt ^\-ith the daughters of"" 
Ismel, and they for fear companied with you : but 
the daughter of Juda would not abide your wick- 
edness. 

58 Now therefore tell me, Under ^vliat tree 
didst thou take them companying together ? 
Who ans^\"ered, ^ Under a !| holm tree 

59 Then said Daniel unto him. Well ; thou |,^;/^' 
hast also lied against thine own head 
angel of God waitedi with liie sword to cut diee 
in t\\-o, that he may destroy j'ou. 

60 ^'Vith that all the assemblj- *^ cried out with ever. 4a 
a loud voice, and praised God, who sa\-eth them 

that tiaist in him. 

61 And they arose against the two elders, for 
Daniel had convicted them of false -witness by 
their own mouth. 

62 And according to the law of Moses, -^they foeut. w, 
did unto them in such sort as tlicy maliciously H:^"' 
intended to do to their neighbour : and they 

put them to death. Thus the innocent blood 
^\^as sa\'ed the same daj'. 

63 Theretbre Chelcias and liis wife praised 
God for their daughter Susanna, Avith Joacim her 
husband, and all tlte kindied, ^ because there 
was no dishonesty found in her.

3 Now the Babyloniiuis had an idol, called Bel, 
and diere were spent upon him e\ery day t\\el\c 
great measures of fine flour, and forty sheep, and 
six vessels of wine. 

4 And the king wor.shipped it, and went diiily 
»Da(i.(5.io. to adore it : ' but Daniel worshipped his own 

God. Andthe king said unto lijm, Why dost not 
thou w orship Bel .' 

5 Who cjis\vered and said, Because I may not 
\vorsiiip idols made with hiuids, but the li^•ing 

. Acu i:, God, ' w ho hath created the hea\en and tlie 
^* ^^' earth, and hath sovereignty o\cr ail fle«h. 

G Then said the king unto him, Thinkestthou 
not that Bel is a fning God ? seest thou not how 
much he eateth and drinketh everj- day r 

7 Then Diuiicl smilexl, and said, O king, be 
not deceived : for tliis is but clay within, and 

iiEcchwja brass without, mid did never "^ eat or drink anv 
thiiig. 

8 So the king was wroth, and called for his 
priests, and said unto diem. If ye tell me not who 

. vtr. J. this is that de\ oureth ' these expenses, ye shall die. 

9 But -f ye can certify nie that Bel devoureth 
diern, tlien Daniel shall die : for he hath spoken 
biasj^iemy against Bel. And Daniel said imto die 
king, Lei it l)e according to thy word. 

10 Now the priests of Bel \\ere tlireescore and 
ten, beside their wives and childreiv And the 
king went w ith Diuiicl into the temple of Bel. 

11 So Bel's priests said, Lo, we go out : but 
thou, O king, set on the meat, and make ready 

«T. the wine, and sluit the door fast, and ^ seal it with 
tliine own signet ; 

12 And to-nioiTo\\' when thou comest in, if 
thou fiiidest not that Bel liatii eaten up all, we 
will suffer death ; or else Daniel, that spcaketli 
falsely a??ainst us. 

« vcr. 7. 13 And Uiey little regarded it : ^ for under the 
table diey had made a privy Liitranv-e, whereby 
they cntel-cd in continuaih', and consumed those 
things. 

14 So when they were gone forth, the king 
set meats i;eforc Bel. Now Daniel had com- 
nnnded his scrviuits to bring ashes, and Uiose 
the\ .strewed throughout all the temple in the 
presence of the king alone : then went they out, 
and shut the door, and sealed it with the king's 
signet, and so departed. 

k v.r ,r 1 5 Now in the night came the priests *> w ith 
iheir w ives and children, as they were wont to do,

IG In the morning bctime die king arose, and 
Daniel w ith him. 

17 And die king said, Diuiiel, are the ' seiil§ « v*. n, 
whole.' And he said, Yea, O king, diey be 

w hole. 

18 And as soon as he had opened the door, die 
king looked upon die table, and cried w ith a 

loud voice, ^ Great art diou, O Bel,%nd with k Act. i». 
thee is no deceit at all. *^' ^' 

19 Then Liughed Daniel, and held the king 
tliiit he siiould not go in, and said. Behold no\v 
the pa\ement, and mark w ell w hose footsteps are 
these. 

20 And die king siiid, I see the footsteps ' of i vcr.is. 
men, w omen, and children. And then the king 

was iingn,-, 

21 And took the priests with dieir wives and 
children, who shewed him the privy doors, where 
diey came in, and consumed such tilings as were 
upon the table. 

22 Therefore the kuig slew them, and deliAcr- 

ed Bel into Diiniel's power, " whodestrojedhim m Deut. 
and his temple. "•*• 

23 II And in that some place there was a great i some add 
■ dnigon, which diey of Babylon w oi-ship- o/M^d^fl- 
ped. " ^"'• 

24 And the king said unto Daniel, Wilt thou *3- '""' 
also say that this is of brass? lo, lie li\eth, he 
eateth and drinketh ; tliou canst r.ot say diat he is 

no li\ ing god ; therefore woi-shiphim. 

25 Then said Daniel unto me king, ° I Mill o^Matth.4. 
w orship the Lord mj* God : for he is the living 

God. 

26 But give me leave, O king, and I shall slay 
this dragon widiout sA\ord or staff'. The king 
said, I gi\e thee le;i\ e. 

27 Then Daniel t(K)k pitch, and fat, and hair, 
and did seethe diem together, and made luftips 
diereof : this he put in the dragon's mouth, and 
so the dragon burst in sunder : iuid Daniel said, 

II Lo, diese iire die gods ye w orship. l°d'-Sf.„t 

28 When they of Babylon heard that, ^ they ^«'«'<»-i/,V 
took great indignation, mid conspiRcl against the ^f]^!'^ 
king, saying. The king is l)ecome a Jew, and he 

hath destroyed Bel, he hath slain the dragon, and 
put the priests to death. 

29 So they came to the king, and said. Deli- 
ver us Daniel, or else we w ill destroy tliee and 
thine house. 

30 No^v when the king saw that tliey pressed 

him sore, being constrained, he "> delivered Da- 1^'"*-

31 ' Who cast him into the lions' den ; where rDan.6.>6.

32 And in the den there were seven lions, and 

they had given them e\er>- cLiy || two carcases, J^^or- mv.

to them, to the intent they might devour Da-

33 Now there was in Jewrj- a prophet called « "^ib. i i

Babylon unto Daniel, who is in the lions' den. 

35 And Habbacuc said. Lord, I never saw Ba-

'36 Then the angel of the Lord took him by the 

u Eiek, cro^^'n, and " bare him by the hair of his head,

OLORD, Almighty God of our fathers, 
Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and of their 
righteous seed ; \<\\o hast made heaven 
and earth with all the ornament thereof; whc- 
hast bound the sea by the word of thy command- 
ment ; Avho hast shut up the deep, and sealed it 
by thy terrible and glorious name ; whom all 
men fear, and tremble before thy power ; for 
the majest}^ of thy gloiy cannot be borne, and 
thine angry threatening to^aid sinners is impor- 
table ; but thy merciftd promise is unmeasura- 
ble and unsearchable ; for thou art the Most 
High Lord, of great compassion, long-suffering, 
very merciful, and repentest of the evils <.f m^en. 
Thou, O Lord, according to thy great goodness 
hast promised repentance and forgiveness to them 
that have sinned against thee : and of thine in- 
finite mercies hast appointed repentance unto sin- 
ners that they may be saAed. Thou therefore, 
O Lord, that art the God of the just, hast not ap- 
pointed repentance to the just, as to Abraham, 
and Isaac, and Jacob, Avhich have not sinned 
against thee ; but thou hast appointed repentance 
anto me diat am a sinner : for I have sinned 
above the number of the sands of the sea. My 




Or, 



transgressions, O Lord, are multiplied : my 
transgressions are multiplied, and I am not wor- 
thy to behold and see the height of heaven for 
the multitude of mine iniquities. I am bowed 
down with many iron bands, that I cannot lift up 
mine head, !i neidier have any release : for 1 . - 
have provoked thy \n-ath, and' done evil before myt^e^k. 
thee : I did not thj^ will, neither kept I thy com- 
mandments ; I ha\'e set up abominations, and 
have multiplied offences. Now therefore, I bow 
the knee of mine heart, beseeching thee of grace. 
I have sinned, O Lord, I have sinned, and I ac- 
knowledge mine iniquities : wherefore I hum- 
bly beseech thee, forgive me, O Lord, forgive 
me, and destroy me not with mine iniquities. 
Be not angrj^ \A"ith me for ever, by resenqng evil 
for me ; neither condemn me into the lov. er 
paits of the earth. For thou ait the God, even 
the God of them that repent ; and in me tliou 
wilt shew all thy goodness : for tliou wilt save 
me, that am unMortliy, according to thy great 
mercy. Therefore I will praise thee for e-ver all 
the days of my life : for all the powers of the 
heavens do praise thee, and tliine is the gloiy foi 
ever and ever. Amen.

root, Antiochus surnamed Kpiphanes, son of 
Antiochus the king, who had Ixen iin hostage 
at Rome, and he reigned in the hundred and 
tliiiiy and seventh jear of the kingdom of the 
Greeks. 

11 hi those diiys went there out of Israel wick- 
ed men, * who persi' .ded many, siiying, Let us go 
and make a covenant widi the heathen that are 
iX)uad about us ; for since we departed from them, 
t we have liad much so^•o^^^ 

12 So ihis device pleased them well. 

13 Then ceiiain oJ'the people were soforwivd

"' *"■ them licence to do after the ordinances of the hea-

15 And ^madc themselves uncircumcised, 
and forsook the holy covenant, and joined them- 
i-eh es to the heathen, and •* w ere sold to do mis- 
cliief 

16 Now when the kingdom was established 
before Antiochus lie tliought to reign over 
E^j-pt, that he migiit have the dominion of two 
rci'lms. 

17 Wherefore' he entered into Egjpt with a 
great mul'i-ude, with chariots, and elephants, and 
horsemen, and a great navy ; 

18 x\nd made war against Ptolemce king of 
Egjpt : but Ptolcmee was afraid ofhim, anel Hed ; 
an<i many were wounded lo death. 

19 Thus tlxy got the strong cities in the land 
ejf Egjpt, and he took the spoils thereof 

20 And after that Antiochus had smitten 
E'lypr, he relumed again in the hundred forty 

kDan.8.i«. and third ycar, '' and went up against Israel and 
Jerusalem w iih a gieat multitude, 

21 And ' eniered proudly into the siuictuarj-, 
anil took a\'. ay the goiekn altar, and the candle- 
stick of licjht, iind all the vessels thereof, 

22 And the tiible of tlie shew-l^reael, and the

so they^ Ix'came a sore snaie : 

36 For it was a place to lie in vi-.iit agiiinst the

37 Thus they sheel innocent blooel on evej-y

40 As had been her glon,', so was her disho-

uncircumcised, and make their souls abominable 
with all manner of uncleanness and profanation : 

49 To the end they might forget the law, and 
change all the ordinances. 

50 And ■whosoe^'er would not do according 
to the commandment of the king, he said., he 
should die. 

51 In the self-same manner wrote he to his 
whole kingdom, and appointed overseers over 
all the people, commanding the cities of Juda to 
sacrifice, ^ city by citj'. 

52 Then many of the people v.- ere gathered 
unto diem, to ■\\it, eveiy one that forsook the 
law ; and so they com-milted e\ils in the land ; 

53 II And drove the Israelites into secret places, 
even Avheresoever they could flee for succour. 

54 Now the fifteentli day of the month Casleu, 
in the hundred forty and fifth year, '^ they set up 
die abomination of desolation upon the altar, taid 
builded idol-altars tlii-ouglicut the cities of Juda 
on every side; 

55 And burnt incense at the doors of their 
houses, and in the streets. 

56 And when they had rent in pieces the books 
of tlie law A\^hich they found, they burnt them 
with fire. 

57 And wheresoever \vas found v,-ith any the 
book of the testament, or if any consented to the 
law, f the king's commandment was, that they 
should put him to death. 

58 Thus did they by their authoritj' unto the 
Israelites every month, to as m^anj- as were found 
in the cities. 

59 Now the fi^-e and tuentieth day of the 
month they did sacrifice upon the idol-altar, which 
was upon the altiu- of God. 

60 At which time according to the com- 
mandment they put to death certain women, 
t that had caused their children to be circum- 
cised. 

61 And they hanged the infants about their 
necks, and rifled their houses, and slew them 
that had circumcised them. 

62 Howbeit, many in Israel were fully resolv- 
ed and confirm.ed in themselves not to eat any 
vuiclean thing. 

63 Wherefore, they chose rather to die, that 
they might not be defiled ^vith meats, and that 
they might not profane the holy covenant : so 
then diey died. 

64 And there was very great HTath upon 
Israel. 

CHAP. II. 

6 Mattathias lamenteth the case of Jerusalem : 

24 he slayeth a Jew that did sacrifice to idols 

in his presence, and the king^s messenger also: 

34 he and his are assailed on the sabbath, and 

make no resistance : 50 he instructeth his sons ; 

66 maketh their brother Judas Maccabeus 

general ; 69 and dieth. 

TN those days || arose Mattathias thes(mQUo\^\,

whose surname as as Apphus. 

6 And when he saw tlie blasphemies that Vi-ere 
committed in Juda and Jerusalem, 

7 He said,_ Woe is me ! -wherefore ^vas I bom 
to see this misery of my people, and of the holy 
city, and to dwell there, when it was delivered 
into the hand of the enemy, and the sanctuai-y 
into the hand of sti^angers t 

8 Her temple is become as a man ^ without 
glory. 

9 ^ Her glorious vessels are carried away into 
captivitj', her infants ai^e slain in the streets, her 
young men with the sword of the enem.y. 

_ 10 What nation hath not had a piirt in her 
kingdom, and gotten of her spoils .' 

11 All her ornaments are taken away ; of a 
fi-ee \\'oman she is become a bond-slave. 

12 And behold, our || sanctuaiy, even our 
beauty and our glory is laid vraste, and the Gen- 
tiles liave profaned it. 

13 To what end therefore shall Ave live any 
longer ? 

14 Then Mattathias and his sons ® rent their 
clodies, and put on sackcloth, and mourned very 
sore. 

15 In the mean wliile the king's ^ officers, such 
as compelled the people to re^^olt, came into the 
city Modin, to make them sacrifice. 

16 Aiid when many of Israel came unto them, 
Mattathias iJso and his sons came together. 

17 Then answered the king's officers, and 
said to Mattatliias on this A\-ise, Thou ait a ruler, 
and an honourable and great man in this citv, and 
strengthened with sons and brethren : 

18 Now therefore come thou fi.rst, and fulfil 
the king's commandment, fike as all the heathen 
have done, yea, and the men of Juda also, and 
such as remain at Jerusalem : so shalt thou and 
thy house be in the number of the king's fHends, 
and thou and thy children shall be honoiu-ed with 
silver and gold, and many rewards. 

19- Then Mattathias answered and spake 
with ^ a loud voice. Though all the nations 
that are under the king's dominion obey liim, 
ancl fall ^away everj^ one fi^om the religion of 
their fathers, and give consent to his com- 
mandments : 

20 Yet will I f and my sons and 1115- brethren 
walk m the covenant of our fathers. 

21 God forbid that Ave should forsake e the law 
and tlie ordinances. 

22 We will not hearken to the king's words 
to go from our religion, either on the right hand 
or the left. 

23 Now when he hadleft sneaking these words 
there came one of the Jews in the sight of all to 
sacrifice on the altai- which was at Modin 'ac 
cording to the king's commandment. ' 

24 Which_ thing when Mattathias saw, he was

11-15. 25 Al.so tl'ie king's commissioner, who com- 

fxlled men to sacrilke, he killed at tliat time, 
and the allxir he pulled do\\ii. 

2(j Thus deiilt he zealously for ihe^ law of 
(lod, like as '' Phinees did imto Zambri the son 
of Salom. 

21 And Mattathias cried throughout the city 
\^ ith a loud \ oice, sajing, Whosoever is zealous 
of the law, and niaintaineth die covenant, let him 
f(il]o\v nie. 

28 So he and his sons fled into 'the moun- 
tains, and left all that e\er they had in the 
city. 

29 Then miuiy that sought after justice imd 
judgment \\ent do\\n into the \\ildeniess, to 
i' dwell d^re : 

30 Both they, and their cliildren, and their 
r Gr. eviii M ives, and their cattle ; because f afflictiojis in- 
piied^uf^'i't creased sore upon them. 

"'""• 31 Now when it was told the king's ser\'ants, 

mchap. I. and •" die host that was at Jerusalem, in the city 
^'^r?^- of David, that certain men, who had broken the 

king's comniiuidment, w ere gone down into the 

secret places in the w ildenicss, 

32 The\' pursued after them, a great number, 
and ha\ing o\ertaken them, diey camped against 
them, iuid made war against them on the sabbath- 
diiy. 

33 And they said unto them, Let that which 
ye have done hitherto suffice ; come forth, and 
do according to the comniLindment of the king, 
luid ye shidl live. 

34 But they said, "We will not come forth, 
neither will we do the king's commandment, to 
profane the sabbath-day. 

35 So then they giive || them the battle with 
'*"'* all speed. 

36 Howbeit, they answered them not, neither 
cast they a stone at them, nor stopped the places 
where they lay hid ; 

t Or. M-m- 37 But'siiid, Let us die all in our f innocen- 
piicuy. py . l)(.iiven and earth shall testify for us, that 
ye put us to death wrongfully. 

38 So they rose up against them in battle on

"■ wives and children, and their cattle, to the num- 

t Or. ,«i!i ber of a thousand f Ix>ople. 
"f mtn. 29 Now when Mattadiias aixl his friends un- 
derstood hereof, they mourned for them right 
sore. 

40 And one of them said to another, If we 
all do as our brethren ha\e done, and fight not 
for our lives and laws against tlx; heathen, 

fp..«x 4.thcy will now quickly ^ root us out of die

all such as were \oluntarily devoted unto die 
law. 

43 Also all they that 'fled for persecution 
joined themsches unto them, and \\ere a stay 
unto them. 

44 So they joined their forces, luid smote 
sini'ul men in their luiger, and w icked men in 
their \\ radi : but the rest fled to die headien for 
succour. 

45 Then iSlattiidiias and his friends went roimd 
about, and pulled down ' the altiu's : 

46 .Vnd w kit chikbxn soever th;.y found w ith- 
in die coast of Israel uncircumcibed, those they 
circumcised || valiand\-. 

47 They pursued also iifter the proud men,

48 So the}- recovcied ' the law out of the hand 
of the Gentiles, and cut o; die hand of kings, nei-

49 Now when the time cbcw nciir that Mat-

50 Now therefore, my sons, be ye zealous for

66 As for Judas Maccabeus, he hath been 
mighty and strong, even fi-ona his youth up : let 
him be your captain, and || fight the battle of the 
people. 

67 Take also unto you all those that observe 
the law, and avenge ye the wrong of your 
people. 

68 Recompense fully the heathen, and take 
heed to the commandments of the law. 

69 So he blessed them, and ' was gathered to 
his fathers. 

70 And he died in the hundred forty and sixth 
year, and his sons buried him in die sepulchres 
of his fathers at Modin, "' and all Israel made 
great lamentation for him. 

CHAP. ni. 

1 The valour and fame of Judas Maccabeus : 10 
He overthrovjeththe forces of Samaria and Sy- 
ria. 27 Antiochus sendeth a great povjer 
against him. 44 He, and his, fall to fasting 
and prayer, 58 and are encouraged. 

THEN *his son Judas, called Maccabeus, 
rose up in his stead. 

2 And all his brethren helped him, and so did 
all they that held with his father, and ''they 
fought Avith cheerfulness the battle of Israel. 

3 So he gat his people great honour, and put 
on a breast-plate as a giant, and girt his warlike 
harness about him, and he made battles, protect- 
ing the host with his sword. 

4 In his acts he was "^ like a lion, and like a 
lion's whelp roaring for his prey. 

5 For he pursued the wicked, and sought them 
out, and burnt up those that vexed his people. 

6 Wherefore the wicked shrunk for fear of 
him, and all the workers of iniquity were 
troubled, because salvation ^ prospered in his 
hand. 

7 He grieved also many kings, tind made Ja- 
cob glad with his acts, and his memorial is 
blessed for ever. 

8 Moreover, lie went through the cities of 
Juda, destroying the ungodly out of them, and 
turning away wrath from Israel : 

9 So that he was renowned unto the utmost 
part of the earth, and he f received unto him 
such ^ as were ready to perish. 

10 Then Apollonius gathered the Gentiles to- 
gether, and a great host out of Samaria, to fight 
against Israel. 

11 Which thing when Judas perceived, he 
went forth to m.eet him, and so he smote him, 
and slew him : many also fell down slain, but 
ilie rest fled. 

12 Wherefore Judas took their spoils, and 
x\pollonius' sword also, and therewith he fought 
all his life long. 

13 Now when Seron, a prince of the army of 
SjTJa, heard say that Judas had gathered unto 
him a ^nmltitude and company of the faithful to 
go out with him to war; 

14 He said, I will get me a name and honour 
in the kingdom ; for I will go fight with Judas 
and them that are with him, who despise the 
king's commandment.

15 So lie made him ready 
went with him a mighty host of the ungodly to 
help him, and to be aveng-ed of the children of 
Israel. 

16 And when he came near to tlie going up of g Jo*, lo, 
s Beth-horon, Judas weni forth to meet him with s/sf 
a small company : 

17 Who when they sa'vv the ho§t coming to 
meet them, said unto Judas, How shall we be 
able, being so few, to fight against so great a mul- 
titude a7id so sti'ong, seeing we are ready to faint 
with fasting all this day ? 

18 Unto whom Judas answered, ^ It is no h judges-. 
hard matter for many to be shut up in the hands *i^g^2ar 
of a few ; and with the God of hea"S'en it is all 14'. u. 
one, to deliver with a great multitude, or a small 
company : 

19 For the victory of battle standeth not Mn ;?,. s?., 
the multitude of an host ; but strength cometh ^^-- "■ 
from heaven. 

20_ They come |1 against us f iii much pride n or, 
and iniquity to destroy us, and our wives and ";"^''_."'- 
children, and to spoil us : in muin- > 

21 But we fight for our lives and our laws, pfidefor. 

22 Wherefore the Lord himself will overthrow l^l^^f^y'! 
them before our face : and as for you, be ye 
not afi-aid of them. 

23 Now as soon as he had left off speaking, 
he leapt suddenly upon them, and so ^ Seron r ver. 13, 
and his host was overthrown before him. 

24 And they pursued diem f from the going tGrjnthe 
down of Beth-horon unto the plain, w4iere were ^''"S'^"'^"- 
slain about eight hundred men of them j and the 
residue fled into the land of the Philistines. 

25 *Then began the fear of Judas and 
brethren, and an exceeding great dread, to 
upon the nations round about them : 

26 Insomuch as his fame came unto 
king, and all nations talked of the battles 
Judas. 

27 Now when king Antiochus h.eard these 
things, he was full of indignation: ™ wherefore m Ps. sa. a. 
he sent and gathered together all the forces of his 
realm, even a very strong army. 

28 He opened also his treasure, and gave 
his soldiers pay for a year, commanding 
them to be ready f whensoever he should need t g^ 
them. ^^If^y 

29 Nevertheless when he saw that the money 
of his treasures failed, and fthat the tributes in tcr. 
the country were small, because of the dissension 'J^filcfon oj 
and plague, which he had brought upon tlie land J^*f„V 
||_ in taking away the laws which had been of old -^'^'-'eje 
time ; 

30 He feared t that he should not be able to '{^"^jji^ 
bear the charges any longer, nor to have such -^Gx^lLr 
gifts to give so liberally as he did before : for he nfCvf 
had abounded above the kings that were be- 
fore him. 

pi Wherefore being greatly » perplexed in his n Ps.2, 
mind, he determinod to go into Persia, there to '^ *' 
take the tributes of the countries, and to gather 
much money. 

32 So he left Lysias, a nobleman, and one of 
the blood royal, to oversee the afiairs of the 

king,.

3G And that he should place sti\ingers in all

37 So tlie king took the half of the forces that 
remained, and depiirted from Antioch, f his 
royal cit\-, the hundied forty and sex'enth yeiir ; 
and ha\ing passed the riAer Euphrates, he went 
tlirough the high countries. 

35 Then Lj'sias chose Ptolemee the son of

men "* of the king's friends : 

39 And witii them he sent forty thousand foot- 
nicn, and se\en thousiind horsemen, to go into 
tlie land of Juda, and to destroy it, as the king 
commanded. 

40 So tliey \\ent forth with iill their poner,

41 -And the merchants of the country, hearing

much, w ith II ser\ants, imd came into the camp 
to buy the children of Israel for slaves : a power 
also of Syria and of the land H of the Philistines

43 They s;»id one to another. Let us restore the

44 Then \\as the congregation gathered to-

45 Now Jeioisalem lay " void as a wilderness,

that it was strong and well harnessed, and com- 
passed round about with horeemen ; and these 
were expert of war. 

8 Then said Judas to the men that were with 
him, ^ Fear ye not their multitude, neither be j'e 
afraid of their assault. 

9 Remember how our fathers were defn-ered 
in tlie Red sea, when Pharaoh pursued them 
with an army. 

10 Now tiierefore let us cry unto heaven, if 
peradventure the Lord ^^ill have mercy upon us, 
and * remember the covenant of our fathers, 
and destroy this host before our fece this 
day: 

11 That so all the heathen may know that 
there is one- who delivereth and saveth Israel. 

12 Then the strangers lifted up their eyes, 
and saw them coming OA^er against them. 

13 Wherefore they went out of tlie camp to 
battle ; but they tliat were with Judas ^ sounded 
their trumpets. 

14 So they joined batde, and tlie heathen be- 
ing discomfited fled into the plain. 

15 Howbeit, all the hindinost of them w^ere 
slain witli the sword : for they pursued them 
unto t Gazera, and unto the plains of Idumea, 
and Azotus, and Jamnia, so that there were 
slain of them about tiiree thousand men. 

16 This done, Judas returned agaiin witli his 
host from pursuing tliem, 

17 And said to the people, s Be not gi'eedy of 
the spoils, inasmuch as there is a battle before us, 

18 And Gorgias and his host are here by us 
in the mountain : but stand ye now against our 
enemies, and overcome them, and after this ye 
may boldly take the spoils. 

19 As Judas w^as yet speaking these words, 
there appeared a pait of them looking out of tiie 
mountain : 

20 Who when they perceived diat the Jews 
had put their host to flight, and were burning the 
tents ; for the smoke that was seen declared what 
was done : 

21 \Mien therefore they perceived these 
things, ^ they were sore afi-aid, and seeuig also 
the host of Judas m the plain ready to fight, 

22 They fled every one into tlie land of 
strangere. 

23 Then Judas returned to spoil the tents, 
\\'here tliey got much gold, and silver, and 
blue silk, and purple of the sea, and great 
riches. 

24 After this they ■\\'ent home, and sung ' a 
song of dianksgiving, and praised the Lord in 
heaven : because it is good, because his mercy 
cndureth for ever. 

25 Thus Israel had a great deliverance that 
day. 

26 -Now all the strangers that had escaped 
came and told ^ Lysias what had happened : 

27 Who, \vhen he heaid thereof, A\'as con- 
founded and discouraged, because neither such 
things as he would were done unto Israel, nor such 
things as the king commanded him were come 
to pass.

28 The next year therefore following, Lysias cHtl^r 
gathered together threescore thousand choice ^■'^^^, 
men of foot, and five thousand horsemen, tliat ^ 
he might subdue them. 

29 So they came into ' Idumea, and pitched ' ^*''- '* 
tlieir tents at Bethsura, and Judas met diem 
with ten thousand men. 

30 And -ivhen he saw that mighty anny, he 
prayed, and said. Blessed ait tliou, O Saviour

34 So they joined battle; and there were cir.155. 
slain of the host of Lysias about five thousand 
men, even before them were they slain. 

35 Now when Lysias saw liis anny put to 
flight, and the manliness c^ Judas' soldiers, and 
how they were ready either to live or ^ die vali- p ctap. 
antly, he \A'ent into Antiochia, and gatliered to- 
gether a company of sti-angers, and having made 
his araiy gi-eater than it was, he purposed to 
come again into Judea. 

36 Then said Judas and his brethi-en, Behold, 
om- enemies are discomfited : let us go up to 
cleanse and || dedicate the sanctuary, 

37 Upon this all the host assembled tliemselves ' 
together, and went up into "^ mount Sion. 

38 And when they saw the sanctuaiy desolate, 
and tlie altar profaned, and the gates burned up, 
and shi-ubs growing in the courts as in a forest, 
or in one of the mountains, yea, and the priests' 
chambers pulled do\Mi ; 

39 ' They rent tlieir clothes, and made great rchap. 
lamentation, and cast ashes upon theii- heads, ^" "' 

40 And fell do\\ n flat to the gi'ound upon their 
faces, and blcAv ari alaim with the trumpets, and 
cried toward heaven. 

41 Then Judas appointed certain men to fight 
against those that were in the * fortress, until he » chap. i. 
had cleansed the sanctuary'. ^^' ^' ^^' 

42 So he chose priests of blameless converea- 
tion, such as had pleasure in die law : 

43 Who cleansed the sanctuai-j', and bare but 
the defiled stones unto an unclean place. 

44 x\nd Av^hen as they consulted Avliat to do 
with the altar of bumt-ofterings, >vhich \vs& 
profaned ; 

45 They thought it best to pull it doMTi, lest 
it should be a reproach to them, because die 
heathen ' had defiled it ; w herefore they pulled j cjhaj.. 
it down, 

46 And laid up the stones in the mountain of 
the temple in a convenient place, until there

47 Then tii< y took whole stones "according 
o (he law, and builL a new altar according to 
the fcjrmcr ; 

4-8 And made np ^^^ * spnctunr^', and the 
things that were \\'\ iiiu die lempie, luid liailowed

altiir of burnt -offenngs, and of incense, and the 
table. 

50 And ' upon the altar they bunied incense, 
and the kmips iKut were upon die ciindlestick 
they lishted, that they might give light in the 
temple. 

5 1 Furthermore they set die loaves upon the 
t.ible, and |1 spiei'.d out the vails, and finished iill 

he works which they had begun to make. 

52 Now on tlie five and t\\ entieth day of the

in the himdied forty and eighdi >ear, they rose 
up betimes in the morning, 

53 And oftercd siicrifiee according to the law 
upon * die new altar of bumt-ofi'erings, \\ hich 
Uiey liad made. 

54 Look, at what time and what day the 
heathen had profaned it, even in diat was it dedi- 
cated with songs, and citherns, and hiirj^s, and 
cymlxJ-. 

55 Then all the people * fell upon dieir faces, 
worshipping and praising the God of heaven, 
who had gi\en diem good success. 

5G >And so they kept the dedication of the alt;ir 
eight days, and offered bunit-offerings with glad-

and praise. 

57 They decked also the fore-front of the

and die gates and die cliambers diey || renewed, 
and II hanged doors upon diem. 

58 Thus was there very great gladness among 
th:e people, for du.t die reproach of the heathen

59 Moreover, Judas and his brethren with the

ABEES. Apocrypha. 

NO^\'■ when the nations round about heard 
that the iJtar was built, and the sanctuar\' 
renewed as before, *it displeased dicni \ery 
much. 

2 Wherefore tliey thought ''to destroy .... ,. ,„ 
generation of Jacob that w ;ls among them", and ^- '• 
thereupon diey begiui to slay mid destroy the 
people. 

3 Then Judas fought against the children of 
Esau in Iduniea, at || Arabattine, because they l^^J^^' 
besieged Israel : and he gave them a great over- "f; '^^''*^'- 
thro\\ , cuid abated their courage, luid took theii ^"JtaVuae. 
spoils. 

4 Also he remembered the || injury of the J^or; 
chilclien of || Bean, who had been a snme and |or' 

an offence inito the people, in that diey lay in cen.'ac.??. 
wait f(;r them in tlie ways. si^m"^^' 

5 He shut them up therefore in the towers, 
and encamped iig^iinst them, and destroyed them 

I utterly, and Vmnied the to\vers of that place w ith 
! fire, and all that were therein. 

6 Af erward he passed over to the children oT 

' Amnion, where he found a mighiy p(A\er, and cisam. 
much people, v, idi Timodieus their e;tptiiin. *'■ '■ 

7 So he fought many Ixittles with them, till at 
length thty were discomfited before him ; and 
he smote them. 

8 And when he had taken Jazar, wi*h tlie 
towiis belonging diercto, he returned into Judca. 

9 Tlien the hea'hen diat were at Gakuid as- 
sembled diemsehes together agtdnst die Isi-ael- 
ites that w ere in their qUcUtcrs, to destroy them ; 
but diey fled to die foitre.ss of Dathema, 

10 And sent letters unto ** Judas and his bre- 
thren, The heathen that aie round about us are 
assembled together against us to destroy us : 

1 1 And th( y are preparing to come and take 
die fortress w !iereun*:o we are fled, * Timothcus 

; being ci-p^iiin uf their host. 

12 ^ Come now therefore, and deliver us from ^ j^^ig^ 
their hands, for many of us are slain : "• «• 

13 Yea, iUl our brethren that were in the places 
of T(. hie are put to death : their wi\e-^ and their 

; children also they have carried away captives, and 
borne away their stuff; and they have destroyed 
dierc about a thous;\nd men. 

14 While these letters w-ere yet reading, be- 
hold, there ainie other messengers from Giili- 
lee, with dicir clothes rent, who reported on this 
wise, 

15 And said, They of Ptolemais, and of Ty-

diese words, there assembled a great congrega-

ing, Take 3-e tlie cliai'ge of this people, and see 
that ye niaJce not wai- against the ' heatlien until 
the time that we come again. 

20 Now unto Simon ^Aere given three thou- 
sand men to go into Galilee, and unto Judas 
eight thousand men for the coimti-j' of Galaad. 

21 Then went Simon into Galilee, where he 
fought many battles witli tlie heathen, so that 
the heatlien were ^ discomfited by him. 

22 And he pursued tliem imto the gate of 
' Ptolemais ; and there were slaui of the headien 
about diree thousand men, A^hose spoils he took. 

23 And il those that A^-ere in Galilee, and m 
Arbattis, with their wives and their childi'en, 
and all that they had, took he away with /lim, 
and brought tliem into Judea with great joy. 

24 Judas Maccabeus also and "" his brother 
Jonathan went over Jordait, and tra\ elled three 
days journey in the wilderness, 

25 Where they met A\ith die Nabathites, who 
came unto them in peaceable manner, and told 
them every thing tliat had happened to tiieii- bre- 
thren in die land of Galaad : 

26 And how tliat many of them were shut up 
in II Bosora, and Bosor, and Alema, || Caqahor, 
Maked, and Camaim ; all these cides are strong 
and great : 

27 And that they were shut up in- the rest of 
the cities of the country of Galaad, and that a- 
gainst to-morrow || they had appointed to bring 
their host against the forts, and to take them, 
and to destroy them all in one day. 

28 Hereupon Judas and his host turned sud- 
denly by the way of the wilderness vmto |j Bo- 
sora ; and when he had won the city, he slew all 
the males with the edge of the s\a ord, and took 
all their spoils, and burned the city with fire. 

29 From A^hence he removed by night, and 
went till he came to " the foitress. 

30 And betimes in the morning they f looked 
up, and behold, there was an innumerable people 
bearing ladders and other engines of Avar, to take 
the foitress: for || they assaulted them. 

31 \\'hen Judas therefore saw that the battle 
was begim, and that the cry of the city \^ent up 
to heaven, v.ixh titunpets, and a great sound, 

32 He said unto his host. Fight this day for 
your brethren. 

33 So he -uent forth behind them in three 
companies, ° who sounded their tnmipets, and 
cried w ith prayer. 

34 Then the host of Timotheus, kno^ving 
tliat it was Maccabeus, fled from him : wherefore 
he smote them with a gi-eat slaughter; so that 
there were killed of them that day about eight 
thousand men. 

35 This done, Judas turned aside to Maspha; 
and*' after he had assaulted it, he took it, p and 
slew all the males therein, and received the spoils 
thereof, and burnt it a\ ith fire. 

36 From thence Avent he, and took 1 Casphon, 
Maged, Bosor, and the other cities of the coun- 
tiy of Galaad. 

37 After tliese tilings gatheied Timotheus 



anotiier host, and encamped against Raphon be- chr!^t 
yond the brook. <Z^.^ 

38 So Judas sent men to espy the host, \A"ho 
brought him A\'ord, saying, " All the headien «■ ver. g. 
that be round about us are assembled unto tiiem, 
e\"en a \evy gi^eat host. 

39 He hath also hired the Arshians to help 
them, and diey ha.xe pitched their tents beyond 
die brook, ready to come and fight against thee. 
Upon this Judas went to meet them. 

40 Then ' Timodieus said imto the captains* '^"■^■ 
of liis host, \\Tien Judas and his host come 
near the brook, if he pass o^er first unto us, A'-e 
shall not be able to Anthstand him ; for he AviU 
mightily prcA-ail against us : 

41 But if he be afi-aid, and camp beyond the 
ri\-er, AA-e shall go OAer unto liini, and preA'ail 
against him. 

42 NoAv when Judas came near ' the brook, « A'er, 35. 
he caused the scribes of the people to remain by 

die_ brook : unto Avhom he gaA-e commandment, 
saying, "" Suffer no man to remain in die camp, u see 
but let all come to the battle. l^^tl^ 

43 So he A\ent iii^st OA-er unto them, and all 
the people after him: then all the heathen, 
being discomfited before liim, cast aAAXiy thek 
Aveapons, and fled unto die temple diat AA'as at 
Cai'ncdm-. 

44 ButJI tiiey took the citj', and burned die i^ J-^^^^' 
temple A\'ith all that AA-ere dierein. Thus AAas c^plliy. 
Caniaim subdued, ^ neidier could they stand any x josh, 
longer before Judas. ' *■ '• 

45 Then Judas gathered together all the Is- 
raelites that Avere in the country of Galaad, 
from the least unto the greatest, even dieir aaIa-cs, 
and theii- cliiidi-en, and their stuli, a Aer\' great 
host, to the end they might come into the land of 
Judea. 

46 NoAv AA^lien diey came unto Ephron.C^Js 
AA-as a great city in the AA"ay as they should go, 
veiy AA"eil fortified) tiiey could not turn from it, 
either on the right hand or the left, but must 
needs pass tin-ough the midst of it. 

47 Then they of die cit\^ sliut them out, and 
stopped up the gates Avith stones. 

48 Whereupon Judas sent unto them '" in y ver. 25. 
peaceable maimer, saying. Let us pass dii-ougli 

your land to go into our oami countn', and none 
shall do you any hiut ; Ave aa-HI only pass thi-ough

55 Now what time as Judas and Jonathan

56 Joseph the son of Zachaiias, and Azariiis, 
aiptiiiiis of the garrisons, heard of the ViJicJit 
acts ;uid a\ lulike deeds which the}' had done. 

37 W hciefore they siiid, Let us also get us 
a luime, ar.d go figlit against the headien that 
are lound about us. 

58 So when they had given charge unto the 
garrison that was widi them, diey went toward 
Jamnia, 

59 Then came "^ Gorgias and his men out of 
die city to fight against them. 

60 And so it was, that Joseph and Azarias 
were put to Higlu, and pursued unto tlie borders 
of Judca: and there were slJn that day of the 
people of Israel about two thousand men. 

61 Tlius was diere a great oveitliiow among 
the children of Isniel, bet-ause duy ^\ere not 
obedient unto Judcis iuid his breUuen, ' but 
thou;iht to do some vali;int act. 

62 Moixo\er these men came not of the seed 
of those, b}' w hose hiind deliverance was given 
unto Israel. 

63 Ho^\ bcit, the man Judas and his brethren 
were gready renowned in the sight of all Israel, 
and of all the heathen, wheresoe\er their name 
WHS heaid of; 

64 Insomuch as "^ the people assembled unto 
them w ith joyful acclamations. 

65 Aften\-ard went Judas fordi with his bre- 
thren, and fought against the childien of Ksau, in 
the liuid toA\'ard the south, where he smote He- 
bron, ;md tlic t towns thereof, ;md pulled down 
die fortress of it, and bimted die tON\ers Uiereot

66 From thence he removed to go into die 
land of t tlie Pliilistines, and passed through 
' Samiiria. 

67 At that time certain priests, desirous to shew 
dieir valour, were slain in battle, for diat they 
went out to fight unad\iscdly. 

68 So Judas turned to ^ Azotus in die land of 
the Philistines, and w hen he had pulled down their 
altiirs, and burned their carved images with fire, 
and .spoiled dieir citfes, he returned into the land

' tower shut up .the Israelites round about the 
sanctuary, and sought always their hiut, and tlie 
strengthening of the heathen. 

19 Wherefore Judas, puiposing to destroy 
them, called all the people together to besiege 
them. 

2P So they came together, and besieged them 
in the^ huhdied and tiftiedi yeai-, and he made 
mounts for shot against them, and other engines. 

21 Howbeit, certain of them that u ere besieg- 
ed got forth, unto whom some ™ ungodly men 
of Krael joined themselves : 

22 And they \^-ent unco the king, and said, 
HoA\- long \\iU it be ere thou execute judgment, 
and avenge our breairen ? 

23 We ha\e been willing to serve " thy fa- 
ther, and to do as he would have us, and to obey 
his commandments; 

24 For -which cause they of our nation be- 
siege the tO'\'.er, and ai^e alienated from us : 
moreo\er, as many of us as they could light on 
they slew, and spoiled our inheritance. 

25 Neither have they stretched out their 
hand against us only, but also against all their 
borders. 

26 And behold, this day are they besiegiiag 
the tov.er at Jerusalem, to uike it: °the saiictu- 
ary also and Bedisura have diey fortified. 

27 Wherefore, if thou dost not prevent them 
quickly, they uili do greater things than these, 
neither shalt thou be able to rule diem. 

28 Now when the king heard this, he was 
angrj', and gathered together all his fiiends, and 
the captains of his anny, and those tiiat bad 
charge of the horse. 

29 There came also unto him from other 
kingdoms, and from p isles of the sea, bands of 
hired soldiers. 

30 So that the number of his army was an 
hundred thousand footmenj and twenty' thousand 
horsemen, and two and diirty elephants exercis-

31 These A\"ent through Idumea, and pitched 
against ^Bethsura, v.hich they assaulted many 
days, making engines of war; but they of Beth- 
sura came out, and burned them ^ith lire, and 
fought valiantly. 

32 Upon this Judas removed from die to^ver,

king's camp. 

33 Then the king rising very early marched

to the king. 

9 And him he sent with that w icked " Alci- ^ ver. s.

nv.inded that he should take vengeance of die 
children of Israel. 

10 So they departed, and came w ith a great

peaceable words *^ deceitfully. t cen. 

1 1 But diey gave no heed to their w ords ; ** "' 
for they saw tliat diey were come widi a great

13 Now^ die 8 Assideans were the first among or.'m^""'

14 For said tliey, One that is a priest of die

15 So he spake unto them peaceably, and sware 
unto them, saying. We will piocure the harm 
neither of you nor your friends. 

16 Whereupon they belic\ed him : how beit, 
he took of them threescore men, aiid slew them 
in one day, according to die words whicli he 
wTote, 

17 '' The flesh of thy saints /wd^" t/tey cast out,yiVs.

upon all die people, w ho said, Tliei e is neither 
truth nor Righteousness in them; 'for die' tcr. 
have broken the coveniuit and oaUi that tlie^ ^t^l

19 iVfter this removed Bacchides from Jeru-

25 On the other side, when Alcinius saw 
that Judas and his compcmy had !| gotten the up- 
per hand, and knew that he w.s, not able t to abide 
their force, he went again to cne king, and said 
all the worst of them that he could. 

26 Then the king sent Niciinor, one of his 
honourable •" princes, a man that bare deadly 
hate unto Israel, with commandment to destroy 
the people. 

27 So Nicanor came to Jemsalem w ith a great 
force; and sent unto Judas and his bretin-en de- 
ceitfully with t friendly A\ords, saying, 

28 Let there be no battle beru'een nie and you ; 
I A-\ ill come \\ ith a few men, that I may f see you 
in peace. 

29 He came therefore to Judas, ancl they 
saluted one another peacci.biy. Ho^\•beit the 
enemies v.ere prepaied to tiike a^^"ay Judas by 
violence. 

30 AVliich tiling after it was knm\ n to Juckis, 
to wit, that he came unto him with deceit, he 
was sore afraid of him, and " \i ouid see Iiis face 
no more. 

3 1 Nicanor also, w hen he sav,- that his counsel 
was discovered, v.ent out to t fis^"^t agaiitst Judas 
beside |) Capharsalama : 

32 Where there were slain of Nicanor's side 
about fi\'e thousand men, and t/ie rest tied into 
ihe ° citj- of David. 

33 x\fter this went Nicanor up to mount 
Sion, and there came out of the sanctuary cer- 
tain of the priests and ceitain of the elders of the 
people, to salute him peaceably, and to she\v 
him the bunit-sacrifice that was offered for tlie 
king. 

34 But he mocked them, and laughed at 
them, and t abused them shamefully, and spake 
proudly, 

35 And swai'e in his ^\Tath, sayiiig, Unless 
Judas and liis host be now deli\"erfcd into my 
hands, if ever I come again f in safetj-, I v^ill 
burn up this house : and with that he u ent out 
in a great rage. 

36 Then the priests entered in, and p stood 
before the altar imd the temple, weepii:ig, and 
saying, 

37 Thou, Lord, didst choose this house to 
be called by thy name, and to be a ' house of 
prayer and petition for thy people : 

38 Be a^■enged of this man and his host, and 
let them f.Jl by the sword : remember their 
blasphemies, and stiffer them not to continue 
any longer. 

39 So Nicanor \\ent out of Jerusalem, and 
pitched his tents in Bethhoron, where an host 
out of Syria met him. 

40 But Judas pitched in Adasa vvith three 
thousand men, and there he prayed, saying, 

41^ O Lord, M"hen they that were sent from 
the king of the AssvTians bl.tsphemed, thine aiigel 
went out, and smote an hundred fourscore and 
five thousand of them : 

42 Even so desti-oy thou this host before us 
this day, that the rest may knoAV that he hath 
spoken blasphemously against thy sitnctuary, and i which Wiis agieed upon ;

43 So the thiiteenth day of the month Aditr 
the hosts joined battle; but Nicimor's host v.i.s 
discomfited, cind he himself was nrsc slain in the 
battle. 

44 Now when Nicanor's host saw that he was

46 Whereupon they came forth out of all the *■ *^- 
towns of Judea round about, and closed them 
in ; so that they, turning back upon them that 
ptu-sued them, were all siain with the sa\ ord, and 
not one of them was left. 

47 Afterwards they took the spoils and the 
prey, and smote off Nicanor's head, and his right 
hand, which he stretched cut so ''proudly, and =«• ver. v. 
brought them avray, and hanged them up to\\ta-d

13 Also that, whom they would help to a

■w ould, they displace : finally, that they \\ere 
greatly excJted : 

14 Yet for all this none of them wore a 
^ crown, or was clothed in purple, to be m;igni-

15 MoreoAcr, how they had made for them-

tlieir country, and that all were obedient to that

mans or aiiy of tiieir confederates tliioughout idl 
their dominion, 

25 The people of tlie Jews shall help them, as 
ihe time shall l3e appointed, with ''all their 
heart : 

26 Neither siiall they give any thing unto them 
that make w ar upon them, or aid them w ith vic- 

uils, weapons, money, or ships, as it hath seem- 
ed good unto the Romans ; but they shall keep 
iheir coven;ints, without taking any thing there-

28 ■■ Neither shall victuiJs be given to them

10 Then Judas said, ^ God forbid that I should 
do this thing, and flee away from them : if our 
time be come, let us die manflilly for our bre- 
thi'en, and f let us not stain our honour. 

11 With that the host of B ace hides removed 
out of their tents, and stood over against || them, 
their horsemen being divided into two troops, 
and their slingers and ai-chers going before the 
host, and they that marched in tlie fore^\'ard were 
all mighty men. 

12 As for Bacchides, he Mas in the right 
wing : so the host drew near on the t\\o parts, 
and sounded their trumpets. 

13 They also of Judas' side, ^even they sound- 
ed their trumpets also, so ^ that the Ccirth shook 
at the noise of the ai-mies, and the battle conti- 
nued from morning till night. 

14 Now Avhen Judas perceived that Bac- 
chides and the strength of his army were on the 
right side, he took with him all the liai-dy men, 

15 Who discomfited the right \\ing, and pur- 
sued them unto the mount Azotus. 

16 But when they of the left wing savv* that 
they of the right wing were discomfited, they 
{brio\\ed upon Uidas and those that were with 
him hard at the heels from behind : 

17 Whereupon there ^vas a sore battle, inso- 
much as many were slain on both parts. 

18 s Judas also \^■as killed, and the remnant 
fled. 

19 Then Jonathan and Simon took Judas their 
bi'other, and buried him in the sepulclire of Iiis 
fathers in '' Modin. 

20' MoreoA^er 'they bewailed him, and all 
Israel made gieat lamentation for him, and 
mourned many days, saying, 

21 "^ Ho^v is the valiant man fallen, tliat deli- 
vered Israel ! 

22 As for the olher tilings conceming Judas 
and his wars, and the noble acts \\hich he did, 
and his greatness, they are not Avritten : for they 
\\-ere ^ery many. 

23 ir Now after the death of Judas, the wicked 
began. to put forth their heads in all the coasts 
of Israel, arid there arose up all such as wrought 
iniquity. 

24 In those days also was there a verj' gi-eat 
famine, by reason whereof th.e country revolted 
and went with j] them.

25 Then Bacchides chose the v,icked men, 
and made them lords of the country. 

26 And they made enquiry and search for Ju- 
das' friends, and brought them unto Bacchides, 

who took vengeance of them, and i used themtcr.moc*- 
despitefuUy. . ... '""""■ 

27 So was there a great afiliction in Israel, 

' the like whereof was not since the time that a i see dm. 
prophet was not seen among them. wani,. 

28 For this cause all Judas' friends came to- ^*- *'• 
gether, and said unto "Jonathan, m chap. 

29 Since thy brother Judas died, we have no *' *• 
man like him to go forth, against our enemies, 
and Bacchides, and against them of our nation 
that are adversaries to us. 

30 Now therefore we have chosen thee this 
day to be our prince and captain in his stead, 
that thou mayest figlit our battles. 

31 Upon this Jonathan took the goAemance 
upon him at that time, and rose up instead of 
his brother Judas. 

32 But wlien Bacchides gat kno\\ ledge thereof, 
he sought for to slay him. 

33 Then Jonathan, and " Simon his brother, n chap, 
and all that were \\\t\\ him, perceiving that, fled ^' ^' 
into the ^\Tldemess of Thecoe, and pitched their 
tents by the water of the pool Asphai'. 

34 II Which when Bacchides understood, he n 90 
came near to Jordan with all his host upon the '^vhfnBac- 
sabbath-day. tr,YS;„ 

35 II _No\v Jonathan had sent his brother || John, "^y//'"" 
a captain of the people, to pray his friends the """^ "">'■■ 
Nabathites, f that they might leave with them iildq?''' 
their carnage, which was much. i.is.c.i. 

36 But the children of f Jambri came out of L^Ae 
Medaba,_and took John, and all that he had, 7mdt$'th^ 
went their ■^.'."ay with it. 'rfa''""'' 

37 After this came word to Jonathan and Si- ""J?-' °^' 
mon his brother, that the children of Jambri ^L-. 
made a great mairiage, and ^-ere bringing the 
bride from || Nadabatha witli a great train, as 11 or, 
being the daughter of one of the gi^eat princes '^^"'''*''' 
of Chanaan. 

38 Therefore they remembered John their 
brother, and \\ ent up, and hid themsehes under 
the covert of the mountain : 

39 Where they iiRed up their eyes, and look- 
ed, _ar,d behold, tliere \vas much ado and ° great ° ^er. ss.

his friends and brethren, to meet them A\ith

_ 40 Then Jonathan and they that Avere with "•«""<"",

them in such sort, as man\' fell dov.-n dead, and

came on the sabbatli-(.lii>' uuio ihe banks of Jor- 
dan with a great power. 

44 'J'hen Jonathan said to Iiis company, 
Let us go up now and tight for our lives, for it 
standeth not witli us to-day, as in time past : 

45 For, Ixliold, ""the battle is before us and 
behind us, luid the n-atcr of Jordan on this side 
ajid that side, the miush likewise and wood, 
neither is diere place for us to turn aside. 

46 \Vherefore ' cry ye now unto heaven, that 
ye luay be deii\erc^ tiom the hand of your 
enemies. 

47 With that they joined battle, and Jona- 
tlian stretched forth his hand to smite Bacchides, 
but he turned back from him. 

48 Then Jonathitn and the\' that were with 
him leaped into Jordan, and swam over unto 
the farther bank : ho^\ beit, the other passed not 
o^'C'• Jordan unto them. 

49 So there were slain of Bacchides' side 
that day about f a thousimd men. 

50 Afteruard returned ^.7fr/i/V/c.y to Jerusalem, 
and II repaired the strong cities in Judea ; the 
fort in Jericho, and Emmi.us, and Beili-horon, 
and Bethel, and Thamnatha, Pharathoni, ancl 
II Taplion, t/iesc did he strengthen with high 
walls, w iih gates, and \\ith bais. 

5 1 And in them he set a giirrison, Uiat they 
mi.giit work malice upoi\ Israel. 

52 He fortified also f the city Bethsura, and 
Gazara, and the tower, and put forces in them, 
and provision of victuals. 

53 Besides, he took the chief men's sons in 
the countiy for hosfciges, and put them into the 
tower at Jerusalem to be kept. 

54 Moreover, in the hundred fifty and third 
year, in the second month, Alcimus command- 
ed that die wall of the inner court of the Siinc- 
tuiirj- should be pulled dowii ; he pulled down 
iJso die works of the prophets. 

55 And as he began * to pull down, even at 
that time \\ as Alcimus " plagued, and his enter- 
prises hindered : for his mouth w iis stopped, and 
he \\as taken w itli the palsy, so that he could no 
more speak iuiy thing, nor gi\e order concerning 
his house. 

56 So Alcimus died at tliat time with gi-eat 
torment. 

57 Now when Bacchides saw that Alcimus 
WdS dead, he returned to the king : w hereupon 
the land of Judea * was in rest tv. o ye.irs. 

58 Then all the ungodly men held a council, 
.siiying, Behold, Jonathan and his company nre 
at ease, and dwell w ithout caix : now therefore 
we will bring Bacchides hither, who shall tiike 
them all in one night. 

59 So they went and '' consulted with him. 

60 Then removed he, and came with a great 
host, and sent letters pri\ily to his adherents 
in Juden, that they should take Joiiatjian and 
those that were with him: howl)eit, they could 

■ not, * berause their counsel was known unto them. 

61 \\^hercfore diey took of the men of the 
countrj-, diat were autliors of that mi.schicf, about 
fifty persons, and slew tlicm.

65 But Jonathan left his brother Simon in the 
city, and went forth himself into the countrj-, and 
with a certain number went he forth. 

66 And he smote || Odonarkes and his bre- 1 or, 
thi-en, and the cliildren of Phasiron in their tent. '^'''"'"^'■ 

67 And ^\hen he began to smite them, and

68 And fought ag-ainst Bacchides, ^vho \vas 
discomfited by them, luid they afflicted him 
sore : for his counsel and tni\ ail was in viiin. 

69 Wherefore he was veiy wroth at the ' wick- c verses 
ed men that gave him counsel lo come into the "' "' 
country', insomuch that he slew many of tliem, 

and puiposed to return into his own country. 

70 Whereof when Jonath;ui had knowledge, 

he sent ambassadors unto him, ** to the end hcdHebr.

5 Else he will ^.emember all the evils that we 
have done against him, and against his brethren 
and his people. 
Ver. 3. 6 Whei-eibre he gaAC him authority to " gather 
together an host, and to pro\ide w-eapons, that 
he might aid him in battle : he commanded also 
that the hostages that were in the tower should 
be delivered him. 

7 Then came Jonatlian to Jerusalem, and read 
the letters in the audience of all the people, 
and of them that Aiere in the ^ tower : 

8 Who were sore afraid, when they heai'di 
that the king had given him authority to gather 
together an host. 

9 Whereupon they of the to'»\er * delivered 
their hostages unto Jonathan, and he delivered 
them unto their parents. 

10 This done, Jonathan settled himself in Je- 
rusalem, and began to build and repair the city. 

1 1 And he commanded the A^'orkmen to build 
^ the walls and the mount Sion round about 
with square stones for fortificatioii,; and tliey 
did so. 

12 Then the strangers, that were in the for- 
tresses which Bacchides had built, fled away ; 

13 Insomuch as everj' man left his place, and 
went into his own country. 

14 Only at Betlisura certain of those that had 
forsaken the law and the commandments remain- 
ed still : for it was their place of refuge. 

15 Now when king Alexander had heard 
i Ver. 6. ^vhat promises Demetrius s had sent unto Jona- 
than ; when also it was told him of the battles 
and noble acts Avhich he and his brediren had 
done, and of the pains that they had endured, 

16 He said. Shall we find such another man? 
now therefore we will make him our friend and 
confederate. 

17 Upon this he urote a letter, and sent it 
unto hirn, according to these words, saying, 

18 King ** Alexander to his brother Jonathan 
sendeth greeting: 

19 We have heard of thee, that thou ait a 
man of gieat povvcr, ajid meet to be our friend. 

20 Wherefore now this day we: ordain thee 
to be the high priest of thy nation, and to be 
called ' the king's friend ; (and there\i ithal he 
sent him '' a purple robe and a crow n of gold : ) 
and require thee to take our part, and keep 
friendship with us. 

21 So in the sevendi month of the himdred 
and sixtieth year, at the feast of the taber- 
nacles, Jonathan put on the holy robe, and 
gathered together forces, and provided much 
annour. 

22 Whereof when Demetrius heard, he was 
s'ciy sorry, and said, 

23 Wnat have we done, that Alexander hath 
prevented us in making amity v/ith the Jews to 
strengihen himself ? 

24 I also w ill wiite unto them words of en-

King Demetrius unto the people of the Jews

26 Whereas ye have kept ""covenants vithj^seechAp.

yourselves with our enemies, we have heard 
hereof, and are glad. 

27 Wherefore now continue ye still to lie 
faithful unto us, and we will well recompense 
you for the things j^e do in our behalf, 

28 And w^ill grant you many immunities, 
" and give you rewards. nverv24. 

29 And now do I free j'ou, and for j'our sake 
I release rJl the Jews, "from tributes, and from •^^'*''p- 
the customs of salt, and from crowTi taxes, 

30 And from that which appeitainedi unto 
me to recei\'e for the third part of the seed, and 
the half of the fruit of the trees, I release it from 
tliis day forth, so that they shall not be taken of 
the land of Judea, nor of the thj-ee governments 
which are added thereunto out of the countrj' of 
Samaria and Galilee, from this day forth for 
evermore. 

.31 Let p Jerusalem also be holy and free, pj'jf • "■ 
with the borders thereof, both from tenths and 
tributes. 

32 And as for i the toA\er wliich is at Jerusa- q veises

to the high priest, that he may set in it such men

33 Moreover, I freely set at liberty every one

Jerusalem, and the fortifying thereof round 
about, expenses shall be gi\en out of the king's 
accounts, as also for the building of the ^\'alls in 
Judea. 

46 No\v when Jonath:u\ and the people heard 
these \vords, tlity ga\e no credit unto them, 
nor recei\'ed them, because they remembered 
the great evil that he had clone in Israel : '' for 
he h id afflicted them ^■ely sore. 

47 But with Alexander they ^vere well pleas- 
ed, lx:cause he v.as the first that entreated of true 
peace with them, and they were confederate 
with him always. 

48 Then gathered king Alexander great forces, 
and camped onxt against Demetrius. 

49 And after the two kings had joined battle, 
Demetrius' host fled : but Alexander followed 
after him, and " pre^■ailed against them. 

50 And he continued the battle veiy sore 
until the sim went dow n ; and that day was 
Demetrius slain. 

5 1 Afterward Alexander sent ^ ambassiidois 
to Ptolemce king of Egypt witli a message to 
this efttxt : 

52 Forasmuch as I am come again to my 
realm, and am set in the throne of my p'ro- 
genitors, and have gotten the dominion, ajid 
overthromi Demetrius, ajid reco\ ered our coun- 
53 For after 1 had joined battle m itli him, 

both he and his host v.as discomfited by us, so 
that we sit in the throne of his kingdom : 

54 Now tlierefore let us make a league ' of 
amity together, and gi\e me noM- thy daughter 
to wife : and 1 v. ill be thy son in-law, and \\\\\ 
give bodi thee and her gifts according to tJiy 
dignity. 

55 Then Ptolemee the king gave ans^\er, 
saying, Haj^py be the day wherein thou didst 
return into the land of thy fathers, and sattest 

rvcr. 5j. fjn the throne of their kingdom. 

56 And now w ill I do to thee, as thou hast 
^mtten : meet me therefore at Ptolemais, that

58 Where king Alexander meeting him, he 
gave unto him his daughter Cleopatra, and cele- 
brated her martiage at Ptolemais with great glo- 
ry, •* as the manner of kings is. ^ *1^ '^"'• 

59 Now king Alexander had written mito Jo- 
naUian, that he .should come and meet him. 

60 Who thereupon -went honourabh* to Ptole- 
mais, where he met die two kings, imd gave 
them and their friends siher and gold, and many 
presents, and ' found fa\our in dieir sight. iCtn.co < 

61 At that time certain pestilent fellows of 
Israel, ^ men of a wicked life, assembled them- j char. r. 
selves against him, to accuse him : but the king*'*^ 
would not hear them. 

62 Yea more than that, the king commanded 
to take off his giuments, and clothe him in ' pur-'^ ctap. 

I pie : and they did so. 

j 63 .fVlso he made him sit by himself, and said - 
' unto his princes. Go with him into the midst of 
j the city, and make proclamation, that no man 
complain against him of any matter, tmd that no 
i man trouble him for any manner of cause. 
I 64 Now when his '"accusers saw that he was" ^'"■•'" 
I honoured according to the proclamation, aad 
■ clothed in pun:)le, they fled all a\\ ay. 
i 65 So die king honoured him, and wrote him 
among his chief friends, and made him a duke, 
and II partaker ol" his dominion, '^rmw-.f 

I 66 Afterward Jonadian returned to JenisiUem * pwn^' 
j with peace and gladness. 

I 67 Furthermore, in the hundred tlireescore '^^- '*'•

I 68 Whereof when king Alexiuider he;ird tell, 
j he was right soiry, and returned into Antioch. 
j 69 Then Demetrius made Apollonius die go-

together a great host, and camped in Jamnia, 
and sent unto Jonadian the high priest, sa\ing, 

70 Thou alone liftcst up tli\self against us, 
and "I am laughed to sconi lor diy sake, and <> P'- »»• ^•

71 Now therefore, if thou tniste.st in thine

but they of Joppe shut him ou't of the city, be- 
cause Apollonius had a garrison there. 

76 Then Jonathan laid siege unto it : Avhere- 
upon they of the city let him in for feiir : and 
so Jonathan Avon Joppe. 

77 Whereof -when Apollonius heard, he took 
three thousand horsemen, with a great host of 

i 68°''" footmen, and went to "■ Azotus || as one that jour- 
\ox, ai neyed, and therewithal || drev/ him forth into 
wc«li'p%.the plain, because he had a_ gi-eat number of 
l*""^'' ''■ horsemen, in ^hom he put his trust. 

78 Then Jonatkan followed alter him to Azo- 
tus, where the armies joined battle. 

79 Now * Apollonius had left a thousand 
horsemen in ambush. 

80 And Jonatlian knew that there was an am- 
bushment behind him ; for they had compassed 
in his host, and cast darts at tlie people, from 
morning till evening. 

81 But the people stood still, as Jonathan had 
commanded them : and so the |i enemies horses 
were tired. 

82 Then brought Simon forth his host, and set 
them against the footmen (for the horsemen were 
spent,) A\"ho were discomfited by him, and fled. 

83 The horsemen also, being scattered in the 
field, fled to ^ Azotus, and wowl into Beth-dagon, 
their idol's temple, for safety. 

84 But Jonatlian set fire on Azotus, and the 
cities round about it, and took tlieir spoils ; imd 
the " temple of Dagon, \\\^k\. them tliat A^'cre fled 
into it, he burned A\ith fire. 

85 Thus there A\ere burned aiid slain Avith 
the sAvord well nigh eight thousand men. 

86 And from thence Jonathan removed his host, 
and camped against ^ Ascalop, Aihere tlie men of 
the city canie forth, and met him A\ith great pomp. 

87 After this returned Jonathan and his host 
unto Jerusalem, ha\ing many spoils. 

88 NoAA- M'hen king Alexander heai'd these

89 And sent him a buckle of gola, as the use

3 Now as Ptolemee entered into the cities, 
he set in everj'' one of them a gan'ison of sol- 
diers to keep it. 

4 And Avhen he came near to Azotus, they 
shewed him the "" tem.ple of Dagon that was c chap. 30. 
burnt, and Azotus and the suburbs thereof that "' **• 
were destroj^d, and the bodies that A^ere cast 
abroad, and them that he had burnt in the bat- 
tle ; for they had made hec^ps of them by the 

way where he should pass. 

5 Also they told the king M-hatsoever Jona- 
than had done, to the intent he might blame 
him : but the king held his peace. 

6 Then Jonathan met the king "^with great d chap, 
pomp at Joppe, Mhere they saluted one another, ^**' °^' 
and t lodged. _ ■^Gv.iupt. 

7 Aftenvard Jonatlian, when he had gone with 
the king to the river called Eleuthems, returned 
again to Jerusalem. 

8 King Ptolemee therefore, haA-ing gotten the 
dominion of the cities by the sea unto Seleucia 
upon the sea-coast, imagined ^Avicked counselse^Ps-s^. 
against Alexander, 

9 Whereupon he sent ambassa.dors unto king 
Demetrius, saying, Come let us make a league

AA'hom Alexander hath, and thou shalt reign in 

tliy father's kingdom : 

10 For I repent that I ga\'e my doiughter unto 
him, for he sought to slay me. 

11 Thus did he ^ slander him, because he AA"as|^|;^*' 
desirous of his kingdom. 

12 Wherefore he took his daughter from 
him, and gave her to Demetrius, aiid forsook 
Alexander, so that theh* hatred AAas openly 
knoAvn. 

13 Then Ptolemee entered into Antioch, 
Avhere he set tAA'o ^ croAVTis upon his head, the i> chip. 
croAAai of Asia, and of Egypt. 

14 In the mean season Avas king Alexander 
in Cilicia, because those that dAA^elt in those 
parts had rcAolted from him. 

15 But when Alexander heard of this, he 
came to Avar ag,ainst him : AA'hereupon king 
Ptolemee brought forth his host, and m.et him 
Avith a mighty power, and put him to flight. 

16 So Alexander fled into 'Arabia, there tOiGai.i.r,,

not lay siege to the tow er, but come and speak 
with him at Ptoltmais in ^eat haste. 

23 Neveithelcss, Jonatliiui, when he heard 
this, commanded to besiege it siiU: and he 
chose certiin of the eldci-s of Israel, and the 
priests, ajid put himself in peril ; 

24 And took silver and gold, and raiment, 
iind divei-s pre.sents besides, and \\ent to Ptole- 
mais unto tlie king, '"where he found favour 
in his sight. 

25 And though certain " ungodly men of the 
people had made complaints ag-ajn.st him, 

26 Yet the king entreated him as his prede- 
cessors had done before, and promoted him in 
the sight of all his friends, 

27 And confirmed him in ° the high priest- 
hood, and in all the honours that he had before, 
and gave him pre-eminence among his chief 
friencU. 

28 Then Jonathan desired the king, that he 
AA'ould make PJudea free from tribute, as also 
the 1 three governments, with the country of 
Samaria; and he promised him three hundred 
talents. 

29 Ho the king consented, and WTote letters 
unto Jonatlian of all these things after diis 
manner : 

30 King Demetrius unto his brother Jona- 
than, and unto the nation of the Je^\'s, sendeth 
greeting : 

31 \Vt send you here a copy of the letter 
A\ hich Me did w rite unto our cousin Lasthenes 
concerning you, that ye might see it. 

32 King Demetrius unto his father Lasthenes 
sendeth greeting : 

33 We are determined to do good to the 
people of the iews, who are our fi'iends, and 
Iceej) covenants with us, because of their good 
will toward us. 

34 II Wherefore we ha\e ratified unto tliem 
the borders of Judea, with the three govern- 
ments of Apherema, and Lydda, and Ramathem, 
that are added unto Judea from the countrj- 
of Samaria, "■ and all things apperuiining imto 
them, for all such a.s do sacrifice in Jerusalem, 
instead of the payments which the king recei\- 
cd of them yearly aforetime out of the fruits of 
the earth and of trees. 

35 And as for other things tliat belong unto 
us, of the tithes and customs pertaining unto 
us, as also the salt-pits, and the crown-taxes, 
which arc due unto us, we discharge them of 
them all for their relief. 

36 And nodiing h.ereof shall be revoked from 
tliis tin^e fordi for ever. 

37 Now therefore .see diat diou make a copy 
of these things, and let it be deli\ered unto Jo- 
nathan, and set upon 'the holy mount in a con- 
spicuous p;yce. 

38 After this, when king Demetrius saw that 
the land v. as quiet beiore him, ;uk1 that no 
resistcUice was made against him. he sent away 
all liis forces, cvciy one to liis owti place, 
except certain bantis of strangere, whom he 
had gathered from tlic ' isles of the iieatlien : 




.c\BEES. Atwcryphu. 

wherefore all the forces of his fathers hated 
him. 

39 Moreover, there was one Trjphon, that 
had been of Alexander's part afore, who, seeing 
that all the host murmured against Demetrius, 
went to Simalcue the Arabian, that brovl^ht up 
Antiochus the young son of Alexander, 

40 And lay sore upon him to deliver him 
this young Antiochus., that he might reign in his 
father's stead: he told him therefore ail diat 

/Demetrius had done, and "how his men ofuver. ai. 
war \\ere at enmity \\ith him, and there he 
remained a long season. 

41 hi the mean time Jonathan sent unto king 
Demetrius, that he would cast those of » the " "^"^ ^■ 
tower out of Jerusi\Iem, and tiiose also in the 
fortresses: for they fought against Isinel. 

42 So Demetrius sent unto Jonathan, saying, 
I will not only do this for thee and thy people, 

but I w ill y greatly honour thee and thy nation, y vene 
if opportunity serve. **'"' 

43 Now therefore thou shalt do well, if thou 
send me men to help me ; for all my ibrces lu-e 
gone li-om me. 

44 Upon this Jonathan sent him three thou- 
sand strong men unto Antioch : and \\hen they 
came to the king, the king was veiy glad of 
their coming. 

45 Howbeit, diey that were of the city ga- 
diered themsehes togedier into die midst of the 
citj% to the number of one hundred and tw en- 

ty thousand men, *and would have slain diezs«»er. 
kmg. 

46 WTierefore the king fied into the court, 
but they of the citj- kept the passages oi the city, 
and beg-an to fight. 

47 Then the king called to the Jews for help, 
who came unto him all at once, and dispersing 
themsehes dirough the citj-, slew that day in the 
city to the number of an hundred tliousand. 

48 Also diey set fire on the city, and gat ma- 
ny spoils diHt diiy, * and delivered the king. » ver. <i 

49 So when they of the citj' saw that the Jews 
had got the city as they \\c)uld, dieir courage 
was abated: whcivfoie they made supplicati<Mi 
to die king, and cried, saying, 

50 II Grant us peace, a.id let the Jews cease lor. t. 
from assaulting us and tlu city. wiJi 

51 \\'ilh that they cast away their weapons, 
and made p^u^ce; and tlie Jews were honoured 
in die sigLt of die king, and in the sight of all 
that were in his realm ; and diey returned to 
Jenis.-i.lem, ""haxing great spoils. bVer. u. 

5i So king Demetrius sat on the throne of 
his kingdom, and the land was quiet Ix-foie him. 

53 Neveitlieless he dissembled in all Qiatever 
he spake, and estnuiged himself from Jonathan, 
iK;idier rewarded lie him according to the be- 
nefits which he had received of him, but tiou-

back and fxcd. 

56 Moreo\er, Tryphon took the f elephants, 
and won Antioch. 

57 At that time young Antiochus_ Avrote unto 
Jonathcp, saying, ^ I confirm thee in the liigh 
priesthood, and appoint thee ruler over the four 
governments, and to be one of the king's friends. 

58 Upon this he sent him golden vessels j to 
be served in, and gave him leave to drink in gold, 
and to be clothed ^ in purple, and to weai- a 
golden buckle. 

59 His brodier Simon also he made captain 
from the place called The ladder of Tyrus unto 
the borders of Kgjpt. 

60 Then Jonathan || v/ent forth and passed 
through the cities beyond the water, and all the 
forces of Syria gathered themsehes unto him lor 
to help him : and when he came to Ascalon, they 
of the city met him honourably. 

61 From whence he went to Gaza, but they 
of Gaza shut him out ; Avherefore he laid siege 
unto it, and burned || the suburbs diereof with 
fire, and spoiled them. 

62 After^^ard, when tliey of Gaza made siip- 
plication unto Jonathan, t ^^ made peace \\itli 
them, and took the sons of their chief men for 
hostages, and sent them to Jerusalem, and passed 
through the country unto Damascus. 

63 No\v' A\hen Jonatlian heaixl that Demetrius' 
princes were come to Cades, ^vllich is in Galilee, 
with a great po^^ er, pui"posing !| to remove him 
out of die countrj-, 

64 He W'Cnt to meet them, and left Simon his 
brodier in the countrj'. 

65 Then Simon encamped against ^Bethsura, 
and fought against it a long season, and shut it 

66 But they desii^ed to ha\e peace '\nth liim., 
\vhich he granted them, and then put them out 
fi-om thence, and took the city, and set a garrison 
in it. 

67 As for Jonathan and his host, they pitched 
at the water of Gennesar, from whence betimes 
in the morning they gat them to die plain of 
Nasor. - 

68 And, behold, the host of strangers met 
them in the plain, who having laid '' men in am- 
bush tor him in the mountains, came themselves 
OA^er against him. 

69 So -when they that lay in ambush rose out 
of their places, and joined battle, all that were of 
Jonadian's side fled ; 

70 Insomuch as there \^ as not one of them 
left, except Mattathias the san of Absalom, and 
Judas the so}i of Calphi, the captains of 'the 
host. 

71 Then Jonathan rent his clothes, and cast 
earth upon his head, "^ and prayed. 

72 AfterA\ards turning again to batde, he put 
them to flight, and so they ran away. 

73 Now when his own men that A\ere fled saw 
this, they turned again unto him, and a\ ith him 
pursued them to 'Cades, even unto their own 
tents, and there they camped. 



Romans gave them letters

CHAP. XII. 

1 Jonathan reneiveth his league with the Romans 
and Lacedemonians. 28 The forces of Demetrius , 
thinking to surprise Jpnathan, fee away for 
fear. 35 J onathanfortifieth the castle sin Judea^ 
48 and is shut up by th^ fraud of Tryphon in 
Ptolemais. 

NOW '\\hen Jonathan sa^^ that the time 
served him, he chose ceitain men, and 
sent them to Rome, ^ for to confiiTn and renew 
the fi-iendship that they had Avith them. 

2 He sent letters also to the Lacedemonians, 
and to other places, for the same purpose. 

3 So they went unto Rome, and entered into 
'' the senate, and said, Jonathan die high priest, 
and the people of the Jews", sent us unto you, to 
the end ye should renew the fiiendship ^ which 
ye had with them, and league, as in former 
time. 

4 Upon this the 
unto the governors 
should bring them 
peaceablj'. 

5 And this is the copy of the letters which Jo- 
nathan \\~XQ\& to the ^ Lacedem.onians : 

6 Jonathan the high priest, and the elders of 
the nation, and the priests, and the other people 
of the JcAi's, unto the Lacedemonians their bre- 
thren send greeting : 

7 There were letters sent in times past unto 
Onias the high priest from || Daiius, Avho reigned 
then among you, to signify that ye are our 
brethren, as the copy here undenvritten doth 
specify. 

8 At which time Onias entreated the ambassa- 
dor that v;as sent honourably, and received the 
letters, wherein declai'ation AA-as made of die 
jl league and fi iendship. 

9 Therefore Ave also, albeit Ave need none of 
these things, for diat Ave liaA'C the ^ holy books of 
scripture in our hands to comfort us, 

10 Have nCA^ertlieless attempted to send unto 
you ^for the reneA\ing of brotherhood and fi-ier.d- 
ship, lest Ave should become stt-angers unto you 
altogether : for there is a long time passed since 
ye sent unto us. 

11 We therefore at all times Avithout ceasing. 
both in our feasts, and other conAcnient days, dc/ 
remember you in the sacrifices Avhich A\"e offer, 
and in our prayers, as reason is, and as it be-

12 And Ave are right gkid of your honour. 

13 As for oursehes, aac have had great ti'ou-

16 For this cause wc chose Niimenius //7t' i'o;/ 
of Antiochiis, and Antipatcr the son of Jason, 
' and sent them unto the Romans, to renew the 
amity that \\e had \\ith them, and the former 
league. 

17 ^^'^e commanded them ''also to go unto 
you, and to salute you, and to deli\er you our 
letters concerning the renewing of our brother- 
hood. 

18 \\^herefore now ye sh:ill do well to gi^•e 
us an answer thereto. 

19 And this is the copy of the letters || which 
Oniares sent. 

20 Areus king of the Lacedemonijins to Onias 
the high priest, greeting: 

21 It is found in writing, that the Lacedemo- 
nians and Jews are ' brethren, and thiit they are of 
the stock of Abraham : 

22 Now, therefore, since this is come to our 
knoA\ledge, ye shall do well to write unto us of 
your t piosperit\'. 

23 We do write back again to you, "'that 
your catrle and gocxls are ours, and ours are 
\'Ours. We do conmiand therefore our ambassa- 
dors to make report unto you on this a\ ise. 

24 Now when Jonathan heard that Demetrius' 
princes A\cre come to fight against him with a 
greater host than afoie, 

25 He remo\ed from Jerusalem, and met 
them in the land of Amathis : for he gave them 
no respite || to enter his countiy. 

26 He sent spies aLso unto their tents, ^yho 
came again, and told him tliat they \\ ere appoint- 
ed to come upon them in the night season. 

27 Wherefore so soon as the sun \\as down, 
Jonathan commanded his men to watch, "and to 
be in arms, that all the night long they might be 
ready to fight ; also he sent forth centinels round 
about the host. 

28 But when the adversaries heard that Jona- 
than and his men A\tre ready for battle, they 
feared, and trembk d in their hejirts, and || they 
kind'.ed fires in their camp. 

29 HowI)cit, Jonatlian and his company knew 
it not till the morning: for diey s;iw the lights 
burning. 

30 Then Jonathan pursued after them, but 
OACrtook them not : for tliej' were gone o\er 
°the river Eleutlierus. 

3 1 Wherefore Jonathan turned to the Arabians, 
' who were culled f Zabadeans, and smote them, 

and took their spoils. 

32 And removing thence, he came to Damas- 
cus, and so passed through all the countn;. 

33 Simon also went fortii, and passed th-ough 
the countiy unto Ascalon, and the holds then 
adjoining, from whence he tunied aside to 
JopiX', ;\nd von it. 

31 For he had heard that they would deliver 
the hold mito them that look Demetrius' part ; 
whL-refore he set a garrison there to Jcec)) it. 

35 Afier this came Jonathan home again, and 
ealliiic^ •• the elders of the people to'^ether, he 
con iiltfd withlliem about b'iililin,q; strong hokb 
in Jud(.a,

36 And making the w^dls of Jerusalem higher, 
and raismg a great mount h^W cen i the tower 
and the^city, for to separate it from the citv, that 
so it might be alone, that men might iViiher 
sell nor buy in it. 

37 Upon tliis they came together to build 
up the city, || forasmuch as part of the \\-aIl to- 
ward the brook on die east side \-.as iiiUcn 
down, and they repaired that w hich was culled 
Caphenatha. 

38 Simon also set up Adida in Sepheki, and 
made it strong with gates aixl bars. 

39 Now ■■ Tryphon w ent about to get 'the 
kingdom of Asia, and to kill Antioduis tlie 
king, that he might set the crown upon his 
own head. 

40 Howbeit, he was afraid that Jonathan 
would not sufler him, and that he ^\ould fight 
against him ; Avherefore he sought a wav how 
to take Jonadian, tliat he might kill him.' So he 
removed and came to Bedisiui. 

41 Then Jonathan went out to meet him 
with forty thous;ind men chosen for the battle, 
and came to Bethsim. 

42 No\v w^hen Trjphon saw that Jonathan 
came with so great a force, he durst not stretcli

43 But received him honourably, *and com- 
niended him unto all his friends, and gave him 
gifts, and commiuided his men of w:u- lo be as 
obcxlient unto him as to himself. 

44 Unto Jonathan also he siiid. Why hast 
thou put all this people to so great trouble, 
seeing there is no war betwixt us .' 

45 Therefore send them now home ap,ain, 
and choose a fe^\■ men to wait on thee, and come 
tliou with me to Ptolemais, for I will give it 
thee, and the rest of the stiong holds and forces, 
and all that ha\e any charge : as for me, I will 
return and depart : for this is the cause of my 
coming. 

46 So Jonathan " believing him, did as he 
bade him, and sent away his host, \\\\o A\ent 
into the land of Judea. 

47 And \vith himself he retained but three 
thousand men, of whom he t sent two ihousiind 
into Galilee, and one thousand went with 
him. 

48 Now as soon as Jonathan entered into 
Ptolemais, they of Ptolemais sluit the gates, 
and took him ; and all them tliat came with 
him they slew \\ith the sword. 

49 Then sent Tnphon an host of fcotmen

53 Then ^ all the heathen that were round

1 > had gathered together a great host to in^■ade 
the land of Judea, and destroy it, 

2 And saw that the people '' ^\'as in great trem- 
bling and fear, he went up to Jerusalem, and 
gathered the people together, 

3 And ga\e them exhoitation, saying. Ye 
yourseh'es know what great things I, " and my 
brethren, and my father's house, have done for 
die laws and the sanctuary, the battles also and 
troubles which we have seen ; 

4 By reason whereof all my bretlii-en are slain 
lor Israel's sake, and I am left alone. 

5 Now therefore be it far from me, that ^ I 
should spare mine own life in any time of trou- 
ble : for I am no better than my brethren. 

6 Doubtless I \\\\\ a^'enge my nation, and the 
sanctuarj', and our A\"i\'es, iind our ehildi'cn : for 
all the heathen ai-e gathered to destroy us of ve- 
ry malice. 

7 No-w as soon as the people heard these words, 
their spirit revived. 

8 And they answered with a loud voice, say- 
ing, Thou shalt be our leader instead of Judas 
and Jonathan thy brother. 

9 Fight thou our battles, and wliatsoever thou 
commondest us, that will we do. 

10 So then he gathered together ^ill the men 
= cti.^p. 12. of war, and made haste " to finish the walls of 
■"" ^" Jerusalem, and he fortified it round about. 

11 Also he sent Jonathan the ^o;? of Absalom, 
apd \Aith him a great po\ver, to Joppe : \vho 
casting out them that were therein, remained 
there in it. 

12 So Tiyphon removed from Ptolemais with 
a great power to invade the land of Judea, and 
Jonathan '\\"as with him in ward. 

f Chap. 12. 13 But Simon pitched his tents at ^\dida,

14 NoM" \\hen Tr3-i:)hon knev\' that Simon

18 Who might have said, Because I sent hjm

nathan dead. 

19 So he sent them the childi-en and the husi- 
dred talents : hoAvbeit, Tryphon dissembled, 
neither Avould he let Jonathan go, 

20 And after this came Tiyphon to invade th.e 
land, and destroy it, going round about by the 
Avay that leadeth unto Adora : but Simon and 
his host marched against him in every place, 
wheresoCA'er he went. 

21 Now they that a-, ere in the ** to-.ver sent ^^^hap. u. 
messengers unto TrjiDhosi, to the end that he ""^ 
should hasten his coming unto them by the \\]\-

22 Wherefore Tryphon made rcadj^ all his 
horsemen to come that night : but there fell a 
very great snow, by reason whereof he came not. 
So lie depaited, aird came into the country of 
'Galaad. ich.p.i.«. 

23 And when he came near to Bascama, he 
slew Jonathan, who was buried there. 

24 Afterwai'd Tryphon returned and \vent in- 
to his own land. 

25 Then sent Simon, and took tlie bones of cir. nz. 
Jonathan his brodier, and buried them in ^ Mo- 
din, the city of his fathers. 

26 i\nd ^ all Israel made great lamentation for 
him, and bewailed him many daj's. 

27 Simon also built a monumerit upon the se- 
pulchre of his father and his brethren, and rais- 
ed it aloft to the sight, -wldi hewn stone, behind 
and before. 

28 Moreo-^'cr, he set up scAcn pyramids, one 
against another, for his fatlier, and his mother, 
and his four brethi^en. 

29 And in these he made cunning devices,

44 And tliey that were in the engine leaped

beseeching Simon t to gi'ant them iJeace. 

46 -And they said, Deal not with us according 
to our wickedness, but according to thy mercy. 

47 So Simon ^vas appeased towaid them, and 
fought no more against them, but put them out 
of the city, and cleansed the houses wherein the 
idols w ere, and so entered into it with songs and 
thanksgiving. 

48 Yea, he pirt all imcleanness out of it, and 
placed such men there as would keep the la\\-,

16 Lucius, consul of the Romans, unto king 
Ptolemee, gieeting : 

17 ' The Je^vs' ambassadors, our friends and ichap.i<. 
confedei-,\tes, came inito us to renew the old "' ** 
friendship and league, l^eing sent from Simon the 
high priest, and from the people of die Jews : 

18 And they brought *a shield of gold of akvi^^i^ 
thousand jjoinid. ^*' 

19 \Ve tliought it good therefore to write un- 
to the kuigs and cotmtries, diat they should do 
them no harm, nor fight against diem, their ci- 
ties, or countries, nor yet aid tlieir enemies 
against diem, 

20 It seemed also good to us to recei%e the 
shield of them. 

21 If therefore Uiere be any ' pestilent fellows, •^'"' ^ 
that have fled fi-oni their countiy unto you, deli- 
\'er diem unto Simon the high priest, that he may

and Cyrene. 

24 And •" the copy hereof dicy wrote to Si- ".^9''"'^

25 So Antiochus the king camped against Do- 
ra, the second day, t assiuilting it continually, ^.f;;,,,,^ , 
and making engines, Ijy which means he shut up/'*'"' '""• 
Tryphon, that h'.- could neidicr go out nor in. 

26 At tlvat time Simon sent him two thou-

gold, and muc h armour. 

27 Ne\ ertheless, he ^\ould not receive diem, 
" but brake all die eoAencuits which he had made 
with him afore, and became strange unto him. 

28 Furdiemiore lie sent unto him Atheno-

and say, Ye ° w ithhold Joppe and Gazara, w ith 
the tower tliat is in Jerusalem, \\hich ai^e cities

33 Then answered Simon, and said unto him, 
"■ We have neither taken other men's land, nor 
holden that which appertaineth to others, but the 
inheritance of our fathers, which our enemies 
had wrongfully in possession a certain time. 

34 Wherefore Ave, ha\ing opportunity, hold 
the inheritance of our fathers. 

2>5 And whereas thou demandest Joppe and 
Gaziira, albeit they did great haiTn unto the peo- 
ple in our country, yet will we gi\ e im hundred 
talents for them. Hereunto Athenobius ans-wer- 
ed him not a word ; 

36 But returned in a rage to the king, and 
made report unto him of ' these speeches, and of 
the glory of Simon, and of all that he had seen : 
whereupon the king A\as exceeding Avroth. 

37 In the mean time fled Trj-phon by ship un- 
to Orthosias. 

38 Then the king made Cendebeus captain of 
the sea-coast, and gave him an host of Ibotmen 
and horsemen, 

39 And ' commanded him to remoA^ehis host 
toward Judea : also he connnanded l)im to build 
up Cedron, and to fortify the gates, and to war 
against the people ; but as for the king himself, 
he pursued Tryphon. 

li See chap. 40 So Ccudebeus came to Jamnia, " and be- 
gan to provoke the people, and to invade Judea, 
and to take the people prisoners, and slay them. 
41 And when he had built up Cedron, he set 
horsemen there, and an host of footraen, to the 
end that issuing out they might make out-roads 
upon the ways of Judea, as the king liad com- 
manded him.

3 Judas and John prevail against the forces sent 
by Antiochns. 1 1 The captain of Jericho in- 
■vitcth Simon and t%vo of h/s sons into his cas- 
tle, and there treacherously murdereth tlienu 
19 John is soH'(ht for, 22 and escapeth, and 
killeth those that sought for him. 

THEN came up John from Gazara, and told 
Simon his lather ^ what Cendebeus had done, 

2 Wherefore Simeon called his two eldest sons, 
Judas and John, and said unto them, ^ I, and m}- 
brethren, and my father's house, have ever from 
our youth unto this day fought against the ene- 
mies of Israel ; and things have prospered so well 
in our hands, tl»at we have delivered Israel of- 
tentimes. 

3 But now I am old, and ye, by GocPs mercy, 
are of a sufficient age : be ye instead of me and 
my brother, and go and fight for our nation, and 
the help from heaven be \\ith you. 

4 So he chose out of the countiy twenty thou- 
sand men of war with horsemen, who went out a- 

: cfii.p.2. 1. gainst Cendebeus, and rested that night at ' Modin. 

5 And when as x\\^y rose in the morning, and 
went into the plain, behold, a mighty great host 
both of footmen and horsemen came against them : 
howbeit, there was a water-brook betwixt them. 

6 So he and his people pitched over against 
them : and when he saw that the people \Aere 
afraid to go over the water-brook, he v.ent first 
over himself, and then the men seeing him., pas- 
sed through after him. 



XVI. Apocrypha. 821 

7 That done, he divided his men, and set the cramT 
horsenien in the midst of thp footmen : for the "r.^y. 
enemies' horsemen M^'ere verj'' many. ' ^~~^ 

8 Then sounded thej^ with "^ the holy trum- dN.imh. 
pets : whereupon Cendebeus and his host u'ere "' ^' 
put to flight, so that many of them were slain, 

and the remnant gat them to the strong hold. 

9 At that time was Judas John's brother Avoimd- 
ed ; but John still followed after them, until he 
came to ' Cedron, which Cendebeus had built. <= chap. is. 

10 II So the)' fied even unto the towers in the ^^or, which 
fields of Azotus ; wherefore he burned it with Tiahnon 
fire : so that there were slain of them about t^vo fi'-'' '''«> 
thousand men. Afterward he retrnmed into the^™""1"' 
land of Judea in peace., _ I'^f"-^ 



11 Moreover, in the plain of Jericho was Pto- "iH''^',,, 
lemeus the son of Abubus made captain, and he «^^- 
had abundance of sii\er and gold ; 

12 For he was the high priest's son-iji-law. <=^''- 1^*. 

13 Wherefore his heait being lifted up, he 
thought to get the country to himself, and there- 
upon consulted ^ deceitfully against Simon and iq^'^'p- '• 
his sons to destroy them. 

14 No^^' Simon A\-as visiting the cities that were 
in the country, and taking care for the good or- 
dering; of thern ; at \A'hich time he came 6.o\ra 
himself to Jericho w^ith his sons Ivlattathias and 
Judas, in the hundi-ed tlireescore and se\'enteenth 
yeai-, in the eleventh month, called Sabat : 

15 V/here the son of Abubus receiving them 
deceitfully into a little hold called Docus, whicli 
he_ had built, made them a great biinquet : ho\\ - 
beit, he had hid men diere. 

16 So when Simon and his sons had drunk 
largely, Ptolemee and liis men rose up, ajid took 
their T\eapons, and came upon Simon into the 
banqueting place, and » sle\^^ him, and his tvv'o l,*^'^^/- '*• 
sons, and certain of his servants. 48.' ' '"^' 

17 In which doing he committed a great trea- 
chery, and recompensed e^■il for good. 

18 Then Ptolemee \\-rote these things, and 
sent to the king, that he should setid him an host 
to aid him, and he would deliver him the coun- 
try and cities. 

19 He sent others also to '' Gazara to kill*" ^^'-i- 
John : and unto the f tril^unes he sent letters to tcr. 
come unto liim, that he might gi\'e them silver, Intusand"/. 
and gold, and reA\"ards. 

20 And others he sent to take Jerusalem, and 
the mountain of tlie temple. 

21 Now ' one had run afore to Gazai^a, and i see Acts 
told John that his Hither and brethren M"ere slain, ^^' ^®' 
and, ciuoth he, Ptolemee hath sent to slay thee 
also. 

_ 22 Hereof when he heard, he A^as sore asto- 
nished : so he laie! hands on-them that were come 
to destroy him., and slew them ; for he kncAV 
that they sought to make him away. 

23 As concerning the rest of tlie acts of Jo!m, 
and his wai's, and Avorthy deeds Avhich he did, 
and the buikling of the A\"alls which he made, 
and his doings,

18 Therefore \'.hcrtas weai'e now punwsed to 
keep the purification of the temple upon die five 
and twentieth day of t/ie month ^ Ciisicu, v,e 
diouglit it necessaiy to certiiy you thenoi, 
tliai ye alsp might keep i/, as the feast of the 
tabernacles, and of die iire, whicii was g/'oen 
us when Neemias ofltred saci ifice, after tkit he 
liad builded tlie temple and the altar. 

19 For A\hcn oin- fathers were led into Persia, 
die priests thai were then devout took the fire 
of the altar pri\ily, and hid it in a ho!loA\- place 
of a pit widiout water, where tl:ey kept it sure, 
so that the place ^\•as unkno^\^l to all men, 

20 No\v alter numy j ears, when it pleased 
God, Neemias, ' being sent from the king of 
Peisia, did send of the ix)sterity of those priests 
tluit had h.id it, to the lire : but when they tokl 
us they lound no fire, but thick water; 

21 Then commanded he them to di"aw it up, 
and to bring it ; suid w hen the sacrifices \\ ere 
laid on, Neemias commanded the prie.sts to 
*" sprinkle die wood ajid the things laid there- 
ispen w ith die w ater. 

22 \\ hen diis was done, and the time came 
tliat die sun shone, a\ hich afore w as hid ki the 
cloud, diere w as a " great fire kindled, so that 
ever}- man mai^elled. 

23 And the priests made a prayer w hilst die 
sacrifice was consuming, I say, both the priests, 
and ^\the rest, Jonatluui beginning, and the rest 
answering thereunto, as Ne^eniias did. 

24 And the prayer A<as after Uiis manner; O 
Lord, Lord Ciod, ° Creator of iill things, who 
art teariul and strong, and righteous, and mer- 
ciful, and th.e only and gi^acious King, 

25 The only giver of all diings, the only just, 
almighty, iuid everlasting, thou that deliverest 
Israel from all tiouble, and didst choose Uie fe- 
tliers, anel sanctify them : 

26 Recei\edie sacrifice for thy wl;ole people 
Israel, and preserve thine own portion, and sanc- 
tiiy it. 

27 Gather those together diat are scattered 
fi"om us, deliver them that serve among the hea- 
tiien, look upon chem that are despised and ab- 
hoired, p and let the heathen know diat thou 
art our God. 

28 Punish them that oppress us, and w idi 
pride do us wrong. 

29 Plant thy people again in th.y holy place, 
as Moses hath sp<.'ken. 

30 And die priests sung psalms of thanks- 
giving. 

31 Now when die sacrifice was consumed, 
Neemias commanded the water that was left to 
be poured on the great stones. 

32 \\'htn this was done, diere was kindled 
a flame: but it was consumed by die light that 
shintd from the altar.

there appeared water, and that || Neemias had 

purified the sacrifices there^^ ith. 

34 Then the king, enclosing the place, made 
it ' holy, after he had tried the matter. 

35 And the king took many gifts, and be- 
stowed thereof on those -whom he would gratify. 

36 And Neemias called this thing Naphtliar, 
which is as much as to say, A cleansing : but 
many men call it Nephi. 

CHAP. II. 
1 What Jeremy the prophet did : 5 How he hid 
the tabernacle^ the ark, and the altar. 13 What 
Neemias and Judas wrote. 20 What Jason 
wrote in Jive books. 25 A?id how those were 
abridged by the author of this book. 

IT is ^Jso found in the records, that * Jeremy 
the prophet commanded them that were carri- 
ed auay to take of the fire, as it hath been signi- 
fied : 

2 And how that the prophet, having given 
them the law, charged them not to forget the 
commandments of the Lord, and that they 
should not err in their miiids, A\lien they see 
images of silver and gold, with their ornaments. 

3 And with otlier such speeches^ exhorted 
he them, that the law should not depart fi-om 
their hearts. 

4 It was also contained in the same writiiig, 
that the prophet, being warned of God, com- 
manded the tabernacle and the ark to go with 
him, as he went forth into the 'mountain, Avliere 
Moses climbed up, andsa>v the heritage of God. 

5 And when Jeremy c^mie thither, he found 
an hollow cave, wherein he laid the tabernacle, 
and the mk, and the altar of incense, and so 
stopped the door. 

6 And some of t?iose that followed him came 
to mark the wiij^, but they could not find it. 

7 Which when Jeremj' perct:i\^ed, he blamed 
tliem, saying, As for tliat ]>lace, it shall be un- 
known until the time that God gatlier his people 
again togetlier, and receive them unto mercy. 

8 Then shall the Lord shew them these things, 
and ^ the glorj- of the Lord skdl appear, and the 
cloud also, as it was shev/ed unto Moses, and as 
when Solonion desired that the place might be 
honourably sanctified. 

9 It was also declared, that he' being wise 
offered the sacrifice of dedication, and of the 
finishing of the temple. 

10 And as v\"hen Moses prayed unto the Lord, 
' the fire came down from heaven, and consum- 
ed the sacrifices r even so prayed Solomoii also, 
and ^ tlie fire came down from hea\'en,. and con- 
sumed the burnt-olFerings. 

11 And Moses said, Because the sin-offering 
was not to be eaten, it was consumed. 

12 So Solomon kept those eight days. 

13 The same things also uere reported in the 
^vritingsand commentimes of Neemiris ,- and how 
he, founding a library ,^ gathered together the acts 
of the kings, and the prophets, and of Da\'id, 
and the epistles of the kings concerning the holy 
gifts. 

14 In like manner also « Judas gathered to-

gether all these things that were lost by reason of 
the war we had, and they remain \\ith us. 

15 Whererbre if ye have need thereof, send 
some to fetch them unto you. 

16 Whereas we then are about to celebrate 

^ the purification, we have written rmto you, and ^g^''*?- '• 
ye shall do well, if ye keep the same days. 

17 t We hope also, that the God, tiiat deliv- J^^"/^^"'-" 
ered all his people, and gave them all an heri- tLtJlvei 
tage, and the kingdom, and the priesthood, and "pu^aJ"' 
tl^e sanctuarj^ _ _ ^A?t;^ 

18 As he promised in the law, will shortly ',^%^"f 
have mercy upon us, and gather us together out ^^^'p"^^ 
of every land under heaven into the holy place : )kX"^' 
for he hath delivered us ottt of great troubles, %!aTh^' 
and hatli purified die place. Th^lZ^!" 

19 Now as concerning Judas Maccabeus, and-/"'^'';?'5'"^« 

, . , j1 ,1 ?„ . ,^1 m Gad that 

his breti"a-en, ano tne punfication oi the great tem- f^ ■^•" 
pie, and tlie dedication of the altar, shartiy.ir.. 

20 And the wai's against • Antiochus Epiplia- ' * ^^^' ^■ 
nes, and ^ Eupator his son, kiMac.e. 

2 1 And tiie manifest signs that came from hea- '^• 
ven unto those that behaved themselves manful- 
ly to tlieir honour for Judaism : so that, being 
but a fe^v, thej^ overcame the whole country, and 
chased barbaious multitudes, 

22 And recovered again tlie temple renownied 
all the A\"orld over, and freed the cit^-, and upheld 
the laws which ^\^ere going dov.n, the Lord be- 
ing gi-aciotis unto diem with all favour : 

23 jill these things, I say, being declared by 
Jason of ' Cyrene in five books, we mtII assay to 'Acts 2. jo. 
abridge in one volume. 

24 For considering the infinite number, and 
the difficulty v.hich they find that desire to look 
into the narrations of the stoiy , for the variety of 
the matter, 

25 We have been careful, that they tliat Avill 
read might have delight, and that they diatai-e de- 
sirous to commit to memoiy might have ease, 

and diat ™ all into whose hands it comes m.ight m 2 co^. 
have profit. . "• ''^'" 

26 Therefore to us, that have taken upon us 
this painful labour of abridging, it -vvas not easy, 
but a matter of s\\"eat and >\atcbii!ig ; 

27 Kven as it is no ease unto him that pre-

Others 

imdertake gladly this great pains ; 

28 Leaving to the auttior the exact handling of 
CAer^' particular, and labouring to follow the rules 
of an abridgment. 

29 For as the " master-builder of a new house 
must care for the \vhole building ; but he that 
undertaketJi to set it our, and paint it, must seek 
out fit things for the adorning tliereof : even so 
I think it is ■with us. 

30 To stand upon every point, and go o^'er 
things at large, and to be curious in paniculai-s, 
belongeth to the first author, of the story. 

3 1_ But to tise brevity, and a^'oid much la- 
bouring of the Avork, is to be granted to him that 
will make an abridgment., 

32 Here then will we begin " the story : only va. u.

1 Of the honour (louc to the tcinfJc by the kings qf\ 
the Gentiles. A- Simvii titteret/i iv hat treasures \ 
are in the temple. 7 Ileliodonts is sent to take 
them aivay : 21 He is stricken of God, andlicol- 
ed at the prayer of Onias. 

OW w 1k)i " the holy city was inhabited 
with iJl peace, ar.cl the laws were kept 
vcr\" \\ cU, beauise of" the gocUiixss of Oniiis the 
high priest, and his haucd of wickedness, 
^•p«;T2.io. -l It came lo p.iss that evLU ''the kings tliem- 
sehes did honou.- the place, and magnify the 
temple w ith their best gifts ; 

3 Insomuch that Seleucus '^ king of Asia, of 
his ow n revenues bare all the costs belonging to 
the senice of the sacrilices. 

4 But one Simon of the tribe of Benjamin, 
\\\\o was made go\ ernor of the temple, fell out 
A\ith the high pnest about disorder in the city. 

5 And when he could not overconu" Oni- 
as, he gat him to Apolhrnius the son of Thra- 
sciis, who then \\as goAxnior of Celosjria iuici 
Plunice, 

6 And told him that ** the treasury in Jerusalem 
was full of infinite sums of money, so that the 
nuiltitude of tluir riches, which did not pertain 
to the account of the sacrifices, was innumer- 
able, and that it was possible to bring all into tlic 
king's hiuid. .^ 

7 Now when Apollomus came to the king, 
and had she^v ed him of the money whcieof he 
was told, the king chose out Heliodorus his 
iix-'asurer, luid sent him with a commandment to 
bring him th.e aforesaid money. 

8 So forthwith Heliodorus look his jouir.ey, 
under a colour of visiting the cities of Celosyria 
and Phenice, but indeed to fulfil the king's 
pmpose. 

9 And when lie was come to Jenisalem, and 
hi'.d been courteously received "^ of tlie high priest 
of tlie city, he tcid him A\hat inttlligerce was 
gi\en of tlie monkey, ar.d declaied w hcrefbre he 
came, and asked if th.ese things were so indc^'d. 

10 Then ilie high priest told him that there 
was such monc>- hid up for tlie relief of wi- 
tlows and fatherless chi'drcn : 

1 1 And that some of it belonged to Hircanus 
son of 'l\-bias, a man of givai digiiit)-, and not 
as that '"wicled SinK^n h;:d niisini( imed : the 
sum whereof in iill was four hundred talents of 
siKer, and two hundied of gold : 

12 And that it was altogether impossible that 
such wrongs sliould be done unto them, that 

Ku.'iad committed it to the « holiness of the place, 
and to the majesty and in\iolable sanctity of the 
temple, hor.oured" over all the woild. 

];> But Heliodems, ''beeanse < f tlie king's 
( ommandment given him, said. That in any w ise 
it must be brought into llie king's trea^uiy. 

14 So at the eby which he api^ointed, he en- 
tered iw to order this matter: >'.lKrefoie there 
wjus no small iigory thioughout the whole cit}'.

20 And a.ll '" holeling their hands towards liea- "^ > •'"•b^

21 Then it would liavc pitied a man to see

and th.e f f<-"^ of the high priest, being in such t cr. «-

22 " TliCy then called upon the Almighty Lord " p»>«« 
to keep the things committed of trust sale and

23 Nevertheless, Heliodtin!- executed that 
^\•hich was decreed. 

24 Now as he was lhe:e pn -^iit himself with

trouble, Avhen the Almighty Lord apperured, 
filled with joy and gladness. 

3 1 Then straightv.'ays certain of Hellodorus' 
friends 'pi-iiyed Onias, that he would call upon the 
Most High, to grant him his life, v>-ho lay ready 
to give up the ghost. 

32 So the high priest, suspecting lest the king 
should miscoiicei\e that some treachery- had been 
done to Heliodorus by the Jews, offered a sacri- 
fice for the health, of the man. 

33 Now as the high priest was malving an 
atonement, ' the same young men . in the same 
clothing appeai-ed and stood beside Heliodorus, 
saj"ing, Gi-^e Onias the high priest great thanks, 
insomuch as for his sake the Lord hath granted 
thee life : 

34 And seeing that tho\t hast been scourged 
from heaven, declare unto all men the mighty 
power of God. And ' v.hen they had spoken these 
^\"ords, they appeared no more. 

35 So Heliodorus , after he had offered sacrifice 
unto the Lord, and made great vovvs unto him 
that had saved his life, and saluted Onias, "^ return- 
ed M'ith his host to the king. 

36 Then testified he to all men the works 
of the great God., which he had seen \\ith his 
ejes. 

57 And when tlie king asked Heliodorus, who 
might be a fit man to be sent.yet once again to 
Jerusalem, he said, 

38 If thou hast any enemy or traitor, send 
1 ver. i6. hjjy^ thither, and thou shalt receive him * well 

scourged, if he escape with his life : for in that 
place, no doubt, there is an especial power of 
God. 

39 For he that dw^lleth in heaven ''hath his 
ej-e on that place, and defendeth it ; and he beat- 
eth and destroyeth them that come to hurt it. 

40 And the things concerning Heliodorus, 
and the keeping of the treasuiy, fell out on this 
sort. 

CHAP. IV.

his counti^^men, "but seeking the good of all, 
both publick and private : 

6 For he saw that it ^vas impossible diat tlie , .„ 
state should continue quiet, and bmion leave nis 4. ■^• 
folly, unless the king did look thereunto. 

7 But after the death of Seleucus, when ^ An- \ 
tiochus, called Epiphanes, took the kingdom, 
Jason the brother of Onias laboured underhand 
to be high priest, 

8 Promising unto the king by iritercession 
three hundred and threescore talents of sih-er. 
and of another revenue eighty talents : 

9 Beside this, he promised to assigm aji hun- 
di-ed and fifty more, if he might have licence to 
set him up a ''place for exercise, and forthetiain- 1 1 .\rac. ~. 
ing up of youth in die fashions of die heathen, "' " 
and to write them of Jerusalem by the name of 
Antiochians. 

10 Which when die king had granted, and 
he had gotten into his' hand the rule, he fortii- 
\\ith brought his own nation to the Greekish 
fashion. 

11 And the royal privileges granted of special 
favour to the Jews by the means of ^ John the fa- % i Mac, t. 
ther of Eupolemus, who went ambassador to ^^' 
Rome for amity and aid, he took awaj^ ; and put- 
ting do\\Ti the government? which were accord- 
ing to the lavv', he brought up new customs 
against the law^ : 

12 For he built gladly ''a place of exercise ^ ver. ». 
under the tower itself, and brought the chief 
young men under his subjection, and made them 
wear a hat. 

13 Now such was tlie height of Greek fashions, 
and increase ofheathenish manners, through the 
exceeding profaneness of Jason, that ungodly 
v.TCtch, and no high priest ; 

14 That the priests had no courage to serAc 
any more at the altar, but despising the temple, 
and neglecting die sacrifices, hastened to be par- 
takers of the unlawful allowance in the place of 
exercise, after the game of || Discus called them 
forth ;

A\ as appointed to Hercules' sacrifice ; but be- 
cause of the liearers thereof, it was employed to 
the making of galHes. 

2 1 iNow when '" Apollonius the son of Menes- 
theus wiis .sent into Eg\pt for the || coronation of 
k\\\^ PtoU'm(.iisV\\\\oxnc\.(y:, Antiochus, under- 
standing liini not to Ix^ \\ell affected to his af- 
luirs, pro\ided for his o\\ni safety- : \\hereupon 
he c:imc to "Joppe, and from thence to Jeni- 
salem : 

22 \\''liere he was honourably received of 
Jason, and of the city, and was brought in with 
torch light, and with great shoutings: and so 
afterward went witli his host unto Phenice. 

23 Three years after\vaj-d Jason sent Mene- 
laus, the aforesaid Simon's brothei", to Ixrar the 
money unto the king, and to put him in mind of 
ceitain necessary' matters. 

24 But he being brought to the presence of the 
king, when he had magnified him for the glorious 
appciu^ance of his po\\er, got tlie priesthood to 
himself, " offering more dian Jason by three hun- 
dred talents of siher. 

25 So he came \vidi the king's mandate, 
bringing p nodiing woithy the high priesthood, 
but liiuing the fuiy of a cruel tyrant, and the 
rage of a su\;ige beast. 

26 Then Jason, who had undermined his own 
brother, being undermined by anodier, ^\■as 
comix^llcd to flee into the country of die Am- 
monites. 

27 So Mcnelaus got the i^incipality : *> but as 
f«)r the money that he had promi.sed unto die 
king, he took no good order for it, albeit Sos- 
tratus the ruler of the castle required it : 

28 For imto him appertained the gathering of 
die customs. Wherefore they were both called 
liefoie the king. 

29 Now Menclaus left his broUier Lysima- 
chus in his stead in the priesthood; and Sos- 
tratus I'^'t Crates, who was governor of the 
' Cyprians. 

30 While those diings w;ere in doing, they of 
' Tarsus and Mallos made insurrection, because 
they were giveri to die king's concubine called 
Antiochis. 

31 Then came the king in all haste to appcasc' 
matters, lea\ ing Andionieus, a man in autliority, 
for his deputy. 

32 Now Mendaus, supposing that he had 
gotten a convenient time, stole certain vessels of 
gold out of the temple, and gave some of them to 
Andronicus, and some he sold into 'J\ i us and 
the cities round about. 

33 Which when Onias knew of a surety, ' he 
reproved him, and withdrew himself into a sane- 
tuaiT at Daphne, that lieth by Antiochin. 

34 Wherefore Menclaus, taking Andronicus 
apart, i^rayed him to get Onias into his hands ; 
who being persuaded thereunto, and coming to 
Onias " in deceit, gave him his right hand w ith 
oaths ; and diough he were suspected bi/ Iiim, 
yet persuadexl he him to come f(Mth of the sanc- 
tuaiy : v\ hom foithwidi he shut up v\ iUiout regai d

35 For the which cause not only the Jews, but 
many also of other nations, tookgrciit indignation, 
and were much giicved for the unjust murder of 
the man. 

35 And v\lien the king was come again from 
the places about ^ Cilicia, the Jews that were in x ach 
die city, and certain of the- Greeks tliat abhorred "' *' 
the fact also, complabied because Onias was slain 
without cause. 

37 Therefore Antiochus vras heartily sorry, 
and moved to pity% and wept, because of the 
sober and modest beliaviour of liim that was 
dead. 

38 And being kindled vvith anger, forth- 
with he took away Andionieus his ''purple, 
and rent off his clothes, and leadbig him through 
the ^^hoIe city^ imto that veiy place where 
he had committed impiety against Onias, there 
slew he the cursed murderer. Thus the Lord 
rewaided him his punishment, as he had de- 
serv-ed. 

39 Now when many sacrileges had been com- 
mitted in the city- by * Lysimaclius with the 
consent of * Mcnelaus, imd the bmit thereof was"'^«' " 
spread abroad, die multituele gathered themselves 
together against Lysimaclius, many \css<;ls of 
gold being already canied aw ay. 

40 Whereupon die common people rising, 
and being filled with rage, Lysimaclius iunned 
about three thousiind men, and began first to offer 
violence ; one || Aui-anus Ijeing the leader, a man 
far gone in yeai-s, anel no less in folly. 

41 They then seeing the attempt of Lysima- 
chus, some of them caught stones, some clubs, 
othei-s taking handfuls of elust, thit was next at 
hand, ciist them all together upon Lysimachus, 
and those that set upon them. 

42 Thus many of them they- wx^unded, and 
some thcy^ struck to the ground, luiel iill of them 
they forced to fice : but as for die ''church- 
robber himself, him they killed beside die 
treasury. 

43 Of diese matters dicrefore diere was an ac- 
cusation laid against Menclaus. 

44 Now when die king came to ' Tyrus, 
three men that were sent fi om the senate pleaded 
die cause before him : 

45 But Menclaus being now convictexl, pro- 
mised '' Ptolcmec the son of Don menes, to give 
him much money, if he would pacify the king 
tov\ard him. 

46 Whereupon Plolemce taking die king 
aside into a cert.iiii j:ailery, as it were to 
take die air, brought him ro be of iinothcr 
mind : 

47 Insomuch that he di.sehaigcd Menelaus 
from the accus;itions, who notwiilistanding was 
cause of all the mischief : and ■■ those poor 
men, who, if diey had told their cause, yea, 
before the Scythians, should hue been judged 
innocent, them he condemned to death. 

48 Thus diey that folleiwed the matter for the 
city, and for die iKople, and for the holy vessels, 
did soon suffer unjust punishment.

2 Of the signs and tokens seen in Jerusalem. 6 Of 
the end and vjickedness of Jason. 11 The pursuit 
of Antiochus against the Jexvs. 15 The spoil- 
ing of the temple. 27 Maccabeus fieeth into 
the Hvilderncss. 

ABOUT the same time Antiochus prepared 
his second voyage into Egj'pt '• 

2 And then it happened, that tlirough all the 
city, for the space almost of forty d[ays_ * there 
\\-ere seen horsemen mnning in the air, in cloth | 
of gold, and anned with lances, like a band of | 
soldiers, 

3 And troops of horsemen in an^ay , encoun- 
tering and running one against another, with 
shaking of shields, and multitude of || pikes, and 
drawing of swords, and casting of darts, and 
glittering of golden ornaments, imd harness of 
all soils. 

4 Wherefore every man prayed that that 
''apparition might turn to good. 

5 Now when there was gone forth a false ru- 
mour, as though Antiochus had been dead, 
•^ Jason took at the least a thousand rnen, and 
suddenly made an assault upon the city ; and 
they tliat were upon, the walls being put back, 
and the city at length taken, Menelaus fled into 
the castle : 

6 But Jason slew his own citizens without 
mercy, not considering that to get the day of 
them of his ov.n nation would be a most unhappy 
diiy for him ; but thinking they had been his 
enemies, and not his countrymen, whom he con- 
quered. 

7 Howbeit, for all this he obtained not "^the 
principality, but at the last received shame for 
the reward of his treason, and fled ^ again into the 
country of the Ammonites. 

8 In the end therefore he had an unhappy 
retum, being accused before Aretas the king of 
the Arabians, fleeing from city to city, pursued of 
all men, hated as a forsaker of the laws, and being 
had in abomination as an open || enemy of his 
country and comiti-ymen, he ^vas cast out into 
Egypt. _ I 

9 Thus he that had diiven many out of their ; 
country perished in a sti-ange land, retiiing to i 
^the Lacedemonians, and tliinking there to find 
succour by reason of his kindred : 

10 And he that had cast out many unburied 
had none to mourn for him, nor any solemn 
funerals at all, nor sepulclire with his fathers. 

1 1 Now when this tliat was done came to the 
king's ear, he thought that Judea hrd revolted : 
whereupon ^ removing out of Egypt in a furious 
mind, he took the city by force of arms, 

IP And comm.anded his men of v\ar not to 
spare such as they met, and to slay such as ^vent 
up upon the houses.

13 '' Thus there was killing of j^oung and old, 
making away of men, women, and childi'en, slay- 
ing of virgins and infants. _ _ hSeeEzek. 

14 And there ^\"ere destroyed A\-ithin the space «.~^5, e. 
of three \A-hoIe days fourscore thousand, whereof 
forty thousand \Aere slain in the conflict ; and no 
fewer sold than slain. 

15 Yet was he not content with this, but^ 
presumed to go into the most holy temple 
all the world ; Menelaus, that ^ ti-aitor to 
laws, and to his cnvTi country-, being his 
guide : 

16 And taking the holy vessels with polluted 
hands, and with profane hands pulling down the 
things that were dedicated by other kings to tlie 
augmentation and glorj^ and "honour of the place, 
he gave them away. 

17 And so haughty was Antiochus in mind, 
that he considered not that the Lord was angry 
for a while for the sins of them tl"iat dwelt in the 
city, and therefore his eye was not upon the 
place. 

18 For had they not been formerly wrapped 
in many siirs, this man, as soon as he had come, 
had forthwith been_ scourged, arid put back 
firom his presumption, ''as Heliodorus was, ^ c>ap- 
whom Seleucus the king sent to view the 
treasury. 

19 Nevertheless God did not choose the 
people for the place's sake, but the place for the 
people's sake. 

20 And therefore the place itself, that Avas 
partaker w'lih them of the adversitj^ that happen- 
ed to the nation, did afterward communicate in 
the benefits sent fi-om the Lord : and as it was 
forsaken in the MTath of the Almight\% so again, 
the great Lord being reconciled, it was set up 
with cill gloiy. 

21 So A\'hen Antiochus had carried out of the 
temple a thousand' and eight hundred talents, he 
departed in all haste imto Antiochia, weening ' in 
his pride to make the land navigable, and the sea

CHAP. M. 
I The 'J c\\:s arc compelled to lea'ce the laiv of God. 
4 The temple is dtjiled. 8 Cruelty upon the peo- 
ple and the ivomen. 12 An exhortation to bear 
affliction., by the example of the valiant courage 
of Elcazar, cruelly tortured. 

NOT long- after this the king sent iin old miui 
of It Athens to compel tlie Jews to depiut 
from the law s of their fathers, and not to live alter 
the laws of God : 

2 And *to pollute also the temple in Jeaisa- 
lem, and to call it the temple of Jupiter Olym- 
pius ; and that in Gaiizim, of Jupiter the Defen- 
der of fctrangcrs, || as they did desire that dwelt in 
the place. 

3 The coming in of this mischief was sore 
and grie\ ous to the people : 

4 For ^ the temple was filled \\itli liot and re- 
velling by the Gentiles, who dallied w ith hwlots, 
and had to do ^vith women witliin the circuit of 
ihe holy places, and besides that brought in 
things that Avere not la^\■ful. 

5 The altar also was filled with profane things, 
which the law forbiddcth. 

6 Neither was it lawful for a man to keep sab- 
bath-days or ancient feasts, '^ or to profess him- 
self at all to be a Jew . 

7 -\nd in the day of the king's biiili, e\e- 
rj- ntonth the\- were brought b>' bitter con- 
straint to eat of the sacrifices ; and when the 
laist of Bacchus was kept, tlic Jews \\ere 
compelled to go in procession" to Bacchus, ciir- 
n,irig ivy. 

8 Moreover, there went out a decree to the 
neighbour cities of the t heathen, by tlie sugges- 
tion of Ptolemee, against tlie Jews, thi:t thc\- 
sliould obser\e •* the same fa^shions, and Ije piu*- 
takers of their sacrifices. 

9 And whoso would not conform themsehes 
to the manners of the Gentiles should be put to 
dciith. Then might a miui have seen the present 
misery. 

10 For there were two women brought, 'who 
had circumcised their children ; w hom wlx n they 
iiad openly led lound about tlie city, the Ixibes 
hanging at their breasts, tliey cast thtm down 
headlong fiom the wall. 

11 And oihei-s, that had nm together into 
•^ caves nciir by, to keep the sablxith-cby secretly, 
being discovered to Philip, were all bunit to- 
gether, because they made a conscience to help 
themseh cs for the honour of the most sacred 
day. 

12 Now I beseech those that read this book, 
tliat they be not discouraged for these calamities, 
butthat the>- judge those punishments not to be for 

"" destixiction, but for « a chastening of our nation.

14 For not as witli other nations, whom the 
Lord patiendj- forbearedi to punish, till they be 
come to the I'ulness of their sins, so dealeth lie 
with us, 

15 Lest that, being come to the height of

16 And therefore ' he ne\er withdi-aA\ eth

with ad\ei-sity, yet doth he ne\er forsake his 
people. 

1 7 But let this diat we ha\e spoken be for a cir. le: 
warning inito us. And now Avill \\q come to the 
declai-iiig of the matter in few words. 

18 Ele;izar, one of the principal scribes, an 
aged man, and of a well-ik\oured countenance, 

w as oonstrained to oi>en his mouth, and ' to eat kin. 65 .. 
swine's flesh. - - •- 

19 But he, choosing rather to die gloriously, 
than to live stained with such an abominatioii, 
spit it forth, and came of • his o\\n accord to the 
torment, 

20 As it behoved them to come, that are reso- 
lute to stand out against such things, as are not 
lawful for love of life to be tiisted. 

21 But diey that had the chai-ge of that wicked 
feast, for the old acquaintiuice they liad widi die 
man, taking him aside, besought him to bring 
flesh of his owii pro\ision, such as \\as lawful for 
him to use, and make as if lie did eat of die flesh 
taken from the saci'ifice commanded by the 
king ; ^ . . 

22 That in so doing lie might be deli\ered 
from death, and for the old friendship w ith diem 
find fa\our. 

23 But he began to consider discreetly, and as 
became his age, and the excellency of liis ancient 
years, and the honoiu- of his gray head, \\herc- 
unto he was come, and his most honest educa- 
tion from a child, or rather the holy la\\- made 

and gi\ en by God : " therefore he ajiswered m Luke 
accordingly, and w illed diem straightvrays to liv' n 
send him to the grave. "• 

|j 24 For it becomcth not our age, said he, in 
I any wise " to dissemble, whereljy many young n cai 
'; pei-sons might think that Kleazar, being fourscore '• * 
j-ears old and ten, w ere now gone to a strange

25 And so they, dirongh mine hypocrisy,

should I not escape the hand of the Almightj-,

he had said these words, immediately he ^^•ent 
, to the torment ; 

29 They that led him changing the good will 
tliey bare him a little before into hatred, because 
the aforesaid speeches proceeded, as they thought, 
from II a desperate mind. 

30 But when he was ready to die with stripes, 
he groaned, and said, It is manifest unto the 
Lord, that hath the holy knov/ledge, that whereas 
I might have been delivered from death, I no%v 
endure sore pains in body by being beaten ; but 
■" in soul am well content to suffer these tilings, 
because I fear him . 

31 And 'thus this man died, leaving his 
death for an example of a noble courage, and 
a mem.orial of virtue, not only unto young men, 
but unto all his nation. 

CHAP. VII. 
T/ie constancy and cruel death of seven brethren 
and their mother in one day, because they 
would not eat swine'' s j'?esh at the king''s com- 
manchnent. 

IT came to pass also, that seven brethren with 
their mother were taken, and compelled by the 
king against the law to ^ taste s\i'ine's flesh, and 
were tormented \vith scourges and whips. 

2 But one of tliem that spake first said thus, 
What wouldest thou ask or leani of us ? ^ we 
ai-e readj' to die ratb.er than to transgress the 
laws of our fathers. 

3 Then " the king, being in a I'age, com- 
manded pans and caldrons to be made hot : 

4 Which fcithwith being heated, he com- 
manded to cut out the tongue of him tliat spake 
first, and to cut off the utmost parts of his body, 
the rest of- his bretliren and his mother look- 
ing on. 

5 Now when he was thus maimed in all his 
mem.bers, he commanded him, being yet alive, 
to be brought to the fire, and to be fried in the 
pan: and as the vapour of the pan was for a 
good space dispersed, they exhorted one another 
with the mother, to die manfully, saying thus, 

6 The Lord God looketh upon us, and in 
truth hath comfort in us, as ''Moses in his song, 
which vdtnessed to their faces, declared, saying, 
And he shall be comforted in his sei'vants. 

7 So -when the £rst was dead after this man- 
ner, they brought the second to make him ^a 
mocking-stock : and A\hen they had pulled off 
the skin of his head ^vith the hair, they asked 
him. Wilt thou eat, l:)efore thou be punished 
throughout eveiy member of tliy body 1 

8 But he answered in his own language, and 
said, No. Wherefore he also received the next 
tonnent in order, as the fonner did. 

9 And v/hen he uas at the last ^asp, he said, 
Thou like a fury takest us cut of this present 
life, but the King of the v/oi'ld 'shall raise us up, 
v/ho have died for his lavv's, unto everlasting life. 

10 After him was the third made ^a mock- 
ing-stock: and -when he was required, he put 
out his tongue, and that right soon, holding forth 
his hands manfuUy,

11 And said coxirageously, These I had from chr°st 
heaven ; and for his laws I despise them ; and ^^^^^ 
from him ^ I hope to receive tliem again. i^ j^^ 

12 Insomuch that the king, and tliey that w- 26. 
were v/ith him, mar^^elled at tlie young man's 
courage, for that he nothing regarded the 
pains. 

13 Now %\'hen tliis man ^vas dead also, tliey 
tormented and " mangled the fourth in like man- ; vtr - 
ner. 

14 So when he was ready to die, he said 
thus, It is good, being put to death by men, to 
look for hope from God to be raised up again 
by him : as for thee, thou shalt ha\'e no resur- 
rection to life. 

15 Aftei-\vai-d they brought the fifdi also, and 
mangled him. 

16 Then looked he unto the king, and said, 
Thou hast power o\er men, thou art corrupti- 
ble, thou doest what thou wilt; yet think not 
* that our nation is forsaken of God ; 

17 But abide a while, and behold his great 
power, ho^v he vvill torment thee and tliy seed. 

18 After him also they brought the sixth, 
who, being ready to die, said, 'Be not deceived 
without cause : for v»-e suffer these things for 
ourselves, ha\'ing sinned against our God : there- 
fore marvellous tilings are done unto us. 

19 But think not thou, that takest in hand to 
"" strive against God, that thou shalt escape un- 
punished. 

20 But the mother was m.ar\^ellous above all, 
and worthy of honourable memon,' : for when 
she saAV her seven sons slain within the space of 

one day, she bare it "with a good courage, be- ups.sim, 
cause of the hope that she had in the Lord. 

2]. Yea, she exhorted every one of them in her 
own language, filled with courageous spirits ; and 
stirring up her A^'omanish thoughts v.ith a manly 
stomach, she said unto them, 

22 ° I camiot tell how ye came into my womb ; 
for I neither ga^■e you breath nor life, neither was 
it I that formed the members of every one of 
you; 

23 But doubtless the Creator of the world, who 
formed the generation of man, and found out 
the beginning of all things, ^ will also of his 
own mercy give you breath and life again, as 
ye now regard not your ownsclves for his laws' 
sake. 

24 NoAV Antiochus, thinking himself despised, 
and suspecting it to be a reproachful speech, 
whilst the youngest ^as 3'et alive, did not only 
exhort him by words, but also assured him w'lih 
oaths, that he would make him both a rich and 
a happy man, if he "J uould turn from tb.e laws of 
his fathers ; and tliat also he would take him. for 
his friend, and trust him with affairs. 

25 But \\-hen the young man v^'ould in no case 
heai"ken unto him, the king called his mother, 
and exhorted her that she would counsel the 
young man to save his life. 

26 And when he had exhorted her with many 
words, she promised him that she would counsel 
her son.

27 But she l)0\vinglicrst-lf to\\;iixl liini, laugh- 
ing ''the cruel tyrant to scorn, spake in her coun- 
try language on this mannei- ; O my son, have 
pil\' upon me that bare thee nine months in my 
^yomb, and gaA-e thee suck three yeiirs, and nou- 
rished thee, and brought tliee up unto this age, 
luid endured the troubles of education. 

28 I beseech thee, mj son, look upon tlie hea- 
ven and the earth, and all that is therein, ' and con- 
sider that God made them of things that wtvQ 
not ; and so was mankind made likewise. 

29 Fear not this tormentor, but, being worthy 
of thy bretliien, take thy death, that I may re- 
eei\ e dice again in mercy m ith th> bretlnvn. 

30 While she A\as yet speaking these \\ords, 
the young man said, \Vhom T\ait ye for? I \\\\\ 
not obey the king's commandment : ' but I will 
obey the commandment of the Ian diat u as given 
unto our fathers by Moses. 

3 1 And thou tb.at liast been the author of all 
mischief iigainst the HebrcANS, shalt not escaix; the 
hands of God. 

32 For we suffer because of our sins, 

33 And though the li^•ing Lord be angry with 
lis a little while for our chastening and correc- 
tion, " yet shall he be at one again ^vith his ser- 
^•ants. 

. 34 But thou, O godless man, and of all other 
mo.'it nicked, I)C not lifted up without a cause, 
nor puffed up with uncertain hopes, "Uftingup 
thy hand iig^inst the senants of God: 

35 For thou hjist not yet escaped die judgment 
of Almighty God, nho seeth all things. 

36 For our brethren \\ho no^\" ha\e suffered a 
short paiii, ai'c dead unto God's co\enant of 
e\c rlasting life : but thou through the judgment of 
God, shalt receive just punishment for thy pride. 

37 But I, as my brethren, ^ offer up my Ixxly 
and life for the lans of our fathers^ beseeching God 
tliat he would speedily be merciful unto our na- 
tion; and that thou by torments and plagues 
mayest confess, that he alone is God ; 

38 And that in me and my brethren the wrath 
of the Almighty, which is justly brought upon 
all our nation, may cease. 

39 Then the king, ^ Ix^ing in a rage, handled 
him \\orse than all the rest, and took it griev- 
ously thiit he w as mocked. 

40 So this miui died undefiled, and put his 
whole tnist in the Lord.

unto them all such as continued in the Jews' 
religion, and assembled alx)ut six thousiuid 
men. 

2 And they '' called upon the Lord, that ho 
would look upon the people that A\as trodden 
dow n of all ; and also pity the temple profai.ed 
of ungodly men ; 

3 And that he A\ou!d have compassion upon 
the cit\', sore defaced, and ready to be made

cried unto him, 

4 And rememlxT "^the wicked slaughter of 
harrnless infants, and the blasphemies committed 
against his name ; and that he •w ould shew liis 
hailed against the w ickcd. 

5 Now when Maccabeus had his company 
about him, he could not be withstood by die 
heathen : ' for the wrath of the Lord was turned 
into mercy. 

6 Therefore he came at unawiires, and bunii 
up towns and cities, imd got into his hands the 
most commodious places, and o^'ercalTle and put 
to flight no small number of his enemies. 

7 But specially took he advantage of the 
night for such privy attempts, insomuch that 
die bruit of his manliness w^ spread every 
where. 

8 So \\ hen ^ Philip saw tliat this man increased 
by little and litde, and thit things prospered with 
him still more and more, he wrote unto Ptole- 
meus, the governor of Celosyria and Phenice, to 
yield more aid to the king's affiiirs. 

9 Then forthw ith choosing ^ Nictmor tlie son

10 So Nicanor undertook to make so much

the tribute of two thousand talents, which die 
king \vas to pay to the Romans.

Apocrypha. 

16 So Maccabeus called his men together 
unto the number of six thousand, and exhorted 
them "" not to be stricken with terror of the ene- 
my, nor to fear the great multitude of the heatlien, 
who came wrongfully against them ; but to fight 
manfully, . . . 

17 And to set before their eyes the mjuiy 
that they had unjustly done to the holy place, 
and the cruel handling of the city, whereof they 
made a mockery, and also the taking away of 
the government of their forefathers : 

18 For they, said he, trust in their weapons 
and boldness; "but our confidence is in the 
Almighty God, who at a beck can cast down 
both them that come against us, and also all the 
world. 

19 Moreover, he recounted unto them what 
helps their forefathers had found, and how they 
vv'ere delivered, ° when under Sennacherib an 
hundred fourscore and five thousand perished. 

20 And he told them of the battle that they 
had in Babylon with tlie || Galatians, how they 
came but eight thousand in ail to the business, 
with four thousand Macedonians, and that the 
Macedonians being perplexed, the eight thou- 
sand destroyed iui hundred andtwenty thousand, 
because of the help that they had from heaven, 
p and so received a great booty. 

21 Thus when he had made them bold with 
these words, and ready to die for the laws and 
the country', he divided his army into four 
ptirts ; 

22 And joined ^vith himself his own brethren, 
leaders of each band, to wii, Simon, and Joseph, 
and Jonatkm, giy'vag each one fifteen hundred 
men. 

23 Also he appointed i Eleazai' to read the ho- 
ly book: and when he had given them this 
watchword, The help of God; himself lead- 
ing the first band, he joined battle v.ith Ni- 
canor. 

24 And ' by the help of the Almighty they 
slew above nine thousand of their enemies, and 
wounded and maimed the most pail of Nicanor's 
host, and so put all to flight , 

25 And took their money 'that came to buy 
them, and pursued them far : but lacking time 
they returned : 

26 For it was the day before the sabbath, and 
therefore they would no longer pursue them. 

27 So when they had gathered || their ar- 
mour together, and * spoiled their enemies, 
they occupied themselves about the sabbath, 
yielding exceeding praise and thanks to the 
Lord, who had preserved them unto that day, 
which was the beginning of mercy distilling up- 
on them. 

28 And after the sabbath, when they had 
given part of the spoils to the || maimed, and 
the widows, and orphans, the residue they divi- 
ded among themselves and their servants. 

29 When this was done, and they had made 
a common " supplication, they besought the 
merciful Lord to be reconciled with his servants 
for ever. 



CHAP. IX. Apocrypha. 

30 Moreover, of those that were with Timo- 
theus and Bacchides, who fought against them, 
they slew above twenty thousand, and very 
easily got high and strong holds, and divided 
among themselves many spoils more, and made 
* the II maimed, orphans, widows, yea, and the 
aged also, equal in spoils with themselves. 

3 1 And wdien they had gathered their armour 
together, they laid them up all carefully in con- 
venient places, and the remnant of the spoils 
they brought to Jerusalem. 

32 They slew also Philai'ches that ^ wicked 
person, who was with Timotheus, and had an- 
noyed the Jews many ways. 

33 Furthermore, at such tinie as they kept 
the feast for the victory in their country, they 
burnt Callisthenes, that had set fire upon the 
holy gates, who had fled into a little house ; and 
so he received a reward meet for his wicked- 
ness. 

34 As for that most ungracious * Nicanor, 
who had brought a thousand merchants *to buy 
the Jews, 

35 He v/as through the help of the Lord 
brought down by them, of whom he made least 
account ; and putting off his glorious apparel, 
and discharging his company, he came like a 
fugitive servant through the midland unto An- 
tioch, having veiy great dishonour, for that his 
host was destroyed

36. Thus he, that took upon him ''to makcbver. lo. 
good to the Romans their tribute by means of 
the captives in Jerusalem, told abroad, " that the 
Jews had God to fight for them, and therefore 
they could not be hurt, because they followed

CHAP. IX. 
2 Antiochus is chased from Persepolis : 5 he is 
stricken ivith a sore disease., 14 and promiseth 
to become a Jexv: 28 he dieth miserably . 

ABOUT that time came Antiochus |i with dis- 
honour "" out of the country of Persia. 

2 For he had entered the city called Perse- 
polis, and went about to rob the temple, and to 
hold the city; whereupon the multitude running 
to defend themselves with their weapons put 
them to flight ; and so it happened, that Anti- 
ochus being put to flight of the inhabitants, re- 
turned with shame. 

3 Now when he came to Ecbatane, news was 
brought him ^ what had happened. unto Nicanor 
and Timotheus. 

4 Then swelling with anger, he thought to 
avenge upon the Jews the disgrace done unto 
him by those that made him flee. Therefore 
commanded he his chariot-m^m to dri\'e witliout 
ceasing, and to dispatch die journey, "= the judg- 
ment of God now following him, For he had 
spoken "^ proudly in this sort. That he would 
come to Jerusalem, and make it a common 
burying-place of the Jews. 

5 But the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, 
^ smote him witli an incurable and invisible 
plague : for as soon as he had spoken these words, 
a pain of the bowels that was remediless

came upon hiin, and sore torments of the inner 
part.s ; 

('-) And tliat most justh- : ' for he had tonnent- 
cd other men's bowels w ith nvir.y j.nd strange 
toiTntnis. 

7 How'ovit, he nothing at ail ceased from his ! 
jjragging, hut still v.xs filled vith pride, e^ breath- 
ing out fire in ins rago against die Je^vs, and 
commanding to haste the journey : but it came 
to pass that he fell down from his chariot, carri- 
ed violently : so that having a sore fall, all the 
members of his body were much pained. 

8 And thus he that a little afore thought he 
might command the waves of the sea, (so ^ proud 
\\ as he beyond the condition of man) and weigh 
the I'igh mountains in a balance, was now ca.st 
on the gi'ound, ;>nd carried in an horse-litter, 
shewing forth unto all the manifest pouer of 
God. 

9 So that ' the worms rose up out of the body 
of this wicked man, and while he lived in son'ow 
and pain, his flesh fell away, and the filthiness of 
Itis smell A\as noisome to all his army. 

10 And the man that tiiought a little afore he 
could reacli to the stars of hea^■en, no man could 
endure to carr>' for his intolerable .stink. 

1 1 Here therefore being plagued, he began to 
leave oi^' his great pride, ^ and to come to the 
knowledge of himself hy the scourge of God, his 
pain increasing ever>' moment. 

12 And when he himself could not abide his 
own smell, he said these \\ords. It is meet to be 
subject luito God, and that a man that is mortiil 
should not proudly think, of himself, as if he 
were God. 

13 This wicked person vowed also unto the 
Lord (\\ho ' now no more would have mercy 
upon him) saying thus, 

14 That the holy city (to the whicli he was 
going in haste to lay it even w ith the giound, 
anil " to make it a common buiying-place,) he 
\\ould set at liberty : 

15 And as touching die Jfws, whom he had 
judged not worthy to be so much as buried, but 
to be cast out with their children to be de^ oured 
of the fowls and wild beasts, he would make 
them all equals to the citizais of || Athens. 

16 ,\nd the holy temple, which before he had 
spoiled, " he would garnish \\ith goodly gifts, and 
restore all the holy \essels widi many more, 
°aixl out of his own rcACnue defray the charges 
belonging to the sacrifices : 

17 Yea, and that also he would become a Jew 
himself, and go through all the \\ orld that was 
inhabited, and declare the 'power of God. 

18 But for all this his pains would not cease : 
for the just judgment of G<k1 was come upon 
him : therefore despairing of his health, he 
uTote unto die Jews the letters underwritten, 
contvining die fonn of a supplication, after this 
manner : 

19 Antiochus, king and governor, to tiie good 
Jews his citizens, wishcdi much joy, health and 
',11-ospcrily : 

20 If yc and your children fare well, and your 



your contentment, 
to God, h.wing 



Apoa-ypha.

my h.ope in 



afthirs be to

21 As for me, I was weak, or else I won kl 
have remembered kindl>- jour honour and gcocl 
will. ■■ Returning out of Per.ii.>, - and being tiiken 
w ith a grievous disease, I thought it nceessran,- 
to care for the common safetj- of ail : 

22 Not distrusting mine health, but ha\uig 
great hope to escape this sickn.ess. 

23 But considering that e^■en my fidicr, at 
what time he led an lu-my into 'die higii coun- 
tries, appointed a successor, 

24 To the end that, if any thing fell out con- 
traiy to expectiition, or if any tidings were 
brought that were grievous, they of the land, 
know ing to w horn jl the state was left, might 
not be troubled : 

25 Again, considering how that the princes, 
that are borderers and neighbours unto my king- 
dom, wait for opportunities, and expect \vhat 
shall be the event, I have "appointed my son 
Antiochus king, whom I often committed and 
commended unto many of you, when I went up 
into the high provinces; to v liom I h i\e written 
as followeth : 

26 Therefore I pray ar.d i^vit.v.,^. \ou to re- 
member the benefits that I ha\ e done unto you 
generally, and in special, and that every man 
will be still faithful to me and my son. 

27 For I am pei-suaded diat he, || understand- 
ing my mind, \yill fa\-oui-abiy and gixiciously 
yield to your desires. 

28 Thus the murderer and blasphemer hav- 
ing suffered most grievoush-, as he entieated 
other men, so died he a * miserable deaUi in a 
strange countiy in the mountains. 

29 And ''Philip, that was brought up with 
him, carried away his body, who iilso fe;uing 
the son of Antiochus, went into Egyi)t to Ptole

5 Now upon the same day that the strangers 
profaned the temple, on the veiy same day it 
\\as cleansed ag-aiji, even the ^\c and tAventietli 
day of the same month, " which is Casleu. 

6 And they kept eight days widi gladness, as 
in tlie feast of the tabernacles, remembering that 
not long afore tliey had held the feast of the ta- 
bernacles, when as tliey ^ wandered in the moun- 
tains and dens like beasts. 

7 Therefore they bare branches, and fiiir 
boughs, and pdms also, and sang psalms unto 
him tliat had given them good success in cleans- 
ing liis place. 

cS They ordained also by a common statute 
and decree, that e^"ery year those days should 
be kept of the A\"hole nation of the Jews. 

9 And this was the end of * Antiochus, called 
Epiphanes. 

10 Now will we declai-e the acts of ^ Antiochus 
Eupator, -who "was the son of tliis A\icked man, 
gathering briefly the calamities of the \\-ars. 

11 So when he was come to the croun, he 
set one ^ Lysias over tSie affkii^s of his realm, and 
appointed him chief go-\'ernor of Celosma and 
Phenice. 

12 For Ptolemeus, tliat was called Macron, 
choosing rather to do justice unto the Jca^s, for 
the wrongs that had been done unto them, en- 
deavoured to continvie peace "\\ith them. 

13 Whereupon being accused of the king''s 
friends before Eupator, and called ti-aitor at tx&cy 
word, because he had left C\-pruSj that Philome- 
tor had committed unto him, and depaited to 
Antiochus Epiphanes, || and seeing that he ^^"as 
m no honourable place, he was so discouraged, 
that he poisoiALhiniself, and died. 

14 But whoB^^o^si^s was go\'enior of the 
II holds, he hired soldiers, and nourished \Aar 
continually with the Je\\ s : 

15 And thereA\ itlial the Idumeans, ha\ing got- 
ten into their hands the most commodious holds, 
kept the Jews occupied, and receiving those tliat 
were banished fi'om Jerusalem, they went about 
to nourish war. 

16 Then they that were with Maccabeus made 
' supplication, and besought God tliat he A\"ould 
be their helper; and so they ran A\ith violence 
upon the strong holds of the Idumeans, 

17 And assaulting them strongly, diey won 
the holds, and kept oft" all that fought upon tire 
wall, and slew all that fell into their hands, and 
killed no feA\'er tliair twenty tliousand. 

18 And because certain, who \^ ere no less than 
nine thousand, \\'ere fled together iirto two very 
strong castles, having all manner of things con- 
venient to sustain the siege, 

19 Maccabeus left; ^ Simon and Joseph, and 
Zacch.:u also, and them that \^ere with him, 
who were enough to besiege them, and depaited 
himself unto those places which more needed 
his help. 

20 Now II they that were with Simon, be- 
ing led with ' co\etousness, A\ere persuaded 
for money thi'ough certain of those that 
were in the castle, and took seventv thou-

sand drachms, and let some of them escape. 

21 But when it was told Maccabeus what was 
done, he called the goACi-nors of the people to- 
gether, and accused tliose men that they had sold 
their brethren for money, and set their enemies 
free to fight against them. 

22 So he slew tliose that were found "^ traitors, 
and immediately took the two castles. 

23 And having good success with his weapor^ 
in all tl'vings he took in hand, he slew in the tv.o 
holds more than t^^"enty thousand. - 

24 Now Timotheus, " A\hom tlie Jews had 
overcome before, when he had gatliered a great 
multitude of foreign forces, and horses out of 
Asia, not a few, came as though he A\ould take 
JeA\'r\" by force of ai-ms. 

25 But when he di'ew neai-, || they that were 
with Maccabeus turned themsehes to pray unto 
God, and sprinkled eaithupon their heads, and 
girded dieir loins A\"ith sackcloth, 

26 And fell doA\'n at the foot of the altai', and 
besought Iiim to be merciful to them, and to be 
° an enemy to their enemies, and an adACrsary 
to their adversaries, as the law declareth. 

27 So after tlie prayer, they took their wea- 
pons, and went on fuitlier from the city : and 
when they cfrew near to their enemies, they 
kept by themselves. 

28 Now the sun being newly risen, they joined 
both together ; the one part having together Avitli 
their virtue, their refuge also p unto the Loixl, for 
a_ II pledgeof their success and victory : the other 
side making their rage leader of their battle. 

29 But A\'hen the battle Avaxed strong, there 
appeai-ed unto the enemies, from heaven, five 
comely men upon horses, with bridles of gold, 
and two of tliem led the Jews, 

30 Audi took Maccabeus betwixt them, and 
coA-ered hirn on CACiy side AA'ith their AA'capons, 
and kept him safe, but shot arroAvs and light- 
ning's against the enemies : so tliat being con- 
foimded AA-ith blincbiess and full of trouble, thcA^ 
AAcre killed. 

31 And tliere AAcre slain of footmen tAA-entA' 
thousand and fiAe hundi'ed, and six hundi-cd 
horsemen. 

32 As for '^ Timotheus himself, he fled into 
a Aer>- sti-ong hold, called Gazai-a, AAhere Che- 
reas Avas goA-emon 

_ 33 But they that Avere AAith Maccabeus laid 
siege against the fortress courageously four days. 

34 And they that AAcre A\-itliin, trusting to the 
sti^ength of the place, = blasphemed exceedingh", 
and uttei-ed Avicked AAords. 

35 NcA-ertheless upon the fiitli day, eai-ly, tAAcn- 
ty young men of Maccabeus' company," inflam- 
ed A\-ith anger because of the blasphemies, as- 
saulted the A\-all manly, and Avitli a fierce cou- 
rage killed all that they met Avithal. 

36 Others likcAvise ascending after them, Avhiles 
they AAcre busied wixh them that A\ere Avidiin,

"> Lysuis, thhiking to get yentsakm, 8 is put to 
flight. 16 The letters of Lysias to the Jer^s: 
22 of the king unto Lysias, 27_ and to thu; 
Je^ivs: 2>A:'of the Romans to the J civs. 

NOT long alter this, ^ Lysias the king's f pro- 
tector and cousin, who also managed the 
affairs, took sore disjileasure for the diings tliat 
were done. 

2 And when he had gadiered about fourscore 
thousand, witli all the hoi"semen, he came against 
the Jews, thinking to make die city an liabita- 
tion of the || Gentiles, 

3 And to make a gain of die temple, as of 
the other chapels of the heathen, and to set the 
high priesthood to sale every jear : 

4 iN ot at all considering ^ the power of God, 
but puffed up with his ten thousands of foot- 
men, and his thousands of horsemen, and his 
fourscore elephants. 

5 So he came to Judea, and drew near to 
^ Bethsuni, which was a strong town, but dis- 
tant from Jenisalem about fi\e furlongs, and he 
laid sore siege unto it. 

6 Now when || they that were widi Macca- 
beus heard diat he besieged the holds, diey and 
all the people with lamentation and teiirs be- 
sought the Lord that he would seixl a good 
'' angel to deruer Israel. 

7 Then Maccabeus himself fir.st of all took 
weitpons, exhorting die odier that they \\ould 
jeopiird themselves together w ith him to help 
their bredircn : so they went forth together witli 
a willing mine!. 

8 -And as they were at Jenisalem, dieie ap- 
. peaied before them on horseback one in • \vliite 

clothing, shaking his armour of gold. 

9 Then diey praised die merciful God all to- 
gether, and took heart, insomuch that tlie\' \\tre 
ready not only to fight with men, but with 
most cruel beasts, and to pierce through walls 
of iron. 

10 Thu.s they marched fon\:ud in their ar- 
moin-, ^ ha\ing an helper from h.ea\ en : for the 
Lord was merciful unto dieniT 

11 ^ynd giving a charge upon dieir enemies 
like lions, they slew eleven i\\ou^M\i\ fonivun, 
and sixteen hundred lv:)rbcmen, atid put all the 
odier to lliglit. 

12 Manv of them also being wounded escaped 
naked ; and Ljsias himself fled aw ay shimiefully , 
and so escaped. 

13 Who, as he was a man of understanding, 
casting with himself wliat loss he kid liad, and 
considering that the Hebrews could not l>e over- 
come, because « die Almighty God helped them, 
he sent unto them, 

2 




14 And persuaded them to agree to all rea- 
sonable conditions, and promised tliat he would 
pei-suade die king tliiit he must needs be a Iriend 
unto them. 

15 Then Maccabeus ** consented to all that »» Rom. 12. 
Lysias desired, being careful of the common jj"'*''" 
good ; and whatsoever Maccabeus wrote inito 
Lysiiis concerning the Jews, ' die king granted it. "^°'' "' 

16 For there wen; letters written unto the 
Jews from Lysias to this effect : L>sias unto the 
people of the Jews sendeth greeting : 

17 John and Absalom, who were sent from 
you, delivered me die petition subscribed, and 
made recjuest for die perfomiance of the con- 
tents thereof. 

18 Therefore \\hat things soever were meet 
to be reported to die king, I have declared them, 
and he hath ^ gi'anted as much as might \vi. k vc. i.». 

19 If dien ye will keep yourselves loj'al to the ciri*= 
state, hereal'tcr also will I endea^■our to be a 
means of your good. 

20 But of the particulars I have given order 
both to these, and the other that came from 
me, to commune with you. 

21 ' Fare ye well. The hundred and eightiAcws- 
and fortieth \ear, the four and twentieth day of "*'

I words : King Antiochus unto his brother L\-sias

! gods, our will is, that they that are in our 

realm li\c ciuietly, tliat e\ery' one may attend 

upon his own aft"aii"S. 

I 24 We understand also diat the Jews would 
j not consent to our fadier, for to be brought un- 
I to ^ the custom of the Gentiles, but had rather n chi^ 
I keep their own manner of Tning: for the i\hieli ** '' 
I cause diey requiie of us, that \". e should suffer 

them to Tne after ° their own laws. ocj»ir 

25 Wherefore our mind is, diat diis nation *" *"

ave?iged upon them: 11 he maketh peace ivith 
the Arabians, 16 and taketh Caspis. 22 77- 
motheus'' armies ox^erthroivn. 

WHEN these co\ enants Avere made, Lysias 
A\'ent unto the king, and the Jews v\'ere 
* about their husbandry. 

2 But of the go-vemors of several places, 
^ Timotheus, and Apollonius the son of Gen- 
neus, also Hieronymus, and Demophon, and 
beside them Nicanor the governor of Cyprus, 
would not suffer them to be " quiet, and live 
in peace. 

3 The men of Joppe also did such an ungodly 
deed: they praj^ed the Jew's tliat d^^"elt among 
them to go with their Avives and children into 
the boats which they had prepared, as though 
they had meant them no huit : 

4 Who accepted of it according to the com- 
mon decree of the citj^, as being desirous to live 
in peace, and suspecting nothing: but when 
they Aveie gone forth into the deep, they drown- 
ed no less than two hundred of them, 

5 When Judas heard of this cruelty done unto 
his coiintrj-men, he commanded those that were 
with him to make them ready. 

6 And calling upon God *■ the righteous 
Judge, he came against those ^ murderers of 
his bretliren, and bunit the haven by night, and 
set the boats on fire, and those that fled thither 
he slew. 

7 And when the town w as shut up, he went 
backward, |j as if he would return to root out all 
them of the city of Joppe. 

8 But when he heard that the Jamnites were 
minded to do in like manner unto the Jews that 
dwelt among them, 

9 He came upon the Jamnites also by night, 
and set fire on tlie ha\ en and the navy, so that the [ 
light of the fire was seen at Jerusalem two hun- 
dred and forty furlongs off". 



, XIL Apocrypha. [829] 

10 Now when thej- were goi^e from thence c^'hjs'i. 
nine furlongs in their journey towaid ^ Timo- ^ le*- 
theus, no fewer than fu e thousand men^ on foot fy].^~^' 
and fiA'C hundred horsem.en of the Arabians set 
upon him. 

1 1 W'hereupon there was a verj-" sore battle ; 

but Judas' side ^ by the help of God gat the vie- g Ps. i^, ; 
toiy ; so that the Nomades of Arabia, being 
overcome, besought Judas for peace, promising 
both to give him cattle, and to pleasure him 
othierwise. 

12 Then Judas, thinking indeed that they 
would be profitable in many things, '^ granted Ij'^^hap.ii 
them peace : whereupon they shook hands, and 

so they |j departed to their tents. i or, ■«.«« 

13 He went also about to make a bridge (7^/,';" 
to a certain strong city, Avhich was lenced ^■^(■;,-^f ''' 
about with walls, and inhabited by people oi "nd cattu. 
diA-ers countries ; and the name of it Avas 
Caspis. 

14 But they that Avere Avithin it put such trust 
in the strength of the Avails and provision of vic- 
tuals, that they behaA'cd them.selves rudely to- 
ward them that Avere A^'ith Judas, railing and 

' blaspheming, and uttering such Avords as Avere * char. lu. 
not to he spoken, 

15 Wherefore Judas AAith his company, call- 
ing upon the great Lord of the a\ orld, ^ 
A^•ithout any rams or engines of Avar did cast 
doAA n Jericho in the time of Joshua, gave a fierce 
assault against the Avails, 

16 And took the city by the Avill of God, and 
made tmspeakable ' slaughters, insomuch that 
a lake tA<> o furlongs broad near adjoining there- 
unto, being filled full, AAas 9€en running Avith 
blood. 

17 Then depaited they fi-om thence seven hun- 
dred arid fiftj' ™ fiirlongs, and came to Characa m ver. 9. 
unto the Jcavs that are called Tubieni. 

18 But as lor Timotheus, they found him hot 
in the places: for before he had dispatched any- 
thing, he depaited from thence, having left a 
veiy strong gairison in a ceitain hold. 

19 HoAvbeit, Dositheus . and Sosipater, Avho 
were of Maccabeus' captains, Avent forth, and 
slcAv those that Timotheus had left in the for. 
tress, above ten dwusand men, 

20 And Maccabeus i-anged his army by bands, 

and "■ set || them over the bands, and Avent against „ ver. iq. 
Timotheus, Avho had about liim an hundred and 1,^7**"'^ 
twenty thousand men of foot, and tAvo tliousand ?«". ^''"^'"' 
and five hundred horsemen. 

21 NoAv A\'hen Timotheus had knowledge of 
Judas' coming, he sent the Avomen and children 
and the other baggage imto a ° fortress called 
II Camion : for the toAvn Avas hard to besiege, 
and uneasy to come mito, by reason of the strait

22 But Avhen Jad.is h's first band came in

23 Judas also was \eiy etunest in pursuing 
them, killing those wicked w retches, of whom 
he blew about thirtj" thousiuxd men. 

24 Moreover, Timotheus himself fell uito the 
hands of '* Dosithcus and Sosipater, whom he 
Ix'sought witli nnich cnift to let liim go w iUi his 
life, because he had many of the Jews' pai'ents, 
and die brelhren of some of them, who, if they 
had put him to death, should not be regarded. 

25 So when he had assured them with many 
w orcLs tkit he would restore them without hurt, 
according to the agreement, diey let him go for 
the sa% ing of "^ their brctliren. 

26 Then Maccabeus marched forth to Car- 
nion, and to the temple of (| Atargatis, and there 
he slew fi\e and twenty tliousiind persons. 

27 .:Vnd after he had put to flight and destroy- 
ed them, Judas remo\ ed the host tow ard ' Eph- 
ron, a strong city, ^\'herein Lysias abode, and a 
great multitude of di\ers nations, and the strong 
young men kept the walls, and defended them 
mightily: wherein also \\as gi-eat provision of 
engines and darts. 

28 But when ' Judas and his company had 
called upon Almighty God, who with his power 
breaketli the strength of his enemies, they won 
the cit\-, and slew twenty and five thousand of 
them that were within. 

29 From thence they depaited to Scjthopo- 
lis, \\hich lieth six hundred furlongs from Jeru- 
salem. 

30 But when tlie Je^^ s that dwelt there had 

testified that the Sc^thopolitiuis dealt lovinglj- 

ujohfl. 14. widi them, and entreated them kindlv " in the 
prov. 17.17. ^|j^^^. (^p j_]^^.i^ advtt-sity ; 

31 They gave them thanks, desiiing them to 
be friendly still unto tliem : and so they came to 

xDeut. 16. Jeru.salem, " the feast of the weeks approaching. 

"^ 32 And after the ./m^^ called Pentecost, they 

went forth against Gorgias the go\ernor of Idu- 
mea, 

."3 Who came out with three thousand men 
of foot and four hundred horsemen. 

34 And it happened that in riieir fighting to- ■ 
gether, a few of the Jew s were slain. 

War. ». 35 At which time, ^ Dosidieus, one of Bace- 
nor's company, who ^\^ls on horseback, and a 
strong man, was still upon Gorgias, and ticking 
hoki of his coat drew liim by force ; and \\hcn he 
w ouki hu^ e taken that cursed man alive, a hor.se-

«.""4;^» 3G Now when they that w c re w ilh Gorgias had

^r, 45.1. the Lord, ^ that he would shew Inmscll to be 
' tlx;ir helper and leader of the battle. 

37 And with that he began in ins (jwn lan- 
guage, and sung psalms w ilh a loud voice, and 
rushing unawares upon Gorgias' men, he put 
them to ilight. 

38 So Judas g-athered his host, and came mto 
tliecity of OdoUam. And hen the se\enth day 
came,' they purified themselves, as the custom 
was, and kept the sabbath in the same pbce.

39 And upon die day following, U as the use chkist

up the bodies of them tliat were slain, and to ,oJ^7~ 
bury them with their kinsmen in their fathers' '"'■'''>""'.

40 Now under the coats of evciy one that was *'.^- 
slain they found things consecrated to die idols 
of the Jamnites, w hich is forbidden the Jew s by 

'' the law. Then e\ er>' man saw that this \\as ^PjJ" ' 
the cause wherefore tliey were slain. 

41 All men therefore praising the Lord the 
righteous Judge, *= \\ho had oix;ned tlie things \^*'' *• 
tliat were hid, 

42 ^ Betook tliemselves unto prayer, and be- <ijo»fc.7.T. 
sought him that the sin committed might wholly '''" 

be put out of remembnuice. Besides, that no- 
ble Judas exhorted die people to keep tliemselves 
from sin, fbrsomuch as they saw before Uieir 
eyes tlie things that came to pass for the sins of 
those that were skiin. 

43 And \vhen he had made a gathering through- 
out the conipanj- to the sum of two thousand 
drachms of silver, he sent it to Jerusalem to 
oft'er a sin-oftbring, doing dierein ver\- well and 
honesdy, in that he was mindful of ' the resur- J,"''"'^' 
rection : 

44 For if he had not hoped that tliey that were 
slain should liave risen agiiin, it had been super- 
fluous iuid vain to pray for the dead. 

45 And also in dia't he percei\ed that Uiere 

was gi-eat favour 'laid up for those tliat died J' ■^'"•*-

IN tlie hundred forty and nindi year it was told ^ ''^^[f-^

A\ith a great power into Judea, "'*■ 

2 And with him ^ Lysias his protector, and ^ ^" '■

3 "^ Menelaus also joined himself with ditrn, cch»p. n. 
and A\ith great dissimulation encouraged Anti- "• 
ochus, not for the safeguard of the country, 

but because he thoui;hi to ha\e been made

7 Such a death it happened that wicked man 
to die, not ha^'ing so much as burial in the earth ; 
a]id that most justly : 

8 For inasmuch ^ as he had committed many 
sins about the altar, whose fire and ashes were 
holy, he received his death in ashes. 

9 Now the king came wiih a barbarous and 
liaughty mind to do far worse to the Jcavs, than 
had been done in his father's time. 

10 Whicb tliuigs when Judas perceived, he 
commanded the multitude to call upon the Lord 

**-^- s night and day, that if ever at any otlier time, 
he Mould now also help them, being at the point 
to be put from their law, fi-om their country, 
and from the holy temple : 

11 And tliat he would not suffer the people, 
AaT'.r1f4that II liad even now been but a little ^ refresh- 
reipitt. £(5 tQ \^ y^ subjection to the blasphemous na- 

h Ezra 7. .• ' -^ ■ 

ae. 6-9.9. tions. 

12 So when they had all done this togetlier, 
and besought the merciful Lord with weeping 
and fasting, and laying flat upon the ground ' tiiree 
days long, Judas having exhorted them, com- 
manded they should be in a readiness. 

13 And Judas, being apart with the elders, 
determined before the king's host skould enter 
into Judea, and get the city, to go forth and 
try the matter in fight by the help of the Lord. 

14 So when he had committed all to the 
I Or, L«rd. H Creator of the Avorld, and exhorted his soldiers 
Qa. 40. *i. j^ ggi^^ manfully, even unto death, for the laws, 

the temple, the citj', the country, and the com- 
monwealth, he camped by Modin: 

15 And having given the watclword to them 
that were about him, ^ Victory is of God; 
with the most % aliant and choice young men 
he went in into the king's tent bj' night, and slew 
in the camp about four thousand men, and the 
chiefest of the elephants, with all that were upon 
him. 

16 And at last they filled the camp with ^ fear 
and tumult, and departed \\ith good success. 

17 This was done in the break of the day, be- 
cause the protection of the Lord did help him. 

18 Now \\'hen the king had taken a taste of 
the manliness of the Jews, he went about to 
take the holds by policy, 

19 And marched toward Bethsura, " which 
was a strong hold of the Jews : but he was put 

o flight, failed, and lost of his men : 

20 For Judas had conveyed unto them that 
were in it such things as Mere necessary. 

21 But Rhodocus, who^iis in the Je\vs' host, 
disclosed the secrets to the enemies; therefore 
he was sought out, and when they had gotten 
him, they put him in prison. 

22 The king treated with them in Bethsura 
the second time, ga\e his hand, took their's, ' 
departed, fought A\ith Judas, was overcome; 

23 Heard that Philip, who was left over the 
aflairs in Antioch, || Avas desperately bent, con- 
foimded, " intreated the Jews, submitted him- 
self, and swai-e to all equal conditions, agreed 
Avith them, and offered sacrifice, honoured the 
temple, and dealt kii:idly with the place,

6 Alcimus accuseth Jiidas. 18 Nicanor maketh 

peace ivith Judas: 39 he seeketh to take Razis; 

46 ivho, to escape his hands, killeth himself. 

AFTER three years Avas Judas informed, that cir. u%. 
^ Demetrius the son of Seleucus, haA-ing ; 
entered by tlie haven of Tripolis uith a great ^" 
power and navy, 

2 Had taken the countrj% '' and killed 
ochus, and Lysias his protector. 

3 Now *= one Alcimus, who had been high 
priest, and had defiled himself wilfiilly in the times 
of their mingling vjith the Gentiles, seeing that by 
no means he could save himself, nor ha^e any 
more access to the holy altar, 

4 Came to king Demetrius in the hundred and 
one ajid fiftieth year, presenting unto him a croMTi 
of gold, and a palm, and also of the boughs 
v.hich were || used solemnly in the temple : and h or, 
so that day he held his peace. f ™/''/,// 

5 Howbeit, having gotten opportunity to fur- '""p''- 
ther his foolish enteiprise, and being called in- 
to council by Demetrius, and asked how the 
Jews stood affected, and Avhat they intended, he 
answered thereunto : 

6 Those of the Jews that be called ^ Assi- diwacs. 
deans, whose captain is Judas Maccabeus, ^ nou- f^^^ ^^ 
rish war, and are seditious, and m ill not let the i^- ^''• 
realm be in peace. 

7 Therefore I, being deprived of mine ances- 
tors' honour, I mean the high priesthood, am 
now come hither : 

8 First, A-erily for the unfeigned care I have 
of things peitaining to the king; and secondly, 
even for that I intend the good of mine OAvn 
countrjTTien : for aU oui' nation is in no small 
misery through the unadvised dealing of them 
aforesaid. 

9 Wherefore, O king, seeuig thou knoAvest 

all these things, be careful for the country-, *^and fswisa. 
our nation, which is pressed on every side, ac- 
cording to the clemency that thou readily shew- 
est unto all. 

10 For as long as Judas liveth, it is not pos- - 
sible that the state should be quiet. 

11 This was no sooner spoken of him, bat 
others of ^ the king's friends, being maliciously 
set against Judas, did more incense Demetiius. sa! 

12 And forthwith calling ^ Nicanor, Avho had m Mac 
been master of the elephants, and making him ^c 
governor over Judea, he sent him forth, 

13 Commanding him to slay Judas, and to 
scatter them tliat were with him, and to make 
'Alcimus high priest of the great temple. y«,j ,

trj-, durst not trj' the niiitter by the swoid. 

19 Wherefore he sent Posidonius, luid Theo- 
cbap. 12. dotus, and Mattathias, " to make peace. 

20 So ^\hen they had t:iken long advisement 
thereupon, and the capUiin had made the multi- 
tude acquainted therew ith, and it appeared that 

o5«ciup. they \\ere all of one mind, tliey consented to ° the 
co\enants, 

2 1 And appointtxl a day to meet in together by 
themseh es : and when tlie day came, itnd stools 
were set for either of them, 

22 Judas placed armed men ready in conve- 
nient i)laces, lest some treacher>' should be sud- 
denly pr.ictised b>- the enemies : so they made a 
peaceable conference. 

23 Now Nicanor abode in Jerusalem, and did 
no hurt, but sent away the people that came 
flocking unto him. 

24 And he would not willingly have Judas out 
of his sight : ' for he loved the man from his 
heart. 

25 He prayed him also to take a w ife, and to 
beget children : so he manied, was quiet, and 

lr('>n'^ II took part of this life. 

26 But Alcimus, percei\ ing the lo\ e tliat was 
betwixt them, and considering '' the covenants 
that were made, aime to Demetrius, and told 
him diat Niciinor was not well-affected to- 
wiird the state: for that he had ordiiined Ju- 
das, a traitor to his realm, to be the king's 
successor. 

27 Then the king being in a rage, imd pro\'f>k- 
ed widi the accusations of "^ die most wicked 
man, wrote to Nicanor, signifying Uiat he \\as 
much displeased ^\•itll tlie covenants, and com- 
manding him Uiat he should send Maccabeus 
pri.^oner in all haste unto Antioch. 

28 \N hen this came to Niamor's hearing he' 
was much conlounded in himself, and took it 
grievously that he shtaild make void Uic articles 
which were agreed upon, tiie man being in no

that he entreated liini more roughh' ' tlian he ' — ' — ' 
was wont, perceiviig that such sour behaviour j/."^" 
came not of good, he gathered together i.oi a

31 But the odier knowing diat he was notably

32 Ai-.d ^\hcn tb.ey swaic that they could not

lay this temple of God e\ en w ith the ground, 
and I w ill break down the aluu", luid erect a nota- 
ble temple \\\\\o Bacchus. 

34 After these words he departed. Then the 
priests " lifted up their hands toward heaven, and 'l^^^- '* 
besought him that was ttxcv a defender of their 
nation, saying in this manner ; 

55 Thou, *0 Lord of all things, who hastj,^'"'^"

thine habitation should be among us: 

36 Therefore now , O holy Lord of all holi- 
ness, keep this house ever undefiled, which 
lately wi\s cleansed, and stop e\eiy luirighteous

37 Now was dicre accused unto Nicanor one

5 Nicanor''s blasphemy. 8 Judas ciicGurctgcth his 
men by his dream. 28 Nicanor is s/ain. 
UT Nicanor, heating ^ that Judas and his 
company were in the strong places about 
Samaria, resolved without any clanger to set 
upon them on the sabbath-day. 

2 Nevertlieless, the Jews that were compelled 
to go with him, said, O destroy not so cruelly 
and barbarouslj', but gi^:.e honour to that day, 
which he, '' th-at seeth all things, * hatli honoured 
with holiness above oih^r days. 

3 Then the most ungracious -i^TCtch demanded 
if there were a Mighty One in heaven, that had 
commanded the sabbath day to be kept .' 

4 And when they said. There is in heaven a 
living Lord, and mighty, ^\■ho commanded the 
seventh day to be kept ; 

5 Then said the other, ^ And I also am migh- 
ty upon earth, and I command to take arms, and 
to do the king's business. Yet he obtained not 
to have his \^'icked v.ill done. 

6 So Nicanor ^ in exceeding pride and haugh- 
tiness determined to set up a public monument 
of his ^-ictory o-\er Judas and tltem that were 
with him. 

7 But Maccabeus had ever sure confidence 
that the Lord vrould help liim : 

8 Wherefore he exhorted his people not to 
fear the coming of the heathen against them, but 
to remember the help v.hich in fonner times 
thej' had receiAcd from hea\en, and no\v to ex- 

f Chap. 13. pec't^ the victory and aid, vrhich should come 
unto them from the Almightj'. 

9 And so comforting them out of the law and 
the prophets, ^ and withal putting them in mind 
of the battles that they ^Aon afore, lie made them 
more cheei-Hil. 

10 iVnd when he had stirred up their minds, 
he gave them their charge, shewing them there- 
fa chap. w. withal the falsehood of the heathen, ^ and the 

breach of oaths. 

11 Thus .he amied CAcry one of them, not so 
much A\ ith defence of shields and spears, as with 
' comfortable and good words : and beside that, 
he told them a dream v.oitliy to be believed, as 
if it had been so indeed, \\hich did not a little 
rejoice them. 

12 And this was his vision : That Onias, who 
had been high priest, a A-irtuous and a good man, 
reverend in conversation, gentle in condition, 

seejTan. }vell spolvCu also, and exercised '' from a child 
^■'' in all points of ^•irtue, holding up his hands, 
prayed for the vrhole body of the Jews. 

13 This done, in like manner there appeared a 
man A\idi gray hairs, and exceeding glorious, 
uho nas of a wonderful and excellent majesty. 

14 Then Onias answered, saying, This is a 



XV. Apocrypha. 

lover of the brethren, whoprayeth much for the 
people, and for the holy citj', to %vi(, ' Jeremias 
the prophet of God. 

15 Whereupon Jeremias, holding forth liis 
right hand, gave to Judas a sword of gold, and in 
giving it spake thus. 

16 Take this holy sword, a gift fi-om God, 
^ with the which thou shalt wound the adver- 
saries. 

17 Thus being wtU comforted by the Avords 
of Judas, which were \er>- good, and able to 
stir them up to valour, and to encourage the 
heaits of the young men, they determined not to 
pitch camp, but courageously to set upon them, 
and manfully to try the matter by conflict, be- 
cause_ the citj- and the sanctuarj- and the temple 
A\'ere in danger. 

18 For the care that they took for their Axives, 
and their children, their bretliren, and kinsfolks, 
'^vas in least account with them : " but the great- 
est and principal fear was for the holy temple. 

19 Also they that VAere in the city took not 
the least care, being troubled for die conflict 
abroad. 

20 And now, when as all looked Avhat should 
be the ti'ial, and the enemies \\ere already come 
near, and the army was set in airay, and the 
beasts conveniently placed, and the horsemen set 
in A\ings, 

21 Maccabeus seeing the coming of the mul- 
titude, and the di\ers preparations of armour, 
and the fierceness of the beasts, ° stretched out 
Ms hands towaid heaven, and called upon the 
Lord that worketh wonders, knowing that p aIc- 
tory cometh not by amis, but even as it seem- 
eth good to him, he giveth it to such as ai'e 
worthy : 

22 Therefore in his prayer he said after this 
manner ; O Lord, ^ thou didst send thine angel 
in the time of Ezekias king of Judea, and didst 
slay in the host of Sennacherib an hundred four- 
score and fi\'e thousand : 

23 Wherefore now also, O Lord of heaven, 
' send a good angel before us for a fear and dread 
unto them ; 

24 And through the might of thine arm let 
those be stricken with teiTor, that come against 
thy holy people to blaspheme. And he ended 
thus. 

25 Then Nicanor and they tliat were with him 
came forward \yith trumpets and songs. 

26 But Judas and his companj^ encoimtered 
the enemies with ^ in\ ocation and prayer. 

27 So that fighting a\ ith their hands, and pray- 
ing unto God with their hearts, they slew no 
less than thirty and five thousand men : for 
through the appeai-ance of God diey v/ere great- 
ly cheered. 

28 Now "when the battle was done, " returning 
again with joy, they knew that Nicanor lay dead 
in his harness. 

29 Then they made a great shout and a 
noise, praising the Almighty in their OAvn lar.- 
guage. 

30 And Judas, who was ever the chief de- 

fender

when they kid opened thei: treasures, they 1| i)re- 
sented unto him gifts ; gold, and frankincen.se,

12 And being warned of God ''in a cbeam, 
tliat tliey should not return to Herod, they de- 
parted into their own coimtiy another w ay.

that it might be fulfilled \\hich was spoken of 
tlie Lord by the prophet, sajing, 'Out of Kg>-pt

mocked of the ^v ise men, was exceeding wroth, 
and sent forth, and slew all the children that 
w ere in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts there- 
of, from tw o years old and under, according to

\h And Jesus, answering, said unto him. Suf- 
fer it to be so now : "' for thus it beeometh us to 
fulfil all righteousness. Then he suflered him. 

16 And Jesus, "when he was baptized, went 
up straightw ay out of tlie watci- : and lo, the

Spirit of God descending like a do\ e, and light-

Christ beginneth to preach: CIl 

4 But he answered, aiid said. It is writteji, 
•= Man shall not live by bread alone, but by 
evtiy word that proceedeth. out of the mouth of 
God. 

5 Then the de^'il taketh him up into the ^ holy 
city, and setteth him on a pinnacle of the temple, 

6 And saith unto him, If thou be the Son oi 
God, cast thyself down : for it is written, ^ He 
shall give his angels charge concerning thee ; and 
in their hands they shall bear thee up, lest at any 
time thou dash thy foot against a stone. 

7 Jesus said unto him, It is wTitten again, 
^ Thou slialt not tempt the Lord thy God. 

8 Again, ^ the de\ il taketh him up into an 
exceeding high mountain, and sheM'eth him all 
the kingdoms of the world, and the glory of 
them ; 

9 And saith unto him, All these things Avill I 
give thee, ^ if thou Vv ilt fall do^\^l and worship 
me. 

10 Then saith Jesus unto him, Get thee 
hence, Satan : for it is w ritten, ' Thou shalt 
worship the Lord thy God, and him only shalt 
tliou ser\e. 

11 Then the devil leaveth him, and, behold, 
'' angels came and ministered unto him. 

12 ^^Now, when Jesus had heai-d that John 
was li cast into prison, he departed into Galilee : 

1.3 And, leaving Naziu'eth, he came and dwelt 
in Capernaum, which is upon the sea-coast, in 
the boixlers of Zabulon and Nephtlialim; 

14 That it might be fulfilled Avhich was spoken 
by " Esaias the prophet, saying, 

15 The land of Zabulon, and the land of 
Nephthalim, by the way of the sea, beyond Jor- 
dan, Galilee of the Gentiles; 

16 "The people which sat in darkness', • saw 
great light ; and to them -v^hich sat in the region 
and shadow of death, light is sprung up. 

17 11° From that time Jesus began to preach, 
and to say. Repent : for the kingdom of lieaA-en 
is at hand. 

18 Ifi'And Jesus, ^valking by the sea of Gali- 
lee, saw t\\o brethren, Simon called Peter, and 
Anch-ew his brother, casting a net into the sea : 
for they were fishers. 

19 And he saith unto them. Follow me, ^ and 
I will make you fishers of rhen. 

20 And they ^ straightway left their nets, and 
followed him. 

21 And going on from thence, he ''saw other 
two brethren, James the soti of Ze'Dedee, and John 
his brother, in a ship wiih Zelx.'dee their lather, 
mendir.g their ne^s; and he called them. 

22 And they imm.ediately left the ship and 
their fatlier, and followed him. 

23 IF And Jesus went about all Galilee, *teach- 
ing ni tl"ieir synagogues, and preaching tlie gos- 
pel of the kingdom, and "healing all manner of 
sickness, and all manner of disease, among the 
people. 

• 24 "^ And his fame Ment tliroughout ail Syria :

13 H Ye are the salt of the earth: ^but if the IX^ 
salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be 
salted ? it is thenceforth good for nodiing but to 
be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of

14 Ye are the light of the world. A city that

15 Neither do men ™ light a candle, and put it ^.^"."^

21 li Ye Iv.ne heard that it was said || by them

22 But I say unto you, *That whosoever is

in diuiger of the judgment; and whosoever shall 
say to his brother, || Raca, shall be in danger of 
the council; but wht'socver shall sa>-, Thou fool,

23 'I'hereiorc, il thou bring thy gift to the

hath aught against thee ; 

24 " Le;i\ e there thy gift before the altar, and

thou art in the way with him ; ^ lest at any time

26 Verily, I say unto thee. Thou shalt by no

uttermost farthing. 

27 ^ Ye ha\e heard that it was said by them of

30 And if thy right hand offend thee, cut it off, 
and east it from thee : for it is profitable lor thee 
that one of thy members should peiish, imd not 
that tin- w hole body bhould Ix- aist into hell. 

31 It hath been s;ud, "^Whosoever shall put

To avoid nuorldly care. CHAP, 

7 But when ye pray, ^ use not vain r^etitions, 
as the heathen do: =for they think tihat they 
shall be heard for their much speaking. 

8 Be not ye, therefore, like unto them : for 
your Father knoweth what things ye have need 
of, before ye ask him. 

9 After this manner, therefore, pray ye : 
*" Our Father which art in heaven ; Hallowed be 
thy name. 

10 Thy kingdom, come. ^Thy will be done 
in earthj ''as zV ?Wn heaven. 

1 1 Give us this day our daily bread. 

12 And forgive us our debts, as we forgive 
our debtors. 

-^ 13 And lead us not into temptation ; but de- 
liver us from evil : for thine is the kingdom, and 
the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen. 

14 ' For if ye forgive men their trespasses, 
your heavenly Father will also forgive you : 

15 But if ye forgive not men their trespasses, 
^ neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. 

16 H Moreover, when ye fast, ' be not as the 
hypocrites, of a sad countenance : for they disfi- 
gure their faces, that they may appear unto men 
to fast. Verily, I say unto you, they have their 
reward. 

17 But thou, when thou fiistest, "anoint thine 
head, and wash thy face ; 

18 That thou appear not unto men to fast, 
but imto thy Father ^\'hich is in secret ; and thy 
Father, which seeth in secret, shall reward thee 
openly. 

19 T|"Lay not up for yourselves treasures 
upon earth, where moth and rust doth corrupt, 
aiad where thieves break through, aiid steal : 

20 ° But lay up for yourseh es treasures in hea- 
ven, where neitlier moth nor rust doth coiTupt, 
and where thieves do not break through nor steal. 

21 For where your treasure is, there \vill your 
heart be also. 

22 H p The light of the body is the eye : if, 
therefore, thine eye be single, thy whole body 
shall be full of light. 

23 But if thine eye be evil, thy whole body 
shall be full of dai'kness. If, therefore, the light 
that is in thee be darkness, how great is that 
darkness ! 

_ 24 H *! No man can serve two masters ; for 
either he will hate the one, and love the other ; 
or else he will hold to the one, and despise the 
other. "■ Ye cannot serve God and mammon. 

25 Therefore I say unto you, ' Take no 
thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what 
ye shall drink ; nor yet for your body, what ye 
shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and 
the body than raiment ? 

26 "■ Behold the foM'Is of the air : for they sow 
not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns ; 
yet your heavenly Father feedeth them. Are j^e 
not much better than they .^ 

27 Which of you, by taking thought, can add 
one cubit unto his stature .-' 

28 And why take ye thought for raiment? 
"Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow : 
t]:iey toil not, neither do they spin :

VII. Rash judgment reproved. 8S9 

29 And yet I say unto you, ''That even Solo- coMiNi 

mon, in all his glory, was not arrayed like one of ^'j , 

these. 

30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of j^'^t 
the field, which to-day is, and to-morrow is cast 
into the oven, shall he not much more clothe you, 

ye of little faith? 

31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What 
shall we eat ? or. What shall w^ drink ? or, 
Wherewithal shall we be clothed ? 

32 (For after all these things do ''the Gentiles yi-'-i";" 
seek;) for your heavenly Father knoweth that"'^"' 
ye have need of all these things. 

33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and 

his righteousness ; ^ and all these things shall be z v%. ?: 
added uiito you. 

34 Take, therefore, no thought for the mor- 
row ; for the morro^v shall take thought for the 
things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the e\'il 
thereof.

1 Christ ending his sermon on the mount, reprove th

behold, a beam is in thine own eye ? 

5 Thou hj-TDocrite ! first cast out the beam out

6 ^ ^ Give not that which is holy unto the

Ikvoarc of false [Jvop/icts. 

14 !! Becmise sUiiit is -the gate, aiid narrow is 
the way, \\\\vA\ le-iClctli unto life, and few there 
l-e tkit find it. 

15 li ' iio ware of false prophct.s, which come 
to you in slieep's clotliing, but inwardly they are 
ravcnir.g wohes. 

16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. ''Do 
iTicu 5iiiher grapes oi' thorns, or figs of diistlesr 

17 Even St), e\ery good tree l^ringeth forth 
good fruit ; but a coirupt tree bjingeth foitli evil 
fruit. 

18 Aijnod tix-c cannot l>ringfoilh evil fruit, nei- 
tlier can a corrupt tree bring foilh good fruit. 

19 ' Kvery tiee that bringcth'uot forth good 
fruit, is he\vn do^n, and cast into the fire. 

iO Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know 
thcni. 

21 1j Not eveiy one that saith unto me, "' Lord, 
Lord, shall enter into die kingdom of heaven; 
" but he that doeth the will of my Father w hich 
is in heaven. 

22 Many will say to me in that day, Lord, 
Loril, ha\'e we not prophesied in thy name ? mvX 
in thy name have east out devils.' and in thy 
name done many wonderful m oiks ? 

23 And °dien will I profess unto diem, I ne- 
Acr knew you: depait from me, ye that work 
iniqi'.itj'. 

24 Tl Therefore ^ \\hosoc\er heareth these 
-sayings of mine, and doedi them, I will liken 
him unto a wise man, which built his house 
upon a rock : 

25 And die rain descended, and the floods 
came, and the w inds blew, and beat upon duit 
house ; ;md it fell not: for it was founded upon 
a rock. 

2() Ajid every one that heweth these sayings 
of n-ine, and doeth diem not, shall be likened 
unto a foolish man, which built his house upon 
the sand : 

27 And the rain descended, and the floods 
came, and the w inds iilew , and Ixat upon that 
house ; and it fell, and gieat was die fall of it. 

28 *I And it came to pass, when Jesus had 
enflcd ihese sajings, ^the people were astonished 
at his doctrine; 

29 ' P'or he taught them as one having autho- 
rity, and not as the scribes.

The cenfiir ion's servant healed. 



''And Jesus put foilli his liand, and touched 
saying, I w ill : be diou cle;ui. And imme- 



and offer the gift that = Moses commanded, for a 
testimony unto them. 

5 ^ '^And when Jesus was entered into Ca- 
ix^niaum, thcie came unto liim a centurion, be- 
seeching him, 

6 And saying, Lord, my servant liedi at home 
sick of die palsy, grievously tormented. 

7 And Jesus saith unto him, 1 w ill come and 
heal him. 

8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, 'I 
am not worthy that thou shouldcst come under 
my roof: but ^ speak the w(;rd only, and ^ly 
servant shall be healed : 

9 For I am a miui under authority', ha\'ing sol- 
diers under me ; and I .say to diis man. Go, and 
he goeth : and to another, Come, and he com- 
edi ; and to m}' servant, Do diis, and he dcjcth /'/. 

10 When Jesus heard it, he manelled, and 
saitl to them that f(>llo"i\ed, \'erily I saj- unto 
you, I ha\e not foiuid so great faith, no, not in 
Israel. 

1 1 And I say unto you, ^ that mimy shall come 
from the east and A\est, and shall sit down w ith 
.Vbraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in die kingdom 
ofhe;nen: 

12 But tlie children ''of the kingdom shall Ix- 
Gist out into ou'-er darkness : there shall be 
weeping and gnashing of teeth. 

• 13 And Jesus said unto die centiuion, Go thy 
way ; and a* thou hast believed, so Ix; it done 
unto thee. And his ser\aiit was healed in die 
self-same hour. 

14 1i ' And when Jesus was come into Peter's 
house, he saw his w ife's mother laid, and sick 
of a fcA er. 

15 And he touched her hand, and the fc\er 
left her : and she arose, and ministered unto them. 

16 It '' When the e\en was coine, they brought 
unto him many that were possessed with dcAils: 
and he cast out the spirits w ith his word, luid 
healed all diat w ere sick ; 

17 That it might be fulfilled w hich was spoken 
by PLsaiasthe prophet, .sii>'ing, ' Himself took our 
infirmities, and bare our sicknesses. 

18 iNow, when Jesus saw great multitudes 
about him, he gave commandment to depart unto 
the other side. 

19 ■" And a ceitain scrilje came, and said unto 
him, Master, I will follow thee W'hithersoe\ er 
diou goest. 

20 And Jesus saith unto liim, The foxes have 
holes, and the birds of the air have nests ; but 
die Son of man liath not where to lay his head. 

21 " And another of his disciples said unto him, 
Lord, sufler me fust to go and bur>' my father. 

22 But Jesus said unto him. Follow me; and 
let the dead bury their dead. 

23 t And w hen he w as entered into a ship, 
his disci|)les followed him. 

24 ° And, behold, there arose a great tem- 
pest in the sea, insomuch diat the ship was co- 
\'ered w idi the Ava\es : but he was asleep. 

25 And his disciples came to him, and awoke 
him, siiving, Lord, save us: we perish.

fill, O ye of little faith ? Tlien he arose, ^ and 
rebuked the winds and the sea ; and there was 
a gieat calm. 

27 But the men marvelled, saying, What man- 
ner of man is tliis, that e\en the ^^■inds aiid the 
sea obey him ! 

28 J\ ^ And when he was come to the other 
side, into the country of the Gergesenes, there 
met him two possessed with devils coming out 
of the tombs, exceeding fierce, so that no man 
might pass by that way. 

29 And, behold, ''they cried out, saying, ^^'hat 
have wc to do ^ith thee, Jesus, thou Son of 
God ? art thou come hither to torment us before 
the time ? 

30 And there was, a good way off from them, 
an herd of many swine feeding. 

31 So the devils besought him, saving. If 
thou cast us out, suffer us to go away into the 
herd of swine. 

32 And he boid unto them. Go. And when 
they were come out, they went into the herd of 
swine ; and, behold, the whole herd of swine ran 
violently down a steep place into the sea, and pe- 
rished in the AAaters. 

33 And they that kept them fled, and \vent 
their ways into the city, and told e^-erj* thing ; 
and what was befallen to the possessed of the 
devils. 

54 And, behold, the whole city came out to 
meet Jesus ; and, when they saw him, ' they 
besought /ihn that he would depart out of tlieir 
coasts.

AND he entered into a ship, and passed o^er, 
and came into his own city. 

2 * And, behold, they brought to him a man 
sick of the palsy, lying on a bed ; and Jesus, see- 
ing their faith, said unto the sick of the palsy, 
Son, he of good cheer ; thy sins b-e forgiven tliee. 

3 And, behold, certain of the scribes said 
within themselves. This ;?Z(^?7blasphemeth. 

4 And Jesus, ** knovving their thoughts, said, 
WTierefore think ye evil in your heaits .'' 

5 For Avhether is easier to say, Thy sins be 
forgiA^en thee ; or to say, Arise, and \valk ^. 

6 But that ye may know "^that the Son of man 
hath power on earth to forgive sins, (then saith 
he to the sick of the palsy,) Arise, talvC up th\' 
bed, and go unto tlrine hotise. 

7 r". nd he arose, and departed to his house. 

8 But \A hen the multitude saw it, they mar- 
A'elled, and glorified God M'liich had given such 
poAver unto men. 

9 Tf •* And, as Jesus passed forth from thence, 
he saw a man named rviattiiew, sitting at the re- 
ceipt of custom : and he saithi unto him, Follow 
me. And he arose, and followed him.

10 1[ And it came to pass, ^as Jesus sat at 
meat in the house, behold, many publicans and 
sinners came, and sat down \\ ith liim and his 
disciples. 

11 AndM'hen the Pharisees saw it, they said 
unto his disciples, ^Why eateth your Master 
with publicans and sinners ? 

12 But, when Jesus heard t/iat, he said unto 
them, The}' that be \a hole, need not a phj-sician, 
but they that are sick. 

13 But go ye and learn what that meaneth, 
^I Vvill ha^e mercy, and not sacrifice : for I am 
not come to call the righteous, ''but sinners to 
repentance. 

14 1[ Then came to liim the disciples of John, 
saying, ' AVh\' do we and the Phaiisees fast oft, 
but thy disciples fast not ? 

15 And Jesus said unto them, Can ^the chil- 
dren of die bride-chamber mourn, as long as the 
bridegroom is with them ? but the days Mill come 
Avhen the bridegroom shall be taken fi-om them, 
^ and then skill they fast. 

16 No man putteth a piece of U new cloth ub- 
to an old garment ; for that which is put in to 
fill it up taketh from the garment, and the rent is 
made xAorse. 

17 Neither do men put new wine into old 
bottles ; else the bottles break, and the A^ine run- 
neth out, and die bottles perish : but they put 
new ■wine into new bottles, and both are pre- 
sei'ved. 

18 IF ™ While he spake these things unto them, 
behold, there came a ceitain mler and Avorship- 
ped him, saying. My daughter is even now dead : 
but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she 
shall H\'e. 

19 And Jesus arose, and followed him, and so 
did his disciples. 

"20 IF (And, behold, ° a A\"oman, which was dis- 
eased witli an isstie of blood twelve years, carat 
behind /zfm, and touched the hem of his gainient: 

21 For she said widiin herself. If I may but 
touch his garment, I shall be whole. 

22 But Jesus turned him about ; and, when he 
saw her, he said. Daughter, be of good comfort ; 
° thy faith hath made thee wiiole. And the woman 
was made whole fi'om that hour.) 

23 TF And PA\"hen Jesus came into the ruler's 
hottse, and saw the mmstrels and the people 
making a noise, 

24 He said unto them, iGive place ; for the 
rnaid is not dead, but sieepeth. x\nd they laughed 
him to scorn. 

25 But AA'hen the people vrere ptit foith, he 
went in, and took her by the hand, and tlie 
maid ai'ose. 

26 And il the fame hereof went abroad into 
all that Iraid. 

27 IF And when Jesus departed thence, tAA-o 
blind men foiloAAcd him, cr\-ing, and saying, 
"■ Thou son of David, ha\'e mercy on us. 

28 And when he was come into the house, 
the blind men came to him : and Jesus saith un- 
•^o them. Believe ye that I am able to do this ? 
They said unto liim. Yea, Lord.

villages, teaching in tl.cir synagogues, and preach- 
ing the gospel of the kingdom, and healing even 
sickness, and ever>' disease, among the people. 

36 ^ y But wlien he saw the multitudes, he 
was mo\ ed with compassion on them, because 
they II fainted, and were scattered abroad, * as 
sheep having no shepherd. 

37 Then saith he unto his disciples, ''The 
har\est tiiily is plenteous, but the labourers are 
few : 

38 "^ Pray ye, therefore, the Lord of the hanest, 
that he will send foith labourers into his harvest,

AND * wl en he had called unto liim his twelve 
disciples, he gave them po%s er || against un-

2 Now the names of tlie twelve apostles are

of Israel. 

7 And as ye go, preach, saying, ^The king-

8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, n.ise the 
dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, 
freely give. 

9 « P o\ idc" neither gold, nor silver, nor bi-ass,

11 'And into wlvU?>ocver city or town ye sliall

12 And when ye come into an house, salute it. 

13 "^ And if the house be worthy, let your peace

14 'And whosoever shall not recci^■c you, nor

15 Verily I say imto you, "it shall be more 
tolerable for the land of Sodom and Gomonali

you up to the councils, and they will scourge 
you in their synagogues : 

18 And ye shiill be brought before ^govemors

them and the Gentiles. 

19 ""But when they deliver you up, take no

23 But w hen they persecute you in this cit>',

24 y The dibciple is not above his master, nor

have called the master of the house Beelzebub, 
how much more shall they call them of his house-

26 Fear them not, therefore : " for there is no-

0/t/ie breach of the sabbath^ 

CHAP. XII. 

Christ rcprovcth the bllrtdjiess of the Pharisees 
conctrnin-^ the breach of the sabbath, 3 by 
sciilJtiire, 10 by reason, \3 am/ br/ a miracle. 
22 He heciLth the man possessed that was 
blind and dumb. 31 Blasphemy ap[ainst the 
Holy Ghost s/iidl rwoer be forgiven. 36 ^c- 
cuun^gmLall be piade of idle words. 33 He re- 
biiketfBl/ie nnfaithfif who seek after a sign, 
49 and slieweth who is his brother, sister and 
viothcr. 

Al' that time ' Jcsiis ^^ ent on the sabbath-day 
tliiough tlie corn ; and his discip.cs were an 
liiUigejed, and btgan to pluck tlie eais of com, 
and to eat. 

2 But \; hen the P) i:u i.sjcs sa-\'.- it, they siiid un- 
to him, Behold, thy disciples do t!iat wfrich is not 
lawful to do upon the sabbath-d; y. 

,3 But he suid unto them, Hl;vc ye not read 
^\\\v\y Da\id did ^\'hcn he was an hungered, and 
tliey that were w idi iiim ; 

4 How he enteicd into the house of God, and 
did eat the * she^\-biead, ^^hich was not lawful 
for him' to eiit, neither for them A\'hich w ere with 
him, ^ but only for the priests ? 

5 Or luive ye not read in the ' law, how that 
on the si.bboth-daysthc priests in the temple pro- 
fane the sabbath, and are blameless .' 

6 But I say unto you, That in this place is one 
gie^tt r than tlie temple. 

7 But if ye kid known what this meaneth, ^I 
win ha\ e mercy, and not sacrifice, ye would not 
liave condemned the guiltless. 

8 For the Son of man is Lord even of the sab- 
bath-day. 

9 If 8 And ^^ hen he was departed thence, he 
went into ilitir synagogi:c; 

10 And i -chold, there was a man which had 
his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, 
^ Is it l:\v iul to hta.l on tlie siiblxidi-days t d\at 
they mighi accuse him. 

11 A.id he said unto them, What man shall 
there be among you, that shall have one sheep, 
' and if it fall into a pit on the sabl^atli-day, w ill 
he not lay hold on it, and lift // out ? 

12 How much then is a man better thm a 
sheep? whcreibrc it is lav\ful to do well on the 
sabbath-d.:ys. 

13 Then sajtli he to die man, Stretch forth 
tlunc haiKl. And he stretched it fortli; and it was 
restored whole, like as the other. 

14 1[ Then the Pharisees went out, and || held 
a council against him, huw they might destroy 
him. 

15 ^Biit when Jesus knew it, he m ithdrew him- 
self from thence : and great multitudes i'ollow cd 
him, and he healed them all ; 

16 And ch:,i-ged them that they should not 
m.ike him known ; 

17 Tliat it might be fulfilled wliich was spoken 
by Es.iias die prophet, saying, 

18 ' Behold my servant, vhom 1 have chosen; 
fc.ty beloved, " in whom my soul is well pleased : 
I \\ ill put my Spirit upon liim, and he sl^ shew

35 A good man, out of the good treasure of 
the heaJt, bringeth forth good things; and an evil 
man, out of the evil tieasure, bringeth Ibrth evil

36 But I say unto you, " That every idle word ».4,q. 
that men shall speak, they shall give account 
thereof in the day ofjiidgment.

and by thy words diou shalt be condemned.

41 The men of Nineveh shall rise in judg-

7 And some fell amoi\g thorns; and the tiionis 
sprung up, and choked tliera. 

8 But otiier fell into good giound, and brought 
forth fruit, some an hundi-ed^oid, some sixLy- 
fold, some thirtj'-fold. 

9 ' xv'ho hadi ears to hear, let him hear. 

10 % And the disciples cime, and said 
him, Why speakest thou unto theni in p^^ies 

11 He ans\vered, and said unto tiiem, Because 
it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the 
kingdom of heaven, but to ihem it is not gi^'cn. 

12 ^ For v»"hosoever hath, to him shail be giv- a a,ap. 
en, and he shall have more abund^aice : but Viho- M^^k 4. 2J. 
soever hath not, from him shall be taken a^way 

e^■en tliat he hath. 

13 Therefore speak I to them in pai'ables : be- 
cause thej' seeing, see not; and hearing, they 
heai- not; neitiier do they imdei stand. 

14 And in them is fululled the prophecy of 
Esaias, ^'>'hich saith, ^By heai'ing ye siiall hear, eisa.6.9. 
and shall not understand: and seeing ye shall see, lI^L t'.io! 
and shall not percei% e : _ ^°^' ^- ^?- 

15 For this people's heart is waxed gi-oss, and 
their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they 
liave closed: lest at any time they should see 
with their eyes, and hear %\ith th^ir ears, and 
should understand with thtir heait, and shoiud 
be converted, and I should heal tliem. 

16 But ^blessed are your eyes, for tiiey see; io.23;34. 
and yoiu- eai^s, for they near. 

17 For veriiy I say unto you, ^That many 
prophets and righteous men ha\e desiied to see 
those things Mhich ye see, and have not seen 
t/ieiu ; and to hear those things which ye heai-, and 
hsive not heard them. 

18 H Hear ye, therefore, the pai-able of tlie 
so'Vicr. 

19 When any one heareth ''the word of the ^Mart 
kingdom, and understaudeth i? not, then cometli "*■ ^^ 
the wicked one, and catcheth a\\"ay that v.hich 
was sown in his heart. Tliis is he which receiv- 
ed seed by the \^'ay side. 

20 But he that recei\ed the seed into ston.y 
places, the same is he that heareth tlie A\ord,^ 
and mi on ' with joy recei^•eth it : 

21 Yet hath he not root in himself, but dur- 
eth for a wliiie : for v.hen tiibulation or persecu- 
tion aiiseth, because of die \"i'ord, by and by 
^ he is oubnded. 

22 He also that received seed among the thorns, 
is he that heai-eth tlie v/ord; 'and the caie of this itTim.! 
world, and the deceitfidness of riches, cho.vc tlie 
word, and he becomedi unfruitfril._ 

23 But he that received seed into the good 
grouiid, is he that heareth the word, and under- 
standeth it; which alsobeareth fruit, and biingeth 
forth, some an hundied-fold, some sixty, some 
thirty. 

24 Tf " Another parable put he forth ur»to tliem, m ps. n. 2. 
saying. The kingdom of hea\'en is likeiied un.u

saying, ""The kmgdom of heaven is like to a 
grain of mustajd-seed, A\luch a man took and 
sowed in his field. ; 

32 Which indeed is the least of all seeds: 
but when it is grow n, it is the gi'eatest among 
herbs, and becometh a tree; so that the biids 
of the air come and lodge in the branches thereof. 

33 f "i Another paable spake he unto them ; 
The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, 
w hich a woman took, and hid in three * mea- 
sures of mciJ, till the whole w as leavened. 

34 ''All these things spake Jesus unto the 
multitude in parables; and without a parable 
.spake he not unto them : 

35 Tliat it might Ix; fulfflled w hich A\as spoken 
by the prophet, saying, ' I w ill open my mouth in 
parables ; I will utter things \\ hich have been 
kept secret from the foundation of the world. 

36 II Then Jesus sent tlie multitude away, 
and went into the house ; and his disciples came 
unto him, saying. Declare unto us the parable 
of the tares of the field. 

37 He iinswered, and said unto them. He tliat 
soweth the good seed, is the Son of man ; 

38 The field is the world; the good seed are 
the diildren of the kingdom ; but the tares are 
tlie children of the wicked one ; 

39 The enemy that sowed them is the devil ; 
* the harvest is the end of the world ; and the 
reapers are the angels. 

40 As therefore the tares are gathered and 
burned in the fire ; so sliall it be in the end of 
this world. 

41 The Son of man shall send forth his angels, 
and ihey shall gather out of his kingdom all 
II things that offend, and them which do iniquity ; 

42 And .shall cast diem into a furnace of fire; 
there sliall be wailing and gnashing of teeth. 

43 "Then shall the righteous shine forth as 
the sun in the kingdom of their lather. Who 
hath ears to hear, let him hear. 

44 11 Again, die kingdom of hea\cn is like unto

John Baptist beheaded. ' CHAP. 

9 ^ And the king a\ as sorrv" : nevertheless for 
the oath's sake, and them which sat witli him at 
meat, he commanded it to be ^wtn her. 

10 And he sent, and beheaded John in the 
prison. 

11 And liis head was brought in a charger, 
and given to the damsel : and she brought it to 
her mother. 

12 And his disciples came, 'and took up tlie 
body, and buried it, and went and told Jesus. 

13 H 8 When Jesus heai'd of it, he depaited 
thence by ship into a desert place apart : and 
\\ hen the people had heai-d thereof, they follo^ved 
him on foot out of the cities. 

14 And Jesus went forth, and saw a great 
multitude, and Avas mo\'ed ^\yith compassion 
towai-ds them, and he healed tlieir sick. _ . _ 

15 'And when it was evening, his disciples 
came to him, saying. This is a desert place, and 
tlie time is now past ; send the multitude away, 
tliat they may go into the villages, and buy them- 
sehes victuals. 

16 But Jesus said unto them, * They need 
not depart ; give ye tliem to eat. 

17 And they say unto him, We have here 
but five Ioa^ es and two fishes. 

18 He said, Bring tliem hither to me. 

19 And he commanded tlie multitude to sit 
doASTi on the grass, ' and took the fi\'e loa\^es and 
the two fishes, and looking up to hea-sen, he 
blessed, and brakcj and gave tlie loaACs to his 
disciples, and the disciples to tlie multitude. 

20 And they did all eat, and wtrt filled : and 
tliey took up of the tragments that remained, 
twelve baskets fiill. 

21 And diey that had eaten, were about five 
thousand men, beside \i'omen and children. 

22 If And sti-aighrway Jesus constrained his 
disciples to get into a ship, and to go before him 
unto the otlier side, while he sent the multitudes 
away. 

23 ■" And, when he had sent tlie multitudes 
a\\ay, he M'cnt up mto a mountain apait to pray : 
" and, when the evening was come, he was there 
alone. 

24 But die ship \;as now in the midst of the 
sea, tossed with wa\es : for the \\ind was conti-ary. 

25 And in the fourth watch of the night, Jesus 
w^ent unto them, ° walking on the sea. 

26 And when tlie disciples saw him ^-alking 
on tlie sea, they Mere tioubled, saymg, It is a 
spirit : and they cried out for fear. 

27 But sti-aiglit\\ay Jesus spake unto them, 
saying, Be of good cheer : it is I ; be not afraid. 

28 And Peter answered him, and said, Lord, if 
it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water. 

29 And he said, PCome. And when Peter 
was come down out of die ship, he walked on 
the water to go to Jesus. 

30 But when he saw the wind || boisterous, 
he was afraid; and, beginning to sink, he cried, 
saying, Lord, save me. 

31 And immediately Jesus stretched forth /lis 
hand, and caught him, and said unto liim, ^ O 
thou of little faidi ! Avherefore didst thou doubt .' 



XV. The scribes and Pharisees reproved. 847 

32 And \\'hen they were come into tlie ship, 
the A\ind ceased. 

33 Then they that Avere in die ship came and 
worshipped liini, saying, Of a ti-udi ""tliou ait ^ ci^p. 
the Son of God. 

34 ^ 'And when diey were gone over, they s Mark 
came into the land of Gemiesai-et. *• *^' 

35 And when the men of that place had know- 
ledge of liim, diey sent out into all that country 
round about, and brought unto him all tliat were 
diseased : 

36 And besought him that they might only 
touch the hem of liis garment : * and as many as * /^p^

3 Christ reprmieth the scribes and Pharisees for 
tra-nsgressing God''s commandment through 
tfieir oivn traditions; 10 teacheth ho\\j that 
'ivhich goeth into the mouth, doth not defile a 
man: 21 He healeth the daughter of a xcoman 
of Canaan, 30 and also great multitudes: 32 
and with seven loaves, and a fevj little fishes, • . 
feedeth four thousand men, beside zvomen ana 
children. 

THi:.N 'came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, a Mark?. i. 
which were of Jerusalem, saying, 

2 ''Why do thy disciples ti-ansgress the tra- bMark r.s.

hands Mlien thej* eat bread. 

3 But he answered, ^id said unto them. Why 
do ye also triuisgress die coninii.uidment of God, 
by your ti-adition ? 

4 For God commanded, saying, "^ Honour c^exj 
thy father and mother: and, '^ He that curseth Delias. i6. 
father or mother, let him die the death. 2i.^r7"'' 

5 But ye say, ^^'hosoever shall say to his fa- pfj;^^-^ 
ther or his mother, ^ It is a gift, by whatsoevei eMark' 
diou mightest be profited by me ; ''• "' ^^ 

6 And honour not his father or his mother,

9 But in vain they do worship me, teaching

10 "H s And he called the multitude, and said Vi^^ 
unto them, Hear and understand : 

11 ''Not that A\hicli goedi into th.e m.outh, hActs -

18 And I say also unto thee. That ""thou art

church, and the gates of hell shall not prevciil 
against it. 

19 ° And I will give unto thee the keys of the 
kingdom of hea\ en : and whatsoever thou slmit 
bind on earth, shall be bound in heaven; and 
\vii..i:soever thou siudt loose on eaith, shall be 
loosed in heaven. 

20 P Then charged he his disciples, that they 
should teU no inan that he A\as Jesus the 
Christ. 

21 1[ ^ From that time foith began Jesus to 
shew unto his disciples, ho\v that -he must go 
unto Jerusalem, and suffer many tilings of the 
eklere, and chief priests, and scribes, and be 
killed, and be raised again the third day. 

22 Then Peter took him, and began to rebuke 
Iiim, saying, Beit far from thee, Lord: tliis shall 
not be urto thee. 

23 But he tumed, and said unto Peter, ""Get 
thee behind me, S?<tan ; thou ait aii offence unto 
me : for thou sa\curest not the things that be of 
God, but those that be of men. 

24 Tl ^ Then said Jesus unto his disciples. If 
any 772an will come after me, let him deny him- 
self, and take up his cross, and foUoAv me. 

25 For whosoe%"er 'will sa\'e his life, shall lose 
it ; and whosoever will lose liis life for my sake, 
shall find it. 

26 For \\hat is a man profited, if he shall gain 
the whole world, and lose his own soul? or what 
shall a man gi^e in exchange for his soul ? 

27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory 
of his Father with his angels ; * and the» he shall 
reward e^'ery man according to his w orks.

Lord, it is good for us to be here : if thou w^Ut, 
let us make here three tabernacles ; one for thee, 
and one for Moses, and one for Elias. 

5 •= While he yet spake, behold, a bright

they saw no man, sa^/e Jesus only. 

9 And, as they came do« n from the moun-

to no man, until the Son of man be risen again 
from the dead. 

10 And his disciples asked him, saying, ^Whj' g^»p- 
then say the scribes, that Elias must first come r M^'pai, 

11 And Jesus answered, and said unto them, 
Elias truly shall first come, and restore all 
things. 

12 But I say imto you, that Elias is come al- 
ready, and they knew him not; but have done 
unto him Avliatsoe\-er they listed : likewise shall 
also the Son of man suffer of them. 

13 ^ Then the disciples understood that ht^cb^i-

they could not cure him.

him hither to me. 

18 And Jesus rebuked the devil, and he de- 
parted out of liim: and the child was cured fi-om 
that very hour. 

19 Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, 
and said, Whj- could not we cast him cut ? 

20 And Jesus said unto tliem. Because of 

your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, ^If ye iLuken.A 
have faith as a grain of mustard-seed, ye shall ^'^°'"-"-z. 
say unto this mountain, Remo-ve hence to yon-

1 Christ ivarneth his (/iscipks to be humble and 
harmless, 7 to a^oid offences, and not to despise 
the little ones: 15 teacheth /to\v vcc are to deal 
'with aur brethren ivhen they offend us. 21 aJul 
ho^v oft to forgi'ue them ; 23 -which he setteth 
forth by a parable of the king that took account 
of his servants, 32 and punished him who 
s?urcjed no mercy to his fellow. 

AT * the siime time came the disciples unto 
Jesus, .saying, Who is the greatest in the 
kingdom of heaven.'' 

2 And Jesus called a little child unto him, 
and set him in tlie midst of them, 

3 And said, Verily I say unto you, ''Ex- 
cept ye be converted, and become as little 
children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom oi 
heaven. 

4 Whosoever, " tlierefore, shall humble him- 
self as this little child, the same is greatest in 
the kingdom of heaven. 

5 ^And Avhoso shall receive one such little 
child in my name, recei\eth me. 

6 ' But w hoso shall offend one of these little 
ones which l)elie\e in me, it were better for 
him tlut a mill-stone were hanged about his 
neck, and that he were dro\\"ned in the depth of 
tlie sen. 

7 1 Woe imto the world *" because of offen- 
ces ! for it must needs be that offences come ; 
but woe to tliat man by whom the offence 
eometh ! 

8 « WHicrefore if thy hand or thy foot offend 
. thee, cut them off, cuid cast them from thee : it 

is better for thee to enter into life halt ov maimed, 
rather than ha\ iiig two himds, or two feet, to be 
ciibt into everlasting iivc. 

9 And if thine eye offend thee, pluck it out, 
and cast it from thee : it is better for thee to en- 
ter into life w irh one eye, rather than ha^•ing two 
eyes to be cast into hell-lire. 

' 10 11 Take heed that ye despise not one of 
these little ones: for I si\y unto you, That in 
hea\en '^tl^.eir angels do always behold the face 
of my Father which is in heaven. 

1 1 ' For die Son of man is come to save that 
which w as lost. 

12 liow think yc ? '' If a man have an hundred

"■^■*"not leave the ninety and nine, and got:th into 
the mountains, ajid seckcth that which is gone 
astray ? 

13 And if so be that he find it, verily I say 
unto you. He rcjoicedi more of tliat sheep, 
than of tlie ninety and nine which went not 
astray, 

14 E\en so it is not the will of your Fatlier 
which is in hea\'en, that one of these little ones 
should perish. 

1 5 Ti MortoN er, ' if thy brother shall trespass 
against thee, go and tell him his fault l)et\\cen 
thee and him alone : if he shall hear thee, *" thou

17 And if he shall neglect to hear tliem, tell t 
unto the chinrh : but if he neglect to hear the 
church, let him be unto thee as iui "heathen ^'^cor. 59. 
man and a publican. 3. u."*' 

18 Verily I say unto you, ^ Whatsoever ye pj"hii 
shall bind on eaiih, shall be bound in heaven; fc^r.s.*. 
and w hatsoever ye sluill loose on earth, shall be 
loosed in heaven. 

19 Again I say unto you, "iThat if two ofnch^p- 
you shall agree on earth as touching any thing '" 
that they shall ask, it shall be done for tiiem of 

my Father w hich is in hea\en. 

20 For w here tw o or three are g-athered to- 
gedier in my name, "^diere am 1 in the midst oi'^^^^^r 
them. 

21 H Then aime Peter to him, and said. Lord, 
how oil shall my brother sin against me, ajid I 
forgi\ e him .' ' till se\ en times .'

23 Therefore is the kingdom of heaven likened ^^x*. 
unto a certain king, \vhich w ould take account 

of his serxants. 

24 And when he had begun to reckon, one 
was brought unto liim which owed Iiim ten

25 But foiusmuch as he had not to pay, his of >?!""',"

1 Christ healeth the sick : 3 ansivereth the Pha- 
risees concerning divorcement : 10 she%veth vjhcn 
inarriage is necessary .-13 recei'ueth little chil- 
dren .-16 instructeth the young man ho-iv to at- 
tain eternal life, 20 ana hmv to be perfect : 
23 telleth his disciples how hard it is for a rich- 
man to enter into the kingdom of God .-29 and 
promiseth re%vardto those that J or sake any thing 
tofollo%v him. 

AND it came to pass, "^ that, when Jesus had 
finished these sayings, he departed from 
Galilee, and came into the coasts of Judea, be- 
yond Jordan : 

2 ^ And great multitudes followed him, and 
he healed them there. 

3 1i The Phaa isees also came unto him, tempt- 
ing him, and saying unto him, Is it la^\iul for a 
man to put aAvay his wife for e\'ery cause ? 

4 And he answered, and said unto them, Have 
ye not read, '^ that he which made them at the 
beginning, m.ade them male and female ; 

5 And said, ^ For this cause shall a man leave 
father and mother, and shall cleave to his wife ; 
and * they twain shall be one flesh ; 

6 Wherefore they are no more twain, but one 
flesh. What, tlierefore, God hath joined together, 
let not man put asunder. 

7 They say unto liim, ^ Why did Moses then 
command to give a ^mring of divorcement, and 
to put her away ? 

8 He saith unto them, Moses, because of the 
hardness of your hearts, suffered you to put 
away your wives : but from the beginning it was 
not so. 

9 ^ And I say unto you, WTiosoever shall put 
aw^y his wife, except it be fox fornication, arid 
shiill many another, committeth adultery ; and 
\vhoso marrieth her which is put a%\'aj% doth 
commit adulterj% 

10 His disciples say unto him, '^ If the case of 
the man be so with his Avife, it is not good to 
many. 

?.^?^/' 1 1 -^"^ ^^ ^^^ ^^^° tliem, ' x\ll 7nen cannot re- 
ceive this saying, save they to whom it is given.

aie some eunuchs, Avhich were made eunuchs 
of men : and there be eunuchs, a\ liich ^ve made 
themseh'es eunuchs for the kingdom of heaven's 
sake. He that is able to receive iu, let him re- 
cei\ e it.

and pray : and the disciples rebuked them, 

1 4 ' But Jesus said, Si^ffer little children, and 
forbid them not, to come unto me : for of such 
is the kingdom of heaven. 

15 And he laid his hands on them, and depart- 
ed thence.

God : but if tliou wilt enter into life, keep tlie 
commandments. 

18 He saidi unto liim, Which? Jesus said, 
" Thou shalt do no murder, Thou shalt not com- 
mit adulteiy, Thou shalt not steal, Thou shaii 
not bear false witness, 

19 Honour thy father and thy mother : and, 
Thou shalt lo\e thj" neighbour as thyself. 

20 The j'oung man saith unto him, All these 
things ha^e I kept from mv youth up : \\ hat kck 
I yet ?

22 But Avhen the young man heard that say-

possessions. 

_ 23 1| Then said Jesus unto his disciples, p Ve- 1^^- 
rily I say unto you, That a rich man shall hardly J^^ 
enter into the kingdoin of heaven. 

24 And again I say unto ycu. It is easier for 
a camel to go tln'ougli the eye of a needle, than 
for a rich man to eriter into the ^kingdom of 
God. 

25 When his disciples heaixl it, they M-ere 
exceedingly amazed, saying, ^\'ho then can be 
saAcd .'' 

26 But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, 
With men this is impossible : ^ but with God ail q^uke 
things are possible. ^' ^^' 

_ 27 TI "" Then answered Peter, and said unto i^^^^ 
him, Behold, we have forsaken all, and followed Luk^i8.23. 
thee ; a\ hat shall we have therefore .'' 

28 And Jesus said unto tliem, \"erily I say un- 
to you. That ye which have followed me, in the 
regeneration, when the son of man shall sit on the 
throne of his giory, ' ye also shall sit upon tv'.eive 
throp-cs, judging the twehe tribes of Israel, 

29 And everyone that hath forsaken houses,

11 And the multitude said, This is Jesus the 
prophet, of Nazareth of Galilee. 

12 TF And Jesus went into the temple of God, 
and cast out all them that sold and bought in the 
temple, and o^-erthrew the tables of the money- 
changers, and the seats of them that sold doves, 

13 And said unto them, It is written, ' My 
house shall be called the house of prayer : ^ but 
ye have made it a den of thieves. 

14 And the blind and the lame came to him 
in the temple ; and he healed them. 

15 T[ And u'hen the chief priests and scribes 
saAv the wonderful things that he did, and the chil- 
dren crying in the temple, and saying,_ ' Hosanna 
to the son of DaAid ; they Mere sore displeased, 

16 And said unto him, Hearest thou ^i-hat 
these say ? And Jesus saith unto them. Yea ; have 
ye never read, '" Out of the mouth of babes and 
sucklings thou hast perfected praise ?

city into Bethany ; and he lodged there. 

18 No'w in the morning, as he returned into 
the citj', " he hungered. 

19 ° And when he saw a fig-tree in the way, he 
came to it, and found nothing thereon, but leaves 
only ; and said unto it, Let no fruit grow on thee 
henceforwai'd for e^^er. And presently the fig- 
tree withered away. 

20 And when the disciples saw it, p they mar- 
\elled, saying, How soon is the fig-tree withered 
away ! 

21 Jesusanswered, and said unto them, Verily 
I say unto you, If ye haA-e faith, and doubt not, 
ye shiiU not only do this ivhicA is done to the fig- 
tree, but also, if ye shall say unto this mountain. 
Be thou remoA^ed, and be thou cast into the sea ; 
it shall be done. 

22 And all things ^ whatsoever ye sludl ask in 
prayer, believing, ye shall receive.

came unto him, as he was teaching, and said, 
^ By what authority doest thou these things ? and 
who gave thee this authority ?

I also will ask you one thing, which if ye teh me, 
I in like wise will tell you by what authority I do 
these things. «r

saith unto them. Verily I say unto you, " that the ^^^~^^ 
publicans and the haiiots go into the kmgdom of 7.22, 30. 
God before you. 

32 For *John came unto you in the way ofxcii.-ip,

publicans and the harlots belie^^ed him : and ye, 
\v\\e.\\ 5'e had seen it, repented not afterward, that 

ye might believe hirn. 

33 *1[ Hear another parable ; There v.as a cer- 
tain householder ^ vvhich planted a vineyard, and jisaiah 
hedged it round about, and digged a wine-press j"erem.2.2i, 
in it, and built a tow'cr, and let it out to husband- Lute ^^' '" 
men, ^ and Avent into a far country. _ ^^'cL-, 

34 And 'when the time of the fruit drew near, 25.14,15. 
he sent his servants to the husbandmen, ^ that g, if"i^, 
they might receive the fruits of it. 

35 And the husbandmen took his servants, and 
beat one, and kiUed another, and stoned another. 

36 Again he sent other servants more than the 
first : and thej' did unto them likewise. 

37 But last of all he sent unto them his son, 
saying. They will reverence my son. 

p 8 But when the husbandmen saw the son, they 
said among themselves, This is the heir ; ^ come, \^\'^'^- 
let us kill him, and let us seize on his inheritance, joi'nii, 

39_ And they caught him, and cast hipi out of 
the vinej'ard, and slew him. 

40 When the lord, therefore, of the vineyard 
Cometh, what will he do unto those husbandmen ? 

41 They say unto him, *= He will miserably c Luke 
destroy those wicked men, and will let out his ^^'^' 
vineyard unto other husbandmen, Avhich shall 
I'ender him the fruits in their seasons. 

42 Jesus saith unto them. Did ye never read 
inthe scriptures, ^ The stone Avhich the l:)uilders ^ Psaima 
rejected, the same is become the head of the cor- Acw^4.'n. 
per : this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous 

in our eyes ? 

43 Therefore say I unto you. The kingdom o£ 
God shall be taken from you, and given to a na- 
tion bringing forth the fruits thereof. 

44 And whosoever ^ shall fall on this stone, | ^f^^^ 
shall be broken; but on AAhomsoever it shall KOpm.^^-'ss.

45 And Avhen the chief priests and Pharisees *'»^-2-«-

28 Therefore, in the resuncction, whose wife 
skill she be of the seven ? for they all had her. 

29 Jesus answered, and said unto them, Ye

power of God. 

30 For in the resurrection, they neitlier nwr-

37 Jesus said unto him, *' Thou slialt love the 
Lord thj' God w ith all th\- heart, and widi all

38 This is the first and gre;;t commandment.

the law and the prophets.

1 T//e parable of the ten 'oirgins,^ 14 and of the 
talents. 31 Also the description of the last 
judg7ne?it. 

THEN shall the kingdom of heaven be lilv- 
ened unto ten virgins which took their 
lamps, and went forth to meet the * bridegroom. 

2 ^ And ^\t of them were wise, and five nvere 
foolish. 

3 They that %vej-e foolish took their lamps, 
and took no oil with them : 

4 But the ^^■i3e took oil in their vessels with 
their lamps. 

5 While the bridegroom tarried, '^they all 
slumbered and slept. 

6 And at midnight there was a "^ciy made, 
Behold, the bridegroom cometh ; go ye out to 
meet him. 

7 Then all those virgins arose, * and trimmed 
their lamps. 

8 And the foolish said unto the wise, Give 
us of your oil ; for our lamps are |i gone out. 

9 But the wise ans^-ered, saj'ing. Not so ; 
lest there be not enough for us and you : but 
go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for 
yourseh'es. 

10 And while they went to buy, the bride- 
groom came ; and they that were ready, m ent in 
with him to the mairiage : ^and the door ^^•as shut. 

If After^'ard Cc^me also the other ^-irgins, 
s saying, Lo^d, Lord, open to us. 

12 But he answered and said, Verily I say 
unto you, I knoAv j^ou not. 

13 ''Watch, therefore; for ye know neither 
, the day nor the hour \\ herein the Son of man 

cometh. 

14 If ' For the kingdo?n of heaijen is as a man 
travelling into a far country, who called his own 
ser^'ants, and delivered unto them his goods. 

15 And unto one he gave five * talents, to 
another two, and to another one ; ^ to every man 
according to his several abilitj^ ; and straightway 
took his journey. 

16 Then he that had received the five talents 
went and traded ^vith the same, and made them 
other fi-\^e talents. 

17 And likewise he lihsi had received two, he 
also gained other two. 

18 But he that Jiad received one, went and 
digged in the earth, and hid his lord's money. 

19 After a long time tlie lord of those servants 
cometh, and reckoneth with them. 

20 And so he that had received five talents 
came, and brought other five talents, saying, 
Lord, thou deliveredst unto me five tiilents: 
behold, I have g-ained besides them five talents 
more. 

21 His lord said unto him, Well done, thou 
good and faithful servant ; thou liast been faith- 
ful o\ipr a te^v things, ' I will make thee ruler 
over -mrj-iy things : enter thou into " the joy of 
thv lord.

22 He also that had received two talents e^STini 
came, and said, Lord, thou deliveredst unto me ^J^ 
tno talents : behold, I have gained two other 
talents besides them. 

23 His lord said unto him, "Well done, good " verse 21. 
and faithful servant , thou hast been faithful over 

a fcAV things, I ^\ ill make thee ruler over many 
things : enter thou into the joy of thy lord. 

24 Then he which had received, the one ta- 
lent came, and said. Lord, I knew thee that 
thou art an liard man, reaping where thou hast 
not sown, and gathering where thou hast not 
strawed ; 

25 And I was afraid, and went and hid thy 
talent in the eartli: lo, there thou hast that is 
thine. 

26 His lord answered, and said unto him, 
° Thou Mickedand slothful servant, thou knewest 
that I reap where I sowed not, and gather where 
I have not strawed ; 

27 Thou oughtest therefore to have put my 
money to the exchangers, and then at my coming 
I should haA-e received mine o\mi with usuiy. 

28 Take, therefore, the talent from him, and 
give it unto him which hath ten talents. 

29 ppor unto every one that hath, shall be p chap, 
given, and he shall have abundance: but from ^,^^^^-4 ,5^ 
him that hath not, shall be taken away e\en that ^uke 8. 1/. 
which he hath. 

30 And cast ye the unprofitable ser^'-aiit into 
outer darkness : there shall be seeping and 
gnashing of teeth. 

31 ^[ "^When the Son of man shall come inqActsi.n, 
his glorj% and all the holy angels \\-ith him, then J.^^f *• 
shall he sit upon the throne of his glorj' : 

32 '^ And before him shall be gathered all na- rRom. 
tions ; and he shall ' separate them one from "• ^''• 
another, as a shepherd divideth his sheep from is. 49!" 
the goats : 

33 And he shall set the sheep on liis light 
hand, but the goats on the left. 

34 Then shall the king say unto them on his 
right hand, Come, ye blessed of mj' father, in- 
herit the kingdom prepared for you tiom the •

Christ eatcth the passovcr: 26 institutcth /lis 
holy supper: 36 prayeth in the garden: 47 
and being betrayed with a kiss, 57 is carried to 
Caiaphas, 69 and denied of Peter. 
ND it came to pass, vA\cw Jesus had finished 
all these s;iyings, he said unto his dis- 
ciples, 
aMaik 2 * Ye know that after two days is the feast of 

Luki 22.1. the jiassoAer, Jind the Son of man is betrayed to 
be crucified. 

3 ^ '' Then assembled together the chief priests, 
and the sciibes, luid the elders of tlie people, unto 
the palace of the high priest, \\ ho was called 
Caiaphas ; 

4 And consulted that they nwght take Jesus 
by subtilty, and kill him. 

5 But they said, Not on the feast-rA/y, lest 
there be an uproar among the people. 

6 U "Now, \\\\cx\ Jesus was in Bethany, in the 
house of Simon the leper, 

7 There came imto him a woman, having an 
alabaster box of \eiy precious ointment, luid 
ponied // on his head, as he sat ai meat. 

8 ''But when his disciples saw it, Uiey had 
indignation, sijying, To what purpose is tliis 
waste ? 

9 For this ointment might have been sold for 
much, and give n to the jxx^r.

them, W liy trouble ye tiie w(;man : lor she hath 
wrought a gcxxl \vf)rk. upon mc. 

1 1 * For ye have the poor alw ays m ith you ; 
•^but me yt have not al^^ays.

17 H 'Now, die first day oi' the feast of nnk-d

unt(j him. Where w ilt thou dut we prepare for 
thee to eat the passover r 

18 And he said, Go into the city to such a 
man, and say unto him. The Master saith, ''My 
time is at hand ; I \\ ill keep the passo>er at thy 
hou.ie with my disciples. 

19 And the disciples did as Jesus had appoint- 
ed them ; and they made ready the passover. 

20 'Now, \\hen the even was come, he sat 
downi w ith the twelve. 

21 And as they did eat, he said. Verily I say 
unto jou, that one of ycni shall Ix-'tray me. 

22 -\nd they were exceeding sorrc^wlul, and 
began every one of them to savunto lum, Lord, 
is it 1 ? 

23 And he answei-ed and said, '" He that dlp- 
pedi his hand wiUi me in the dish, the same shall 
betray me. 

24 The Son of man^^oeth, as it is written of 
him : but woe imto diat man by whom the Son 
oi' mim is betrayed ! it had been good lor that 
uKm, if he had not been bom. 

25 Then Judas, which betiaved him, answer- 
ed and said, Master, is it I ? I-le siiid unto him. 

Thou hast said. 

26 II And, as they were eating, " Jesus took 
iiread, and || blessed it, and brake //, and gave it 
to the disciples, and said. Take, eat ; this is my 
bod\'. 

27 And he took the cup, and gave thanks, 
imd gave it to them, saying. Drink ye all of it: 

28 For this is my blocKl of the new testiUiKnt, 
w hich is shed for m:uiy for the remission of sins. 

29 But I say unto jou, 1 will not drink hence- 
forth of tiiis fruit of the vine, until that day 
\\ hen I drink it new w ith you in my Fadier's 
kingdom. 

30 li And ^\hen they had sung an || hymn, 
they w ent out into die mount of Olives. 

31 Then saith Jesus -tmto them, "All ye shall 
be ofilnded because of me this night: lor it is 
written, pJ will smite the Shepherd, and die 
sheep of the flock shall Ix' scattered abroad. 

32 But iifter I am risen again, '^ I will go before 
you into Galilee. 

33 Peter answered, ;md said unto him, Though 
all men shall be oflended because of thee, yet 
will I ne\ er be oflended. 

34 Jesus said unto him, 'Wrily I say unto 
thee, Tliat this night, before die cock crow, 
thou shalt deny me dirice. 

35 Peter said unto him, Though I should die 
with thee, yet will 1 not deny thct. Likewise 
also said all the disciples. 

36 H ' Then cometh Jesus with them unto a 
place called Gethseniiuie, and siiitli unto the dis- 
ciples. Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder. 

37 And* he took with him Peter, 'and the 
two sons of Zebedee, iuid began to be sonowful,

39 And he went a little further, and fell on his 
face, "" and praj'ed, saying, O my Father, if it 
be possible, let this cup pass from me : neAcrthe- 
less, not as I will, but as tliou %mlt. 

40 And he conieth unto tlie disciples, and 
findetlithem asleep, and saithunto Peter, What! 
could ye not Match ^^ith me one hoiu- ? 

41 * Watch and pray, tliat ye enter not into 
temptation : the spirit indeed is willuig, but the 
fle.-jh is \\eak. 

42 He Avent away again the second time, and 
prayed, saying, O my Father, if this cup may 
not pass a\\-ay from me, except I drink it, thy 
will be done. 

43 And he came and found th?m asleep 
again : for their eyes were heaAy. 

44 And he left them, and went away again, 
and prayed the third time, saying the same \^.'ords. 

45 Then cometh he to his disciples, and saitli 
imto them. Sleep on now, and take ijour rest : 
behold, y the hour is at hand, and the Son of man 
is betrayed into the hcUids of sinners. 

46 Rise, let us be going : behold, he is at 
hand tlrat doth betray me. 

47 If And ^ \\ hile he yet spake, lo, Judas, one 
of the tA\"eh'e, came, and A\ith him a great multi- 
tude, with swords and staves, from the chief 
priests and elders of tlie people. 

_ 48 NoAv he that betrayed him, gave them a 
sign, saying, Whomsoe\'er I shall kiss, that same 
is he ; hold him fast. 

49 And forthwith he came to Jesus, and said, 
Hail, Master ; ^and kissed him. 

50 And Jesus said unto him. Friend, A\"here- 
fore art thou come ? Then came they, aird laid 
hands on Jesus, and took him. 

51^ And, behold, one of them which were 
with Jesus stretched out his hand, and drew his 
sword, and struck a servant of the high priest's, 
and smote off his ear. 

52 Then said Jesus unto him, Put up again 
thy SAVord into his place : ^ for all they that take 
the sword, shall perish M'ith the sAAord. 

S2> Thinkest thou that I cannot no\v pray to 
my Father, '^ and he shall presently give me 
more than twelve legions of angels I 

54 But how then shall ^ the scriptures be ful- 
filled, that thus it must be ? 

55 In that same hour said Jesus to the multi- 
tudes, Are 5 e come out, as against a thief, with 
s\yords and sta^s es for to take me ? I sat daily 
with you teaching in tlie temple, iuid ye laid no 
hold on me. 

^^ 56 But all this was done, that the 'scriptures 

veT.M. of the prophets might be fulfilled. Then all the 

disciples forsook him, and fled. 
W^it 57 U ^And they that had laid hold on Jesus, 
i.i.ke22.s4.1ed him away to Caiaphas the high priest, where

63 ' But Jesus held his peace. And the high 'isa. 53. t.

did value, 

10 And ga\'e them for the potter's field, as the 
Lord appointed me.) 

1 1 H And Jesus stood before the governor ; 
2 and the gOAemor asked him, saying, Art thou 
the King of the Jew s ? And Jesus said unto him, 
*" Thou sayest. 

12 And A\hen he was accused of the chief 
priests and elders, he answered nothing. 

13 Then saith Pilate unto him, Hearest tliou 
not how man\ things dK>- w itness against thee ? 

14 And he answered him to i\e\cr a word : in- 
somuch that the governor mar\ elied gi'Cady. 

15 1i 'Now at t/iat feast the governor was wont 
to release unto the people a prisoner, w horn they 
would. 

16 .Vnd d\ey had then a notable prisoner, call- 
ed J^anibbas. 

1 7 Therefore, w hen they w ere gathered toge- 
ther, Pilate said unto them, •' Whom will ye that 
I release unto you ? B:uabba.s, or Jisus, \\hidi is 
called Christ ? 

18 For he knew tliiit for envy they iKiddeliv- 
creil him. 

19 % Wlicn he was set down on the judgment- 
seat, his w ife sent unto him, sa\'ing, Have thou 
nothing to do with that just man : fijr 1 have suf- 
fered many things this day in a dream' because of 
him. 

20 H ' But the chief priests and elders per- 
suaded the multitude that they should ask Ba- 
rabbas, and destroy Jesu.s. 

21 The goAxnior answered, and i^d unto 
them, Whcllier of the twiiin will je that! release 
unto you r They said, Bi'rabbas. 

22 Pilate saitJi unto them, ANhat shall I do 
then widi Jesus, yhich is called Christ r T/icy all 
.s;iy unto him. Let him l)e crucified. 

23 And die govenior said, W'hy, what evil 
liath he done .' But thc^- cried out the more, say- 
ing. Let h'lm b<' crucified. 

24 H When PiUite saw that he could prevail no-

26 Then released he Barabb::s unto dicm ; 
and, ^\ hen he had sconrgcd Jesus, he delivered S-^w!""

27 ^\ Then ° the soldiers of the governor took ojohnw.x. 
Jesus into the |i common hall, and gathered un- jor. 

to him the w hole band of soldiers. i««?^' 

28 And they stripped him, and put on him a 
p scarlet robe. 

29 1 And when they had platted a crown of 
thonis, they put it upon his head, and a reed in 
his right hand ; and they bow ed tlie knee before 

him, "litnd mocked him, saying. Hail, king of3»''ao"Vi. 
the Jew s ! 

30 *■ And they spit upon him, and took thC"«i^

31 And after that they had mocked liim, 
they took the robe off from him, ;md put his

47 Some of them that stood there, "sylien they 
heard that^ said, This man calleth for Elias. 

48 .\nd str^iightway one of them ran, and took 
a spunge, ^ and filled it mth \"inegai-, and put it 
on a reed, and ga\e liim to drink. 

49 Tlie rest said, Let be, let us see whether 
Elias "will come to save him. 

50 1i Jesus, ^ when he had cried again with a 
loud voice, yielded up the ghost. 

51 And, behold, *' the vail of the temple was 
rent in tu'ain, fiom the top to the bottom ; raid 
the earth did quake, and the rocks rent, 

52 And the graves Mere opened, and many 
bodies of the saints which slept, arose, 

53 And came out of the graves after his re- 
surrection, and went into the holj^ city, and ap- 
peared unto many. 

54 Now, s when the centurion, and they tliat 
were ^\ ith him, watching Jesus, saAv the earth- 
quake, and those things that were done, they 
feared greatly, saving. Truly this was the Son of 
God. 

55 And ^manj" women were there, beholding 
afar oft", ^\"hich followed Jesus from Galilee, mi- 
nistering unto him : 

56 Among which was Mary Magdalene, and 
Mary the mother of James and Joses, and the 
mother of Zebedee's children. 

57 1[ ' When the e-\'en was come, there came 
a rich man of Arimathea, named Joseph, who 
also himself was Jesug' disciple : 

58 He went to Pilate, and begged the body of 
Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be 
delivered. 

59 And when Joseph had tal^en the body, he 
wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, 

60 '^ And laid it in Iris o^n new tomb, which 
he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a 
great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and de- 
parted. 

61 And there was Marj' Magdalene, and the 
other Mary sitting over against the sepulchre. 

62 •[[ Now, the next day that follo^^'ed tlie day 
of the preparation, the chief priests and Phaii- 
sees came together unto Pilate, 

63 Saying, Sir, we remember that th.^t de- 
ceiver said, while he was yet alive, ^ After thi-ee 
days I will rise again. 

64 Command, tlierefore, that the sepulchre 
be made sure until the third daj^ lest his disci- 
ples come by night and steid him away, and say 
unto the people, He is risen from the dead : so 
the last error shall be worse dian the first. 

65 Pilate said unto them. Ye have a watch; go 
your "way, make it as sure as j^e can. 

66 So they went and made the sepulchre sure, 
" sealing the stone, and setting a watch.

Christ appeareth to his disciples, 19 and sendeth 
thc?n to baptize, and teach all nations. 
N the *end of the sabljath, as it began to cl.l^vn 
toward the first day of tire Aveek, came Mary 

Ma:, lalene, ^id the other Mary, to see the se- 

puichre. 

2 Andj behold, there || was a great earthquake: 
*" for the angel of the Lord descended fi-om hea- 
ven, and came and rolled back the stone from 
the door, and sat upon ir. / _ 

3 ^ His countenance was like lightning, and his 
raiment white as sno\v. 

4 And for fear of him the keepers did shake, 
and became as dead men. 

5 And the angel ans\^ered, and said un.to the 
women, Fear not ye; for I know that ye seek Je- 
sus, which Avas cnicrfled. 

6 He is not here; for he is risen, "^as he said. 
Come, see the place where the Lord lay ; 

7 And go quickly, and tell his disciples, that 
he is risen from the dead; and, behold, he goeth 
before 3'ou into Galilee ; there shall ye see him : 
lo, I have told 3'ou. 

8 And they depaited quickly from the sepul- 
chi-e, with fecu- iind great joy; and did rim to 
bring his disciples word. 

9 TI And, as they went to tell his disciples, 
^ behold, Jesus met them, saj'ing. All hail. And 
they came, and held him by the feet, and vror- 
shippedhim. 

10 Then said Jesus unto them, Be not afraid : 
go tell ^ my brethren, that they go into Giililee, 
and there shall they see m.e. 

11 T[ Now, \A^hen they were going, behold, 
some of the watch came into the city, and 
shewed imto the chief priests ail the things that 
were done. 

12 And when they were assembled with die 
elders, and had taken counsel, they gaA e large 
sums cf money unto the soldiers, 

_ 13 Saying, Say je. His disciples came by 
night, and stole him aivay while we slept. 

14 And il'this come to the governor's ears, we 
will persuade him, and secure you. 

15 So they took_ the money, and did as they 
were taught : and this sajang is commonly report- 
ed among the Jews until this day. 

16 '^ Then the eleven disciples went awaj' in- 
to Galilee, mto a mountiun '''where Jesus had ap- 
pointed them. 

17 And when they saw him, they worshipped 
him : but some doubted. 

18 "(n^nd Jesus came, and spake unto them, 
saying, All power is given unto me in heaven 
and in eai1:h. 

19 '^Go ye, therefore, and teach all nations, 
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of 
the Son, and of the Holy Ghost ; 

20 Teacliing them ' to observe all things what- 
soever I have commanded you : and, lo, I am 
with you alway, evefi unto the end of the world.

The office of John the Baptist. 9 .7^.??/^ is bap- 
tized, 12 tempted: 14 /le preacheth, 16 caUetli 
Peter, Andrew, fames, and John : 23 healcih 
one that had a devil, 29 Peter'' s mother-in-Lnv, 
32 nuviy diseased persons : 41 and cleanscth the 
leper. 

THE beginning of tlie gospel of Jesus 
Christ the Son of God; 
2 As it is written in the prophets, 
* Behold, I send my messenger before tliy face, 
wliicli shall pi-epure thy way before thee. 

3 "^ The voice of one ciying in the w ildemess, 
Picpaie ye the way of the Lord, make his patiis 
sti"aight. 

4 "^ John did baptize in the wilderness, and 
preach the baptism of repentance, || for tlie re- 
mission of sins. 

5 ^ .Vnd there went out unto him all the land 
of Judea, iuid they of Jerusalem, and were all 
baptized of him in the river of Jordiui, confess- 
ing th.eir sins. 

6 And John was "^ clothed with camels' hair, 
and w ith a girdle of a skin about Iiis loins ; and 
he did eat locusts and \vild honey; 

7 And preached, siiying. There comedi one 
mightier tlVui I after me, the latchct of whose 
shoes I am not worthy to stoop down and un- 
loose. 

8 ^\ indeed ha\e baptized you with water: but 
he shall baptize you ^ with the Holy Gho.st. 

9 \ And it came to pass in those days, ^ that 
Je->us came from Nazcueth of G;\lilee, and was 
baptized of John in Jordan. 

10 And ' straightway, coming up out o the 
water, he su^\ the hea\ ens j| opened, and the Spi- 
rit, like a dove, descending upon him : 

1 1 And '' there came a \ oice from heaven, 
saying. Thou ail my beloved Son, in whom i 
am well pleased. 

12 ^1 ' And inmiedialely the spirit driveth him 
into the wildeniess. 

13 And he was there in the w ildemess forty 
days, tempted of Satiin; and was with the wild 
beasts; •" iuid the angels ministered unto hini. 

14 •{[ Now, "after diat John was put in prison, 
Jesus came into Galilee, i)reaehins the gosiJel of 
tlie kingdom of God, 

15 And s;iying, " Tlu- time is fulfilled, and tlie 
kingdom of God is at hand: rep».ut >e,|^nd be- 
lieve the gospel. 

16 li »' Now, as he walked by die sea of 
Galilee, he saw Simon, and Andrew his bro- 
ther, casting a net into die sea: for dicy were 
fisher*. 

17 And Jesus said unto them. Come ye ;\fter 
me, and 1 will make you to become fi>>hei"s of 
men. 

18 And straightway ''they forsook their nets, 
and followed him. 

19 :\nd 'when he had gone a little fuitlier 



thence, he saw James t/ie son of Zebedee, and 
John his brother, who idso were in the ship, 
mending dieir nets. 

20 And straiglitway he called them : and they 
left their father Zebedee in the ship with die 
hired sei-vants, and went after him. 

21 And "they went into Capernaum; and a.d.^i. 
sti-aightway on the siibbath-d:n', he entered into J."'"*^ 
the synagogue, and taught. 

22 * And they were astonished at his doctrine : t Matth, 
for he Uiuglit them as one diat had authority, and ^"^ 
not as the,6cribes. 

23 II And "there was in their synagogue a man uuiks 
w ith an unclcim spirit ; and he cried out, *• "" 

24 Saying, Let us alone; "what have we tOxMattu. 
do w ith thee, thou Jesus of Naziueth .' art thou **'■ 
come to destroy us.' I know thee who thou ait, 

the Holy One of God. 

25 And Jeaus ''rebuked him, saying, Hold7^''''34. 
thy pciice, and come out of him. 

26 And when the unclean spirit * had tom z chap, 
him, aiul cried with a loud voice, he came out of '"'*'■ 
him. 

27 And they were all amazed, insomuch 
that tliey questioned among themselves, saying, 
^\'hat thing is this f w hat new doctrine is tlii.s ? 
for w ith authority commandeth he even the un- 
clean spirits, and they do obey him. 

28 And immediately his fume spread abroad, 
throughout all die region nnmd about Galilee. 

29 IT And forthwith, when they were come 

out of the synagogue, "they enteied into the » Matth. 
hou.se of Simon and Andrew, with James and tu'k^' 4. 3s, 
John. 

30 But Simon's wife's modiei- lay sick of a 
fever; and anon they tell him of her. * 

31 And he came, and took her b\' the hiuid, 
and lifted her up ; and immediately the fever ielt 
her, imd she niini.->tered unto them. 

52 M '' x-\nd at e\en, when tlie sun did set, b Matth. 
they brouglit unto him all that were diseased, lui^:.i.4. 
iind them that were possessed w ith de\ils. 

33 And all the city was gadiered together at 
die doci-. 

34 And he healed many tliat were sick of di- 
\erse diseases, and cast out many devils; and 
"suHered not the de\ils || to speak, because diey j^uke 
knew him. ' iol'.tcu, 

35 If And ^ in die moniinc:, rising u]) a great it^';'/Ii,.

clean. 

41 And Jesus, '^ moved with compftssion, ptit 
forth his himd, and touched him, and saith unto 
him, 1 will ; be thou clean. 

42 And, as soon as he had spoken, imme- 
diately tlie leprosy depaited fiom him, and he 
was cleansed. 

43 And he straltly charged him, and forth- 
with sent him a'way ; 

44 And saith unto him. See thou say nothing 
to any man : but go thy way, ' shew thyself to 
the priest, and ofter for thy cleansing those 
things ^ which Moses commanded, for a testi- 
mony unto them. 

45 But he went out, ' and began to pi iblish it 
much, and to blaze abroad the matter, insomuch 
that Jesus could no more openly enter into tlie 
city, but was without in desert places : " aiul 
tliey Cdxnt to him from eveiv quaiter. 

CHAP. II. 
3 Christ healeth one sick of the palsy ; 14 calhth 
Matthew from the receipt of custom; 15 eateth 
with publicans and sinners^ 18 excuseth his dis- 
ciples for not fastijig, 23 and for plucking the 
ears of coni on tlie sabbath-day . 

AND again * he entered into Capernaum, 
after some days ; and it Mas noised that he 
was in the house. 

2 And straightAvay ''many w^ere gathered to- 
gether, insomuch that there was no room to re- 
cei\e them, no, not so much as about the door; 
and he preached the word unto them. 

3 And "^they come unto him, bringing one 
sick of the palsy, w-hich was borne of four. 

4 And '^ when they could not come nigh unto 
him, for the press, they uncovered tlie roof 
where he was; and \vhcn they liad broken it up, 
they let do^n the bed, wherein the sick of the 
palsy lay. 

5 ^When Jesus saw their faith, he said unto the 
sick of the palsy, Son, thy sins be forgiven thee. 

6 But there were certain of the scribes sitting 
there, and reason'mg in their hearts, 

7 Why doth this mail thus speak blasphe- 
mies.'' *^who can forgive sins, but God only ? 

8 And immediately, ^when Jesus perceived in 
his spirit, that tliey so reasoned a\ ithin them- 
selves, he said unto tliem, Why reason ye these 
things in your hearts ? 

9 ''WTiether is it easier, to say to the sick of 
the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee ; or to say. 
Arise, and fcike up thy bed, and ^valk : 

10 But that ye may 'know that the Son of 
man hath po\^'er on earth to forgive sins, (he 
saith to the sick of the paJsy,) 

111 say unto thee, Ai'ise, and take up thy 
bed, and go thy way into thine house. 

12 And immediately he arose, took up the 
bed, and \\'ent forth before them all ; insomuch 
that ''diey v\'ere all amazed, and glorified God, 
saying, We never saAv it on this fashion. 

13 And he went forth again by the sea-side ; 
and all the mult\tude resorted unto him, and he 
taught them. 



II. III. Matthew called. 

14 'And as he passed by, he saw Levi the son 
of Alpheus, sitting II at the receipt of custom, 
and said unto him. Follow; me. And he arose, 
and followed him. 

15 li "" And it came to pass, that as Jesus sat 
at meat in his house, many publiccms and sinners 
sat cilso together with Jesus and his disciples : for 
there A\ere many, aaid they follox^ed him. 

16 And when the scribes and Phai-isees saw 
him eat with publicans and sinners, they said 
unto his disciples. How is it tliat he eateth and 
drinketh with publicans and sinners .^ 

17 When Jesus heard it, he saith unto them, 
" They that are -vvhole, have no need of the phy- 
siei-cm, but they tliat are sick. °I came not to 
call tl'ic righteous, but sinners to repentance. 

18 ^f Aiid ^ che disciples of John, and of the 
Pharisees, used to fast; and they come, and sa.y 
unto hi]"n. Why do the disciples of John, and 
of the Pharisees fast, but thy disciples fast not ? 

19 And Jesus said unto them, '^ Can the chil- 
dren of the bride-chamber fast, \\\v\& the bride- 
groom is with thern ? as long as they ha\ e the 
bridegroom with them, they cwmot fast. 

20 ""But tlie days will come, ^^"hen the bride- 
gibom shall be tiken a'way from them, and then 
shall they fast in tiiose days. 

21 No man also sevreth a piece of || new cloth 
on Till old garment ; else the ncAv piece that filled 
it up, taketh away from the old, and the rent is 
made worse. 

22 And ^ no man putteth ne^\' vcme into old 
botdes; else the new w'me. doth burst the bot- 
tles, and the \\-ine is spilled, and the bottles '\vill 
be man-ed : but newA\'uie must be put into ne^v 
botdes. 

23 Ti * And it came to pass, that he ^vent 
through the corn-fields on the sabbath-day ; and 
his disciples began, as they w"ent, " to pluck the 
ears of corn. 

24 And the Pharisees said unto him. Behold, 
Avhy do they on the sabbath-day that which is 
not lawful ? 

25 And he said unto them, Have y& nextr read

ter, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, 
and he foUoweth not us ; and we forbade him, 
because he foUoweth not us. 

39 But Jesus said. Forbid him not : ^ for 
there is no man which shall do a miracle in my 
name, that can lightly speak evil of me._ 

40 '' For he tkat is not against us, is on our 
part. 

41 "^ For whosoever shall give you a cup of 
water to drink, in my name, because ye belong 
to Christ, verily I say unto you, He sh^l not lose 
his re\\ard. 

42 ^ And whosoever shall offend one of these 
little ones that believe in me, it is better for him 
that a mill-stone were hanged about his neck, 
and he were cast into the sea. 

43 ^ And if thy hand || offend thee, cut it off : 
it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, 
than, having two hands, to go into hell, into the 
fire that never shall be quenched ; 

44 ^ Where their w^orm dietli not, and the 
fire is not quenched : 

45 And if thy foot offend thee, cut it off: it 
is better for thee to enter halt into life, than, 
having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire 
that never shall be quenched ; 

46 Wh^ their worm dieth not, and the fire 
is not quenched. 

47 And if thine eye H offend thee, pluck it out : 
it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of 
God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be 
cast into hell-fire ; 

48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire 
is not quenched. 

49 For every one shall be salted with fire, 
s and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. 

50 ^ Salt is good : but if the salt have lost his 
saltness, wherewith will ye season it ? ' Have salt 
in yourselves, and have ^ peace one with another.

the coasts of Judea, by the farther side oi

and, as he was wont, he taught them again. 

2 T[ And the Pharisees came to him, and ask-

Avife ] tempting him. 

3 ^ And he answered, and said unto them. 
What did Moses command you ? 

4 And they said, " Moses suffered to write a 
bill of divorcement, and to put her away. 

5 And Jesus answered andr said unto them, 
For the hardness of your heart he wTote you 
this precept : 

6 But from the beginning of the

7 ^ For this cause shall a man leave

they are no more tA\'ain, but one flesh. 

9 What, therefore, God hatli joined together, 
let not man put asunder. 

10 And in the house his disciples asked him 
again of tlie same matter. 

11 And he saith unto them, ^ W^hosoever 
shall put away his wife, and marrj' another, com- 
mitteth adulteiy against her. 

12 And if a woman shall put avray her hus- 
band, and be mairied to another, she committeth 
adulterj\

him, that he should touch them ; and his disci-

14 But when Jesus saw zV, he A\~as much dis- 
pleased, and said unto them, Suffer the little 
children to come unto me, and forbid them not : 
^ for of such is the kingdom of God. 

15 Verily I say unto you, ' WTiosocA^er shall 
not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, 
he shall not enter therein. 

16 And he took them up in his arms, put his 
hands upon them, and blessed them. 

17 TI'' And, when he was gone forth into die 
way, there came one ninning, and kneeled to 
him, and asked him. Good Master, what shall I 
do, that I may inherit eternal life ?

is, God.

not commit adulterj-. Do not kill. Do not steal,

46 And A\ hen he had sent them away, he de-

47 ''And when e\en wits come, the ship was 
in the midst of the sea, and he alone on the 
land. 

48 And he saw them toiling in rowing: (for 
the wind ^\as contrary unto them:) iuid about 
the fourth watch of the night, he cometh unto 
them, walking upon the sea, and ' would have 
passed by them. 

49 But, when they saw him walking upon the 
sea, they supposed it had been a spirit, and cried 
out : 

50 (For they all s:iwhim, and were troubled : ) 
and immediately he talked with them, and siiith 
unto them, Be of good cheer : ^ it is I ; be not 
afraid. 

5 1 And he went up unto them into the ship ; 
and the wind ceased: and they were sore amaz- 
ed in tliemsehes beyond measure, and won- 
dered. 

52 For they considered not t/ie niiracle of tlie 
loaves : for 'their heart was luirdened. 

53 ^ " And \\hen they had passed o\cr, they 
came into the land of Gennesaret, and drew to 
the shore. 

54 And, when tliey were come out of the 
ship, straightway thev knew him, 

55 And ran through that ^v]lolc region round 
about, and began to carry alxjiit in beds " those 
that were sick, where they heard lie was. 

56 And whithersoever he entered, into \illa- 
ges, or cities, or coimtiy, they laid the sick in 
the streets, and besought him " that they might 
touch if it were but the border of his gai'-

CHAP. VII. 
1 The Pharisees find fault at the d'lscipks, for 
eating ivith univashcn hands. 8 Thetj break 
the commandment of God by the traditions of 
men. 14 Meat defile th not the man: 24 he 
healeth the Syrophenician ivonuui's daughter of 
an wulean spirit, 31 and one that was deaf 
and siaT}i?nered in his speech. 

THEN * came together unto him the Phari- 
sees, and certain of the scribes, which came 
from Jerusalem. 

2 And when they saw some of his disciples 
eat bread \\\\\i || dehled (that is to say, with un- 
wa-shen) himds, ihey iuur.d fault. 

3 For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, except 
they wash their hands \\ oft, eat not, ' holding 
the tradition of the elders. 

4 And 'ivhcn they come from the market, ex- 
cept they wash, they eat not. And nnuiy otlier 
things there be, which they have received to 
hold, as the washing of cups and *pots, brazen 
\ essels, and of (I tables. 

5 Theii the Pharisees and scribes asked him, 
\\'hy walk not thy disciples according to the 
tradition of the elders, but cat bread with un- 
Miishen hands ? 

6 He answered, and said unto them, \Vell 
hath Esaias prophesied of }ou, hj-pocritcs, as it

is written, "= This people honoureth me with 
their lips, but their heart is far from me.

8 For la\ing aside the ccmmandment of God, fi^s!*'' 
ye hold the tradition of men, as the wae^hing of j^^'-^^,

ye do. 

9 And he said unto them, Full well ye y re- 1 or. 
ject the commandment of God, that ye may ■'"'""'^''"" 
keep 'your own tradition. ever.3,s. 

10 For Moses said, '"Honour thy father and f Exod.

mother, let him die the death : ii,'^ 

1 1 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father 
or mother. It is ** Corban, that is to say, A gift, ^^^ 
by whatsoe^•er tliou mightest be profited by me; 
he shall be free. 

12 And ye suffer him no more to do aught for 
his father or his mother ; 

13 ' Making the word of God of none effect iver.e. 
through your tradition, ^\ hich ye have delivered : 
and many such like things do \'e. 

14 Ij "^ And, when he had called all the people k Mawi. 
unto him, he said unto them, Hearken unto me, "■"• 
every one of you, and iniderstand. 

15 ' There is nothing from w ithout a man, that iRom. u. 
entering into him, can defile him : but the things } Tm.4^. 
which come out of him, those are they that de- 
file the man. 

16 ""If an J' man ktve cars to hear, let himl^^*'* 
hear. 

17 And, ^\hen he was entered into the house 
from the people, " his disciples asked him con- J,",^'*- 
cerning the parable. 

18 And he saith imto them, " Are ye so with- \^^^^^ 
out understanding also .' Do ye not percei>'e, that »6^9- 
\\hatsoe\ er thing from without entereth into the 
man, // cannot defile him ; 

19 Bec^iuse it entereth not into his heart, but 
into the belly, and goeth out into the draught, 
purging all meats : 

20 And he said, That which cometh out of 
the man, that delileth the man. 

21 •'For horn within, out of the heart of p cen. 
men, proceed e\il thoughts, adulteries, fornica- ': 2l°^

and defile the man. 

24 H "I And from thence he arose, and went q Matth. 
into the borders of Tyre and Sidon, and entered """' 
into an house, and would have no mim know it ; 
but he could not be hid : 

25 For a certain woman, whose young daugh-

32 And they bring unto him one that was

they beseech him to put his hand upon him. 

33 And he took him aside from the multitude, 
and put his fingers into his ears ; and '' he spit, 
and touched his tongue ;

and saith unto him, Ephphatha, that is, Be 
opened.

spake plain.

no man ; but the more he charged them, so much 
the more a great deal they published it;

ing, He hath done all things well : he maketh 
both the deaf to hear, and the dumb to speak.

fuseth to give a sign to the Pharisees : 14 ad- 
monisheth his disciples to beware of the leaven of 
the Pharisees, and of the leaven of Herod: 22 
giveth a blind ma-n his sight : 27 acknovdedgeth 
that fie is the Christ, ivho should siifer and rise 
again: 34 and exhorteth to patience in perse- 
cution for the profession of the gospel. 
IN those days, the multitude being very great, 
and having nothing to eat, * Jesus csdled his 
disciples mito htm, and saith unto them, 

2 *"! ha\e compassion on the multitude, be-

OAvn houses, they will faint by the way : for 
divers of them came fi^om far. 

4 And his disciples answered him, "From 
whence can a man satisfy these men v/ith bread 
here in the \\ilderness ? 

5 And he asked them, ^How m.any loaves 
have ye ? And they said. Seven." 

6 Arid he commanded the people to sit down 
on the ground : and he took the seven loaves, 
and gave thanks, and brake, and ga\e to his dis- 
ciples to set before them ; and they did set them 
before the people. 

7 And they had a few small fishes : and ^ he 
blessed, and commanded to set them also before 
them. 

8 So they did eat, and were filled : and they 
took up, of the broken meat that Avas left, seven 
baskets. 

9 And they that had eaten, were about four 
thousand : and he sent them away. 



Vni. he gin)eth a blind man his sight. 

10 ^ And straight\\-ay he entered into a ship

Dahnanutha. 

11 ^And the Pharisees came foith, and began 
to question A\ith him, seeking of him a sign 
from liea\ en, t-empting him. 

12 And he ^sighed deeply in his spirit, and 
saith, \\'hy doth tliis genemtion seek arter a

13 And he left them, and entering into the 
ship again, departed to the other side.

bread ; neither had they in the ship with them 
more than one leaf.

leaven of Herod. 

16 And they reasoned among themsehes, 
saying, It is ^ because wt ha^e no bread.

32 But they understood not that saying, and 
were afiaid to ask him. 

33 H And he came to Capernaum : and being 
in the house, he asked them, " What was it that 
ye disputed among j-ourselves by the Avay ? 

34 * But they held their peace ; for by the way 
they had disputed among themselves, m ho should 
be the greatest. 

35 And he sat down, and called the t^velve, 
and saith unto them. If ^^ any man desire to be 
first, the same shall be last of all, and servant of 
all. 

36 And he took a child, and set him in the 
midst of them : and when he had taken him in 
his arms, he said unto them, 

37 Whosoever shall receive one of such chil- 
dren in my name, receiveth me ; and whosoever 
shall recei^ e me, receiveth not me, but him that 
sent me. 

38 Tf * And John answered him, saying, Mas- 
ter, we saw one casting out devils in thy name, 
and he foUoweth not us ; and we forbade him, 
because he foUoweth not us. 

39 But Jesus said, Forbid him not : * for 
there is no man which shall do a miracle in my 
name, that can lightly speak evil of me. 

40 ^ For he tkat is not against us, is on our 
part. 

41 "^ For whosoever shall give you a cup of 
water to drink, in my name, because ye belong 
to Christ, verily I say unto you, He shdl not lose 
his reward. 

42 ^ And whosoe\ er shall offend one of these 
little ones that believe in me, it is better for him 
that a mill-stone Mere hanged about his neck, 
and he were cast into the sea. 

43 ^ And if thy hand || offend thee, cut it off : 
it is better for thee to enter into life maimed, 
than, having two hands, to go into hell, into the 
fire that never shall be quenched ; 

44 ^ Where their worm dieth not, and the 
fire is not quenched : 

45 And if tliy foot offend thee, cut it off: it 
is better for thee to enter halt into life, than, 
ha%"ing two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire 
that never shall be quenched ; 

46 W^hete their worm dieth not, and the fire 
is not quenched. 

47 And if diine eye d offend thee, pluck it out : 
it is better for thee to enter into the kingdom of 
God with one eye, than, having two eyes, to be 
cast into hell-fire ; 

48 Where their worm dieth not, and the fire 
is not quenched. 

49 For every- one shall be salted with fire, 
^ and every sacrifice shall be salted with salt. 

50 ^ Salt is good : but if the salt have lost his 
saltness, therewith will ye season it ? ' Have salt 
in yourselves, and have ^ peace one with another.

2 % And the Pharisees came to him, aiid ask-

wife '^. tempting him. 

3 '' And he ansAvered, and said unto them, 
Wliat did Moses command you ? 

_ 4 And they said, ^ Moses suffered to Avrite a 
bill of diA orcement, and to put her away. 

5 -*\nd Jesus answered and said unto them. 
For the hardness of your heart he MTote you 
this precept : 

6 But from the beginning of the creation, 
^ God made them male and female. 0-*< , 

7 ^ For this cause shall a man leave nisi father 
and mother, and clea-se to his wife it 

8 And they twain shall be one flesh : so then 
they are no more t^A'ain, but one flesh. 

9 W^hat, therefore, God hatli "joined together, 
let not man put asunder. 

10 And in the house his disciples asked him 
again of tlie same matter. 

11 And he saith unto them, ^ Whosoever 
shall put away his wife, atid marry anotlier, com- 
mitteth adulteiy against her. 

12 And if a v^'oman shall put away her hus- 
band, and be mairied to another, she committeth 
adulter}'. 

_ 13 ^ s And they brought young childi-en to 
him, that he should touch them ; and his disci-

14 But when Jesus saw zV, he Mas much dis- 
pleased, and said unto them, Sufter tlie little 
children to come unto me, and forbid them not : 
"^ for of such is the kingdom of God. 

15 Verily I say unto you, ^ WhosoeA'er shall 
not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, 
he shall not enter therein. 

16 And he took them up in his arms, put his 
hands upon diem, and blessed them. 

17 T[^ And, when he was gone forth into die 
May, there came one running, and kneeled to 
him, and asked him. Good Master, %vhat shall I

25 It is easier for a camel to go through the eye

17 And .li-sus, luiswering, said unto them, 
* Render to Cesar the things that are Cesar's, arid 
to God the things tloat are God's. And they mar- 
velled at him. / 

18 M "* Then conie unto him the Sadducces, 
which say there is no resurrection ; ajid they 
asked him, saying, 

19 Master, "Moses wrote unto us. If a man's 
brother die, and leave //is wife be/iitid him, and 
ka\e no children, that his brother should take 
his wile, and raise up seed unto his brc)ther. 

20 Now there ^\ere seven brethren: and the 
fir.st took a w ife, and dying, left no seed. 

21 And the second took her, and died, nei- 
tlier left he any seed : and die third likew ise. 

22 And the seven had her, and left no seed: 
last of all, the woman died also. 

23 In the resuirection, therefore, when they 
shall rise, whose wife shall she be of them? for 
the seven had her to wife. 

24 And Jesus, answei ing, siiid unto them, 
Do ye not therefore err, "Ix-cause ye know not 
the scrh)tures, neither the power ol God ? 

25 P For w hen they shall rise from the dead, 
they neither mam-, nor lue given in marriage; 
but are as the angels w hich are in heaven. 

26 iVnd as touching the dead, thai they rise; 
ha\e ye not read in the book of Moses, how in 
the bush, G(.d spake unto him, saying, ""I am 
the God of Abraham, and the Gcd of Isaac, and 
the Grxl of Jacob ? 

27 Hi is not the God of the dead, but the God 
of the living: ye therefore do greatly err.

none other comma xhncnt giea'cr than these. 

32 And the scribe sitid unto him. Well, Mas-

34 And when Jesus saw that he answered 
discreetly, he said unto him. Thou art no' fai'

that durst ask him any question.

AND =• as he ^^•ent out of the temple, one of 
his disciples saith unto him, Master, see 
what mauaer of stones, and what buildings are 
here I 

2 And Jesus, answering, said unto him, Seest 
thou these great buildings ? '° there shall not be 
left one stone upon another, tliat shall not be 
tlirown down. 

3 li And as he sat upon the mount of Olives, 
o\"er against the temple, Peter, and James, and 
John, and Andre'w, asked him pri^'ately, 

4 " Tell us, when shall these things be ? and 
what shall be the sign when all these things shall 
be fulfilled ? 

5 And Jesus, answering them, began to say, 
•^ Take heed lest any man deceive you : 

6 For many shall comein my name, saying, I 
am Christ ; and shall deceive many. 

7 And when ye shall hear of wars, and ru- 
mours of Avars, be j'e not troubled : for such 
things must needs be ; but the end shall not be 

yet. . ... 

8 For nation shall rise agamst nation, and 
kingdom against kingdom ; and there shall be 
eas-thquakes in divers places, and there shall be 
famines and troubles : these are the beginnings 

of II SOITOWS. 

9 But take heed to yoursehes : for they shall 
deliver you up to councils ; and in the syna- 
gogues ye shall be beaten :_ and ye shall b? 
brought before rulers and kings for my sake, 
for a testimony against them. 

10 And the gospel must first be published 
among all nations. 

1 1 ' But when they shall lead you, and deli- 
ver you up, take no thought beforehand what ye 
shall speak, neither do ye premeditate ; but 
Avhatsoever shall be given you in that hour, tliat 
.speak Te : for it is not ye that speak, but the 
Holj'^ Ghost. 

12 Now, the brother shall betraj' the brother 
to death, and the father the son ; and children 
shall rise up against their parents, and shall cause 
them to be put to death. 

13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my 
name's sake: ^but he that shall endure unto 
the end, the same shall be saved. 

14 •{[ 8 But when ye shall see the abomination 
of desolatioii, spoken of by ^ Daniel the prophet, 

■ standing where it ought not, (let him that read- 
eth understand,) then let them that be in Judea 
flee to the mountains : 

15 And let him that is on the house-top, not 
go down into the house, neither enter therein, to 
take any thing out of his house : 

16 And let him that is in the field, not turn 
back again for to take up his garment. 

17 But woe to then|fthat are ' Avith child, and 
to them that give suck, in those days ! 

18 And pi-ay je that your flight be not in the 
winter.

as was not from the iDCginning of the creation 
which God created unto this time, neither

20 And except that the Lord had shortened 
those days, no flesh should be saAcd : but for 
the elect'b sake, whom he hath chosen, he hath 
shortened the days. 

21 ^ And then, if any man shall say to you, 24.^2"'' 
Lo, here is Christ ; or lo, he is there , believe 
him not : 

22 Fo'- false Christs and false prophets shall 
rise, and shall shew sigiis and wonders, to se-

23 But " take ye heed : behold, I hscv& fore-

no man, no, not the angels \vhich ai'e in heaven, 
neither the Son, but tlie Father. 

33 •" Take ye heed, ■i\-atch and pray : for ye 
know not when the time is. 

34 For the Son of man is as a man taking a 
far journey, A\"ho left his house, and ^\c autho- 
rity to his ser\'ants, and to every man his work, 
and commanded the porter to watch.

2 But they said, Not on tlie feast-<Azy, lest 
there be an uproar of the people. 

3 1!'' And Ixring in Bethany, in the house of 
Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came 
a woman, haA'ing an alabaster-box of ointment 
of II spikenard, \ery precious ; and she brake 
the box, and poured it on his head. 

4 And there were some diat had indignation 
within themselves, and said. Why was this 
waste of the ointment made ? 

5 For it might have been sold for more than 
three hundred || pence, and ha\e Ixen giA en to 
tlie poor. And they murmuied against her. 

6 And Jlsus said. Let her alone ; \\ hy trou-

7 '^ For ye have the poor with >ou always, and

9 Verily I say luito you, Wheresoe\er this 
gospel shall be preached throughout tlie whole

spoken of for a memorial of her.

desire him to do as he had ever done unto them.

that I release unto you the King of the Jews ?

platted a crow n of thorns, and put it aoout his

19 And they smote him on the head with a 
reed, and did spit upon him, and, bo\\"ing their 
knees, worshipped him. 

20 And when they had mocked him, they 
took oft' the purple fiom him, and i)ut his own

21 ''And they compel one Simon, a Cyieniiin,

eiiicific-d him. 

2G And the superscription of his accusation 
was written o\cr, ° THE KING OF THK

27 And with him they crucify two thieves ; the 
one on his right hand, and d-.e other on his left. 

28 And tlie scripture was fiilfilled, which saith,

31 Likewise also the chief priests, mocking, 
said among themsehes, ^vith the scribes. He 
saved others, himself he cannot save:

from the cross, that \w may see arid beIie^ e. "".Ynd 
they that were crucified w ith him, reviled him.

there was darkness o\er the whole land until

loud voice, saying, \ ICl()i, Eloi, lama sabach-

my God, why hast thou foi-saken me ? 

35 .And some of them that stood by, when 
they heard it, .said, 'Behold, he calleth I'Llias. 

36 And one ran, and filled a .spunge full of

7 And they had no child, because that Elisa-

26 Ti Ai'd in the si\tl\ month, the angel Ga- 
briel was .sent from God unto a city of Galilee, 
named Nazareth, 

27 ' To a \'irgin espoused to a man whose 
name; w as Joseph, of the house of Da\id ; and 
tlie \irgin's name -was Maty. 

28 And the angel came in unto her, and 
siiid, Kail,y/2o// that art \\ highly favoured, the 
Lord is A\ith thee : blessed arc thou among 
women. 

29 And \viien she saw him, she was troubled 
at his saying, aiid cast in her mind w hat manner 
of salutaiion this should be. 

30 And the angel said unto her, Fear not, 
Maiy : for hou ha^t found fa\our witli Gcd. 

31 ' And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy 
womb, and bring forth a Son, and shalt call his 
name JESUS. 

32 He shall be great, and shall be called The 
Spn of the Highest : and the Loid God shall 
give unto him the throne of his father David : 

2)3 "" And he shall reign o^er the house of Ja- 
cob ibr ever ; and of his kingdom there shall be 
no er.d. 

Si Then said Mary unto the angel, How- 
shall this be, seeing I know not a man .'' 

?^5 And the angel answered, avA said unto 
her, * The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and 
the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: 
therefore also, that holy thing Avhich shall be 
born of thee, shall be called " The Son c-f God. 

36 And, behold, thy cousin F.lisabeth,she hath 
also concei^■ed a son in her old age : and this is 
the sixth month with her, who \\ as called barren. 

37 ^ Foi \\ iih Gcd nothing shall Ix^ impossible. 

38 And Marj- said, Behold the handmaid of 
the Lord ; h(t it unto me according to thy w ord. 
And the angel departed from her. 

39 H And Maiy arose in ihose days, and w ent 
into "^ tlie hill-countiy' w illi haste, into a city of 
Juda, 

40 And ciitcred into tlic house of Zacharias, 
and saluted Elisabeth, 

41 And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth 
heard tlie siilutation of Mary, the babe leaped in 
her w omb ; and Elisabeth \\as filled w iih the 
Holy Ghost : 

42 And she spake out w ith a loud \ oice, and 
said, '' Blessed art thou among women, and 
blessed h the fruit of thy A\omb. 

43 And ;\ hence is tliis to me, that the mother 
of my Lord should come to me ? 

44 For, lo, as soon as the voice of thy sa- 
lutation sounded in mine ears, the babe leaped 
in my \\omb for joy. 

45 And blessed is she || that l)elie\'ed : for 
there shall Ix- a performance of those things, 
which were t(Jd her from the Lord. 

46 H And Mary said, ' My soul doth magnify 
the Lord, 

47 Arid my spiiit kith rejoiced in God my

48 For he haih regarded the lo^^• estate of his a"oint"""

things ; and the rich he hat'i sent empt}' away. . 

54 He hatli holpen his sei\ant Israel, ' in re- ^JJ-^'- 
membrance of /lis mercy ; 

55 ^ As he spake to our fathers, to Abraham, i',^,',,"- 
and to his seed, for e\'er. roto^'"' 

56 And Maiy abode w ith her about three h-S'. 
months, and reuimed \o her own house. Gai.s.w. 

57 % Now Elisabeth's full time came, that she 
should be dc Uvxiivd : and she brought forth a son. 

58 And her neighbours, and her cousins, heard 
how the Lord had she\\ed gieat mercy upon 
her : ' and they lejoiced \\itli her. iver.i-i 

59 And it came to pass, "'that on the eighth j^^j^"-

they called him Zacharias, after the name of his

AND it came to pass in those days, that there 
\\ent out a decree from Cesar Augustus, 
that all tlie world should be || taxed. 

2 ( ^ And this taxing was first made, v.hen 
Cj'renius ^^as go's'ernor of Syria.) 

3 And all ^\'ent to be taxed, every one into his

4 And Joseph also Avent up from Galilee, out 
of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto ''the city 
of David, which is called Bethlehem, (because 
he was of the " house and lineage of David,) 

5 To be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, 
being great with child. 

6 II And so it was, that while they A\-ere there, 
the days were accomplished that she should be 
delivered. 

7 And ^ she brought forth her first-bom son, 
and wrapped him in swaddling-clothes, and laid 
him in a manger ; because there was no room for 
them in the inn. 

8 IT And there were in the same country, shep- 
herds abiding in the field, keeping || watch over 
their fiock by night. 

9 And, lo, the angel of the Lord came upon 
them, and the gloiy of the Lord shone round 
about them ; and ^ they were sore afraid. 

10 And the angel said unto them. Fear not : 
for, behold, I bring you good tidings of great joy, 
*' which shall be to ail people. 

11 ^For unto you is bom this day, in the city 
of David, a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord. 

12 And this shall be a sign unto you : Ye shall 
find the babe wrapped in s\vaddiing-clothes, lying 
in a manger. 

13 And suddenly there was, with the angel, 
'' a multitude of the heavenly host praising God, 
and saying, 

14 Glory to God in the highest, and on earth 
' peace, ^ good-will toward men.

AND 'it came to pass, that, as the pccple aMwh 
pressed upon him, to hear the word ol God, *• " 
he stoo<l by the lake of Gennesaiet, 

2 And saw two ships standing by the lake : 
but the fishermen weie gone out of them, and 
were washing their nets. 

3 And he entered into one of the ships, which 
was Simon's, and prayed him that he would 
thrust out a little irom the land. And he sat 
dow n, and taught the ix^ople out of the ship. 

4 i\ Now, when he had left speaking, he said 
unto Simon, '' Launch out into the deep, and let 
down your nets ibr a draught. 

5 And Simon, answering, said unto him, 
Master, we ha\ c toikd all the night, and ha\e 
taken nothing : iie\ertlieless, ' at thy w oid, I will 
let down the net. 

6 And when they h-td this done, they en- 
closed a great multitude of fishes ; and their net 
bn^ke. 

7 And they beckoned unto their partners, 
which were in the otlic r sliip, tliat they should 
come and help them. And they came and filled 
both the ships, so that they J^egan to sink. 

8 When Simon Peter saw it, he iell dmui 
at Jesus' knees, saving, •* Depart from me ; for I djsam. 
am a sinful man, O Lord. 

9 For he was astonislud, and all that were 
\\\\\\ him, at Uie cb aught of the fishes which 
they had iaken : 

10 Ar.d so '!t,'£7^also James and John, the sons 
of Zebedee, which were partneis with Simon. 
And Jesus said unto Simon, FciU' not ; " from 
henceforth thou shalt catch men. 

11 And when they had brought their ships to 
land, they forsook all, and followed him. 

12 H "^ And it came to pass, w hen he was in a

13 A ad he put 'bitli his hand, and touched 
him, saying, I will; be thou clean. And im- 
mcdiateij- the leprosj' departed from him. 

14 s And he charged him to tell no man : "^ but 
go, ar.d shew th\'scll" to the priest, and offer for 
thy cltai-slng, according as Moses commanded, 
for a testimony unto them. 

15 ' But so much the more went there a fame 
abroad of him ; and great multitudes came to- 
gether to hcai-, and to be healed by him of tlieir 
infirmities. 

16 ^1 ^ And he withdi-ew himself into the wil- 
derness, and prayed. 

17 H And it came to pass on a certain day, as 
he w^as teaching, that there were Pharisees and 
doctoi-s of the law sitting by, -v^liich were come 
out of every town of Galilee, and Judea, and Je- 
rusalem ; and the power of the Lord was prese7it 
to heal them. 

18 * And, behold, men brought in a bed a 
man A\hich was taken with a palsy: and they 
sought means to bring him in, and to lay him 
before him.. 

19 And wheii they could not find|by v.hat 
■x^ay they might bring him in, becanse of the 
multitude, they went upon the house-top, and 
let him down through the tiling, wdth /zwxouch, 
into the midst befoi'e Jesus, 

20 And, v> hen he saw their faith, he said un- 
to him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. 

21 '"And the scribes and the Pharisees began 
to leason, saying, Who is this which speaketh 
blasphemies ? * v» ho can forgive sins, but God 
alone ? 

22 But, when Jesus perceived their thoughts, 
he, ans^^ering, said unto them. What reason 
ye in your hearts .'' 

23 " Whetiier is easier to say, Thy sins be 
forgiven thee ; or to say. Rise up and walk 1 

24 But that ye may know that the Son of man 
hath power upon earth to forgive sins, (he said 
iinto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee. 
Arise, and take up thy couch, and go unto thine 
house. 

25 And immediately he rose up before them, 
a:'id took up that whereon he lay, and departed 
to his ov.n house, glorifying God. 

26 And they \^"erejili amazed, and they glori- 
fied God, arid ■\\ere mled with fear, saying. We 
have seen strange things ^-daj\ 

27 If P And after these things he went forth, 
and saw a publican, named Levi, sitting at the 
receipt of custom : and he said unto him, Fol- 
low me. 

28 And he left all, rose up, and followed him. 

29 Ti 1 And Levi made him a great feast in his 
oww. house : "■ and there \\"as a great company of 
publicans, and of others, that sat down with 
them. 

50 But their scribes and Pharisees murmured 
against his disciples, saying, "VN^hy do ye eat 
and drink v.ith publicans and sinners ? 

31 And Jesus, ans\\ering, said unto tliem. 
They that ai-e Vrhole, need not a physician ; but 
they that are sick.. 



VL Of the sabbath. 885 

32 *I came not to call the righteous, but sin- 
ners to repentance. * 

2>:i ^ And they said unto him, * Why do the ^^^^^.^j^ 
disciples of John fast often, and make prayers, I'.it'^" 
and likewise the disciples of the Phai-isees ; bui \^t?' 
thine eat and drink ? ^^''j^^'-'' 

34 And he said unto them. Can ye make the 
children of the bride-chamber fast, while the 
bridegroom is with tliem .'' 

35 But the days will come, when tjie bride- 
groom shall be taken away from them, and then 
shall they fiist in those days. 

36 ^ And he spake also a parable unto them ; 
"No man putteth a piece of a new garm.ent upon u Matth. 
an old; if otherwise, then both the new maketh M^t^a,. 
a rent, and tlie piece "tliat was taketi out of the 
ne^v, agreeth not \vith the old. 

37 "And no man putteth new wine into oldsRbrk 
bottles ; else the new wine will burst the bottles, ^■"' 
and be spilled, and the bottles shall perish. 

38 But new wine must be put into new bot- 
tles, and both are preserved. 

39 No man also, having drunk old U7"«<?, 
sti■slight^^ ay dcsireth new : for he saith, The old 
is better. 

CKAP. VL 
1 Christ reproveth the Pharisees' hlindness about 
the observatioji of the sabbath, by scripture, 
reason, and miracle: 13 chooseth tivelve apos- 
tles: 17 liealeth the diseased: 20 preacheth to 
his disciples before the people of blessings and 
curses; 27 how we must love our enemies; 
46 a7id join the obedience of good -works to the 
hearing of the word, lest in the coil day of 
temptation we fall like an house built upon the 
face of the earth without any fowidation. 

AND it came to pass, on the second sabbath 
after the first, *that he went through the aEeui. 
corn-fields ; and his diifeiples plucked the ears m«a. 
of corn, and did eat, rubbing them in their '^^^^^• 
hands. 

2 And certain of the Phaiisees said unto them, 
Why do ye that Avhich is not la\vful to do on the 
sabbath-days ? 

3 And Jesus, answering them, said, Ha-\^e 
ye not read so much as this, "^ what David did, b i sam. 
when himself w^as an hungered, and they which '^^'^' 
were with him ; 

_ 4 How he went into the house of God, and 
did take, and eat the shew-bread, and gave also 
to them that were with him; "^ which it is notc&ccd. 
law fill to eat, but for the priests alone ? 29.32,33.. 

5 And he said unto them. That the Son of 
man is Lord also of the sabbath. 

6 Ti ^And it came to pass also, on another d Matth. 
sabbath, that he entered iiito the synagogue, cka'p.is.io. 
and taught : and there w as a man A\hose right 
hand was withered : 

7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, 
w^hether he wotild heal on the sabbath-daj' ; that 
they m.ight find an accusation against him. 

8 ^But he knew" their thoughts, and said to e Mark

9 Then said JciL.s unto them, I ^\ ill ask you 
one thing, Is it lawful on the siibbatli-days to do 
good, or to do evil .' to save life, or to destroy 
it? 

10 And, looking round about upon them all, 
he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy hand. 
And he did so: '^and his hand \\as restored

1 1 And they w ere ^ filled with madness ; and 
commimed one with another, what they might

12 TI And it came to pass in those days, that 
he A\ ent out into a ^ mountain to pray, and con- 
tinued all night in prayer to God. 

13 And w hen it was day, he called unlo Jiim 
his disciples; and of thtijn 'he chose twehe,

14 Simon, (whom he also named Peter) and 
Andrew his brother, James and John, Philip 
and Bartholomew, 

15 Matthew and Thomas, James tlie son of 
Alpheus, a'^d Simon called Zelotes,

all Judca and Jerusiilcm, and from the sea-coast 
of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, 
and to be healed of their diseases; 

18 And they that were \exed with unclean 
spirits : and they w ere healed. 

19 ""And the whole multitude sought to 
touch him ; for there went virtue out of him, 
and healed tfwni all.

1 Christ Jindeth a greater faith in the centurion, 
a Gentile, than in any of the 'Jews ; 10 hcaleth 
his servajit deing absent ; 11 raisethfrom death 
the ■vjidm)'' s son at Nain ; 19 ans%vereth John's

24 testifeth to the people what opinion lie held of

neither the maimers of John nor of Jesus could 
be won ; 36 aJid sheweth by occasion of Mary 
Magdalene, haw he is a friend to sinners, not 
to maintain them in sins, but to forgive them 
their sins upon their faith and repentance. 
""\T0W A\hen he had ended all his sayings in 
XN the audience of the people, ^ he entered in- 
to Capernaum. 

2 And a certain centurion's servant, Avho was 
deal- unto liim, was sick, and ready to die. 

3 And, when he heard of Jesus, he sent unto 
him the elders of the Jews, _beseq|jpiing him, 
that he v ould come and heal his servant. 

4 And, when they came to Jesus, they be- 
sought him instantly, saying, That he ^ffes wor- 
thy for whom he should do tliis : 

5 For he loveth our nation, and he hath built 
us a synagogue. 

6 ^ Then Jesus went with them. And vvhen 
" he \\2& now not far from the house, the centuri- 
on sent friends to him, saying unto him. Lord, 
trouble not thyself ; for, ^ I am not wortliy tliat

out, the onlj' son of his mother, and she was a

21 And in tliat same hour he cured many of

of God ; and the tvxehe ivcre wi;h him,

3 And Joanna the wife of Chuza, Herod's 
ste\\ard, and Susanna, and many others, \\ Inch 
ministered unto him of their substance. 

4 II = And w hen much people were gathered 
together, and w ere come to him out of e\eiy 
city, he spake by a parable : 

5 •* A sower \\ ent out to sow his seed ; and, as 
he sow ed, some fell by the w ay-side ; and it \\ as 
trodden down, and the fowls of the air devour- 
ed it: 

6 And some fell upon a rock ; and, as soon as 
it was sprung up, it withered a\\ay, because it 
lacked moisture. 

7 And some fell among thorns ; and the thorns 
sprang up w ith it, and choked it : 

8 And other fell on good giour.d, and sprang 
up, and bare fruit tui hundred-foid. And w hen 
he liad s^i|k these things, he cried, He that hath 
eai's to ii^', let him heiir. 

9 And his disciples asked him, saying, ' Wliat 
might ill is parable be ? 

10 And he said. Unto you it is gi\en to know 
the mysteries of the kingdom of God ; but to 
others in parables : that seeing they might not 
see, and heiuing they might not understand. 

11 'No\\ the parable is this : The seed is the 
word of God. 

12 ^ Those by the way-side are they tiiat htar : 
then Cometh the devil, and taketh away the 
A\ord out of their hearts, lest Uicy should be- 
lieve, and be saved. 

13 ^ They on the reek are tliey, which, ^vhen 
they hear, receive die word w iih joj' ; iuid these 
have no root, w hich for a \vhile believe, and in 
time of temptation fall away. 

14 ' And that a\ hich fell among thorns are they, 
\\ hich, \\ hen tl-;ey haA e heard, go foith, and are 
choked w ith cares, and riches, and pleasures of 
this life, ajid bring no fruit to perfection. 

15 But that on die good gioinid are they, 
wliicli, in an honest and good hta: t, lia\ inij heaicl 
the word, keep it, ar.d bring forth liuit with

16 H "^ No man, wHen he hath lighted a can-

17 ' For nothing is secret, tk\t shall not be

23 But as they sailed, he fell asleep: and there 
came down a storm of ■^\ind on the lake ; and they

sajing, Master, master, we perish ! i Then he 
arose, and rebuked the Avind, and the i"aging of 
the water: and diey ceased, and there was a calm. 

25 And he said unto them. Where is 3-our

one to another. What manner of man is diis ! for 
he commandeth e^■en the wmds and water, and 
they obey him. 

26 ^ " And they arrived at tlie country of the 
Gadarenes, which is over against Galilee. 

27 And when he went forth to land, there met 
him, out of the city, a certain man, «vliich had

AVhat have I to do ^\■ith diee, Jesus, t/iou Son of 
God most high ? I beseech thee, *tonnent me not.

to come out of the man. For oftentimes it had 
caught Mm ; and he was kept bound with chains 
and in fetters ; and he brake the bands, and ^\'as 
driven of the devil into the wilderness.) 

30 And Jesus asked him, saying. What is thy 
name? And he said, "Legion; because many 
devils Mere entered into him. 

31 And they besought him, that he would not 
command them to go out '^ into tlie deep.

33 Then went the devils out of the man, and 
entered into tlie s\\dne ; ^ and the herd ran vio- 
lently dowTi a steep place, into the lake, and were 
choked. 

34 WTien tliey that fed r/iem, saw ^vhat was

tweh'e years, which had spent all her living upon Mart 5. 2/,

" 45 And Jesus said. Who touched me ? When

_ 47 And when the woman saw that she was not 
hid, she came ti-embling ; and falling doA\ii be-

saying, Fear not : believe only, and she shall be

51 And when he came into the house, he suf- 
fered no'man to go in, sa\e Peter, and James,

39 And, lo, a spirit taketh him, and he sud-

foameth again ; and, bruising him, hardly de- 
parteth j&om him. 

40 And I besought thy disciples to cast him 
out; ^ and they could not. _ 

41 And Jesus, ans^vering, said, O faitliless 
and perverse generation ! how long shall I be 
M'ith you, and suffer you ? Bring thy son hither. 

42 And, as he was yet a coming, the devil 
threw him doAvn, and tare him; and Jesus re- 
buked the unclean spirit, and healed the child, 
and delivered him again to his father. 

43 IF And they were all amazed at the mighty 
po\\er of God. But, while tliey wondered, 
every one at ail things which Jesus did, he said 
unto his disciples, 

44 Let these sayings sink down into your ears : 
* for the Son of man shall be delivered into the 
hands of men. 

45 But they understood not this saying, and 
it was hid from them, that they perceived it not : 
and they feared to ask him of that saying. 

46 Ti ''Then there arose a reasoning among 
them, ^\'hich of them should be gi-eatest. 

47 And Jesus, perceiving the thought of their 
heart, took a child, and set him by him, 

48 And said unto them, Whosoever shall 
recei\e this child in my name, receiveth me ; 
and \^-hosoever shall receive me, receiveth him 
that sent me : for he that is least among you all, 
the same shall be great. 

49 Ty^ And John answered, and said. Master, 
we saw one casting out devils in thy name ; and 
we forbade him, because he followeth not with 
us. 

50 And Jesus said unto him, Forbid himnot: 
for he that is not against us, is for us. 

51 If And it came to pass, when the time was 
come, that '^he should be received up, he sted- 
fasllj' set his face to go to Jerusalem ; 

52 And sent messengers before his face : axid 
thej' \\ent, and entered into a village of the Sa- 
maritans, to make ready tor him. 

53 And they did not receive him, ^ because 
his face was as though he would go to Jerusalem. 

54 And when his disciples, James and John, 
saw this, they said. Lord, wilt thou that we 
command fire to come do^vn from heaven, and 
consume them, even as *^Elias did. 

^ 55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said. 
Ye kno\v not what manner of spirit ye are of. 

56 For the Son of man is not come to destroy 
men's Ua es, ^ but to save them. And they went 
to anoiher village. 

57 If ''And it came to pass, that, as they went 
in the way, a certain ?7ia/i said unto him. Lord, 
I A\'iil follow thee ^^■hit]lersoeverthou goest. 

58 And Jesus said unto him. Foxes have 
hoies, and birds of the air have Jiests ; but the 
Son of man hath not where to lay his head. 

59 'And he said unto another, Follow me. 
But he said. Lord, suffer me first to go and 
bury my faiher. 

60 Jesus said unto him. Let the dead bury 



their dead ; but go thou and preach the kingdom 
of God. 

61 And another also said. Lord, I will follow 
thee: ''but let me first go bid tliem larewell, 
which are at home at my house. 

62 And Jesus said unto him, ' No man, having 
put his liand to the plough, and looking back, is 
fit for the kingdom of God.

AFTER tliese tilings, ^the Lord appointed

How to attain eternal life. S. LUKE. 

17 IF And "the seventy returned again with 
joy, saying. Lord, even the devils are subject 
unto us through thy name. 

18 And he said unto ilicm, °I beheld Satan as 
lightning, fiill from hea\cn. 

19 Behold, I gi\ e unto you power to tread on 
serpents and scoipioas, and over all the pow cr ol 
the enemy : and notliing shall by any means hurt 
you. 

20 Not^\•ithstanding, in this rejoice not, that 
the spirits are subject unto you ; but ratlier re- 
joice, because your names are written in heaven. 

21 1[ In Pthat hour, Jesus rejoiced in spirit, 
and said, I thiuik thee, O Father, Lord of hea- 
ven and earth, that thou hast hid these things 
from the wise and pmdent, and liast revealed 
them unto babes: c\en so. Father; lor so it 
seemed good in thy sight. 

22 II All diings are delivered tome of my Fa- 
ther ; and no man knoweth u ho th'=' Son is, but 
the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, 
and he to whom the Son will reveal ///;?/. 

23 11 And he turned him unto /lis disciples, 
and said privately, ' Blessed are the eyes w hich 
see the things that ye see : 

24 For I tell you, ''That many prophets and 
kings have desired to see those things which ye 
see, and have not seen them; and to hear those 
things which ye hear, and have not heard thc7n. 

25 11 And, behold, a certain law ycr stood up, 
and tempted him, ' saying, Master, w hat shall 1 
do to inherit eternal life ? 

26 He said unto him. What is wiitten in the 
law .'' how rcadest ihou .'' 

27 And he, answering, said, * Thou shalt love 
the Lord diy God, with all thy heart, and with 
all thy soul, and w ith all thy strength, and w ith 
all thy mind ; "and thy neighbour as thyself. 

28 And he sj^id unto him. Thou hast answered 
right ; * this do, and tliou shalt live. 

29 But he, " willing to justify himself, said 
inito Jesus, And w ho is my neighbour ? 

30 And Jesus, answering, said, A certain man 
went douTi from Jerusalem to Jericho, and fell 
among thieves, w hich stripped him of his rai- 
ment, and wounded hiju, and departed, leaving 
him half dead. 

31 And, by chance, there came down a cer- 
y p.. 38. 11. tain priest that way; and when he saw liim, ''he 

passed by on the other side. 

32 And likewise a Levite, when he w as at the 
place, auiie and looked on him, and passed by 
on the other side. 

33 * But a certain Sama: itmi, as he joumej'cd, 
came where he was: and when he s;uv him, he 
liad compassion on him., 

34 And went to him, and bound up his 
wounds, pouring in oil and w ine, and set him 
on his own beast, and brought him to an inn, 
and took care of him. 

35 And on the morrow^ w hen he departed, he 
took out II \\\o penrc, and gave them to the host, 
and said unto hnn, Takt. care of him : and \\ hat- 
soever thou spendcst moic, when I come again, 
I will repay thee.

36 Which now of these three, thinkest thou, 
was neighboiu- unto him that fell among tlie 
diieves ? 

37 And he said. He tliat shewed mercy on 
him. Then siiid Jesus unto him, Go, and do

38 U Now it came to pass, as they went, that he 
entered into a certain vilkige : ^ ancl a certain wo- 
man, named Maitha, received him inlo her house. 

39 And she had a sister called Marj-, "^ which 
also sat at Jesus' feet, and heard his word. 

40 But Martha v\as cumbered about much 
serving, and came to him, and said, Loid, dost 
thou not care that my sister.hath left me to serve 
alone ? bid her, therefore, diat she help me. 

41 And Jesus answered, and said unto her, 
Martha, Martha, thou art careful and ti-oublea 
about many things ; 

42 ' But one thing is needful ; and Mar>' hath 
chosen diat good part, w hich shall not be taken

CHAP. XL 
1 Christ teacheth to pray, and that instantly: 
1 1 assuring that God so wi/l give us good things. 
14 He, castitiv out a dumb devil, rebuketh tlie 
blasphemous Pharisees: 28 and shenueth ivho 
are blessed: 29 preacheth to the people : 37 and 
reprchcndeth the outward shew) of holiness in tfie 
Pharisees, scribes, and lawyers. 

AND it carne to pass, that, as he was praying 
in a certain place, when he cciised, one of 
his disciples said unto him. Lord, teach us to 
pray, as John also taught his disciples. 

2 And he said unto them. When ye pray, say, 
" Our Father which art in heaven : Hallowed be 
thy name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be 
done, as in heaven, so in earth. 

3 Gi\'e us I! day by day our daily bread. 

4 And forgive us our sins : for we also forgi\e 
every one that is indebted to us. And lead us not 
into temptaiion ; but deliver us from evil. 

5 And he said unto them. Which of you shall 
have a friend, and shall go unto him at midnight, 
and say unto him. Friend, lend me tliree loaves; 

6 For a friend of mine || in his journey is come 
to me, and I ha^•e nothing to set before him ? 

7 And he from within, shall answer and .say, 
Trouble me not : the door is now shut, and my 
children iire with me in bed ; I caimot rise and 
give thee. 

8 I say imto you. Though he will not rise and 
give him, beaiuse he is his friend; yet, because 
of his importunity, he ^vill rise, and give him as 
many as lie needeth. 

9 »" And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be 
given you; seek, and ye shall find: knock, audit 
shall be opened unto you. 

10 For every one tliat asketh, receiveth ; and 
he that seeketK, findcth ; and to him that knock- 
eth, it shall be onened. 

11 = If a son snail ask bread of any of you that

13 If ye then, being evil, *know how to give 
good gifts unto your chiidi^en ; how much more 
shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit 
to them tliat ask him ? ^ 

14 ^ And he was casting 'out a devil, and it 
was 4umb. And it came to pass, when the devil 
was gone out, the dumb spake ; and the people 
wondered. 

15 But some of them said, ^He casteth out 
devils thi'ough Beelzebub, the cliief of the 
devils. 

16 And others, tempting him^ s sought of hirn 
a sign from heaven. 

17 But he, ** knowing their thoughts, saidmito 
them, Every kingdom divided against itself, is 
brought to desolation; and a house divided 
against a house, falletli. 

18 If Satan aJso be divided against himself, 
how sliall his kingdom stand ? because ye say, 
that I cast out devils tlirough Beeizebub. 

19 And if I by Beelzebub cast out devils, by 
whom do 5'our sons cast t/iem out? tlierefore 
shall they be yom' judges. 

20 But if I, ' with the finger of God, cast out 
devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come 
upon you. 

21 When a strong man armed, keepeth his 
palace, his goods ai-e in peace : 

22 But when a ^ stronger than he shall come 
upon him, and overcome him, he taketh fi-om 
him all liis ai-mour, v. herein h& trusted, and di- 
videth his spoils. 

23 He tliat is not with me, is against me ; and 
he that gathereth not witli me, scattereth. 

24 ' When the unclean spirit is gone out of a 
man, he walketh thiough diy places, seeking 
rest ; and finding none, he saith, I will return 
unto my house, whence I came out. 

25 And vv'hen he cometh, he findeth it swept, 
and garnished. 

26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven 
other spirits, more kicked than himself; and 
they enter in, and dwell there: "and the last 
state of that man is worse than the first. 

21 T[ And it came to pass, as he spake these 
tilings, a certain woman of the company lifted 
up her voice, and said unto him, "Blessed is the 
womb that bare thee, and the paps which thou 
hast sucked. 

28 But he said. Yea, rather blessed are they 
that hear the word of God, arid keep it. 

29*l[°And when the people were gathered 
tliick together, he began to say, This is an evil 
generation: they seek a sign; and there shall 
no sign be given it, but the sign of Jonas the 
prophet. 

30 P For as Jonas was a sign unto the Nine- 
vites, so shall also the Son of man be to this 
generation. 

31 ^ The queen of the south shall rise up in 
the judgment, with the men of this generation, 
and condemn them : for she came fi-om the ut- 
most parts of the earth, to hear the wisdom of 
Solomon ; and, behold, a greater than Solomon 
is here. 



32 The men of Nineveh shall rise up in the Dromfi 
judgment, ^^ith tliis generation, and shall con- ,,_J\_, 
■■for they repented at the preaching ^j^^^j^j^ 
and, behold, a gi^eater than Jonas is

33 'No man, when he hath lighted a candle, |- 
putteth it in a secret place, neither under a 
il bushel, but on a candlestick, that they vvhich 
come in may see the light. 

34 *Tlie light of the body is the eye: there 
fore when thine eye is single, thy whole body 
also is frill of light ; but when thine eye is evil, 
thy body also f,y frill of dai'kness. 

35 Take heed, therefore, that the Hght which 
is in thee, be not dai'kness. 

36 If thy whole body, therefore, ^^ fiill of light, 
having no part dark, the whole shall be full of 
light; as when the bright shining of a candle 
doth give thee light. 

37 11 And, as he spake, a certain Pharisee be- 
sought him to dine witli him. : and he went in, 
and sat down to meat. 

38 And when the Pharisee saw zV, "he mar 
veiled that he had not first washed before dinner, 

39 ''And the Lord said unto liim, Now do ye w Matth.

42 ^But woe unto you, Phaiisees ! for ye tithe y Matth.

44 Woe imto you, scribes and Pharisees, hy-

45 Then answered one of the lawyers, and 
said unto him. Master, thus saying, thou re- 
proachest us also. 

46 And he said ^Woe unto you also, ye law-

dens Avith one of your fingers.

52 « Woe unto you, lawyers ! for ye have taken

yourselves, and tliem that were entering in, ye 
il hindered. 

53 And as he said these things unto them, the 
scribes and the Pliarisees began to urge Aim ve- 
hementlj', and to pros oke him to speak of many 
tilings; 

54 Laying v\ ait for him, ^ and seeking to catch 
sometliing out of his mouth, tliat they might ac- 
cuse him. 

CHAP. XII. 
1 Christ preacheth to his disciples to ai'oid hypo- 
crisy and f cart idness in pubfis/iing his doct/me : 
15 iijarncth the people to bcv: are of covetons7iess, 
by t/ic parable of the rich man ivho set up greater 
barns. 22 IVe must not be o'ner careful of earthly 
things; 31 but seek the kitigdom of God, 33 give 
alms, 36 and be ready at a knock to open to our 
I^ord whensoever he comcth. 41 Christ^ s minis- 
ters are to sec to their charge, 49 and look for 
persecution. 54 T/ie people must take this time 
of grace ; 58 because it is a fearful thing to die 
without reconciliation. 

IN * the meim time, ^\ hen there were gathered 
together an innumerable multitude of people, 
insomuch that tlicy trodc one upon another, he 
begtm to siiy unto his disciples first of all. Be- 
ware \e of the leaven of tlie Pliarisees, w hich is 
hjl^ocrisy. 

2 '' For tliere is noticing covered, that shall 
not be revealed; neidier hid, tliat shall not be 
knowii. 

3 Therefore, A\hatsoever ye have spoken in 
darkness, shall be heaid in tlie light; and that 
which ye ha\e spoken in the eai-, in closets, shall 
be proclainied upon tlie house-tops. 

4 And I say luito you, 'my friends, Be not 
afraid of them that kill the body, and after that 
ha\e no more that they can do : 

5 But I uill foreA\arn >ou whom ye shall 
fear: Fear him, which, after he hath killed, hath 

Ko^\ er to cast into hell ; yea, I say unto you, I' ear 
im. 

6 Are not fnc sparrows sold for t\\ o il far- 
tilings .' and not one of them is forgotten before 
God. 

7 But even the -s^erj- liairs of your head are 
iill numbered. Fear not, therefore; ye are of 
more value than many span ow s. 

8 '^ Also I say unto 3 on. Whosoever shall 
confess me lx:fore men, him shall the Son ot 
man also confess before the angels of God. 

9 But he tliat dcnieth me before men, sIkJI be 
denied before the angels of God : 

ID 'And wliosoe\'er shall speak a word against 
the Son of man, it shall bciorgi\en him: but 
unto him that bla-.j)hemetli against the Holy 
Ghost, it shall not be forgiven. 

11 'And when Oiey bring you unto the sjTia- 
gogues. and unto magistrates, and powers, take 
ye no tnouclit, how, or what thing ye sIimII an- 
s^ver, or what ye shall say : 



12 For the Holy Ghost shall teach you in the 
same hour, \\ hat yc ought to say. 

13 H And one of the company said unto him, 
jNIaster, speak to my brotlier, tliat he di\ide the 
inheritance with me. 

14 And he said unto him, ^Man, who rhade 
me a judge, or a divider over you ? 

15 -Vnd he said unto them," ''Take heed, and 
bewaie of co\ etousness : for a man's life con- 
sisteth not in the abundimce of the tilings w hich 
he possesseth. 

16 And he spake a pai-able unto them, saj-ing, 
The ground of a certain rich man brought Yoilh 
plentifully : 

17 And he tliought within himself, saying, 
What shall I do, because I ha\e no room \\ here 
to bestow my fruits.' 

18 And he said. This will I do: I will pull 
do\\ni my bams, and build greater: and lliere 
will I Ix'stow all my fruits, and my goods. 

19 And I \\ ill say to my souJ, ' Soul, thou hast 
much goods laid up for many years: take tiiine 
ease, eat, drink, ar/d he meriy. 

20 But God said inito him. Thou fool! thi.s 
night li tliy soul shail be requiix^d of thee ; then 
w hose shall those tilings be, a\ hich thou hast 
pro\ided ? 

21 So is he that layeth up treasure for him- 
self, and is not rich to\\ ard God. 

22 M And he said unto his disciples, There- 
fore I say unto you, ''Take no thought foi- your 
life, what yc shail eat; neither for the body, 
\\hat ye shall put on. 

23 The life is more than meat, and the body 
is more than raiment, 

24 Consider 'the ravens: for they neither sow 
nor reap; which neither ha\'e store-house nor 
barn ; and God fcedetli tlicm : how much more 
are ye better than tJic fowls? 

25 And v hich of you, " ^^ ith taking thought, 
can add to his stature one cubit? 

26 If ye then be not able to do that thing 
w hich is least, v hy take ye thought for the rest ? 

27 Consider the lilies luiw they grow : they 
*oil not, they spin not; iind yet I say unto you, 
T'nat Solomon, in all his gloiy, ^was not arrayed 
iko one of tliesc. 

28 ii then God so clothe the grass, which is 
to-day in the field, and lo-mon-oA\- is cast into 
the o\en; ho\\- much more will he clothe >ou, O 
ye of little faith? 

29 And seek not ye what ye shall eat, or 
nliat 5e shall drink, || neither be ye of doubtfiil 
mind. 

30 For all these tilings do the nations of the 
world seek i; ft er: and your Father knowetli that 
ye hine need of these things. 

31 But rather seek ye the kingdom of God; 
"and all these things shall be added unto you. 

32 Feiu- not, little flock ; i"or it is your Father's 
good pleasure to gi\e you the kingdom. 

0)3 li Sell that ac ha^•e, and give alms; "pro- 
\ide yourselves hags v hich wax not old, a trea- 
sure in the heavens that faileth not, where no 
thief approachcth, ncitlier moth coiTupteth.

37 'Blessed are those servants, whom the 
lord, when he cometh, shall find watching : ve- 
rily I say unto you, That he shall gird himself, 
and make them to sit down to meat, and will 
come forth and serve them. 

38 And if he shall come in the second watch, 
or come in the tliird watch, and find t/iem so, 
blessed are tliose ser\ants. 

39 'And this know, that if the goodman of 
the house had known what hour the tliief \vould

fered his house to be broken through. 

40 Be ye, therefore, ready also : for the Son 
of man cometh at an hour, when ye think 
not. 

41 IT Then Peter said unto him. Lord, speak- 
est thou this parable unto us, or even to all ? 

42 And the Lord said, *Who then is that 
faithful and wise ste^vard, whom Ais lord shall 
make ruler over his household, to give them their 
portion of meat in due season ? 

43 Blessed is that servant, whom his lord, 
when he cometh, shall find so doing. 

44 Of a truth I say unto you, ^ That he will 
make him ruler o\er all that he hath. 

45 But and if that senant say in his heart. 
My lord delaj^eth his coming ; and shall begin to 
beat the men-servants and maidens, and to eat 
and diink, and to be drunken ; 

46 The lord of that serA-ant will come, in a 
day M'hen he looketh not for him., and at an hour 
when he isnot aware, and will || cut him in sun- 
der, and will appoint him his portion with the 
unbelievers. 

47 '^ And that servant which knew his lord's 
will, and prepared not himself., neither did ac- 
cording to his \vill, shall be beaten with many 
stripes, 

48 ^ But he that knew not, and did commit 
things \yorthy of sti'ipes, shall be beaten with 
fev/ stripes.^ For unto whomsoever much is 
giv^n, of him sliall be much required ; and to 
whom men haAC committed much, of him they 
will ask the more. 

49 ^ ^I am come to send fire on the earth; 
and what will I, if it be already kindled ? 

50 == But I have a baptism to be baptized

ye say. There cometh a sho\A^er ; and so it is.

1 Christ preacheth repentance upon the punish- 
ment of the Galileans, and others. 6 The fruit- 
less fig-tree may not stand. 1 1 He healeth the 
crooked xvoman : IS sheweth the powerful work- 
ing of the word in the hearts of his chosen, by 
the parable of the grain of mustard-seed, and 
of leaven : 24 exhorteth to enter in at the 
strait gate: 31 and reproveth Herod and Je- 
rusalem. 
THERE were present at that season some 
that told him of the Galileans, Avhose blood 

Pilate had mingled with their sacrifices. 

2 And Jesus, answering, said unto them, 

* Suppose ye that these Galileans were sinners a see 
above all the Galileans, because they suffered '^^"l^-j;, 
such thmgs : 6- 9. i. 

3 I tell you. Nay ; but except ye repent, ye 
shall all likeA\ise perish. 

4 Or those eighteen upon whom the tower 
in Siloam fell, and slew them, think ye that they 
were |i siimers above all men that dwelt in Jeru- yor, 
salem ? '^**«'''» 

5 I tell you. Nay ; but except ye repent, ye 
shall all likewise perish. 

6 ^ He spake also this parable; ^A certain b isa. s. z. 
man had a fig-tree planted in his vineyaixl ; and fC^ 
he came, and sought fi:iiit thereon, and foimd 
none. 

7 Then said he unto the dresser of his viiie- 
yard. Behold, these three years I come seeking 
fruit on this fig-tree, and find none : cut it down ; 
why cumbereth it the ground ? 

8 And he, ans^vering, said unto liim. Lord, 
let it alone this year also^ till I shall dig about it, 
and dung it: 

9 And if it bear fruit, ivell; 'and if not, then 
after that thou shalt cut it down. 

10 ^ And he was teaching in one of the syna- 
gogues on the sabbath.

him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed 
from thine iniirmity. 

And ric laid hh hands on her ; and imme 



diatciy she vas made straight, and glorified God. 

14 And the ruler of the synagogue answered 
with indignation, because that Jesus had healed 
on the sabbath-day, and said unto tlie people, 
'There are si.K days in which men ought to 
work : in them, therefore, come and be healed, 
'and not on the sabbath-day. 

15 The Loixl then answered him, and said, 
77/0// hjpocrite ! ^doth not each one of you, on 
the sabbath, loose his ox or his ass fiom the 
stall, and lead him away to watering ? 

16 And ought not this woman, •" being a 
daughter of Abraham, \\hom Satan hath bound, 
lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this 
bond on the sabbath-day .' 

17 And when he had said diese things, all his 
adversaries were ashamed : and all the people 
rejoiced for all the glorious diings that were 
done by him. 

18 H ' Then said he, Unto w hat is the king- 
dom of God like ? and a\ hereunto shall 1 resem- 
ble it.' 

19 It is like a gi-ain of mustard-seed, ^\•hich a 
man took, and cast into his gaixlen : and it grew, 
and w axed a great tree ; and die fowls of the air 
lodgc-d in die branches of it.

21 It is like lea\'en, which a Avoman took, and

der the parable of the great supper., she^veth

who will be his disciples, to bear their cross, must 
make their accounts aforehand, lest with shame 
they revolt from him afterward, 34 arul become 
altogether unprof table, like salt that hath lost 
his savour. 
ND it came to pass, as he went into the 
house of one of the chief Pharisees, to eat 

bread on the sabbath-day, *that they watched »ciup- 

him. 

2 And, behold, there w as a certain man before 
him, w hich had the diopsy. 

3 And Jesus, answ ering, .spake unto die law- 
yers and Pharisees, sajing, '' Is it lawful to heal b Mat*, 
on die sabbadi-day ? ""• 

4 And they held their peace. And he took 
///;;/, and healed him, and let him go ; 

5 And answered tlKiii, saying, *= Which off^oent. 
you shall have an ass, or an ox, tallen into a pit, ciiap. 
and will not straightway pull him out on the"*' 
sabbath-day ? 

6 And they could not answer him r.gain to 
these things. 

7 II And he put forth a parable to those w hich 
were bidden, Vvhen he marked liow they chose 
out the chief looms ; saying unto them, 

8 When thou art bidden of any man to a wed- 
ding, sit not down in the highest room, lest a 
more honourable man than thou be bidden of 
him ; 

9 And he that bade thee and him, come and 
say to thee, Give this man place ; and thou begin 
w ith shame to take the lowest room. 

10 •'But when tlifui art bidden, go and .sit^prc .

12 t Then said he also to him that bade him,

not thy fiiends, nor thy brethren, neither thy 
kinsmen, nor t/iy rich neighbours ; lest they a].so 
bid thee acain, ajul a recompence be made thee.

poor, the maimed, the lame, the blind : 

14 And thou shalt be blessed ; for they can- 
not recompense thee : ^ for thou shalt be recom- 
pensed at the resurrection of the just. 

15 li And vhen one of them, that sat at meat 
with him, heard these things, he said imto him, 
'Blessed is he that shall eat bread in the king- 
dom of God. 

16 ^Then said he unto him, A certain man 
made a great supper, and bade manj- : 

17 And sent his servant at supper- time, to 
say to them that were bidden, ^ Come, for all 
things ai-e now ready. 

18 "" And they all with one co?iseiit began to 
make excuse. The fiist said unto him, I ha\-e 
bought a piece of ground, and I must needs go 
and -see it : I pray thee ha\e me excused. 

1 9 And another said, I haA^e bought fi^e yoke 
of oxen, and I go to prove them : I pi-ay thee 
have me excused. 

20 And another said, I have manied a wife, 
and therefore I camiot come.- 

21 So that ser\ant came, and shewed his lord 
these things. Then the master of the house, 
"being angry, said to his servant. Go out quickly 
into the stieets and lanes of the cjty, and bring 
in h.ither the poor, and the maimed, and the halt, 
and the blind. 

22 And the servant said, Lord, it is done as 
thou hast commajided, and yet there is room. 

23 And the lord said unto the servant, °Go 
out into the highA\"ays, and hedges, and compel 
them to come in, that my house may be filled. 

24 For I say unto you. That none of those 
men a\ hich AAcre bidden, shall taste of my supper. 

25 T[ And there Avent great multitudes with 
him : and he turned, and said unto them, 

26 P If any man come to me, and hate not his 
father, and mother, and wife, and childi'en, and 
bretluen, and sisters, yea, and his oaxti life also, 
he cannot be my disciple.

begin to mock him,

f We are unprofitable servants : v\'e have done 
that which was our duty to do. _^ 

\W And it came to pass, ^as he went to Je- fj„b_ 
rusalem, that he passed through the midst oi^^^^is- 
Samaria and Galilee. 

12 And as he entered into a certain Adllage, 
there met him ten men that Avere lepers, ^ which \:^<^^-^ 
stood afar off : 

13 And they lifted up their voices, and said, 
Jesus, Master, ha^'e mercy on us. 

14 And, when he saw them, he said unto 
them, ' Go shew yourselves unto the priests. 
And it came to pass, that, as they went, they 
were cleansed. 

15 And one of them, when he saw that he Avas 
healed, turned back, and with a loud voice 

^ glorified God ; ... 11^12"^ 

16 And fell doMTi on his face at his feet, giving 
him than.ks : and he was a Samaritan. 

17 Arid Jesus, answering, said. Were there 
not ten cleansed ? ^ but ^\"here are the nine ? _ 

18 There are not found that returned to give 
glory to God, save this stranger.^ 

19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy M'ay ; 
^ thy faith hath made thee \^^hole. 

20 "^ And when he ^^jas demanded of the Pha- 
risees, when the kingdom of God should come,^ 
he answered them, and said, The kingdom of 
God Cometh not || 5^'ith observation. |or, 

21 Neither shau they say, Lo here ! or, lo ^Irt*' 
there !_ for, behold, the kingdom of God is '^''^■ 

II \^ithin you. 11 or. 

22 T[ And he said unto the disciples. The days rSS"" 
•will come, \\\\^x\ ye shall desire to see one of the "■ '"' 
days of the Son of man, and ye shall not see it. 

23 " And they shall say to yoxx. See here ! or, "Matth. 
see there ! go not after them, nor follow thejn. 

24 ° For as the lightning, that lighteneth out of °^l^'^ 
the one p(^/-r under heaven, shineth unto the other 
part under heaven ; so shall also the Son of man 

be in his day. 

25 p But first must he suffer many things, and l^H^"^ 
be rejeited of this generation. 

26 1 And as it Avas in the days of Noe, so shall \^^^-l^ 
it be also in the days of the Son of man : 37i^o8/39.' 

27 They did eat, they drank, they married 
wives, they Avere given in marriage, until the 
day that Noe entered into the ark ; and the flood 
came, and destroyed them all. 

28 ■■ Likewise also, as it •\\2& in the days of rcen.ig. 
Lot : they did eat, they di-ank, they bought, they v'al 
sold, they planted, they builded : 

29 But the same day that Lot went out of 
Sodom, it rained fire and brimstone from hea- 
ven, and destroyed them all. 

30 Even thus shall it be, in the day when the 
Son of man is * revealed. 

31 In that day, he Avhich shall be upon the 
house-top, and his stuff in the house, let him not 
come doA\ n to take it aA\a5- : and he that is in the

"^ Of the importunate widoiv. 9 Of the Pharisee 
and the publican. 15 Children brought to Christ : 
18 rt ruler that would fJloiv Christ, but is hin- 
dered b'j his riches. 28 The reward of them 
that leave all for fits sake. 31 He foreshcweth 
his death, 35 and rcstorcth a blind man to his 
sif^ht. 

AND he spake a parable unto them to this end, 
that men ought " always to pray, and not to 
faint ; 

2 Saying. There w as in a city a judge, *• which 
ieared nf)t GdcI, neither regard' d man : 

3 And there was a widow in that city ; and she 
came unto him, saying, Avenge me of mine ad- 
\ ersarj-. 

4 And he would not for a while : but after- 
waixl he s;iid within himselfi^ Though I fear not 
G<xU nor regiud man ; 

5 Yet, Ixcause this widow troublelh mc, I 
will avenge her, ' lest by her continual coming 
she \\can- me. 

6 Anci the L«jrd said. Hear what the unjust 
judge saith. 

7 And shall not ^ God a\engc his own elect, 
w hich cry da\' and night unto him, though he 
bear long w ith them ? 

8 I tell \on, that he will avenge them speedily. 
Nevtilheless, when the Son of man cometh, 
sh;ill he find iiiith on the earth .' 

9 ^ .\nd he spake this parable unto certain 
whieli tiiisted in themselves || that they were 
righteous, and despised (jthei-s : 

10 Two men went up into the temple to pray : 
th<- one a Pharisee, and the other a publican. 

1 1 The Pharisee stotxl and * prayed thus w ith 
himself: God, I thank thee, tnat I am not as 
other men are, extortioners, unjust, adulterers, 
or even as this publican. 

12 I fast tw ice in the week, I give tithes of all 
that I possess. 

13 .Vnd the publican standing afar off, would 
»• not lift lip ^ so much as Ids eyes unto heaven, but 

smote u|x)n his breast, saying, God be merciful 
trj jne a sinner. 

14 1 tell you, this man went down to his house 
justified, rjihtr than the other : » for every one 
that exaltelli himself, shall be aba.sed ; and he 
that hnnilileth himself, shall Ix* exa'ted. 

15 ^ .\nd they brought unto him * also in- 
fjnts, tlut he would touch them : but when his 
discipUs saw it, they rebuked them. 

IG But Jesus called them iiuio him, and said.

unto you, WhosocAer shall ;,£.«•. 



not receive the kingdom of God as a little child, "•»>•'

18 Tl ^ And a certain ruler asked him, saying, kManh, 
Gocd master, ^^ hat shall I do to inheiit eternal ^'*' ***" 
life.' 

19 And Jesus said unto him, ^Vhy callest 
thou me good ? none is good, save one, that is, 
Gcd. 

20 Thou knowest the commandments, ' Do iEj«>d.ao, 
not commit adulterj-, Do not kill. Do not steal, "'*^'" 
Do not bear false witness. Honour thy father 

and thj' mother, 

21 And he said. All these have I kept from 
my youth up. 

22 Now, when Jesus heard these things, he 

said unto him, Yet lackest thou one thing : •" sell "^^ 
all that thou hast, and distribute unto the poor, 
and thou shalt have treasure in heaven ; and 
come, follo^x me. 

23 And when he heitrd this, " he was very J^M"**- 
sorrowful: for he was veiy rich. 

24 And w hen Jesus saw that he was vcrj' sor- 

ro\\ fill, he said, ° How hardly shall they tliat ^"*[*' - 
have riches enter into the kingdom of God ! 

25 For it is easier for a camel to go through a 
needle's eye, than for a rich man to enter into 
the kingdom of God. 

26 And they that heard it, said, Who then 
can be saved .'' 

27 And he said, •" The things >vhich are im- pjo-em. 
possible ^\'ith men, are possible with God. 

28 H "^ Then Peter said, Lo, we have left all, jm^»^ 
and follo\ved thee. 

29 And he said unto them. Verily I say unto 
you. There is no man that hath left house, or 
parents, or brethren, or w ife, or children, for the 
kingdom of God's sake, 

30 Who shall not ixxeive manifold more in 
this present time, and in the world to come, life 
everlasting. 

31 1[ =■ Then he took unto him the twehc, and M^'^.f 
said unto them. Behold, we go up to Jerusalem, 

and all things that are written by the prophets, 
concerning the Son of man, shall be accom- 
plished. 

32 For he shall be delivered unto 'the Gen- 1*0111,1- 
tiles, and shall Ix mocked, and spitefully en- 
treated, and sjiitted on : 

33 And they shall scourge him, and put him 
to death : and the third day he shall rise again. 

34 And they ' understood none of these things ; ^ck»i«- 
and this .siiying w as hid from them, neither knew 
they the things w hich were spoken. 

35 ^ " And it came to pass, that, as he was ^*'^'*- 
cotne nigh unto Jericho, a certain blind man sat Mirkm*. 
by the way-side, begging : 

36 And healing die multitude pass by, he

SQ'^Aiid they which went before rebuked 
him, that he should hold hi.s peace : but he cried 
so much the more, T/iau Son of David, have 
mercy on me. 

40 And Jesus stood, and commanded him to 
be brought unto him ; and, when he was come 
near, he asked him, 

41 Saying, What wilt thou that I shall do unto 
thee ? And he said. Lord, that I may receive my 
sight. 

, 42 And Jesus said unto him, Receive thy 

sight : * thy faith hath saved thee. 
43 And immediately he received his sight, 

and follow ed him, '' glorifying God : and all the 

people, \\hen thev saw it, gave praise unto God.

1 Of Zaccheus a publican. 13 The ten pieces of 
money. 35 Christ rideth into Jerusalem ivith 
triumph .-41 iveepeth over it : 45 drimeth the 
buyers and sellers out of the temple : 47 teach- 
eth daily in it. The rulers ivoidd han^e destroyed 
him, but for fear of the people. 

AND * Jesus entered and passed through Je- 
richo. 

2 And, behold, there ivas a man named Zac- 
cheus, \\ hich was the chief among the publi- 
ciuis, and he was rich. 

3 And he sought to see Jesus who he was, 
and could not for the press, because he was lit- 
tle of stature. 

4 And he ran before, and climbed up into a 
sycamore-tree to sfe him; for he was to pass 
that ivay. 

5 And, when Jesus came to the place, ""he 
looked up, and saw him, and said unto him, 
Zaccheus, make haste, and come down ; for to- 
day I must abide at thy house. 

6 And he made haste, and came down, "= and 
recei^ ed him joyfully. 

7 And w hen tliey saw it, they all murmured, 
saying. That he was gone to be guest with a man 
that is a sinner. 

8 And Zaccheus stood, and said unto the 
Lord, Behold, Lord, the half of my goods I give 
to the poor : and if 1 have taken any thing from 
any man by false accusation, I restore him four- 
fold. 

9 And Jesus said unto him, ^ This day is sal- 
vation come to this house, forasmuch as he also 
is a son of Abraham. 

10 ^ For the Son of man is come to seek and 
to save that which was lost. 

11 T[ And as they heard these things, he ad- 
ded, and spake a parable, because he was nigh 
to Jerusalem, and because they thought that the 
kingdom of God should -immediately appear. 

12 ^He said, therefore, A certain nobleman 
went into a far country, to receive for himself a 
kingdom, and to return. 

13 And he called his ten servants, and deli- 
vered them ten * pounds, and said unto them. 
Occupy till I come. 

14 But his citizens hated him, and sent a mes- 
sage after him, saying. We will not have this 
man to reign over us. 




XIX. Of the ten pieces of money . 901 

15 And it came to pass, that, v. hen he was re- 
turned, having received the kingdom, then he 
commanded these servaiits to be called unto him, 
to \\ hom he had given the money, that he might 
know how much every man had gained by 
trading. 

16 Then came the first, saying. Lord, thy 
pound hath gained ten pounds. 

17 And he said unto him, ^ Well, thou good gMatth. 
servant : because thou hast been faithful in a a;^.]6.io. 
verj' little, have thou authority' over ten cities. 

18 And the second came, saying, Lord, thy 
pound hath gained five pounds. 

19 And he said likewise to him. Be thou also 
over five cities. 

20 And another came, saying, Lord, behold, 
here is thy pound, Avhich I have kept laid up in a 
napkin ; 

21 For I feared thee, ^because thou art an h Matth. 
austere man ; thou takest up that thou laidest ^'*' 
not down, and reapest that thou didst not sow. 

22 And he saith unto him, 'Out of thine own i2Sain. 
mouth will I judge thee, thou wicked senant. Jobw.e. 
Thou knewest that I was an austere man, taking 5;^^^ 
up that I laid not doA\ n, and reaping that I did 

not sow : 

23 Wherefore then gavest not thou my money 
into tlie bank, that at my coming, I might ha-\-e 
required mine own with usury ? 

24 And he said unto them that stood by. 
Take from him. the pound, and giA e it to him 
that hath ten pounds : 

25 (And they said unto him. Lord, he hatii 
ten pounds:) 

26 For I say unto you, ''That unto eveiy one k Matth. 
which hath, shall be gi\-en; and fi-om him that It^,^ 
hath not, even that he hatli shall be taken aAvay 
from him. 

27 But those mine enemies which would not 
that I should reign over them, bring hither, and 
slay them before me. 

28 If And when he had thus spoken, he went 
before, 'ascending up to Jeru.salem. j Ma^k 

29 " And it came to pass, when he was come ^°- ^^■

him, and bring him hither. 

31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose 
him ? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the 
Lord hath need of liim. 

o2 And they that were sent, went their way, 
and found even as he had said unto them. 

33 And, as they were loosing the colt, the 
owners thereof said unto them, Why loose ye 
the colt ? 

34 And they said. The Lord hath need of him.

The parable of the viiiei/afd. 

I 



8 And Jesus said imto them, Neitlier tell 
you by w hat authority- I do these things. 

9 1 Then begiui he to speak to the people this 
parable ; ** A ceilain man planted a \ ineyard, and 
let it forth to husbiuidmen, and went into a far 
countiT for a long lime. 

10 And at the season, he sent a senant to the 
husbandmen, that they should gi\ e him of the 
fruit of th*viney;ird : but the liusbandmen beat 
him, ;m^1 sent him away empty. 

1 1 And agiiin he sent another servant : and 
thej' Ix-at him iilso, luid entreated hij7i sliame- 
fullj', and sent ///';;/ away empty. 

12 And again he sent a third: 'and they 
wounded him also, and cast him out. 

13 Then said the lord of the vineyard, What 
shall I do.' I will send mv Ijeloved son: it 
may be, they ivill reverence Jiiniy when they see 
him. 

14 But, when the husbandmen saw him, they 
reasoned among themselves, saying, This is the 
heir: '^conie, let us kill him, that the inhcritiincc 
may be ours. 

15 So thev cast him out of the v ineyard, and 
killed him. What, thererore, shall the lord of the 
vine5"aid do imto them .' 

16 He shall come and dcstroj' these husband- 
men, and shiill give ^the vineya d to others. 
And, when diej- heard it, they said, God forbid. 

17 And he belield iheni, raid said. What is 
this then tliixt is written, '' 'Fhe stone which the 
builders rejected, die same is become die head 
of the corner ? 

18 AVhosoever shall fall upon diat stone, 
shall be bioken; 'biit on whomsoever it shall full, 
it will giind him to powder. 

19 ^ And the chief priests and the scribes, the 
same hour, sought to lay hands on him ; and they 
feared the people : for they perceiv ed diat he had 
spoken this parable agiiinst them. 

20 And they ^ w atched ////?/, and sent forth 
spies w liich should feign themselves just men, 
that they might take hold of his words, diat so 
they might deliver him unto die power ai\d au- 
thority of the governor. 

21 And they asked him, saying, 'Master, we 
know that thou sayest and teachest righdy, nei- 
ther acceptest thou the person of any, but te;ich- 
est the w ay of God || tnily : 

22 Is it law ful for us to give tribute unto Ce- 
sar, or no ? 

23 But he perceived tiicir craftiness, and said 
unto them, Why tempt ye me ? 

24 Shew me a || penny. Whose image and su- 
persciiption hath it? They answered, and said, 
Cesar's. 

25 And he said unto them, " Render, there- 
fore, imto Cesar, the things which Ix; Cesar's, 
and unto God, the things which be God's. 

26 And they could not take hold of his words 
iKfoi-e the peoi)le ; and they marvelled at his an- 
swer, and held their paice.

Of the resurrection. CHAP. 

28 Saying;, Master, Moses -wrote unto us, °\i \ 
any man's brother die, ha^'i^g a ^vife, and he die ' 
A\ ithout children, that his brother sliouid take his 
^\"iie, arid raise up seed unto his brother. 

29 There were, therefore, se\"en brethren: and 
the first took a v/ife, and died ^\ ithout children. 

30 And the second took her to a\ ife, and he 
died childless. _ ^ M. 

3 1 And the third took her ; and i^ike man- 
ner the seven also: and they left no ^Bldzen, 
and died. 

32 Li-ist of all, the \voman died also. 

33 Therefore, in the resunection, w hose -wife 
of them is she ? for seven had her to wife. 

34 And Jesus, answering, said unto them, 
p The children of this %\ orld many, and aie given 
in mairiage : 

35 But 'they which shall be accounted ^^or- 
thy to obtain that Avorld, and the resurrection 
from the dead, neither marry nor ai^e given in 
marriage. 

o^ Neither can they die any more : for they 
are equal unto the angels, and are the childi-en 
of God, "■ bemg the chiicken of the resun'ection, 

57 Now that tiie dead are i-aised, ^even Moses 
shevvcd at the bush, a\ hen he calleth the Lord, 
the God of Abvaiiam, and the God of Isaac, and 
the God of Jacob. 

38 For he is not a God of the dead, but of the 
living ; ' for all live unto him. 

39 ir Then certain of the scribes, answering, 
said. Master, thou hast well said. 

40 And alter that they durst not ask him any 
question at all. 

41 \\ And he said unto them, "* How say they 
that Christ is David's son ? 

42 And David himself saith in the book of 
Psdms, '"' The Lord said imto my Lord, Sit 
thou on my right hand, 

43 Till I make thine enemies thy footstool. 

44 David therefore calleth him I^rd ; how is 
he then his son ? 

45 ^ Then, in the audience of all the people, 
he said unto his disciples, 

46 Bev/are of the scribes, "^ A\hich desire to 
walk in long rol^es, and love greetings in the 
markets, and the highest seats in the synagogues, 
and the chief rooms at feasts ; 

47 ^ Which devour widows' houses, and for 
a shew make long piayers: the same shall recei^■e 
greater damnation. 

CHAP. XXL 

1 Christ commaideth the poor imdoxv. 5 Hefore- 
telleth the destruction of the temple, and of the 
(^iiy of Jerusalem: 25 the sigm also which shall 
be before the last day. 34 He ex/wrteth them to 
be 'Watchful. 

ND he looked up, * and saw the rich men 
casting their gifts into the treasury. 

2 And he saw also a certain poor ^\idow, cast- 
ing m thither two || mites. 

3 And he said, Of a truth I say unto vou. 
That tliis poor widow hath cast in more than 
tliey ail. 



A 



. XXI. Jerusalem'' s destruction foretold. 

4 For all these have, of their abundance, cast 
in imto the offerings of God : but she, of her pe- 
nurj-, hath cast in '' all the lix'ing tliat she had. 

5 % *" And as some spake of the teiuple, how 
it -was adorned witii goodly stones and gifts, he 
said, 

6 As for these things which ye behold, the 
days v.ill come, in the av hich ^ there shall not be 
left one stone upon anotlier, that shall not be 
thrown do^^■n. 

7 If And they asked him, saying, Master, but 
" when shall these things be ? and vAy^A sign ivill 
there be v.hen these things shall come to pass .' 

8 And he said, Take heed that ye be not de- 
ceived : *~ for many shall come in my name, say- 
ing, I am Christ; and the time di-a\\eth near : go 
ye not, therefore, after them. 

9 But when ye shall hear of wai's and commo- 
tions, be not ten-ified: for these tilings must 
first come to pass; but the end is not by and by. 

10 s Then said he unto them, Nation shall 
rise against nation, and kingdom against king- 
dom : 

11 And great earthquakes shall be in divers 
places, and famines, and pestilences ; and fear- 
ful sights, and great signs, shall there ht fi-om 
heaven. 

12 But before all these, ^ they shall lay their 
hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you 
up to tlie synagogues, and into prisons, being 
brought before kings and rulers for my name's 
sake: 

13 ' And it shall turn to you for a testimony. 

14 ^ Settle it, therefore, in your hearts, not to 
meditate before, ^\"hat ye shall answer : 

15 For I ^viU gi^e you a mouth and wisdom, 
vihich all j'our ad^^ersaries shall not be ^ able to 
gainsay, nor resist. 

16 And ye shall be betrayed bodi ""by parents, 
and. brethren, and kinsfolks, and fiiends ; and 
some of you shall they cause to be put to death. 

17 Ajid ye shall be hated of all men for my 
name's sake. 

18 °But there shall not an hair of your head 
perish. 

19 In your patience possess ye your souls. 

20 °And when ye shall see Jerusalem com- 
passed with ai-mies, then know tliat the desola- 
tion thereof is nigh. 

21 Then let them whiefe are in Judea, flee to 
the mountains; and let tliem wliich are in the 
midst of it, depart out; and let not them that 
ai-e in the countries, enter thereinto. 

22 For these be the days of vengeance, "that 
all things which are 'VATitten may be ftilfiUed. 

23 But woe unto tiiem that m^e with, child, and 
to them that gi\-e suck in those days : for there 
shall be g:-eat distress in the limd, ai^d WTath upon 
this people. 

24 And they shall £ill by die edge of the 
sword, and shall be :ed a\\'ay captive into all na-

SigrL^ precedm^ the last day. 
in the inoon, and in tlie stars; aiid upon the 
earth distress of nations, with perplexity ; the 
sea and the waves ro^iring : 

26 Men's hearts faihng them for fear, and for 
looking after tliose things which are coming on 
the eartli: for tlie powers of hea\en shall be 
shaken. 

27 And then skill they ' see the Son of man 
coming in a cloud, with power and tjreat glory. 

28 And when these things begin to come to 
pass, then look up, and lift up your heads : ' for 
your redemption draweth nigh. 

29 And he spake to them a parable ; "Behold 
the fig-t: ce, and all the trees ; 

30 W'hen tiiey now shoot forth, ye see, and 
know of your ownselves, that summer is no\v 
nigh at hand. 

31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things 
conie to pass, know ye tkit the kingdom of God 
is nigh at hand. 

32 Verily I say unto 50U, This generation shall 
not pass away, till all Ix- fulfilled. 

33 ' Hea\ en and earth shall pass away ; but 
my words shall not pass aw ay. 

34 Ti And take heed to yoursehcs, lest at any 
time your hearts \)C o\ erchargcd w ith surfeiting, 
and drunkenness, iuid ciu^es of this life, and ^0 
that day come upon \ou unawares. 

35 tor as a snare skill it come on all them 
tliat dwell on the face of the whole earth. 

3G ^ \\'atrh ye, therefore, and pray always, 
that ye ma\ be accounted worthy to escape all 
these diitigs that shall come to pass, and to stand 
before the Son of man. 

37 ^ And in tric day-time he was teaching in 
die temple : and * at night he went out, and 
alxxle in the mount, that is called t/ie mount of

thy brethren. 

33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready 
to go with thee, both into prison, and to death. 

34 * And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock 
shall not crow this day, before that tliou shalt 
thrice deny that thou knowest me, 

35 TI ''And he said unto them, When I sent 
you -without purse, and scrip, and shoes, lacked 
ye tmy thing? And they said. Nothing. 

36 Then said he unto them, But now, he that 
hath a purse, let him take zV, and likewise his 
scrip ; and he that hath no sword, let him sell his 
garment, and buy one. 

37 For I say unto you, That this that is writ- 
ten must yet be accomplished in me, ^ And he 
\\2& reckoned among the transgressors : for the 
things concerning me have an end. 

38 And they said. Lord, behold, here arc 
t^vo swords. And he said unto them. It is 
enough. 

39 H '^ And he came out, and went, as he was 
wont, to the mount of Oli\'es ; and his disciples 
also followed him : 

40 y And when he was at the place, he said 
unto them. Pray that ye enter not into tempta- 
tion. 

41 And he was withdrawn from them * about 
a stone's cast, and kneeled down, and prayed, 

42 Saying, Father, if thou be willing, remove 
this cup from me : nevertheless, not my will, but 
tliine, be done. 

43 And there appeared ^an angel unto him 
from heaven, strengthening liim. 

44 And, being in an agony, "^ he prayed more 
earnestly : and his sweat was, as it were, great 
drops of blood falling do^^Ti to the ground. 

45 And when he rose up from prayer, and 
^^-as come to his disciples, he found them sleep-

46 And said unto them. Why sleep ye ? rise 
and *^ pray, lest ye enter into temptation. 

47 TI And while he yet spake, ''behold, a mul- 
titude, and he that was called Judas, one of the 
twelve, w^ent before them, and drew near imto 
Jesus, to kiss him. 

48 But Jesus said unto him, Judas, betrayest 
thou the Son of man with a kiss .'

52 Then Jesus said unto the chief priests, 
and captains of the temple, and the elders, which 
were come to him, *'Be ye come out, as against 
a thief, \^ ith swords and staves ? 

53 When I was daily with you in the temple, 
ye stretched forth no hands against me : but this 
is your hour, and the power of darkness.

brought him into the high priest's house. And 
Peter followed afar off. 

pS ""^ And w hen they had kindled a fire in the 
midst of the hall, and were set down together, 
Peter sat down among them. 

56 But a certain maid beheld him, as he sat 
by the fire, and earnestly looked upon him, and 
said, ' This man was also with him. 

57 And he denied him, saying, Woman, I 
know him not. 

58 And after a little while, another saw him, 
and said, ^ Thou art also of them. And Peter 
said, Man, I am not. 

59 And about the space of one hour after, 
another confidently affirmed, saying. Of a truth 
this felloxv also was with him ; ' for he is a Gali- 
lean. 

60 And Peter said, Man, I know not what 
thou sayest. And immediately, while he yet 
spake, the cock cre^v. 

61 And the Lord turned, and looked upon 
Peter ; and Peter remembered the w ord of the 
Lord, how he had said unto him. Before the 
cock crow, thou shalt deny me thi ice. 

62 And Peter went out, " and wept bitterly. 

63 TI And the men that held Jesus, " mocked 
him, and smote him. 

64 And when they had blindfolded him, they 
struck him on the face, and asked xiim, saying, 
Prophesy, a^i ho is it that smot^ thee .'' 

65 And many other things blasphemously 
spake they against him. 

66 IF ° And as soon as it was day, the elders 
of the people, and the chief priests, and the 
scribes, came together, and led him into their 
council,

he said unto them, If I tell you, ye ^vill not be-

led him unto I'iUUe.

found iliisytZ/ya' '" uerverting the nation, and Ibr- 
bidding to j?i\e tribute to Cesar, saying tlial he 
liimself is Christ a king. 

3 * And Pilate lusked him, saying. Ait thou 
the kingof the Jews ? And he answered him, and 
said, 'l'h«ni sa\ est it.

tile people, '' 1 iind no iaull in this man. 

5 And lluy were the more herce, saying, He 
stineth up die people, teaching diroughout all 
Jew IT, beginning from Galilee to diis place. 

6 U'hen Pilate heaid of (ialilee, he asked 
^^het]1er the man were a Galilean. 

7 And as s(K)n as he knew that he belonged 
'imto HeKxl's jurivdieUon, he sent him to He- 
rod, who liimseli also ^^ils at Jerusalem at that 
time. 

8 1i And when Herod saw Jesus, he was ex- 
ceeding glad : ^ lor he w as dc sirous to see him ol 
a long season, because « he had heard many things 
ot him ; and he hoped to have seen some miracle 
done by him. 

9 Then he questioned \\itli him in many 
words; but he answered him nothing. 

10 And the chief priests and scrilxrs stood, and 
vehemently accused him. 

b iM. «. J. 11 And HchkI, w ith his men of w ar, '' set liim 
at nought, and mocked him, midiirrayed liim in a

12 II ^Vnd the s:ime day Pilate and Herod 
>Ac»4r.'were made triends together: for before they 

were at enniitv between themselves. 

13 i; "^ And' Pibtc when he had called toge-

14 Said unto them, 'Ye liave brought this

23 And they w ere instant w ith loud voices, 
requiring that he might be crucified : and the 
voices of them and of the chief priests pre\ ailed. 

24 And Pilate || ga\e sentence that it should 
be as they required. 

25 And he released unto them, him that for 
sedition and murder \\ as cast into prison, ^^ horn 
they had desired : but he deli\ ere-cl Jesus to their 
will. ^ 

26 \ ^d, as they led him away, p they laid pMat*. 
hold upon one Simon, a Cyrenian, coming out Markii.i;. 
of tlie,eountn,', and on him they laid the cross, 
that Itfe might bear it after Jesus. 

27 And there tbllo\\ed him a great company 
of people, and of women, which also bewiiiled 
and lamented him. 

28 But Jesus tuniing unto them, said. Daugh- 
ters ol Jerusalem, w eep not for me, but w eep for 
yourselves, and lor \our children. 

29 For, behold, i die da\ s iue coming, in the |j*^?p-"- 
which they shall say. Blessed arc die bairen, 
and the wombs that never bare, and the i)aps 
\\hich never gave suck. 

30 ' Then shall they begin to say to die moun- nw- =• v>. 
tains. Fall on us, aiid to die hills. Cover us. r^v". w.' 

31 ' For if they do these things in a green tree, slPe^4ar. 
w hat shall be done in the cby ? 

32 Ti ' And there were also two others, male- y^JJ*- 
factors, led with him to be put to death. 

33 And \\hen they were come to the place 
w hich is called || Calvitiy, there they crucified |^^'/„„ 
liini, and die malefactors ; one on the right hand, '/^ViS, 
and die other ox\ the left. JJ^^ 

34 Then s;iid Jesus, Father, "forgive diem, "Ac»7.«). 
for thev know not what they do. ^ And they wM«tK 
parted Iiis raiment, and cast lots, 

35 *|[ And the people stood beholding: and 
die rulers also w idi tliem, derided him, saying, 
He saved others ; let him saA e himself, if he be 
Christ, the chosen of God. 

36 And the soldiers also mocked him, coming 
to him, and oflering him \inegar, 

37 And siiying. If thou be the king of the 
Jews, save diyself. 

38 And a superscription also was ^\ rittcn over 
him, in letters of (}reek, and Latin, and Hebrew, 
- THIS IS THE KING OF THE JEWS. 

39 U And one of the malefactors, w hich were 
liangcd, '' railed on him, siiying. If thou be Christ, 1^^ 
save divself, and us. 

40 But tJie other, answering, rebuked him, 
saying. Dost not thou feiir God, seeing thou ait 
in the same condeninaticjn ? 

41 And w c indeed justly ; for we receive the 
due reward of our deeds: but this man hath 
done nodiing amiss. 

H2 And he siud unto Jesus, Lord, remember 
me when thou comcst into diy kingdom. 

43 And Jesus s;iid unto him, Verily I say unto 
thee. To-day slialt diou be with me in ^jiaradise. 

44 ^ And it w;is about the sixth hour, and 
there was darkness over all the fl eaith until the

46 T[ And when Jesus had cried ^vith a loud 
\oice, he said, ^Father, into thy hands I com- 
mend my spirit : and having said thus, ^ he ga^"e 
lip the ghost. 

47 % Now, when the centurion saw what was 
done, he glorified God, saying, Certainly tiiis 
■was a righteous man. 

48 And all the people that cam.e together to 
that sight, beholding the things which were done, 
smote their breasts, and returned. 

49 And all his acquaintance, and the women 
that followed him from Galilee, stood afar off, 
beholding these things. 

50 11 And, behold, there ivas a man named 
•= Joseph, a counsellor ; and he ivas a gaad man, 
and a just ; 

51 (The same had not consented to the coun- 
sel and deed of them :) he vjas of Arimatliea, a 
citj' of the Jews ; who also liimself waited for 
the kingdom of God : 

52 ^ This ?nan went unto Pilate, and begged 
the body of Jesus. 

53 _And he took it down, ^and wrapped 
it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that Mas 
he"\rji in stone, ^\"herein ne\"er man before was 
Laid. 

54 And that day was the preparation, and the 
sabbath drew on. 

55 1| And the ^ women also, A^hich came with 
him fi-om Galilee, foUoAved after, and beheld the 
sepulchre, and howliis bodj' was laid. 

56 And they returned, ^and prepai-ed spices 
and ointments, and rested the sabbath-day, ^ ac- 
cording to the commandment. 

CHAP. XXIV. 
1 Christ'' s resurrection is declared by tivo angels to 
the %vo7nen that come to the sepulchre. 9 These 
report it to others. 13 Christ himself appeareth 
to the two disciples that went toEmmaus. 36 Af- 
terxvard he appeareth to t/ie apostles, and re- 
proveth their unbelief: 47 gi'veth them a charge : 
49 promiseth the Holy Ghost: 51 and so as- 
caideth into heaven. 

NOW, *upon the first day of the week, verj- 
early in the morning, they came unto the 
sepulchre, ^ bringing the spices which they had 
prepared, and certain others with them. 

2 And they found the stone "^ rolled away from 
the sepulchre. 

3 And they entered in, and found not the body 
of the Lord Jesus. 

4 And it came to pass, as they were much 
perplexed thereabout, behold, "^two men stood 
by them in shining garments. 

5 And as Xhty were afi-aid, and bowed down 
their faces to the earth, they said unto them. 
Why seek je j| the living among the dead ? 

6 He is not here, but is risen. ''Remember 
hoyv he spake unto you, when he was yet in 
Galilee, 

7 Saying, The Son of man must be delivered 
into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, 
and the third day rise again. 

8 ^ And they remembered his words, 

9 And retiuTied from the sepulchre, and ^told

and resurrection. 907 



all these things unto the eleven, and to all the 
rest. 

10 It was Mary Magdalene, and ''Joanna, and ^^^ 
IVIary the mother of James, and other women that ». 3. 
%vere with them, which told these tilings unto tlie 
aposties. 

11 And tlieir words seemed to them as idle 
tales ; and they ' believed them not. » ver. 25. 

12 If ^ Then arose Peter, and I'an imto the se- k John 
pulchre ; and, stooping dowTi, he beheld the linen ^•^^^• 
clothes laid by themselves, and depaited, won- 
dering in himself at tliat M'hich Mas come to pass. 

13 1[^And, behold, two of tliem went that mark 
same day to a village called Emmaus, which ^®' ^• 
was from Jerusalem about threescore furlongs. 

14 And they talked together of all these things 
which had happened. 

15 And it came to pass, that, Avhile they com- 
muned together, and reasoned, Jesus himself 
drew ™ near, and went with them . m vor. m. 

16 But their eves were holden, "that thevnjohnM. 
should not know him. ' 14.6-21.4. 

17 And he said unto them. What manner of 
communications are diese that j^e have, one to 
another, as ye -^v^alk, and are sad ? 

18 And the one of them, ° whose name was ojohn 
Cleopas, answering, said unto him, Art thou"'^*' 
only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not knonii 

the things "which are come to pass there in these 
days ? 

19 And he said unto them. What things? And 
they saidunto him, ^ Concerning Jesus of Naza- pMatti.. 
reth, Avhich was a prophet, mighty in deed and ^^'"' 
Avord, before God and all the people : 

20 And how tlie cliief priests, and oui' rulers, 

5 delivered him to be condemned to death, and qchap. 
have crucified him. ^^' ^' 

21 But wt trusted that it had been he, "■ wliich ^aap. 
should have _ redeemed Israel : and, beside all Acts'i.c. 
this, to-day is tlie third (ky, since ihese things 
\\ere done. 

22 Yea, = and ceitain AA'omen also of our com- s Matta 
pany made us astonished, w hich were early at ^^' ^* 
the sepulchre ; 

23 And, AA'hen they found not his body, they 
came, saying that they also had seen a vision of 
angels, wliich said that he was ali\e. 

24 'And certain of them which were mth us, tver.ii 
went to the sepulchre, and fomid it even so as die 
women had said ; but him they saw not. 

25 Then he said unto them, O fools, and 
sloAv of heart to believe all that the prophets 
have spoken ! 

26 "^ Ought not Christ to have suffered these "Ver. 46'. 
things, and to enter into his gloiy ? 

27 ^ And beginning at Moses, and all the pro- 
phets, he expounded unto them, in all the scrip- 
tures, the things concerning himself. 

28 And they di^ew nigh unto the village, \\\i\- 
ther they went : and " he made as though he s ceii. 
would haA'e gone further. 

29 But they ^ constrained him, sa\Tng, Abide 
with us : for it is toward evening, and the diiy is 
far spent. And he went in to tany with them.

26 John answered them, sf.yiiig, ^I baptize 
with water : but tliere standeth one among you 
whom ye know not ; 

27 He it is, who coming after me is ''pre- 
fen-ed before me, whose shoe's latche't I am not 
worthy to unloose. 

28 These tilings were done in Eediabara, be- 
yond Jordan, ^ where John v. as baptizing. 

29 ^ The next day Johji seeth Jesus coming 
tmto liim, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, 
which !i taketh a-^vay the sin of the world ! 

30 This is he of whom I said, Aftei- me coni- 
eth a man which is prefen-ed before me : for he 
was before me. 

31 And I knew him not : but that he should 
be made manifest to Israel, therefore am I come 
baptizing with water. 

32 ^ A.nd Jolin bare record, saying, I saw the 
Spirit descending from heaven hke a do^■e, and 
it abode upon him. 

33 And I knew him not : but he that sent me 
to baptize widi water, die same said untome, 

* Upon whom thou shalt see the Spirit desclhd- 
ing, and remaining on him, the same is he which 
baptizedi with the Holy Ghost. 

34 And I saw, and bare record, that this is 
the Son of God. 

35 l! Again, the next day after, John stood, and 
tx'.'o of his disc ipies ; 

36 And, looking upon Jesus as he walked, 
^ he saith. Behold the Lan.b of God ! 

37 And the t^vo disciples heai'd liim speak, 
and they followed Jesus. ' 

58 Then Jesus turned, and saw diem foUoA^"- 
iug, and saith unto them, ^yhat seek ye ? They 
said tmto him, Rabbi, Cv.hichisto say, beuigui- 
teipreted, Master,) where j'; dweUest thou ? 

• 59 He saith unto them. Come and see. They 
came and saw where he dw elt, and abode wuth 
him that day : for it was |t about the tenth hour. 

40 One of the two ^','hich heard John speak, 
and followed him, ^vas "^Andre-w, Simon Peter's 
brother. 

41 He first findeth his own brother Simpn,

1 Christ talketh with a woman of Samaria^ and 
re^eakth himsef unto her. 27 His disciples 
marvel. 31 He declareth to them his zeal for 
God''s glory. 39 Many_ Samaritans believe on 
him. 43 He departeth into Galilee, and healeth 
the ruler'' s son that lay sick at Capernaum 

WHEN, therefore, the Lord knew \\o\ 
Pharisees had heaixl, that Jesus made 
baptized more disciples than John, 

2 (Though Jesus himself baptized not, 
his disciples,) 

3 He left Judea,' and departed again 
Galilee. 

4 ''And he must needs go through Samaria. 

5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which 
is called Sychai-, near to the pai-cel of ground 
" that Jacob g.ae to his son Joseph. 

6 Now Jacob's well was tliere. Jesus, there- 
fore, being wearied A^ith Aij jou.ney, sat thus on 
the well : ajid it was about the sixth hour. 

7 There comeih a woman of Samaria to 
draw water. Jesus saith unto her, Gi^e me to 
drink. 

8 (For his disciples were gone away unto the 
city to buy meat.) 

9 Then saith the woman of Samaria unto 
him, How is it that thou, being a Jew-, askest 
drink of me, m hich am a woman of Samaria ? 
(•^for the Jev^•s have no dealings with the Sa- 
maritans.) 

10 Jesus answered, and said unto her, If thou 
knev^-est die gift of God, and wlio it is that saith 
to thee, Give me to drink ; thou wouidest ha^e 
asked of him, and he viould have given thee

14 But whosoever diinketh of the water that 

I shall give him, _^ shall never thirst; but the^°'/r-«-

and com.e hither. 

17 The woman ansAvered, and said, I have no 
husband. Jesus said unto her. Thou hast well 
said, I have no husband ; 

18 For tliou hast had fi\-e husbands, and he 
whom thou now hast, is not thy husband: in 
tliat saidst thou ti-uiy.

26 Jesus saith unto her, 1 1 diat speak unto 5 ^•

27 H And upon this came his disciples, and 
mai-velled that he^ talked with the -woman : yet 
no man said, What seekest thou ? or, 'V\''hy 
talkest thou \\ ith her ? 

28 The woman then left her water-pot, and 
^vent her way into the city, and saith to the 
men, 

29 Come, see a man which ""told me all'tliings rverse 2.«, 
that ever I did : is not this the Cliiist ? 

30 Then they went out of the city, and came 
unto him. 

31 Tl In the mean- while his disciples praj-ed 
him, saying. Master, eat. 

32 But he said unto them, I have meat to eat 
that ye know not of. 

33 Therefore said the disciples one to another^ 
Hath anj^ man brought him aught to eat .'' 

34 Jesus saith unto them, ^ My meat is to do the jchap-e- 
will of liim that sent me, and to finish his \\ork. 

35 Say not ye. There ai-e yet four months,

and Jesus went up to Jenii-alem. 

2 Now diere is at Jerusalem, by die sheep-

tongue, Bethesda, kiving five porches. 

3 In these kiy a gtcat multitude of impotent 
folk, of bli; d, halt, widiered, waiting for die 
moving of the A\aler, 

4 For an ''angel went down, at a certain sea- 
son, into the pool, and troublecl die water: who- 
soe\er then first, aftei the troubling of the water, 
stepped in, was made a\ hole of wliatsoever dis-

5 .\nd a certain mim was there, which had an 
infirmity, thirtj- and eiqhl years. 

6 \Viien Jesus saw him lie, and knew tliat he 
had been now a long time in that case, he saith 
unto him, Wilt diou be made w hole .' 

7 The impotent man answered liim. Sir, I 
liinc no man, when the water is tioubled, to put

8 Jesus siiidi unto him, •• Rise, take up thy

9 And immediately the man was made \\ hole,

quickeneth them; even^bo the Son quickeneth 
whom he ^vill. 

22 For the Fatlier judge th no man ; ""but hath 
committed all judgment unto the Son: 

23 That all men should honour the Son, even 
as they honour the Father. He that honoureth 
not tlie Son, honoureth not the Father, wliich 
hath sent him. 

24 \^erily, verily, I say unto you. He that 
heaieth my word, and belie^'eth on him that sent 
me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into 
condemnation ; but is passed from death unto life. 

25 Verily, verily, I say xmtoyou, " The hour is 
coming, and now is, ^vhen die dead shall hear 
the \oice ol' the Son ol God : and tliey tliat hear, 
shall li-se. 

26 For as the Father hath life in himself, so 
hath he given to the Son, to have life in himself ; 

27 And hath given him authoritj^ to execute 
judgnient also, because he is the Son of man. 

28 MarA-el not at this : for the hour is coming, 
in the which all that are in the graves, shall hear 
liis voice, 

29 ° And shall come forth ; they that have 
done good, unto the resuirection of life, and 
they that ha\-e done e^il, unto the resuiTCCtion 
of damnation. 

30 I can of mine own self do nothing : as I 
hear, I judge, and my judgment is just; because 
I seek not mine awn Mill, but the will of the Fa- 
ther which hath sent me. 

31 "^ F If I bear Vvitness of myself, my witness 
is not true. 

32 'i There is another that beareth_ witness of 
me, and I know that tlie -witness ^vliich he wii- 
nesseth of me is true. 

33 Ye sent unto Jolm, "^ and he bare vritness 
unto the truth. 

34 But I recei\'e not testimony from man : 
but these things I say, that ye might be sa\ed. 

35 He was a burning and a shining light; 
^ and ye v.ere willing for a season to rejoice in 

?Jar1-6.20. his light. 

36 IT But I have gi-eater witness than that of 
John ; for the works \vhich the Father hath given 

t Chap. 3.2. me to finish, •'the same works that I do, bear 
■witness of me, that the Father hath sent me. 

37 And the Father himself, ^^-hich hath sent 
me, " hath borne witness of me. Ye have nei- 
ther heard his voice at any time, ''nor seen his 
shape. 

38 And ye ha^^e not his ^vord abiding in you ; 
for whom he hath sent, him ye believe not. 

39 ^ 5^ Search the Scriptures ; for in them ye 
think 5' e have eternal life : ^ and thej' are they 
which testify of me. 

40 And ye will not come to me, that ye might 
have life. 

41 ^ I receive not honour from men. 

42 But I know you, that ye have not the lo\'e 
of God in j'ou. 

43 I am come in my Father's name, and ye 
receive me not : if another shall come in his o\\n 
name, him ve will receive.

1 Christ feedeth Jive thousand men '■^ithfiise loaves 
and tvco fishes. 15 Thereupon the people would 
have made him king. 16 But voithdravSuig him- 
selfi he ivalketh on the sea to his disciples : 26 re- 
proveth thte people fioching after him., and all the 
ficshly hearers of his word: 32 declareth him- 
self to be the bread of life to believers. 66 Many 
disciples depart from him. 68 Peter confessetii 
him. 70 Judas is a devil. 

* A t TER these things, Jesus v.-ent OA-er the ^^f -^^ 
l\. sea of Gaiiiee, vvhich is the sea of Tii3erias. \i.\s^ 

2 And a great inultitude follo-wed him, be- 
cause they savv" his miracles, a\ hich he did on. 
them that were diseased. 

3 And Jesus Avent up into a mountain, aixl 
there he sat with his disciples. 

_ 4 And the passover, ''a feast of the Jews, v.as ^|;j"-if-f; 
nigh. 

5 *= When Jestis then lifted up his eyes, and \fl^- 
saw a great company come unto liim, he saitli M^ke. 3s. 
unto Philip, Whence shall we buy bread, that 
these may eat ? 

6 (And this he said to prove him : for he him- 
self kne^v what he would do.) 

7 Philip answered him, '^ Two hundred pennj^- ^^b. 
worth of bread is not sufficient for them, that "-21/22, 
every one of them may take a little. 

8 One of his disciples, Andrew, Simon Pe- 
ter's brother, saith unto him, 

9 There is a lad here, which hath fi\ e barley- 
loaves, and two small fishes : ^ but what are they \^^^ 
among so many ■ 

10 And Jesus said. Make the men sit doAvn. 
NoAv there was much grass in the place. So the 
men sat down, in number about five thousand. 

11 _And Jesus took the loaves ; and, when he 
had given thanks, he distributed to the disciples, 
and the disciples to them that ai ere set doA\"n ; 
and likewise of the fishes, as much as they 
would. 

12 ^ When they were filled, he said unto liis (^3^^ 
disciples, _ Gather up the fi-agments that remain, 
that nothing be lost. 

13 Therefore they gathered them together, 
and filled twelve baskets \\ ith the fragments of 
the five barley-loaves, A\hich remained over and 
above unto them that had eaten. 

14 Then those men, when they had seen the 
miracle that Jesus did, said, ^ This is of a truth fg^^/is.

16 '•And when even Mas mmi come, his dis- 
ciples went down unto the sea^, 

17 And entead into a ship, and went over 
the sea towards Capeniaum: and it ^\•us now 
dark, and Jesus was not come to them. 

18 And the sea arose, by reason of a great 
>vind that blew. 

19 So when they had rowed alx)ut five and 
twenty or thiity furlongs, they see Jesus ' walk- 
ing on the sta, and dra\\ ing nigh unto tlie ship : 
and they were afraid. 

20 But hcsiiith unto them, ^It is I; be not 
afraid. 

21 Then thcj- willingly received him into tlie 
ship ; and immediately tjie ship was at the land 
whither tluy went. 

22 II Tlie da}- foll»>u injr, w hen the people, 
which stoml on the othtr side, of the sea, saw that 
there ^^as none other b(xU tliere, save that one

23 (How Ixit tneif came other boats from Ti- 
berias, nigh ur.to the i>lace w here they did eat 
bread, after tliat the Lord had ^\\c\\ thanks ;) 

24 When the peoj)le, therefore, saw that Je- 
sus was not there, neither his disciples, they also 
t(x)k shipping, and came to CaiJcrnaum, ' seek- 
ing for Jesus. 

25 And, when the\- liad found him on the 
oilier side of the sea, thev said unto him, Rab- 
bi, when earnest thou hitlier ? 

26 Jesus ans\\ ered them, and said. Verily, ve- 
rily, I say unto you. Ye seek me, not because 
ye' saw the miracles, but because ye did eat of 
the lojives, and were filled. 

27 !| Labour not for the meat Avhich perisheth, 
but for that meat which ""endureth imto ever- 
lasting life, whieh the Son of man shall give unto 
you : " for him hath Gcxl the Father sealed. 

28 Then said they unto him. What shall 
>ve do, that we might T\ork the works of 
God ? 

29 Jcstis answ ered, and siiid unto theni, ° This 
is the w ork of God, that ye belie\ c on him w horn

30 •[ They said then fore unto him, What

31 pQur fatlKTs did tat manna in the desert; 
as it is written, "^ He g;n e them bread from hea-

Hue bread from luaven. 

33 I'or the bread of God is he wliieh cometh

34 Then s^id they unto him. Lord, 'e\er-

35 And Jesus said unto diem, ' I am die bread 
of life; 'he that comedi to me, shall never 
hunger; iuid he that bclieveth on me, sliall

36 But I said unto you, that ye also hine seen 
me, an<l belie\'e not. 

37 " All that the Father giveth me, shall come 
to me ; and him diat cometh to me, I w ill in no 
wise east out. 

38 For 1 came down horn heaven, not to do 
mine own w ill, " but the w ill of him tJiat sent me. 

39 And this is the Father's will which hath 
sent me, that oi' ;ill which lie hath gi\cn me, >' I

40 And this is the w ill of him that sent me, 
diat e\'ery one which seeth the Son, and Ix.'- 
lie\cdi on him, may ha\ e e\erlasting life : and I 
will raise him up at the last day. 

41 The Jews then murmured at him, be- 
cause he said, I am die bread w hich came down 
from hea\en. 

42 And they .siiid, * Is not this Jesus, the Son 
of Joseph, w h(jse father and mother we know ? 
hiA\- is it then that he saith, I came down from

43 Jesus therefore answered, and said unto 
them. Murmur not among youi-scKes. 

44 "No man can come to me, except the Fa-

45 '' It is written in the prophets. And they

46 Not that any man liadi seen the Father, 
' save he w hieh is of G(xl ; he hath seen the Father. 

47 Verily, verily, I say unto yon, ^ He that 
belie\eth on me, hath everlasting life. 

48 I am that bread of life. 

49 'Your fathers did eat manna ui the wil-

50 This is the bread which 'cometh down 
from hea^en, Uiat a man may eat thereoi", and 
not die. 

51 I am the living bread, *^\\liich came down 
from hea^ en : if any man eat of this bread, he 
shall live forever; and the bread tliat I will give 
is my flesh, which I will give for the life of the 
woild. 

52 The Jews, therefore, strove among them- 
selves, saying, ^ How can this man give us }}is 
flesh to eat .^^ 

S'i Then Jesus siiid imtothem, \'erily, verily, 
I say unto you, Kxecpt ye eat the flesh of the 
Son of man, and drink his blood, je have no 
life in vou. 

54 Whoso eateth my flesh, and drinketh my

he taught in Capernaum. 

60 i[ Many, therefore, of his disciples, when 
they had heard this, said, ' This is an hard say-

this offend you ?

ascend up where he was before ? 

63 ' It is the Spirit that quickeneth : the flesh 
profiteth nothing : the words that I speak unto

to whom shall wc go ? ° thou hast the ^^ords of 
eteiTial life. 

69 p And we believe, and are sure, that thou 
ait that Clirist, the Son of the living God. 

70 Jesus answered them, *i Have not I chosen

cause the Jews sought to kill him. 

2 *' Now the Jews' feast of tabernacles was 
at hand. 

3 ''His brethren, therefore, said unto him, 
Depart hence, and go into Judea, that thy dis- 
ciples also may see tlie works that thou doest. 

4 For there is no man that doeth any thing in se-

if thou do these things,^ shew thyself to the world.

hateth, because I testify of it, that the works 
thereof are evil.

went he also up unto the feast, not openly, but 
as it were in secret. 

11 If Then the Jews e sought him at the feast, 
and said, Where is he ? 

12 And there was much murmuring among 
the people, concerning him: ''for some said, He 
is a good man; others said. Nay; but he de- 
ceiveth the people. 

13 Howbeit, no man spake openly of him, for 
fear of the Jews. 

14 T[Now, about the midst of the feast, Jesus 
w^ent up into the temple, and taught.

5 '' Now Moses in the law commanded us, that ^^^ 
such should be sU)iietl : but what sayest thou ? m.w! 

6 This they s;iid ten\pting him, d»at diey 
might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped 
downi, and with his finger wrote on the ground, 
as though he heard then: not. 

7 So when they cominued asking him, he 
lifted lip himself, and said unto them, He that 
is widiont sin among you, *^let him fii^st cast acPniM?. 
stone at her. Ltk!^!' 

8 And again he stooped down, and wrote ©n ^' *•'*'•

9 And they which heard it, being ^ convicted i*^"^ 
by their oivn conscience, went out one by one, 
lx.ginning at the eldest, even unto the last; and 
Jesus w as left iilone, and the woman staiiding in 
die midst. 

10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, 
saw none but the woman, he said unto 
Woman, where are those thine accusers? 
no man condemned thee ?

12 Tf Then spake Jesus again unto them, say-

rne shall not walk in darkness, but sii;ill have the 
light of life. 

13 The Pharisees, therefore, said unto him, 

^ Thou bcai'est record of thyself; thy record is f CM*- 
not true. 

14 Jesus answered, and said unto them, Thongh 
I bear record of myself, yet my record is true ; 
for I know whence I came, and w hither I go ; 

^ but ye cannot tell whence I come, iuid w hither ^cha^ 
I go. 

15 Ye judge after the flesh ; I judge no man. 

16 And yet if I judge, my judgment is true ; 
for I am not alone, but I and the Father that 
sent me. 

17 * It is also written in your law, that the tes- m,^"-*- 
timonv of two men is true. "•>»•

have known my Father also. 

20 These words spake "".lesus in the treasury, 
as he taught in the temple: mid no man laid 
hands on him ; for his hour \vas not \"et come. 

21 Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my 
way, and ve shall seek me, and shall die in your 
sins : whither I go, ye cannot C( ane. 

22 Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? 
because he saith. Whither I go, .ye cannot come. 

23 And he said unto them. Ye are from be-

25 Then said they unto him, Who ait thou ? 
And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same'^-cA. 1 
said unto you from the beginning. 

26 I ha\e many things to say and to judge of 
you : but he that \,^'cix me, is tiiie ; ^ and I speak 
to the world those things which I have heai'd of 
him. 

27 They understood not that he spake to 
them of the P'ather. 

28 Then said Jesus unto them, ' When ye 
have hfied up the Son of man, ^ then shall ye 

Tcnow that I am he, and tliat I do nothing of mj-- 
self ; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak 
these things. 

. 29 Ajid he that sent me is with me : the Fa- 
ther hath not left me alone ; ibr I do always those 
things that please him. 

30 As he spake these words, many believed 
on him. 

31 "[rThen said Jesus to those Jews which 
believed on him, If ye continue in my word, 
then iue ye my disciples indeed; 

32 And ye shall know tlie truth, 'and the 
truth sliall make you free. 

33 H They answered him, ^ We be Abra- 
ham's seed, and v/ere never in bondage to any 
man : how sayest thou. Ye shall be made free ,'' 

34 Jesus ansv^'ered them, Verily, verily, I say 
unto you, " Whosoever committetlx sin is the 

. servant of sin. 

35 And the servant abideth not in the house 
for ever : but the Son abideth ever. 

36 " If the Son, therefore, shall make you 
free, ye shall be free indeed. 

37 I know that ye are Abraham's seed : but 
ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no 
place in you. 

38 I speak that ^^■hich I have seen with my 
Father; and ye do. that v/hich ye have seen with 
your father. 

39 They answered, and said unto him, "> Abra- 
ham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye 
were Abraham's children, ye would do the 
works of Abraham. 

40 But now ye seek to kill me, a man that 
hath told you the ti'uth, which I have heard of 
God: this did not Abraham. 

41 Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said 
they to him,^ W^e be not born of fornication ; we 

. ha\^e ^ one Father, even God. 

42 Jesus said unto them, If God were your 
Father, ye w(Duld love m.e : for I proceeded 
forth, and came from God; neitlier came I of 
m.yself, but he sent me. 

43 Why do ye not understand my speech?

44 ''Ye are ofijour father the devil, and the

48 1[ Then ans^vered the Jews, and said unto 
him. Say we not well, that thou art a Samaritan .

50 And I seek not mine own glory : there is

53 Art thou greater than our father Abraliam,

35 If he called them gods, unto whom the

Lord, behold, he whom tliou lovest, is sick. 

4 When Jesus heard that, he said. This sick- 
ness is not unto death, '^ but for the glorj^ of God, 
that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. 

5 Now Jesus loved Mai-tha, and her sister,

6 When he had heard, therefore, that he was 
sick, he abode two days still in die ^ same place

40 Jesus saith unto her, " Said I not unto thee, uv»ri-4

4an. 20 Greeks desire to see Jesus: 23 hefore- 
tellcth I lis death, 37 The Jews are generally 
blinded: 42 ijet many chief riders belie've, but do 
not confess him : 44 therefore Jesus calleth ear- 
nestly for confession of faith. 

THEN Jesus, six dajs before the passover, 
came to "Bethany, where Lazarus \\i\%, 
\\ liich had been dead, whom he raised fi'om the 
dead. 

2 There tliey raade him a ^ supper, and Mar- 
tha served : but Lazarus \\ as one of them that 
sat at the table with him. 

' 3 Then took '^ Mary a pound of ointment of 
spikenatd, veiy costly, and anointed the feet 
of Jesus, and wiped his feet \vith her hair: 
and the house was filled with the odour of the 
ointment. 

4 Then saith one of his disciples, Judas Isca- 
riot, Simon's so/j, which should betray him, 

5 Why v/as not this ointment ^ sold for three 
hundred pence, and given to the poor ? 

6 This he said, not that he cared for the poor ; 
but because he was a thief, and ^ had the bag, 
and bare what ^vas put therein. 

7 Then said Jesus, Let her alone : against the 
day of my burj'ing hath she kept this. 

^8 For ^the poor always ye ha\'e ^vith you ; but 
me ye have not ahvays. ^^ 

9 Tl Much people of the Jews, therefore, kneSB^ 
that he wzs, there ; and they came, not for Jesus^ 
sake only, but that they might see Lazarus 
also, s whom he had raised fi-om the dead. 

10 But the chief priests consulted that they 
might put ^ Lazarus also to death ; 

11 Because, tliat by reason of him., many of 
the Jews went away, and believed on Jesus. 

12 \ ' On the next day, much people that 
were come to the feast, when they heaixl that 
Jesus was coming to Jerusalem, 

13 Took branches of palm-trees, and ^^ ent 
forth to meet him, and cried, Hosanna ; ''Blessed 
is the King of Israel, that cometh in the name of

16 These thuigs understood not his disciples 
at the first : but Avhen Jesus " was glorified, " then 
remembered they, that these things were ^\Titten 
of him, and that they had done these things lui- 
to Iiim. 

17 The people, therefore, that was with him 
when he called Lazarus out of his grave, and 
raised him from the dead, bare record. 

18 For this cause the "people also met him, 
for that they heai-d that he had done this miracle. 

19 The Pharisees, therefore, said among them- 
selves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing ? be- 
hold, Pthe woild is gone after him. 

20 ^[ And th.ere v.ere certain ^ Greeks among 
them,^ •■ that came up to worship at the feast :

was of Bethsaida, of Galilee, and desired him, 
saying, Sir, we would see Jesus.

Xii. The blindness of the Je-ivs. 

22 Philip cometh, and telleth Andrew; and 
again, Andrew and Philip tell Jesus. 

23 ^ And Jesus answered them, saying, ' Tlie 
hour is come, that the Son of man sliould Ijic 
glorified. 

24 Verilj-, verily, I say unto you, Excipt a 
com of wheat fell into the ground, aixl (Lie, it 
abideth alone : but if it die, it bringe+h f'nti; 
much fruit. 

25 " He that loveth his Ufe, shall lose it ; aiici 
he that hateth his life in this world, shall keep it 
unto life eternal. 

26 If any man serve me, let him follow me ; 
and x\A\Qve. I am, there shall also my servant 
he: if any m.an serv^e me, him will 'my Father 
honour. 

27 ''Novv is my soul troubled ; and \v'hat shall 
I say? Father, save me from this hour : but for 
this cause came I unto this hour. 

28 Father, glorify thj^ name. ''Then came 
there a voice from heaven, sayings I liave botli 
glorified it, and Mill glorify it again. 

29 The people, therefore, that stood by, and 
heard it, said, that it thundered : others said, An 
angel spake to him. 

30 Jesus answered and said, * This voice came 
not, because of me, but for your sakes. 

3 1 Now is the judgment of this world : " now 
ihall the prince of this world be cast out. 

32 And I, if I be lifted up from, the earth, will 
draw all men unto me. 

33 (This he said, signifying what death he 
should die.) 

34 The people ansAvered him, We have heard 
out of the law, ''that Christ abideth for ever; 
and how say est thou. The Son of man must be 
lilted up ? Who is this Son of man ? 

35 Then Jesus said unto them. Yet a little 
Mhile is the light with you : walk vvhile ye have 
the light, lest darkness come upon you : for he 
that walketh in diU'kness, knovveth not whither 
he goeth. 

36 V/hile ye have light, believe in the light, 
that ye may be *" the children of light. These 
things spake Jesus, and departed, and '^did hide 
himseli'from them. 

37 li But though he liad done so many 
miracles before them, yet they believed not on 
him; 

38 That die saying of Esaias the prophet 
might be fulfilled, which he spake, ^ Lord, who 
hath believed our report .'' and to whom hath the 
arm of the Lord been revealed ? 

39 Therefore they could not believe, because 
that Esaias said again, 

40 *^He hath blinded their eyes, and hardened 
their heart ; that they should not see with t/ieir 
eyes, nor imderstand \\'ith their heart, and be 
conveited, and I should heal them. 

41 Tl'cse things said Esaias, ^when he saw 
his glory, and spake of him. 

42 TI Nevertheless, among the chief rulers also 
many believed on him; ""but because of the 
Pharisees, they did not confess him, lest they 
should be put out of the synagogue;

A little while, and ye shall not see me; and 
again a little while, and ye shall see me : and, 
Because I go to the Father .' ^ 

18 They said, therefore, What is this that he 
saith, A fittle while i" we cannot tell what he 
saith. 

19 Now Jesus kne^- that they were de^rous 
to ask him, and said unto them, Do j'e enquire 
among yourselves of that I said, A little while, 
and ye shall not see me ; and again a little while, 
and ye shall see me ? 

20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye 
shall weep and lament, but the world shall re- 
joice: and ye shall be soirowflil, but your sor- 
row shall be turned into joy. 

21 A W'Oman \^'hen " she is m travail, hath 
sorrow^ because her hour is come : but as soon 
as she is delivered of tlie child, she remernbereth 
no more the anguish, for joy that a man is bom

22 And ye now, therefore, "ha^^e soitow: but 

I -will see you again, and yoiu-heait shall rejoice, 
and your joy no man taketh from you. 

23 And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. 
Verily, verily, I say unto you, ? Whatsoever ye 
shall ask the Father in my name, he %\ ill give it 
you. 

24 Hitherto ha^'e j'e asked nothing in my 
name : ask, and ye shall recei^■e, that your joy 
may be full. 

25 These tilings ha\"e I spoken unto j'ou in 

II proverbs : but the time cometh, vrhen I shall 
no more speak unto you in || pro%'erbs, but I 
shall shew you plainly of the Father. 

26 At that day ye shall ask '^ in my name ; 
and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Fa- 
ther for you : 

27 For the Father himself "" loveth you, be- 
cause ye have lo^-ed me, and ha^e believed that 

I came out from God. 

28 I came forth from the Father, and am come 
into die world ; again, I leaA^e the world, and go

29 *1I His disciples said unto him, Lo, now

30 Now are ^ve sure tiiat ^ thou kno'^^"est all

32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now

of thyself, or did others tell it thee of me ; 

35 Pilate answered, Am I a Jew .' "Thine o\\-n 
nation, and the chief priests have delivered thee 
unto me. What hast thou done ? 

36 * Jesus answered, ^ My kingdom is not of 
this Avorld. If my kingdom Mere of this world, 

44.«5-7.M. then would my servants fight, that I should not 
be delivered to the Jews ; but now is my king- 
dom not from hence. 

37 Pilate, therefore, said unto him. Art thou 
a king then ? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I 
am a king. To this end was I bom, and for this 
cause came I into the world, that I should bear 
witness unto the truth. *= E\ ery one that is of the 
truth, heareth my voice. 

38 Pilate saith unto him, W^hat is truth ? And 
when he had said this, he went out again unto 
the Jews, and saith unto them, I find in him no 
fault at all. 

39 "^But ye ha\e a custom, tliat I should re- 
lease unto you one at the passo\'er : Avill ye, 
therefore, that I reletise unto you the King of the

1 Christ is scourged, cro\i'jied vjith thorns, and

1 1 Jesus answered, « Thou couldest ha^e no 
power at all against me, except it were given 
thee fi-om abo\e : therefore he that delivered me 
unto thee, hath the greater sin. 

12 And fi-om thenceforth Pilate sought to re- 
lease him : but the Jews cried out, sajdng. If thou 
let this man go, thou art not Cesai-'s fiiend: 

^ whosoever maketh himself a king, speaketh hLute 
against Cesai*. acei?.-. 

13 Wlien Pilate, therefore, heai'd that saying, 
he brought Jesus forth, and sat down m the judg- 
ment-seat, in a place that is called the Pa\-ement, 
but in the Hebrew, Gabbatha. 

14 And it was the ^preparation of the pass- iMattiu 
over, and about the sixth hour : and he saith unto "■^^' 
the Je^As, Behold your King ! 

15 But they cried out. Away with him, away 
with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them. 
Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests an- 
SAvered, ^ We ha^e no king but Cesai\ kcen. 

16 * Then delivered he him, therefore, t^nto j^j^!;j^ 
them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and 27. aL 
led him away. 

17 And he, bearing his cross, " went forth in- mNmnb. 
to a place, called the place of a skull, which is Hebnu.is, 
called in the HebreA\", Golgotha; 

18 'SMiere tiiey crucified him, and two others 
\A ith him, on either side one, and Jesus in the 
midst. 

19 ^ And Pilate A\TOte a title, and put it 
on the cross. And the writing was, " JESUS 
OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE 
JEWS. 

20 Tliis title then read many of the Jews ; for 
the place where Jesus ^\'as crucified was nigh to 
the city : and it was written ih Hebrew, and 
Greek, (^W Latin. 

21 Then said the chief priests of the Jews to 
Pilate, Write not, The King of the Jews ; but 
tliat he said, I am King of the Jews. 

22 Pilate answered, What I have -written, I 
haA'e written. 

23 If ° Then the soldiers, when they had cru- o Matth. 
cified Jesus, took his garments and made four*^'^^- 
paits, to e^erj' soldier a pait, and also his coat ; 
now the coat was without seam, j| woven from io», 
the top thj-oughout. '^''^^'*' 

24 They said, therefore, among themsehes. 
Let us not rend it, but cast lots for it, whose it 
shall be : that the scripture might be fulfilled, 
which saith, p They parted my raiment among pPs. 32. is. 
them, and for my vestnre thej' did cast lots. 
These tilings, therefore, the soldiers did.

unto his mother, = Woman, behold thy son! 

27 Then saith he to the disciple, Behold thy 
mother! And from that hour tliat disciple took 
her unto his own home.

known of them by the great draught of fishes.

raandeth Peter to feed his lambs and sheep ; 18 
foretelleth hi^n of his death ; 22 rebiiketh his 
curiosity touching John. 25 The conclusion. 

AFTER these tilings, * Jesus shewed himself 
again to the disciples, at tlie sea of Tiberias ; 
and on this wise she^^'ed he himself. 

2 There v.-ere together Simon Peter, and 
Thomas called Didj-mus, and ''Nathanael of 
Cana in Galilee, and" the "sons of Zebedee, and 
tvvo other of his disciples. 

3 Simon Peter saith unto them, I go a fishing. 
They say unto him, "\^'e also go ^vith tliee. They 
^^■ent forth, and entered into a ship immediately ; 
and that night they caught notliing. 

4 But, when tlie morning Avas now come, 
Jesus stood on the shore : ^ but tlie disciples 
knew not that it was Jesus. 

5 Then Jesus saitli unto them. |[ Children, 
haA'c ye an\' meat ? Thej" ans\\'ered him, No. 

_ 6 And he said unto them, ^ Cast the net on tlie 
right side of tlie ship, and ye shall find. They 
cast therefore, and wow they Avere not able to 
draw it for the multitude of fishes. 

7' Therefore that disciple * whom Jesus loAed, 
saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Noaa', when Si- 
mon Peter heard that it -was the Lord, he giit his 
iisher's coat imto him. (for he -was naked,) and 
did cast himself into the sea. 

8 And the other disciples came in a little 
j.hip, (for they vrere not far from land, but as it 
were tvro hundred cubits,) dragging tlie net with 
fishes.

they saw^ a fire of coals tliere, and fish laid tliere-

■which ye haAC now caught. 

11 Simon Peter A vent up, and drew the net to 
land fall of great fishes, an hundi-ed ar.d M\.y

And none of the disciples durst ask him, ^^"'ho

13 Jesus then cometh, and taketli bread, ar,d 
giveth them, and fish likewise. 

14 This is now '^the tliird time, tliat Jesus t^chap. 20, 
shewed himself to his disciples, after diat he was ^'' 
risen from die dead. 

15 T[ So, when they had dined, Jesus saith to 
Simon Peter, Simon, son of Jonas, 'iovest thou 'P'^i'^-^ 
me more than these .' He saith unto him. Yea, 
Lord ; thou knowest that 1 lo\e thee. He saith 
unto him. Feed my lambs.

17 He saith unto him tlie third time, Simon, iPet.V.i

because he said unto him the tliird time, Lovest 
thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, 'diouichap. 
kno-\'»'est all things ; tliou knoA^est that I love tliee. ^^' 
Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

19 This spake he, signifying by " what death \^^^^- 
he should glorify God. And, a\ hen he had spok-

20 Then Peter, turning about, seeili the dis-

Avhat shall this man do ? 

22 Jesus saith unto him, p If I \n\\ that he pMatiti.

23 Tlien Avent this saying abroad among the

16 INIen and brethren, this scripture must 
needs have been fulfilled, 'which die Holypi"'*'' 
Ghost, by die moutli of Da\ id, spake before

19 And it was known unto all die dwellers at 
Jemsalem; insomuch as that field is called in 
their proper tongue, Aceldamii, that is to siiy. 
The field of blood. 

20 For it is written in die book of Psalms, 

^ Let his habitation be desolate, luid let no man rfc.«o.w.

CHAP. III. 

1 Peter preacheth to the people that came to see a 
lame 7/ian restored to his feet ^ 12 ami prof esseth 
the curenot to have been ivroiight by his or J Phil's 
o-ivn power, or holiness, but by God, atid his Son 
'Jesus, and through faith in his name : 13 "ivitii- 
al reprehending them for crucifying fesus: 17 
which because they did through ignorance, and 
that thereby were fulfilled God^s determinate 
counsel, and the scriptures, 19 he exhorteth them 
by repentance and faith to seek remission of their 
sins, and salvation in the same Jesus. 

"^fOW Peter iuid John \\ent up together into 

-IN ' the temple, '' at the hour of pray.er, being 

the ninth hour. 

2 And "a certain man, lame from his mother's 
womb, was carried, w hom they laid daily at the 
gate of the temple, w hich is called Beautiful, to 
** ask alms of them that entered into the temjile ; 

3 Who, seeing Peter iind John.about to go in- 
to the tem|>!e, asiied an ahns. 

4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him, 
with John, siiitl. Look on us. 

5 And he i^ne heed unto them, expecting to 
receive something ofthem. 

6 Then Peter siiid, '^ Silver and gold have I 
none ; but such as I have, gi\ e I tliee ; ^ In the 
name of Jesus Cliinst of Nazareth, rise up and 
walk. 

7 And he tcok him by the right haiKl, and 
lifted him up : and immediately his Icet and 
ancle-bones received strength. 

8 And he, ^ leaping up, ^tood, and w alked, and 
entered \\ ith them into the temple, walking, and 
leaping, and praising God. 

9 And all the people saw *" him walking, iuid 
praising G(jd. _ f 

10 And tluy knew that it was he which sat for 
.ilms, at the Beautiful gate of the temple ; and 
they were filled with wonder and amazement, at 
that which had happened unto him. 

11 And, as the lame man which was healed, 
iicld Peter and John, all the people r^i togedicr 



vVCTS. Peters sermon to the people, 

unto them, in the porch tliat is called ' Solo- 
mon's, greatly >\ondering. 

12 ^ And when Peter saw it, he answered un- 
to the people. Ye men of Isiiiel, why mar\el ye 
at this .' or why look ye so earnestly on us, "as 
though by our o\\n power or holiness, we had 
made this man to walkf 

13 "^ The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and 
of Jacob, the God of our fadiers, hath glorified 
his Son Jesus ; \\hom ye delivered up, and deni- 
ed him iri the presence of Pilate, \\ hen he w'as de- 
termined to let him go. 

14 ' But ye denied the Holy One, and die 
Just, and desired a murderer to be gnmted unto 
you : 

15 And killed the || Prince of life, whom God 
iiath raised from the deitd, whereof ^we are wit- 
nesses. 

16 And " his name, tlirough faith in his name, 
hath made this man strong, ^\hom ye see and 
know ; j'ea, the faith w hich is by him, hath giAcn 
him this perfect soundness in tlie presence of 
you all. 

17 And no^\', brethren, I wot that through ig- 
norance ve did it, as did also yoin- rulers. 

18 " But those things, which God before had 
she^yed by tlie mouth of all his prophets, that 
Christ should sufter, he hath so fulfilled. 

19 If ° R -pent ye, therefore, and be eon^'erted, 
that your sins maj' be blotted out, when the times 
of refi-eshing shall come from die presence of the 
Lord ; 

20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which be- 
fore A\as preached unto you : 

21 Whom the hea^■en must receive until die 
times of '' restitution of all things, which God 
hath spoken bj- die mouth of all his holy pro- 
phets since the world liegiin. 

22 For Moses truly said unto die Fathers, ^ A 
Prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto 
you of your biethren, like unto me ; "■ him shall 
ye hear in all tilings w hatsoe^ er he shall say unto 
5'ou. 

23 And it shall come to pass, that e\eiy soul 
whicli w ill not hear that Prophet, shall be de- 
stroyed iiom among die people. 

24 Yea, and all theprojihets from Samuel, ar.d 
those that follow after, as marA" as ha\e spoken, 
ha\e<4 ike wise lbret(/id of these days. 

25 Ye are the children of the i)i()phets, and of 
' the covenant w hich G(k1 made w ith oui" fathers, 
saying unto Abraham, ' And in diy seed shall all 
die kindreds of the earth be bkssed. 

26 Unto you first, God lia\ ing lai.sed up h.i.-, 
Son Jesus, sent him to bless you iji " turning

23 Whereupon 
the church fieeth to prayer .-31 and God, by 
jncuing the place rohere they v^ere assembled, 
testijieth that he heard their prayer, confirming 
the church with the gift of the Holy Ghost, and 
with mutual lome and charity. 

AND, as they spake unto the people, the 
priests, and the i| * captain of the temple, and 
ach^f"' "^^ Sadducees, came upon them, 
^•24. ■ 2 Being grieved that they taught the people, 
and preached, tluough Jesus, the "^ resurrection 
from the dead. 

3 And they laid hands on them, and put them 
in hold unto the next day : for it was now even- 
tide. 

4 Ho%vbeit, many of them Avhich heard the 
word, believed; and the number of the men was 
about five thousand. 

5 ^ And it came to pass on the morrow, that 
their rulers, and elders, and scribes, 

6 And Amias the high priest, and Caiaphas, 
and John, and Alexander, and as many as were 
of the kindred of the high priest, " were gathered 
together at Jerusalem. 

7 And when they had set them in the midst, 
they asked, ''By what pov/er, or by what name, 
have ve done this ? 

8 Then Peter, ^filled Avith the Holy Ghost, 
said unto them. Ye rulers of the people, and el- 
ders of Israel, 

9 If we this day be examined of the good deed 
done to the impotent man, by ^^ hat means he is 
made whole ; 

10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the 
people of Israel, ^ that by the nnme of Jesus 
Christ of Nazareth, ^^'hom ye crucified, whom 
God raised from the dead, even by him doth this 
man stand here before you \vhole. 

? PS. 119. 22. 11 sThis is the stone which was set at nought

comer. 

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: 
^for there is none other name under heaven 
given among men, \^iiereby we must be saved. 

13 If Now, when they saw the boldness of Pe- 
ter and John, and perceived that they ' were un- 
learned and ignorant men, they marvelled ; and 
they took knowledge of them, that they had been 
with Jesus. 

14 And beholding the m^an ^ which was healed 
standing with them, they could say nothing 
against it. 

15 But when they had commanded them to 
go aside out of the council, they conferred among 
themselves, 

16 Saying, ' What shall we do to these men ? 
for that indeed a notable miracle hath been done 
by them, is manifest to all them that dwell in Je- 
rusalem ; "^ and we cannot deny it. 

17 But, that it spread no further among the 
people, let us straitly threaten them, " that they 
speak henceforth to no man in this name. 

18 And they called them, and commanded 
them not to speak at all, nor teach in the name 
of Jesus,

19 But Peter and John answered, and said domini 
unto them, ° Whether it be right in the sight of ^ ^\ 
God, to hearken unto you, more than unto God 
judge ye. 

20 For Ave cannot but speak the thmgs which 
we have seen and heard. 

21 So, when they had fiarther threatened them, 
they let them go, finding nothing how they might 
punish them, p because of the people : for all men p M^th. 
glorified God for that which was done : 

22 For the man was above forty years old on 
W'hom this miracle of healing was shewed. 

23 1J And, being let go, "^they went to their q c]iai.. 
o\vn company, and reported all that the chief *^''*" 
priests and elders had said unto them.. 

24 And, when they heard that, they lifted up 
their voice to God with one accord, aiid said, 
Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, 
and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is : 

25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David 
hast said, '' Why did the heathen rage, and the 
people imagine vain things ? 

26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the ru- 
lers were gathered together against tlie Lord, 
and against his Christ. 

27 For, of a truth, against thy ' holy child Je 
sus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod and 
Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people 
of Israel, were gathered together, 

28 For to do whatsoever *thy hand and thy 
counsel determined before to be done. ' 

29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings : 
and grant unto thy servants, that with all bold- 
ness they may speak thy word, 

30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; 

"and that signs and wonders may be done by the \^'^^\ 
name of thy holy child Jesus. 

31 T[ And, when they had prayed, the ''place jch^r- 
was shaken where they were assembled toge- 
ther ; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost ; 

and they spake the word of God with boldness. 

32 t And the multitude of them that believed, 
were of ^ one heart, and of one soul : ^ neither ych?.p.^} 
said auy of them, that aught of the things which \^^^^- 
he possessed, was his own; but they had all 
tilings common. 

33 And with great power gave the apostles 
witness of the resurrection of the Lord Jesus ; 
and great grace was upon them all. 

34 Neither was there any among them that 
lacked : for as many as were possessors of lands, 
or houses, sold them, and brought the prices of 
the things that were sold, 

2>S And laid them down at the apostles' feet: 
* and. distribution was made unto every man, ac- achap.e.i 
cording as he had need. 

36 And Joses, who by tlie apostles^ %\'as sur- 
named Barnabas, (which is, being interpieted, 
The son of consolation,) a Levite, and of tr.c 
country of Cypnis, 

37 Having land, sold it, and brought the m.o- 
nev, ^ and laid it at the apostles' feet.

BUT a ccrtuin miui, named Ananias, with

whether ye sold the land for so much? And she 
.said. Yea, for so much. 

9 Then Peter said unto her, How is it that ye 
ha\e agreed together *to tempt the Spirit of the 
Lord r Behold, the feet of tliem w hich ha\e bu-

all the senate of the children of Israel, and sent 
to the prison to ha\ e them Ijrought. 

22 But when the officers came, and found 
them not in the prison, they returned, and told,

you, that ye s^hould not teacli in this name ? and,

37 After this man rose up Judas of Galilee, 
» in the days of the taxing, and drew away much 
people after him : he also perished ; and all, even 
as many as obeyed him, were dispersed. 

38 And now, I say unto you, Refrain from 
these men, and let them alone: *for if this 
counsel, or this work, be of men, it will come 
to nought : 

39 * But if it be of God, j-e cannot overthrow 
it : lest hiiply ye be found even to fight against 
God. 

40 And to him they agreed : and when they 
had called the apostles, and beaten them, they 
commanded that they should not speak in the 
name of Jesus, and let them go. 

41 If And they departed from the presence of 
the council, "= rejoicing that they were counted 
^vorthy to suffer shame for his name. 

42 And daily in the temple, and in eveiy 
house, they "^ceased not to teach and preach 
Jesus Christ. 

CHAP. VI. 
1 T/ie apostles, desirous to have the poor regarded 

for their bodily sustenance, as also careful them- 
selves to dispense the xvordofGcd, the food of the 
soul, 3 appoint the office of ckaconship to seven 
chosen men: 5 of whom, Stephen, a manfidl of 

faith, and of the Holy Ghost, is one: 12 vjho is 
taken of those whom he confomuled in disput- 
ing, 13 and after falsely accused of blasphemy 
against the law and the temple. 

AND in those days, when *the number of the 
disciples mqs, multiplied, there aiose a mur- 
muring of the ^ Grecians against the Hebrews, 
because their widows were neglected in the daily 
ministration. 

2 Then the twehe called the multitude of the 
disciples imto them, and siucl, "^It is not reason 
that we should leave the word of God, aiid serve 
tabl'es. 

3 Wherefore, brethren, '^ look ye out among 
you seven men of honest report, full of the Holy 
Gliost and wisdom , a\ hom we may appoint over 
this business. 

4 But we '^will give ourselves continually to 
prayer, and to the ministry of the ^vord. 

5 ^ And the saying pleased the whole multi- 
tude; and they chose ^Stephen, a man full of 
fai^h and of the Holy Ghost, and Philip, and 
Prochorus, and Nicanor, and Timon, and Par- 
menas, and ^Nicolas, a proselyte of Antioch; 

6 Whom they set before the apostles, and 
when they had prayed, ^ they laid their hands on 
them. 

7 ^ And the vrord of God increased; and the 
number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem 
greatly ; and a great company of '■ the priests Vv'ere 
obedient to the faith. 

8 11 And Stephen-, full of faith and poAver, did 
great wonders and miracles among the people. 

9 Then there arose certain of the synagogue, 
which is called t/ie synagogue of the Liber- 
tines, and Cyrenians, and Alexandrians, and of 
them of CJlicia, and of Asia, disputing with Ste- 
phen- 



10 And they were not able to ^^ resist tlie wis- domini 
dom and the spirit by which he spake. ,^ ^^- 

11 Then they 'suborned men, which said, ^"^^^6 
We have heard him speak blasphemous words 21. is. 
against Moses, and against God. 21. m^' 

12 And they stirred up the people, a.-d the ^^«|;; 2«- 
elders, and the scribes, and came upon Aim, and 
caught him, and brought him to the council, 

13 And set up false witnesses, which said, 
This man ceaseth not to speak blasphemous 
words "* against this holy place, and tlie law : mchap. 

14 For we have heard him. say, That this ""'■ 
Jesus of Nazareth shall "destroy this place, and n nan, 
shall change the || customs which Moses deli^er- ''q;^ 
ed us. 

15 And all that sat in the coimcil, looking sted- 
fastly on him, saw his face as it had been the face 
of an angel. 

CHAP. VII. 
1 Stephen, permitted to answer to the accusation of 
blasphemy, 2 shexveth that Abraham %wr ship- 
ped God rightly, and how God chose the fathers , 
20 before Moses was born, and before the taber- 
nacle and temple were built: 37 that Moses him- 
self witnessed of Christ : 44 ajidthat all outward 
cereynonies %vere ordained according to th^ hea- 
venly pattern to last but for a time: 51 repre- 
hending their rebellion, and murdering of Christ, 
the Just One, whom the prophets foretold shoidd 
come into the world: 54 ivhereupon they stone 
him to death: 59 he commendeth his soul to 
Jesus, and hutnbly pray eth for them. 

THEN said die high priest, Are these things 
so? 

2 And he said, *Men, brethren, and fathers, aciiap. 
hearken ; The God of gior>' appeared unto our ^^' ' 
father Abraham, M'hen he was in Mesopotamia 
before he dwelt in Chairan, 

3 And said unto him, *'Get thee out of thy tcen, 
counU-y, and from thy kindred, and come into ^^' ^' 
the land Avhich I shall shew thee. 

4 'Then came he out of the land of tlie Chal- ■^cen- 
deans, and d\\elt in Charran; and from thence, 4^5*^ 
when his father was dead, he remo\ed him into 
this land, Vvherein ye now dwell. 

5 And he gave him none inheritance in it, 
no, not so much as to set his foot on ; j'et he pro- 
mised that he would give it to him for a posses- 
sion, and to his seed after him, when as yet he 
had no child. 

6 And God spake on this wise, "^that his seed \^i^- 
should sojouni in a strange land ; and that tliey ' ''■: 
should bring them into bondage, and entreat them 

evil four hundred years. i^,. 

7 And the _ nation to whom they shall be in 
bondage, ^will I judge, said God: and after =gc>i. 
that shall they corne forth, and serve m.e in this """' 
place. 

8 *^_And he gave him the covenant of cir- 
cumcision: and so Abraham begat Isiiac, ^and 
circumcised him the eighth day; ''and Isaac 
begat Jacob, and Jacob begat die twelve pa- 
triarchs. 

9 ' And the patriarchs, moved with en\y, sold icen 
Joseph into Egj-pt : but God was wth him,

lim out of all his afflic- 
tions, ^ and ga\ c him l'a\ our and wisdom in 
the sight of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and he 
made him governor over Kgjpt, and all his 
house. 

1 1 Now tiiere G\me a dearth ' o^'c^ all the hmd 
of Kgj'pt, and Chanaan, and great affliction ; and 
our fathers fxmd no sustcnaiice. 

12 ""But when Jacob heiuxl that there was 
com in Kgj'pt, he sent out our fadiers first. 

13 " And at the second thnc^ Joseph was made 
known to his brethren, and Joseph's kincbed was 
made knowii unto Pharaoh. 

14 Then sent Joseph, and called his father Ja- 
cob to JiJm, and all his kindred, tlu-eescore and 
fiiteen soul.->. 

15 ° So Jacob went down into Egjpt, ^and 
died, he, and our fathers, 

IG And were carried over into Sychem, and 
laid in the sepulchre that Abrakim bought for a 
sum of money of the sons of Emmor, the father 
of Sychem. 

17 But when the "^time of the promise drew 
nigh, which God had s\\oni to Abraliam, the 
peoi)'e grew, and multiplied in Egy^it, 

18 Till anotlier king arose, which knew not 
Joseph. 

ly The same dealt subtilly with our kincbed, 
and e\il -entreated our fathers, "■ so that they cast 
out their young children, to the end they might 
not live. 

20 ' In which time Moses was bom, and * was 
1! exceeding fair, antl nourished up in his father's 
house tlr.ve months : 

21 And when lie was cast out, " Pharaoh's 
daughter took him up, and nourished him for 
her own son. 

22 And Moses w as learned in all the w isdom 
(;f the Egyptians, and w as mighty in words mid 
in deeds. 

23 And, when he was full forty years old, it 
ranie into his heart to \\s\X. his brethren, the chil- 
dren of Israel. 

24 * And seeing one oft/iem sufier WTong, he 
defended him, and avenged him that was op- 
pressed, and smote the Eg> ptian : 

25 For he supposed his orcthren would have 
understcxxl how tliat God, by his hand, would 
deliver them : but they understood not. 

26 '' And the next d.i\" he shew cd himself unto 
them as they strove, and would have set them at 
oiie again, saying, Sirs, ye iue brethren; w-hy do 
ye wrong one to another.' 

27 But he that did his ncic;iil)our wrong, thnist 
him away, saying, * Who made thee a niler and 
a judge over us? 

28 Wilt tliou kill me, as thou didst the Egj-p- 
tian \-estercLiy : 

2y * Then fled Moses at this siiying, and was 
a stranger in the land of Madian, where he begat 
two sons. 

30 And w lu n forty years were expired, '' there 
;'l)pe.ired to him in the wilderness of mount 
Siiia, :ui aiii^el of the Lord, in a Hame of fire in a 
bush. 



TS. the history of Israel. 

_ 31 A\'hen Moses ^w it, he wondered at the 
sight ; and, as he djx-w near to Ix^hold it, tlie \oice 
of the Lord came ur.to him, 

32 Sayiu,^, " 1 am the God of tbA- fatliers, the 
God of AbrahDin, and the God of Is^iac, and the 
God of Jaco!;. Then Moses iremb'ed, and durst 
not Ixhold. 

33 Then s;.id the Lord to him, "^ Put ofi' thy 
shoes from thy feet: for the place w!^.e;e thoii 
stande.st is hoh' ground. 

34 I have seen, * I have seen the 'jfifli.Mon of 
my people, which is in Egv'pt, raid I have heard 
their groaning, and am come do\\n to deli^•er 
them. Anch now come, I will send thee into 
Egj-pt. 

35 T his Moses, whom they refused,, saying, 
^ \\\\o made thee a ruler and a judge .' the same 
did God send to be a ruler, and a deliverer, by 
the hand of the angel which appeared to him in 
the bush. 

36 He brought them out, after tliat he had 
* shewed wonders and signs, in the land of 
EgjiJt, and in the Red sea, '' and in the w ilder- 
ness fort\' years. 

37 H This is that Moses which .said unto the 
children of Israel, ' A Prophet shall the Lord 
yoiu' God raise up unto you of your brethren, 
11 like unto me : him shall ye hear. 

38 '' This is he that aws in the church in the 
wilderness, w ith the angel, ' a\ hich spake to him 
in die mount Sina, ;uid with our fathers ; who re- 
ceived the lively oracles to give unto us: 

39 To \\ honi our fathers would not oixy, but 
thmst ///';;; from tlieni, and in their he;u1s turned 
back iig-ain into l''gjpt, 

40 ■" Saying unto Aaron, Make us g(xls to go 
before us : for as for this Moses, a\ hich broug! it 
us out of the land of Egypt, A\e wot r.ot wliat is 
become of him. 

41 And they made a "calf in those days, and 
offered sacrilice unto the idol, luid rejoiced in the 
works of their own hands. 

42 Then God tiu-ned, and gave them up ° to 
worship the host of heaven ; as it is wi iltc n m the 
book of the prophets, ^O ye house of Israel, 
have ye offered to me slain beasts and siicrifices 
by the space o/" forty years in the wildenuss: 

43 Yea, ye took up the tabernacle oi' Moloch, 
and the star of \our god Remphan, figures which 
ye made, to worship diem : luid I \\ ill can y you 
aA\ay be\ond Babylon. 

44 Our fathers liiid the talxmacle of w itness 
in the wilderness, as he had ap])ointed, spc-aking 
unto Moses, ^ diat he should make it acc(;rding 
to the fashion that he had seen : 

45 \Vhich also our fathers that came after 
brought in w ith !l Jesus into the possession of 
the Gentiles, ^ whom Gcxl dra\ e out before the 
face of our fathers unto the d;ivs of l)a\ id ; 

46 \Vho found la\our lx?fore God, and de- 
sired to find a tabernacle for tlie God of Jacob.

\\-hich before time in the same cit\- ^ used sorcery, h chap. , 
and Ipev.itched the people of Samaria, giving out "■*' 
that 'himself was some great one: ^c^p. 

10 To whom diey all gave heed, from the least 
to the greatest, saying, This man is die gieat 
power of God. 

1 1 And to him they had regai'd, because that 

of long rime he had ^bewitched them with sor- ^ caus. l

12 But \A'hen they belie^-ed Philip, preachiing 

the things 'concerning the kingdom of God, and'Chap.1.3. 
the name of Jesus Clirist, diey were baptized, 
both men and women. 

13 Then ""Simon himself believed also ; andmjajnes 
\vlien he was baptized, he continued ^\"ith Philip, ^■"" ' 
and ^vondered, beholding die miracles and signs 
which vrere done. 

14 1[ Now when the apostles, Avhich were at

word of God, they sent unto them Peter and 
John ; 

15 \Mio, ^^-hen tiiey were come do^ni, prayed 

for them, "that they might receive the Hoh" Ghost, n chap, 

16 (For as yet he was "fallen upon 'none of octop.

17 Then laid they ^ their hands on them, andpchap.e.o,

20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money

h .'1 the charge ol all her tieasure, and had come 
to *JenisJiltm for to worship, 

28 Was reamiins', ; and, sitting in his chariot, 
re:id Esaias the prophet. 

29 Then the Spirit said unto Philip, Go neiu , 
and join thyself to this chariot. 

30 And Philip ran thidicr to him, and heard 
him read the prophet Ksiiias, and said, Under- 
stiindest tliou what thou readestr 

31 And he s:iid, '' How can I, except some 
m;tn should guide me? And he desired Philip 
that he would come up, and sit wiUi hini. 

32 Ti\e place of the scripture w hich he read 
w as this, • He was led as a shccj) to the slaughter ; 
and like a lamb dumb before his shearer, so open- 
ed he not liis mouth : 

33 In his humiliation his judgment was taken 
away ; and w ho shall declare his generation ? lor 
his life is taken from the eaiih. 

34 And the eunuch answered Philip, and snid, 
^ I i)ray thee, of wliom speuketh the prophet ihi.-> ? 
of himself, or of some other man ? 

35 ' Then Philip opened his mouth, and began 
at the same scripture, and preached unto him 
Jesus. 

36 And, as they went on tlic'ir way, tfiey came 
unto a cert;iin water; and the eunuch .s id. See, 
here is water; ''what doth hinder me to be biip- 
tizcd ? 

37 And Philip said, If thou belie\est with all 
thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and 
said, 'I belie\e tluit Jesus Cl\i"ist is the Son ol 
Go<l. 

38 And he commanded the chariot to stand 
still : and they went down Iwth into the water, 
l:)Oth Philip and the eunuch; and he baptized 
him. 

39 And, when they were come up out of the 
water, the Spirit of the Lord '^ caught away 
Philip, that the eunuch sa\v him no moi'c : and 
he went on his w ay rejoicing. 

40 But Phi'iip was foimd at Azotus ; and, jiasv-

24 ' But their laying await was knovn of Saul : 
and they watched the gates day and night. to kill 
him. 

25 Then the disciples took him by night, and 
let /lim do^^^l by tlie ^vall in a basket. 

26 % And ' AA'hen Saul was come to Jei\isa- 
lem, he assayed to join himself to the disciples : 
but they were all afraid of him, and believed not 
that he was a disciple. 

27 But Baniabas took him, and brought him 
to tlie apostles, and declaimed unto them how he 
had seen the Lord in the way, and that he had 
spoken to him, and how^ he had " preached boldlj 
at Damascus in the name of Jesus. 

28 And he was Avith them * coming in, and 
going out, at Jerusalem : 

29 And he spake boldly in the name of the 
Lord Jesus, and disputed against the ^ Grecians : 
^ but they went about to slay him : 

30 PFhich when the brethren knew, they 
bro\ight him down to Cesai ea, and sent him forth 
to Taisus. 

31 If * Then had the churches rest throughout 
all Judea, and Galilee, and Samaria, and were 
edified ; and, walking in the fear of the Lord, 
and in the comfort of the Holy Ghost, were mul- 
tiplied. 

32 IT And it came to pass, as * Peter passed 
throughout all quarters, he came do\An also to 
the saints which d^velt at Lydda. 

33 And there he found a certain man named 
Eneas, which had kept his bed eight years, and 
was si' k of the palsy. 

34 And Peter said unto him, Eneas, ^ Jesus 
Christ mal:eth thee A^hole : arise, and make thy 
bed. And he arose immediately. 

35 And all that dv.elt in Lydda and "^Saron 
saw him, and turned to the Lord. 

36 % Now there was at Joppa a certain disciple, 
named Tabitha, which, by interpretation, is call- 
ed Dorcas : this woman was ^ full of good works i 
and alms-deeds which she did. 

57 And it came to pass in those days, that she 
was sick, and died : AAhom, when they had wash- 
ed, they laid her in an upper chamber. 

38 And forasm-uch as Lydda was nigh to Jop- 
pa, and the disciples had heard that Peter was 
there, they sent unto him tAvo men, desiring hi}n 
that he would not || delay to come to them. 

39 Then Peter arose, and went \\\xh them. 
When he was come, they brought him into ^the 
upper chamber ; and all the wido\A's stood by him 
weeping, aiid shewing the coats and ga.^ments 
which Dorcas made, A\'hile she was M'ith them. 

40 But Peter put ^ them all forth, ^ and kneeled 
dq\in, and praj^d ; and, turning hi7n to the body, 
said, ' Tabitha, arise. And she opened her eyes : 
and, when she saw Peter, she sat up. 

41 And he gaxe her his hand, aiid lifted her 
up : and, Mhen he had called the saints and wi- 
doAA's, he presented her aliAC. 

42 And it was known throughout all Joppa ; 
^ and many believed in the Lord. 

43 Aiid it came to pass, that he tarried manj' 
days in Joppa, ' with one Simon a tanner. 



CHAP. X. 

1 Cornelius, a devout ttian, 5 being cojnmarided by 
an angel, sendethfor Peter .-11 who by a vision, 
15, 20 is taught not to despise the Gentiles. 34 
As he preacheth Christ to Cornelius and his co7n- 
pany, 44 the Huly Ghost falleth on tliem, 48 
aiul they are baptized. 

THERE was a certain man in * Cesarea, call- 
ed Cornelius, a centurion of the band called 
tlie Itiilian band, 

2^ J de\out man, and one tliat feai'ed God 
with all his house, \\-liich gave much alms to the 
people, and prayed to Gocl alwaj- : 

^ 3 He saw *= in a vision evidentlj-, about the 
ninth hour of the day, an angel of God coming 
in to him, and saying unto him, Cornelius. 

4 And, "when he looked on him, he was afraid, 
and said. What is it. Lord .'' And he said unto 
him. Thy prayers and thine alms are conxe up 
for a memorial before God. 

5 And now send men to Joppa, and call for one 
Simon, whose surname is Peter; 

6 He lodgeth with one ^ Simon a tanner, whose 
house is by the sea-side : * he shall tell thee what 
thou oughtest to do. 

7 And, when the angel which spake unto Cor- 
nelius was departed, he called two of his house- 
hold servants, and a devout soldier of them that 
waited on him continually : 

8 And, when he had declared all these things 
unto them, he sent them to Joppa. 

9 Ti On the moiTow, as they went on their 
journey, and drew nigh unto the city, *' Peter 
went up upon the house-top to pray, about the 
sixth hour. 

10 And he became ver>' hungry, and would 
haA'e eaten : but while they made ready, he fell 
mto a ti-ance, 

11 And saw » heaven opened, and a certain 
A-essel descending unto him, as it had been a 
gi-eat sheet knit at the four comers, and let dov.Ti 
to the earth ; 

12 Wherein were all manner of four-footed 
beasts of the earth, and wild beasts, and a-eeping 
things, and foA'.ls of the air. 

13 And theie cam.e a voice to him. Rise, Pe- 
ter; kill, and eat. 

14 But Peter said. Not so, Lord: ^ for I have 
ne\'er eaten any thing that is common or un- 
clean. 

15 And the Aoice spake unto him again the 
second time, 'What God hath cleansed, that call 
not thou common. 

16 This was done thrice: and tlie vessel was 
received up again into heaven. 

17 IT Now, -while Peter doubted in himself 
what this vision, which he had seen, should 
mean, behold, ihe men w-hich were sent from 
Cornelius had made enquiry for Simon's house, 
imd stood before the gate, 

18 And called, aixl a':ked Avhether Simon, 
which was surn^med Peter, were lodged there.

22 And they siiid, "" Cornelius the centurion,

23 Then called he them in, and lodged the7Ji. 
And on the monoA\ Peter \\ent awaj' with them ;

24 And the monow after, they entered into 
Ces^uea. And Cornelius waited "for tliem, and 
had cajled together his kinsmen and near Jiiends. 

25 f And, as Peter was coming in, Cornelius 
met '.lim, and fell down at his teet, and wor- 
shipped him. 

26 But Peter took him up, saying, "Stiuid up ; 
I mysetl also am a m ai. 

27 And as he talked A\ith him, he went in, 
and found m.my diat were come together. 

28 A id he siid unto them, Ye know how that 
Pit is an un! wful thing lor a man, thiit is a Jew, 
to keep comp.iny, or come unto one of imothcr

29 'I'herelbre came I inito you without gainsay- 
ing, as soon as I \\ as sent for : I ask, tlierefore, 
for what intent je have sent for me ? 

30 And Cornelius said. Four days ago, I was 
fasting until this hour; and at the ninth liour I 
prayed in my house, and, behold, "" a man stood 
before me in bright clothing, 

31 And said, Cornelius, ' thy prayer is heard, 
and tliine alms arc lud in remembrance in the 
sight of God. 

32 Send, therefore, to Joppa, and call hidier 
Simon, w hose surname is reter : he is lodged 
in the house o^ one * Simon a tanner, by the sea- 

who, when he cometh, sh;ill speak unto diee. 

33 Immediately, therelbre, I sent to diee; and 
thou luist well done tbit thou art come. Now, 
therefore, are we all here present before God, to 
lic;ir all things that aie conomanded thee of

34 t Then Peter opened his moudi, and said,

9 But the voice answered me again from hea- 
ven, What God hath cleansed, that call not thou 
common. 

10 5 And this was done three times : and all 
AA ere drawn up agian into heaAcn. 

11 And, behold, inimediateiy there were 
three men already come unto the house where 1 
■v\as, sent from Cesarea unto me. 

12 And ''the Spiiit bade me go with them, 
nothing doubting. Moreover, these six breihi-en 
accompanied me, and avc entered into the man's 
house. 

13 And he she^^ved us how he had seen 'an 
angel in his house, w^hich stood and SL-id unto 

, him. Send men_ to Joppa, and call for Simon, 
whose surname is Peter ; 

14 Who shall tell thee words, whereby thou 
and all thy house shall be saved. 

15 And, as I began to speak, the Holy Ghost 
kcha,.2.4. fell on them, ''as on us at the beginning. 

16 Then remembered I the word of the Lord, 
how diat he said, 'John indeed baptized v/ith 
water ; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy 
Ghost. 

17 Forasmuch then as God gave them the like 
gift as he did unto us, who believed on the Lord 
Jesus Christ ; what was I, " that I could with- 
stand God ? 

18 When they heard these things, tliey held 
their peace, and glorified God, saying, Then 
hath God also to the Gentiles granted repentance 
unto li%. 

19 «[[ ''Now they which were scattered abroad 
upon the persecution that arose about Stephen, 
travelled as far as Phenice, aixl Cyprus, and 
Antioch, preaching the word to none but unto 
the Jews only. 

20 And some pf them were men of Cyprus, 
and Cyrene, which, Avhen they wqxq. come to 
Antioch, spake unto the "Grecians, preaching 
the Lord Jesus. 

21 And Pthe hand of the Lord was with them ; 
and a great number believed, and turned unto 
the Lord. 

22 ^ Then tidings of these things came unto 
the ears of the church v.-hich was in Jerusalem ; 
and they sent forth i Barnabas, that he should go 
as far as Antioch : 

23 Who, A\'hen he came, and had seen the 
grace of God, v.as glad, and exhorted them all, 
that with purpose of lieart they would cleave un- 
to the Lord. 

24 For he was a good man, ''and full of the 
Holy Ghost, aiid of faith : and much people was 
added unto the Lord. •■ 

25 Then dejsiirted Barnabas to ' Tarsus, for to 
seek Saul : "' 

26 And, \vh.tn he had found him, he brought 
him unto Antioch. And it came to pass, that a 

a or,«n the wholc ycar they assembled themselves || with the 
church, and taught much people. And the dis- 
ciples Avere called Christians first in Antioch. 

27 H And in these days came ' prophets from 
Jerusalem unto Antioch.

Agabus, and signified by the Spirit, that there 
should be great dearth tiiroughout all the Avorld ; 
Avhich came to pass in the days of Claudius 
Cesar. 

29 Then the disciples, every man according to 
his ability, determined to "send relief unto the 
brethren which dwelt in Judea : 

30 V/hich also they did, and sent it to the 
elders ''bj' the hands of Barnabas and Saul. 

CHAP. XIL 

I King Herod persecutcth the Ch7'istia?is, 2 hiUeth 
James, 4 and ihiprisoneth Peter, ivhom an 
angel delivereth upon the prayers of the church. 
20 Li his pride, taking to himself the honour 
due to God, he is stricken by an angel, and 
dieth miserably. 24 After his death the word 
of God prospereth. 

NOW, about that time, Herod the king 
II stretched forth his hands to vex certain 
of the chm'ch ; 

2 And he killed James, ^the brother of John, 
Avith die sword. 

3 And, because he saw it pleased the Jevrs, 
he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then 
''were the days of unleavened bread.) 

4 And, when he had apprehended him, *=he 
put him in prison, and delivered him to four qua- 
ternions of soldiers to keep liim^ intending, after 
Easter, to bring him forth to the people. 

5 Peter, therefore, was kept in prison : but 

II prayer was made viduiout ceasing of the church u or, 
unto God for him. 

6 And when Herod -would have brought him 
forth, the same night Peter was sleeping betwee;. 
two soldiers, bound with tv/o chains : arid the 
keepers before the door kept the prison. 

7 And, behold,_ ^ the ange! of the Lord came 
upon him, and a light shined in the prison : and 
he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, 
saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off 
fi-om his hands. 

8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thj^self, 
and bind on thy sandals : and so he did. And he 
saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and 
follow rne. 

9 And he went out, and followed him; « and ^ ^s- 120. i 
wist not that it was true which was done by the 
angel ; ^but thought he saw a vision. 

10 When they wtrt past the first and the se- 
cond wai-d, they came unto the iron gate that 
leadeth unto the city, ^ AA^hich opened to then) 
of his OAvn accord : and they went out, ar.d 
passed on through one street ; and forthwifli the 
angel departed from him. 

11 And when Peter was come to himself, he 
said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath 

'' sent his angel, and hath ' delivered me out of ^ Dan.3.a« 
the hand of Herod, and /rom all the expectation 'J°''«-"- 
of die people of the JcAvs. 

12 And, when he had considered the thing, 
he came to the house of Mary the mother of 
John, '^Avhose surname was Mark; where many kchap, 
were gathered together praying. *'•"•

942 Herod'' s horrible death. 

14 And when she knew Peter's voice, she 
opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and 
told how Peter stoo<l before the gate. 

15 And they siiid unto her, 'I'Ikhi ait mad. 
But she consrantly affirmed thdt it was even so. 
Then said they, 'It is his angel. 

16 But Peter coniinued knocking. And when 
tliey h;id opened tJie door., and saw him, they 
were astonished. 

17 But he, "beckoning unto them with the 
hand tr) hold their peace, declared unto them 
how the Loid had brought him out of the prison. 
AikI he said, Cio, shew these things unto James, 
and to tlie brethren. And he departed, and went 
into ant >dier place. 

18 Now, as soon as it was day, there was no 
small stir among tlie soldiers, w hat Mas become 
of Peter. 

19 And when Herod had sought for him, and 
found him not, he examined the keepers, and 
commanded that they should be put to death. 
And he went down fiom Judea to " Cesarea, and 
there ab(,de. 

20 ^ And Herod || was highly displeased with 
them of Tyre and Sidon : but they came with 
one accord to him ; and, having made Blastus 
t the king's chamberlain their friend, desired 
peace : ° because their country was noinished by 
the king's country. 

21 And upon a set day, Herod, arrayed in 
royal apparel, sat upon his tlirone, and made an 
oration unto them. 

22 And the people gave a shout, saying, It is 
the voice of a god, and not of a man. 

23 And immecliately ■'the angel of the Lord 
smote him, because he ga\ e not God the glory : 
and he A\as eaten of worms, and ga\c up tJie

Ghost, departed unto Seleucia ; and from thence 
they sailed to ^ Cjprus. 

5 And when they were at Salamis, tliey 
preached the \vord of God in the sJ^lagogues-ol 
the Jew s : and they had also ' Jolm to their mi- 
nister. 

6 IT And Avhen they had gone tlii-ough the isle 
unto Paphos, they found ^a cert;un sorcerer, a 
false prophet, a Jew, ^\hose name was Bar- 
jesus : 

7 \\'hich was with the deputy of the countr>% 
Sergius Paulus, a prudent man ; w ho called for 
Barnabas and Saul, and desired to hear the word 
of God. 

8 But Elymas the sorcerer (for so is his name 
by interpretation) « Avithstood them, seeking to 
turn away the deputj- from the faith, 

9 Then SauL (who also is called Paxil,) filled 
w ith the Holy Ghost, set his eyes on him, 

10 And said, O full of ail suhtiltj-, and all 
mischief, ^thou child of the devil, thou enemy 
of all righteousness ! wilt thou not cease to per- 
vert the right ways of the Lord ? 

11 And now, behold, 'the himd of the Lord 
is upon thee, and thou shalt be blind, not seeing 
the sun for a season. And immediately there fell 
on him a mist and a darkness ; and he w ent about 
seekin.g some to lead him by the hand. 

12 Then the deputy, when he siuv what was 
done, lx^lie\ ed, being astonished at the doctrine 
of the Lord. 

13 TI Now, when Paul and his compan^ loosed 
from Paphos, they came to Perga in Pamphylia; 
'' aiid John, depiuting from them, returned to 
Jerusalem. 

14 But when they depiuted from Perga, they 
came to Antioch in Pisidia, and went into 
die sj'nagogue on tlie sabbath-daj', and sat 
downi. 

15 And after the 'reading of the law and the 
prophets, the rulers of the synagogue sent unto 
them, sa\ ing, 21' men a?ul l^rethren, if ye have 
any word of exhortation for the ixople, say on. 

16 Then Paul stood up, and, "beckoning 
^\ ith his hand, said. Men of Israel, and ye that 
feiu- God, give audience. 

1 7 The God of this people of Israel chose our 
fathers, and exalted the peoi^le, "when diey 
dwelt as strangers in the land of Eg\pt, °iuid 
w ith an high iu^m brought he them out of it. 

18 And about the time of forty years f suf- 
fered he their manners in the wilderness. 

19 And when he had destroyed sCAcn nations 
in the land of Chanaan, •• he divided dieir land to 
them by lot.

23 " Of this man's seed, hath God, accord- 
ing to /lis pfo}?2ise, raised unto Israel a Saviour, 
Je:.us ; 

24 "^ \Vhen John had first preached before his 
coming the baptism of repentance to ail the peo- 
ple oi Israel. 

25 And as John fulfilled his course, he said, 
"W'^hom think ye that I am ? >" I am not /le : but, 
behold, there cometh one after me, whose shoes 
of /lis feet I am not ^^■orthy to loose. 

26 Men <?«(/ brethren, cliildi-en of the stock of 
Abi-aliam, and whosoever among you fearetli 
God, to you is the word of this salvation sent. 

27 For they that dwell at Jei-usalem, and their 
rulers, because they knew him not, nor jet the 
voices of the prophets ^hich ai'e read every sab- 
bath-day, they have fulfilled t/iem in condemning 
/li??!. 

28 ^ And though they found no cause of death 
in /lim, yet desired they Pilate, that he should be 
s'ain. 

29 And when they had '' fi.ilfiHed all that was 
written of him, they took /liin do'iwi fi-om the 
tree, and laid him in a sepulchre. 

30 " But God raised him from the dead : 

31 And he was ^ seen many days of them, 
which came up v. ith him fiom Galilee to Jeim- 
salem, who are his witnesses unto the people. 

32 And we declare unto j'ou glad tidings, 
how ^^t the promise which was made unto die 
fathersf 

33 God hatli fulfilled the same unto us 
their chiidien, in that he hath i-aised up Jesus 
again ; as it is also \witten in the second psalm, 
^ Thou ait my Son ; this day have I begotten 
tliee. 

34 And as concerning that he raised him up 
fi'oni the dead, 7io\v no more to return to conaip- 
tion, he snid on this \\ise, ^ I will give you the 
sure t mercies of David. 

35 Wherefore he saith also in another psalm, 
e Thou shalt not sufier thine Holy One to see 
coniiption. 

36 For DaAid, |! after he had served his own 
generation, by the will of God, ^ fell on sieep, 
and was laid unto his fathers, and saw corrup- 
lion : 

37 But he, whom God raised again, saw no 
corrup'ion. 

38 Be it kno\vn unto you, therefore, men and 
:)rethren, that tlirough this man is preached mito 
you the forgiveness of sins : 

39 And by him all that believe are justified 
from all things, fi'om \\ hich ye could not be jus- 
tified by the law of Moses. 

40 Beware, thereiore, lest that come upon you, 
which is spoken of in the ' prophets ; 

41 Behold, ye despisers, and wonder, and 
perish : for I work a work in your days, a wor,. 
which ye shall in no wise believe, though a mai- 
declare it unto you. 

42 1i And when the Jews were gone out of tht 
synagogue, the Gentiles besought tliat these

words might be pi-eached to them f the next 
sabbath. 

43 Now, -when the congi^egation was broken 
up, many of the Jews and religious proselytes 
folloAved Paul and Barnabas ; avIio, speaking to 
them, persuaded them to continue in tlie grace 
of God. 

44 ^ And the next sabbath-day came almost 
the -whole city togetiier, -to heaj- the word of 
God. 

45 But when the Jevrs saw the multitudes, 
they were filled with en\y, ^ and spake against 
those things which were spoken by Paul, contra- 
dicting and blaspheming. 

46 Then Paul and Barnabas v»'axed bold, and 
said. It was necessary that the word of God 
sho^ild first have been spoken to you ; but seeing 
ye put it from you, and judge yourselves un- 
vrorthy of e\'erlasting life, lo, * we turn to the 
Gentiles : 

47 For so hath the Lord commanded us, say- 
ing, ° I have set thee to be a light of the Gentiles, 
that tliou shouldest be for salvation unto the ends 
of the earth. 

48 And when the Gentiles heard this, they 
were glad, and glorified the word of tlie Lord : 
" and as many as were ordained to eternal life, 
believed. 

49 And the wt)rd of the Lord w^s published 
throughout all the region. 

50 II But the JeA\^s stirred up tlie devout and 
honourable women, and the chief men of the 
city, and raised ° persecution against Paul and 
Barnabas, and expelled them out of dieir coasts. 

51 P But they shook off the dust of their feet 
against them, and came unto Iconium. 

52 And the disciples were filled "- \\ith joy, and 
with the Holy Ghost.

6 They were ware of it, and ' fled unto Lystni 
and Dtrbe, cities of Lycaonia, and unto the re- 
gion that hcth round about ; 

7 And there they preached the gospel. 

8 1j And there sat a ^ certain man at Lystra, 
impotent in his feet, being a cripple from his 
mother's womb, \\ ho ne\ er had \\ alked : 

9 Tlie same heajxl Paul speak ; w ho stedfiistly 
behokling him, and perceiving that he had « faiih 
to be healed, 

10 Said w ith a loud voice, Stand upright on 
thy feet. ^ And he leaped and wiilked. 

11 And when the neople saw Avhat Paul had 
done, thev lifted up their voices, saying, in the 
speech of L\caor.ia, The gods iirc: come down to 
us in the likeness of men. 

12 And they called Barnabas Jupiter, and 
Paul Mercinius, because he A\as the chief 
speaker. 

1 3 Then the priest of Jupiter, ^\ hich was be- 
fore their cit\-, brought oxen and garlands unto 
the gates, and would ha\e ' done siicritiee \\ idi 
the people. 

14 IVhich when the apostles, Barnabas and 
Paul, heard of., ^ they rent their clothes, mid 
ran in among the people, crjiiig out, 

15 And siiying, Sirs, why do je these things? 
We also are men of like passions w ith \ou, and 
preach unto you, that ye should turn fiom these 
\unities unto the li\ing God, ' which made hea- 
ven and eaitli, and tlie sea, and all diings diat are

from hea\en, and fiaiitiiil seasons, filling our 
hearts widi food and gladness. 

18 And widi these sayings scarce restrained

unto them.

1 Great dissension ariseth touching circumcision : 
6 The apostles consult about it, 22 and send their 
determination by letters to the c/nuches. 36 Paul 
and Barnabas thinking to visit the brethren to-

ye cannot be sa\ ed. i-ev. ij. 3. 

2 When, diereforc, Paul and Barnabas had-*^"-**- 
no small dissension and disputation a\ ith them, 

they cleteiTnined that ' Paul and Bamabas, and <:Cai.s.i. 
certain other of them, should go up to Jeru- 
salem unto the aposdes and elders about this 
question. 

3 And being brought on ^ their w\y l,>y the \f;^'^- 
church, they passed tliiough Plieiiice and Sa- icor;iB.«. 
mai-ia, '^ declai'ing die conversion of the Gen-»ch»p. 
tiles : and they caused great joy unto all the "' *'" 
brethren. 

4 And when they were come to Jerusalem, 
they were received of the church, anc^/' tlie 
aposdes and elders, and they declared drtlii 
that God had dejiie w ith them. 

5 \ But there rose up certain of the sect of the 
Phiu-isees which believed, siiy ing, ^ That it was ^JJ'j- '• 
needful to circumcise them, and to command i/a. a- 
them to keep the law of Moses. 

6 And the apostles and elders came together 
for to consider of this matter. 

7 And, when there had been much disputing, 
Peter rose ni>, and .si\id unto them, ^ Men «//r/gChap. 
brediren, ye know how, that a good while ago, }i:«.*^ 
God made choice among us, that the Gentiles by

Letters to the chiirclies. 

14 " Simeon hath declared how God at the first 
did visit the Gentiles, to take out of them a peo- 
ple for his name. 

15 And to this agi'ee the words of the pro- 
phets : as it is nTitten, 

16 ° After this I uill return, and wU build again 
the tabernacle of David \\ hich is fallen down ; 
and I ^vill build again the ruins thereof, and I 
will set it up : 

17 That the residue of men might seek after 
the Lord, and all the Gentiles, upon whom my 
name is called, saith the -Lord, who doeth all 
these things. 

18 pRnoMTi unto God are all his works from 
the beginning of the Vv orld, 

19 Wherefore my sentence is, that w^e trouble 
not them which from among the Gentiles "^ are 
tumed to God : 

20 But that we Mrite unto them, that they 
abstain from ''pollutions of idols, 2c[sAfrom ' for- 
nication, and from things sti-angled, and from 
Vblood, 

21 For Moses of old time hatli in eveiy city 
them that preach him, " being read in the syna- 
gogues every sabbath-day. 

22 H Then pleased it the apostles and elders, 
\\'ith the w^hole church, to send chosen men of 
their owm compam* to Antioch, with Paul and 
Barnabas ; namdy^ Judas, sumamed ^Barsabas, 
and Silas, chief men among the brethren : 

23 And the}- wrote letters by them after this 
manneiBff'he apostles, and elders, and brethren, 
send greying unto the brethren which are of the 
Gentiles in Antioch, and SjTia, and Cilicia : 

24 Forasmuch as we ha^e heard that ^ certain, 
which went out fi-om us, have troubled you witli 
words, subverting your souls, saying, Te must 
be circumcised, and keep the law ; to whom we 
gave no such commandment : 

25 It seemed good unto us, being assembled 
with one accord, to send chosen men unto you, 
with our beloved Barnabas and Paul : 

26 Men that have ^hazarded their lives for 
the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

27 We have sent, therefore, Judas and Silas, 
who shall also tell you the same things by 
mouth. 

28 For it seemed good to the Holy Ghost, and 
to us, to lay upon you no greater bm-den than 
these necessary things ; 

29 That je abstain from ^ meats offered to 
idols, and from *" blood, andfi'om things strangled, 
and from fornication : from \vhich if ye keep 
yourselves, ye shall do ^^■ell. Fai-e 3'e well. 

30 So, when they were dismissed, they came 
to Antioch; and, Avhen they had gathered the 
multitude together, they delivered the epistle : 

3 1 Which w hen tliey had read, they rejoiced 
for the II consolation, 

32 And Judas and Silas, being prophets also 
themselves, ''exhorted the bretliren with many 
words, and confirmed the^n. 

33 And after they had tarried there a space, 
they were let ^ go in peace from the brethren imto 
the apostles.

39 And the ^ contention was so sharp bet^veen kchap.

unto Cj-prus ; 

40 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being

a colony : iuid \\c \\ ere in that city abiding cer-

13 And on the sabbath, we went out of the

women \\ hich resorted t hither . 

14 T And a eeitiiin womiui, named Lydia, a

" opened, that she attended inito tlie tilings which 
were spoi.en of Paul.

hou^thoid, she Ix'soiip^ht us^ s:i>ing, If ye ha\e 
judged me to be iiiithliil to the Lord, come into 
nij" house, and abide there. And she "constrained 
us. 

16 11 And it came to pass, as we went to pray-

divination, met us, which brought her masters 
much P gain by soothsaying : 

17 The same follo\\ed Paul and us, and cried, 
Siiying, These men are the servants of the most 
high God, w hich she\\' unto us the w ay of sal- 
Aation. 

18 And this did she many days. But Paul, 
qsecNtu-k Ixing gricv<d, turned, and said to the spirit, ''I 
"■"'^ command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to 

come out of her. And he came out the siime

the house of ^ Jason, and sought to bring them 
out to the people. 

6 And when they found them not, they drew 
Jason, and certain brethren, unto the rulers of 
the city, ciying, ^ These that have turned the 
world upside down, are come hither also : 

7 Whom Jason hath received: and these all 
do contrary to the decrees of Cesar, saying, 
^ That there is another king, one Jesus. 

8 And they ti'oubled the people, and the rulers 
of the cit3*', when they heard these things. 

9 And when they had taken security of Jason, 
and of the other, they let them go. 

10 ^And the brethren immediately ''sent 
away Paul and Silas by night unto Berea : who 
coming t/iii/ier, went into the synagogue of the 
Jews. 

1 1 These were more noble than those in Thes- 
salonica, in that they recei^^ed the word with all 
readiness of mind, and ' searched the scriptures 
daily, whether those things were so. 

12 Therefore many of them believed; also of 
honourable women which were Greeks, and of 
men, not a few. 

13 T[ But when the Jews of Thessalonlca had 
knowledge that the word of God was preached 
of Paul at Berea, they came thither also, and 
stirred vip the people. 

14 And then immediately ^the bretliren sent 
away Paul, to go as it were to the sea: but Silas 
and Timotheus abode there still. 

15 MtJL they that conducted Paul brovight him 
unto i^lrens: and receiving a commandment 
^ unto Silas and Timotheus for to come to him 
with all speed, they departed. 

16 TlNow, while Paul waited for them at 
Athens, his spirit was " stirred in him, when he 
saw the city || wholly given to idolatr5\ 

17 Therefore disputed he in "tlie synagogue 
with the Jews, and with the devout persons, and 
in the market daily with them that met with 
him. 

18 Then certain philosophers of the Epicu- 
reans, and of the Stoicks, encountered him: 
and some said. What will this 1| babbler say? 
other some, He seemeth to be a setter forth of 
strange gods ; because he preached imto them 
Jesus, and the resun-ection. 

19 And they took him, and brought him unto 
II Areopagus, saying. May we know what this 
new doctrine, whereof thou speakest, is? 

20 For thou bringest certain strange things to 
our eai's: we would know, therefore, what Qiese 
things mean. 

21 (For all the Athenians, and strangers which 
were there, spent their time in nothing else, but 
either to tell, or to hear some new thing.) 

_ 22 H Then Paul stood in the midst of || Mars- 
. hill, and said, 2''e men of Athens, I perceive that 
in all things ye are too superstitious. 

23 For as I passed by, and beheld your || de- 
^'otions, I found an altar with this inscription, 
TO THE UNKNOWN GOD. Whom, there- 
fore, ye ignoi-antly woreliip, him declare I unto 
you.

certain man^s house, named Jnstus, one that 
worshipped God, whose house joined hard to tlie 
sj'nagogue. 

8 ''And Crispus, the chief ruler of the sjna- 
gogue, believed on the Lord, wiih all his house; 
and many of the Corinthians heaiing, belie\ed, 
and weie baptized.

by a vision. Be not afraid, but speak, and hold 
not thy peace : 

10 For I am a\ ith thee, and no man shall set 
on thee to ''huit thee ; for I have much people in

Paul preacheth. 

14 And there were seven sons of one Sceva a 
Jew, and chief of the priests, which did so. 

15 And the evil spirit answered and said, Jesus 
I know, and Paul I know : but \\\\.o are ye ? 

16 And the man in whom the evil spirit was, 
leaped on them, and overcame them, and prevail- 
ed against them, so that they lied out of that 
house naked and wounded. 

17 And this was kno\^Ti to all the Jews and 
Greeks also dwelling at Ephesus ; and ' fear fell 
on them all, and the name of the Lord Jesus was 
magnified. 

18 And many that believed came, and ™ con- 
fessed, and shewed their deeds. 

19 Many of them also which used curious 
arts, brought their books together, and burned 
tiiem before all men : and the}'^ counted the price 
of them, and found it lifty thousand pieces of 
silver. 

20 So mightily " grew the word of God, and 
prevailed. 

21 T[ After these things were ended, Paul pur- 
posed in tlie spirit, when he had passed through 
Macedonia, and Achaia, ° to go to Jerusalem, 
saying. After I have been there, p I must also see 
Rome. 

22 So he sent into Macedonia tsvo of them tliat 
ministered unto him, Timotheus and ^ Erastus ; 
but he himself stayed in Asia for a season. 

23 Ai«i tlie same time there ai'ose no small stir 
about ^ that waj^ 

24 For a certain man^ named Demetrius, a sil- 
versmith, which made silver shrines for Diana, 
' brought no small gain unto the craftsmen ; 

25 Whom he called together, with the M-ork- 
men of like occupation, and said, Sirs, ye know 
that by this craft we have our wealth. 

26 Moreover, ye see and hear, that not alone 
at Ephesus, but almost throughout all Asia, this 
Paul hath persuaded and turned away much peo- 
ple, saying, * tliat they be no gods which are made 
with hands : 

27 So that not only this our craft is in dangsr 
to be set at nought ; but also that the temple of 
the great goddess Diana should be despised, and 
her magnificence should be destroyed, whom all 
Asia and the world worshippeth. 

28 And when they heard these sayingSy they 
were full of wTath, and cried out, saying, Great 
is Diana of the Ephesians. 

29 And the whole city M-as filled with con- 
fusion : and, having caught " Gains and " Aristar- 
chus, men of Macedonia, Paul's companions in 
travel, they rushed witti one accord into the 
theatre. 

30 And when Paul would have entered in 
unto the people, the disciples suftered him 
?,ot. 

31 And certain of the chief of Asia, which 
were his friends, sent unto him, desiring hi7n 
that he would not adyenture liimself into the 
theatre. 

32 Some, therefore, cried one thing, and some

anotlier: for the assembly was confused; and tlie domini 
more part knew not wherefore tliey were come ^_J\_f 
together. 
33 And they di-ew ^ Alexander out of the mul- yiJ""- 



titude, the Jews putting him forward. And 2Tim.4.i4. 
Alexander * beckoned with the hand, and would ^chap. 
have made his defence unto the people. 

34 But when they knew that he was a Jew% all 
witli one voice, about the space of two hours, cri- 
ed out. Great is Diana of the Ephesians. 

35 And -\vhen the to^\ll- clerk had appeased the 
people, he said, Te men of Ephesus, Avhat man 
is tliere that knoweth not how that the city of 

the Ephesians, is f a Avorshipper oi the great +^^''-^^'_*'' 
goddess Diana, and of the image which fell down topJr!' 
from Jupiter ? 

36 Seeing then, that these things cannot be 
spoken against, ye ought to be quiet, and to do 
nothing rashly : 

37 For ye ha\'e brought hither these men, 
which a!"e neither robbers of churches, nor yet 
blasphemers of your goddess. 

38 Wherefore, if Demetrius, and the crafts- 
men which are with him, ha-s'e a matter against 

any man, || the lav/ is open, and there are depu- l^^Ji*Ji\ 
ties : let them implead one anothei". ""ekepT 

39 But, if ye enquire any tiling concerning 
other matters, it shall be detemiined in a i| law- l^l'^^y 
ful assembly. 

40 For we are in danger to be called in ques- 
tion for this day's uproai% there being no cav.se 
whereby we may give an account of this con- 
course.

15 And we siiiled thence, aiid came tlic next

and the next day we came to Miletus. 

16 Foi- Paul had determined to si\il by ''Ephe-

Asia : for he * hasted, if it were possible for him, 
to be at Jenis;ilem the *" day of Pentecost. 

17 If And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus, 
and allied the elders of the church. 

18 And ^^hen they were come to him, he said 
unto them. Ye kno^\•, from the first day that I 
came into Asia, after w hat manner I ha\e been 
" w ith you, at all seiisons, 

19 Ser\ing die Lord with all humility of 
mind, and with many tears and temptiitions,

ha\e taught jou jiublickly, iuid from house to

rit unto Jeaisiilem, not know ing the things that 
shall befal me there ;

eveiy city, saying, that bonds and afflictions 
]j abide me. 

24 Piut none of these things ° move me ; nei-

might » finish my course w ith joy, and the mi-

to testify die gospel of the grace of G<xl. 

25 And now, behold, I know that yc all,

28 H Take heed, dierefore, ^ unto yourselves, 
and to all the f.oek o\er the which the Holy 
Ghost hath made you o\ei-seei-s, to feed the 
church of Gcxl, which he hadi purchased with

29 For I know diis, that after my departing, 
shall grie\'ous wolves enter in among you, not 
••spiu-ing the flock. 

30 Also of your ' own sehes shall men arise, 
speaking per\erse tilings, to draw away disciples 
iifter them. 

31 Therefore watch, and remember, that, by 
the space of three yeras, I ce.ised not to \\'am 
e\'erj' one night mid da\- with tears. 

32 And now, bretliren, I commend you to

domi on the shore, and praj'ed. 

6 And when we had taken our leave one of 
another, we took ship : and diey returned home 
again. 

7 And when we had finished our course from 
Tyre, we came to Ptolemais, and saluted the 
brethren, and abode with them one day. 

8 And the next daij, we that yvere of Paul's 
company, departed, and came unto Cesai-ea: 
and we entered into the house of Philip the 
* evangelist, (/which was orw of the seven,) and 
abode with him. 

9 And tlie same man had four daughters, 
virgfhs, s which did prophesj'. 

10 If And as we tarried there many days, there 
came down from Judea a certain prophet, named 
^ Agabus. 

11 And when he was come unto us, he took 
Paul's girdle, and bound his own hajids and feet, 
and said, Thus saith the Holy Ghost, ' So shall 
the Jews at Jerusalem bind the man that owTieth 
this girdle, and shall deliver him into the hands 
of the Gentiles. 

12 And, \\-hen we heard these things, both we 
and they of that place besought him not to go up 
to Jerusalem. 

13 Then Paul answered, WTiat mean ye to 
weep, and to break mine heart ? for I am ready 
not to be bound only, ^ but iilso to die at Jerusa- 
lem, foi'-the name of the Lord Jesus. 

14 And when he would not be persuaded, 
we ceased, saying, ' The will of the Lord be 
done. 

15 And after those days we took up our car- 
riages, and went up to Jerusalem. 

16 There ^\'ent ^\■ith us also certain of the dis- 
ciples of Cesai-ea, and brought with them one 
Mnason of Cyprus, an "old disciple, with \\-hom 
we should lodge. 

17 Ti And M'hen we \A^ere come to Jerusalem, 
the brethren received us giadly.

us unto " James ; and all the elders ^vere present.

ed particularly wliat things ° God had wrought 
am.ong the Gentiles, by his p ministrv' .

things, whereof they w ere inforaied concerning 
thee, are nothing ; but that thou thyself also 
walkest orderly, and kecpest the iaw._ 

25 As touching the Gentiles ^\'hich believe, 
' we ha\e written ojid concluded, that they ob- s chap. i5 
serve no such thing, sa^"e only that they keep 
tliemsehes fi-om things oifered to idols, and 
from blood, and from strangled, and from for- 
nication. 

26 Then Paul took the men, and the next day 
purifying himself with them, entered into the 

^ temple, " to signify the accomplishment of the tchap. 
days of purification ; until that an ofiering should 
be offered for e\ery one of them. 

27 H And. when the se^en days were almost 
ended, "^ the Jevrs which ^vere of Asia, when they 
sa^v hii-n in the temple, stin-ed up ail the people, 
and laid hands on him, 

28 Crying out, Men of Israel, help: this is the 
man that teacheth all inen eveiy where ^ against y chap. 
the people, and the law, and this place; andfrir- ^■*'^" 
ther, brought Greeks also into the temple, and 
hath polluted this holy place. 

29 (For they had seen before with him in 

the citj', ^ Trophimus an Ephesian, whom ^cha?, 
they supposed that Paul had brought into the ^'*' 
temple.) 

30 And all the citj'^ -was mo-ved, and the peo- 
ple ran together ; and tliey took Paul, ;md di-ew, 
him out of die temple : and forthw ith the doors 
were shut. 

31 And as they went about to ^ kill him, tid- a chap, 
ings came unto the chief captain of the band, '^"^^ 
that all Jerusalem ^yas in an uproar ; 

32 \\^ho inmiediately took ^ soldiers and cen- b chap, 
turions, and ran down unto them: and when "■^^' 
they saw the chief captain and the soldiers, they 

left beating of Paul. 

_ 33 Then the chief captain came near, and took 
him, and commanded hi7n to ^ be bound with cver.ii, 
tA^o chains; and demanded who he was, and 
^\"hat he liad done. 

34 And some cried one thing, ^ some another, d Mark 
among the multitude; and, when he could not ^*'*^ 
know' the certainty for the tumult, he command 

ed him to be carried into the castle. 

35 And ^\■hen he came upon the stairs, so it 
was tliat he was bome of the soldiers, for the 
violence of the people. 

36 For the multitude of the people followed 
after, crjing, * Away with him. ecisp, 

37 And as Paul_ was to be led into the castle, ^'^ 
he said unto the chief captain. May I speak unto

these days madest an uproar, and leddest ou' 
into the A\-ildeniess four thousand men tliat were

CHAP. xxn. 

1 Paul declareth at large, hoiv he was converted 
to the faith, 17 and called to his apostlcship: 
22 at the very mentioning of' the Gentiles, the 
people exclaim on him. 24 He should have been 
scoi/rged, 25 but claiming the privilege of a 
Roman, he cscapeth. 

* A T ' '-^' brethren, and fathers, hear ye my de- 
JA-L t'cnce, which I make now unto you. 

2 (And when they heaid that he spake in the 
Hebrew tongue to them, they kept tlie more 
silence : iuid he siiith,) 

3 '' I am \ e: ily a man vihich am a Jew, born 
in Tarsus, a citij in Cilicia, yet brought up in 
tliis city, ut the icet of "■ Gamaliel, ^//^ taught ac- 
cordiiig to the peifect manner of the law of the 
fathers, and was zealous towards God, as ye all 
are this day. 

4 ^ And I persecuted this way unto the death, 
binding and cleti\ cring into prisons both men and 
women. 

5 As also the high priest doth bear me witness, 
and all tlie ' estate of tlie elders : from whom also 
I rccei\ed letters unto the brethren, and went to 
Damascus, to bring them which were there, 
bound Uiito Jeiiiialem, for to be punished. 

6 And it came to pass, that, as I made my 
journey, and was come *'nigh unto Damascus, 
iilx)ut iioon, suddenly there shone from heaven a 
gieat light round about me. 

7 And I fell unto the groimd, and heard a 
voice saying unto me, Saul, Saul, why persecut- 
cst thou me ? 

8 vVnd I answered. Who ait thou, Lord.^ And 
he said unto me, I am Jesus of Nazareth, whom 
thou |)crsccutest. 

9 And « diey diat were with me, saw indeed 
the light, and were afraid; but they heard not tlie 
■voice of him that spake to me. 

10 And I said, What shall I do, Lord .' And 
the Lord said unto me, Arise, and go into Da- 
mascus; and there it shall be told thee of all 
tilings which are appointed for thee to do. 

1 1 And w hen 1 could not see for tlie gIor>' of 
bchap.9.8. that light, *" being led by the hand of tliem that 

\\ere with me, I came into Damascus. 

12 And one Ananias, a devout man, accord- 
ing to the la\v, ha\ing a good report of all the 
Jews w hich dwelt there, 

13 Came unto me, and stood, and said unto 
me, Brother Saul, receive th\- sigiit. ^ And the 
same hour I looked up upon him. 

14 And he said. The God of our fathers liadi 
chosen thee, that thou shoukkst know his w ill, 
and see Uiat Just One, and shouldest heai- the 
voice of his mouth. 

15 I' or thou slialt be his 'witness unto all men,

17 And it came to pass, that, when I was 
come again to Jerusalem, even w hile I prayed in 
tlie temple, I was in "' a ti"ance ; 

18 And saA\' him " saying unto me. Make 
haste, and get thee quickly out of Jerusalem : 
for tliey w ill not receive tliy testimony concern- 
ing me. 

19 And I said. Lord, they know that I im- 
prisoned and ° beat in every synagogue them \^l^- 
that believed on thee : 

20 P And \\ hen the blood of tliy martjT Ste- p ch»p- 
phen was shed, I also was standing by, and con- 
senting unto his death, and kept the raiment of 
them that slew- him. 

21 And he said unto me. Depart: for 1 1 
send thee far hence unto the Gentiles. 

22 And they gave him audience unto this 
word, and then lifted up tlieir voices, iuid said, 

■■ Aw ay widi such afellovo fiom the earth ; for it ^chap. 
is not ' fit thiit he should li\e. sa».Vp. 

23 And as they cried out, and cast off their "•**• 
clodies, and thiew dust into the iiir, 

24 The chief captain commanded him to be 
brought into the castle, and bade that he should 
be examined by scourging; tha* he might know 
w herefore they cried so against him. 

25 H And, as they bound him with thongs, 
Paul said unto the centurion that stood bv, ' Is it \^J- 
la\\ful for you to scoinge a mim that is a Roman, 
iind uncondcmned ? 

26 When die centurion heaid that, he went 
and told the chief captain, saying, Ti^e heed 
what thou doest : for this man is a Rorrraii. 

27 Then the chief captain came, and said un- 
to him, Tell me, art thou a Roman ? He said, 
Yea. 

28 And the chief captain ans^vered, Witli a 
great sum obtained I this freedom. And Paul 
said. But I w,\sfree bom. 

29 Then sti-aightway "they departed from him ^^'^J^^ 
whidi should lia\e il examined him : and the I'or, »or. 
chief captain also was afraid, iifier he knew that [.""li'."^ 
he A\as a Roman, and because he had bound Hetir.njs. 
him. 

30 1i On the morro\\ , because he would have 
known the certainty wherefore he was accused 
of the Jews, he loosed him from /lis bands, and 
commanded the chief prietits and all their coun- 
cil to appear, and brought Paul down, and set 
him belbre them.

Dissension among his accusers : CHAP 

3 Then said Paul unto him, God shall smite 
thee, thou whited wall : for sittest thou to judge 
me after the la^r, and commandest me to be 
smitten, " contrary to the lav\- ? ^ 

4 And thty that stood by, said, Revilest thou 
God's high priest r 

5 Then said Paul, I wist not, brethren, that 
he A\-as die high priest : for it is -\vritten, ^ Thou 
slialt not speak evil of the ruier of thy people. 

6 •![ But \\hen Paul perceived that the one 
p:ut were Sadd.ucees, and the other Pharis'ees, 
he cried out m the council, jNIen a7id bretliren, 
^ I am a Pkirisee, the son of a Pharisee : ^ of the 
hope and i-esurrection of the dead I am called in 
question. 

7 And when he had so said, there M"ose a dis- 
sension between the Phaj-isees iuid tlie Saddu- 
cees : and the multitude A^as diA'idcd. 

8 ^For the Sadducees say, that there is no 
resuiTection, neither angel nor spirit; but the 
Phaiisees confess both. 

9 And there arose a great crj' : and the scribes 
that luere of the Pharisees' part arose, and strove, 
Siivirg, ^ We find no evil in this man : but if ' a 
spirit or an angel hath spoken to him. let us not 
^ fight against God. 

10 IT And when there arose a great dissension, 
the chief captain, fearing lest Paul should have 
been puiled in pieces of them, commanded the 
sold'.ers to go do^^n, and to take him by force 
from among them, and to bring hijn into the 
castle. 

11 Arid the night following, ^tlie Lord stood 
Ijy him, and said. Be of good cheer, Paul ; for as 
thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must 
thou bear witness also at Rome. 

12 % Arid, when it was day, certain of the Jews 
banded together, and bound themselves \\ under 
a curse, saying, That they v.-ould neither eat nor 
drink till they had killed Paxil. 

13 And they were more tlian foitj" which had 
made this conspiracy. 

14 And they came to the chief priests and 
elders, aaid said, '\\ e have bound ourselves 
under a great curse, that we will eat nothing, 
until we have slain Paul. 

15 Now, therefore, ye with the council signi- 
fy' to the chief captain, that he "' bring liim doA\ii 
unto you to-morro^v, as though ye Avould en- 
quire something more perfectly concerning him; 
and we, or ever he come near, are ready to kill 
him. 

16 And when Paul's sister's son heard of 
their lying in wait, he went and entered into the 
castle, " and told Paul. 

17 Then Paul called one of tlie centurions 
imto him, and said. Bring this young man unto 
the cliief -captain : for lie hath a certain thing to 
tell him. 

18 So he took him, and brought him to the 
chief captain, and said, Paul the prisoner called 
me unto him, and prayed me to bring this young 
man unto thee, who hath something to say unto 
thee. 

19 Then the chief captain took him by the

20 And he said, °The Je,\s have agreed to

Paul to-morrow into the council, as though 
they A\"ould enquire some^vhat of him more per-

The 
y\ ND after five cla>-.s, * Ananias the high priest 
-TV. descended with the ciden;, and v^-it/i a ccitain 
orator named Tertuikis, who infomied tiie go- 
N ernor agiust Piiul, 

2 :\.nd, \\ h.:n he \\"as called foith, Teitulius be-

iye done unto litis nation by thy ])ro\!dence, 

3 \V''e accept i/ah\ays, ar.d in all places, ''most 
noble Felix, with all thankfulness. 

4 Notwithstiuiding, that I be not further tedi- 
ous unto thee, I pray thee, that thou wouldest 
hear us, of thy clemency, a few ^vords : 

5 For Me hiive found this man a *= pestilent 
felloiv, and a mover of sedition among all the 
Je\\s throughout the "world, and a ringleader of 
the sect ol' the Nazarenes : 

6 Who also hath gone alx)ut to '^profime the 
temp'e; whom \\e took, and would have judged 
according to our law : 

7 But the chief captain Lysias came upon 
us, and whh gicdt violence ' took /dm aw ay out 
of our hands, 

8 Commanding his accusers to *^comc unto 
thee ; by examining of whom, thyself mayest 
take kno\\kdge of all these things \vhereof \ve 
accuse liim. 

9 And the Jews also assented, saying,. That 
these things w ere so. 

10 ^ Then Paul, after tliat the governor had 
beckoned unto him to speak, answered. Foras- 
much as I know tliat thou ha.st been of many 
yeiirs a judge unto this nation, I do the more 
cheerfully ans\'. er for myself: 

1 1 Because^ that thou mayest understand, that 
there ai^e yet but twelve days since I went up to 
Jerusalem ^ for to \\ orship. 

12 And they neither found me in the temple 
disputing with any man, ** neither raising up the 
people, neither in the synagogues, nor in the city: 

1 3 Neither can they prove the things w hereof 
they now accuse me. 

14. But diis I confess unto thee, diat 'after the 
wr.y w hich they call heresy, so worshii) I the God 
of "my fathers, Ix'lieving all things w hich aie 
w ritten in the law and in the prophets : 

15 And ha\e hope towaicl God, which they 
diemseUes ;ilso allow, that there shall be a resur- 
rection of the dead, both of the just and unjust. 

16 And herein do I exercise myseli, to ''have 
alwa\s a conscience Aoid of offence toward God, 
and iaivard -A^cn. 

17 Now, after miuiy yeais, I came to bring 
'alms to my nation, and offerings. 

18" \\'heieupon certain Jew s from Asia found 
me purified in the temple, neither with multi- 
tude, nor wiih tumult: 

19 \\'ho ought to have been here before thee,' 
and "object if diey had aught against me. 

20 Or else let these same /icn; sav, if^they have 
found any e\ il-doing in me while I sto'xl before 
the c(juncil, 

21 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried 
standing am )ng them, » Touching the resurrec- 
tion of the dead, I am called in question by you 
this day.

22l[And when Felix heard these things, ha^-- 
ing more perfect knowledge of that \\ay, he 
deieired thtm, and said, ^^'hen '' Ljsias the 
cliief captain shall come dow n, I will know the 
uttermost of your matter. 

23 And he commanded a centurion to keep 
Paul, and to let ///';;/ ha\ e libert\-, and that he 
^should forbid noric of his acquaintiince to mi- 
nister or come unto him. 

24 ^ And after certain days, when Felix came 
with his wife Dru.siila, which was a Jewess, he 
sent for Paul, aixl heiu-d him concerning the fuiUi 
in Christ. 

25 And iis he reasoned of righteousness, tem- 
perance, and judgment to come, ''Felix trem- 
bled, and answ ered. Go thy w ay for this time ; 
when I ha\e a convenient season, I w ill ciill for 
thee. 

2G T[ He hoped iilso that 'money should ha\e 
been given him of Paul, that he might loose 
him : \\ herefore he sent for him the oftener, and 
communed with him.

into Felix's room: and Felix, willing to shew

NOV\' when Festus was come into the pro- 
\ince, alter three days, he ascended from 
^Cesarea to Jerusukm. 

2 Then the '' high priest, and the ' chief of 
the Jew s, informed him against Paul, and be- 
sought him ; 

3 ^\nd desired favour against him, tliat lie 
would send for him to Jerusiilem, ** ]ayingn\ait 
in the way to kill him. 

4 But Festus iuiswered, that Paul should be 
kept at Cesarea, and that he himself would de- 
part shortly thither. 

5 Let them, therefore, said he, which among 
you are able, go down ivith me, and accuse this 
man, if tlieie be any ' w ickedness in him. 

6 And when he had tarried among them 
II more than ten da>'s, he w ent do\\ n unto Cesa-

seat, commiuided Paul to be brought. 

7 An.d ^\ hen he was come, the Jews wliich

and laid many and grievous complaints against 
Paul, ^which they could not pro\e:

temple, nor yet against Cesar, lune 1 oHended 
anv thing at all. 

9 But PY^stus, willing to do ^-'Uie Jews a plea- 
sure, ans\\eied Paul, and said, ''Wflt thou go 
up to Jerusalem, and there be judged of these 
things Ix'fore me ? 

10 Then said Paul, I stiuid at Cesar's judg- 
ment seat, where I ought to be judged: to the

Paul appealeih to Cesar. _ CHAP. 

Jews have I clone no wrong, as thou verj^ well 
kno\\est. 

1 1 For if I be an offender, or haAe committed 
any tiling 'worthy of death, I refuse not to die: 
but if there be none of tliese things \\ hereof tliese 
acxuse me, no man may deliAcr me unto them. 
^ I appeal unto Cesar. 

li Then Festus, when he had conferred with 
the council, ans\\'ered, Hast thou appealed unto 
Cesar.'' unto Cesar shalt tiiou go. 

13 ir And after certain days, king Agrippa and 
Remice came unto Cesarea, to salute Festus. 

14 And when they had been there many da\'s, 
Festus declared Paul's cause unto the king, say- 
ing, ' There is a certain man left in bonds bv 
Felix: 

15 About -" whom, when I Avas at Jeiiisalem, 
tlie chief priests and the elders of the Jcavs in- 
fogued nie, desiring to have judgment against 
him. 

16 To \\hom I aiiswered. It is not tlie manner 
of the Romans to deliver any man to die, " before 
that he ^\"hich is accused ha\e the accusers fece 
to face, and ha\"e licence to ansA\'er for liimself, 
concerning the crime laid against him. 

17 Therefore, ^^"hen they were come hitlier, 
° without any delay, on tlie morrow I sat on the 
judgment- seat, and commanded the man to be 
brought forth : 

18 Against \vhom, when the accusers stood 
up, they brought none accusation of such things 
as I supposed : 

19 But had certain ^ questions agamst him of 
their o\\n superstition, and of one Jesus, which 
Avas dead, whom Paul afhmied to be ali\e. 

20 And because j| I doubted of such manner 
of questions, I asked //im whether he would go to 
Jerusalem, and there be judged of these matters. 

^ ^ But when Paul liad appealed to be reserved 
unto the || hearing of Augustus, I commanded 
him to be kept till I might send him to Cesai". 

22 Tlvjn iigrippa said unto Festus, I \\-ould 
also hear the man myself. To-morrow, said he, 
1 thou shait hear him. 

23 \i And on tlie uioitom', when Agrippa ^^'as 
come, and Bemice, i^ith great pomp, and was 
entered into the place of hearing, Mith the chief 
captains, and principal men of the city, at Festus' 
commandment Paul -v^as brought forth. 

24 And Festus said, King Agiippa, and all 
men v,hich aie here present \\'ith us, ye see this 
man, '^ about v.hom all the multitude^ of the Jews 
ha\'e dealt with me, both at Jerusalem, and also 
here, crying ' that he ought not to Ii\ e any 
longer. 

25 But A\-hen I found that he had committed 
nothiiig * worthy of death, and that he himself 
hath " appealed to Augustus, I have determined 
to send him. 

26 Of *^-hom I haAC no ceilain thing to \nite 
unto m\- lord. Wherefore I ha\'e brought him 
forth l)efore you, and specially before tliee, O 
king Agrippa, that after examination had, I 
juiglit have somewhat to waite. 

27 For it seemeth to me unreasonable to send 



XXVI. Paul declareth his life, 'd^c. 

a prisoner, and not withal to signify the crimes 
laid against him. 

CHAP. XXVI. 

1 Pauh in Agrippa^s presence, declareth his life 
from hislhildhood, /lisivondeifulconversio)!., and 
call to the aposikship. 24 Festus char get h Paul 
ivith 77iaduess ; 25 his modest reply, atid address 
to Agrippa; 28 Agrippa' s_ answer. 30 T/ie 
ivhole compa7iy pronounce hiin hmocent. 

THEN * Agrippa said unto Paul, T1k)u art 
permitted to si>eak for thyself. Then Paul 
sti-etched fortli the hand, and answered for him- 
self: 

2 I think myself happy, king Agrippa, beaiuse 
I shall answer for myself this day before thee, 
touching all the things whereof I am accused of 
tlie Je^^■s ; 

3 Especially because I know thee to be '' expert 
in all customs and questions M'hich ai^e among 
the Jews; \\-herefore I beseech tliee to hear me 
patiently. 

4 My manner of life from my youth, "which 
was at the fii"st among mine oaati nation at Jeru- 
salem, know all the Jews; 

5 ^\'hich knew me from tlie beginning, (if 
they AAould testify,) tliat after the " most straitest 
sect of our religion, I lived a Phmsee. 

6 And now, I stand, and am judged, for die hope 
of ^ the promise made of God, unto our fathers : 

7 Unto -which promise our ^ twelve tribes, in- 
stantly serving God day and night, hope to come : 
for wliich hope's sake, kmg Agrippa, I am ac- 
cused of the Jews. 

S ^^^hy should it he thought a thing incredi- 
ble with you, that God should raise the dead? 

9 I -verily thought with myself, that I ' ought 
to do many things contrary- to tlie name of Jesus 
of Nazai-eth. 

10 ° ^\''}lich thing I also did in Jeiiisalem : and 
many of the saints did I shut up in prison, hav- 
ing receiAcd autlioritj' fi-om the chief priests: 
and when they wexe put to death, I ga\ e my 
Aoice against them. 

1 1 '^ And I punished tlieni oft in e^ery sj^ia- 
•gogue, and compelled them to blaspheme: 'and 
being exceedingly mad against them, I persecut- 
ed them e\en unto strange cities. 

12 \\liereupon, r^s I went ' to Damascus witli 
authority' and commission fi-om the chief priests, 

13 At mid-day, O king,-I saw in the A\ay, a 
light fi-om hea\-en, abo\e the brigliti-iess of the 
sun, shining round about me, and tlieni -\\hich 
journej'ed -\^"ith me. 

14 And, -^.^-iien we -\\ere all fallen to the earth, 
^ I heard a \oice speaking unto me, and saying 
in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, \\h\' perse- 
cutestthou me ? It is hard for thee to kick against 
the pricks. 

15 And I said, \Mio art thou. Lord? And he 
said, I am Jesus, whom thou persecutest. ^ _ r y 

16 But rise, and stand upon diy feet: for 1 
have appeared unto thee for 'diis purpose, to 
nicike thee a minister and a AAitness, both of 
these things M-hich thou hast seen, and of those 
things in the \\hich I Avill appear unto thee ;

956 A^rippa almost a Christian. The ACTS. 

17 Delivering thee from the people, ixnf^ from 
the Gentiles, ™ unto \v horn now I send thee, 

18 To "open their eyes, andtoX.\in\ t/iem from 
darkness to light, ;ind from tlie power ot" Satiar 
unto God, tfu'.t they may recei\e lbrgi\eness oi" 
sins, and inheritanee among them which are 
• sanctiticd by faith that is in me. 

19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I ^\•as not 
disolx-dient unto the hea\ enl}' vi.sion : 

20 But shewed, i" first unto them of Damascus 
and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts 
of Judea, and then to the Gentiles, that they 
should rtpent and turn to God, and do works 
^ meet for repenUince. 

21 For these causes tlie Jews "■ caught me in 
the ttn^.i^le, and went about to kill me. 

22 Hci\ ing, therefore, obtiiined help of God, I 
continue unto this day, witnessing both to small 
and great, saying none otlier diings than those 
which the ' prophets and Moses did siiy should 
come ; 

23 Thiit Christ should sufler, and that he 
should l>e the first that should rise from the dead, 
and should shew light unto the people, and to the 
Gentiles. 

24 1[ And as he thus spake for himself, Festus 
said with a loud voice, Paul, thou art * beside tliy- 
self; much leiuniing doth nwke thee mad. 

25 But he said, I am not mad, most noble 
Festus, but speak f(jrth the words of truth and 
soberness. 

2G For the king knoweth of these things, be- 
fore w horn also I speak freely : for I am persuaded 
that none of these things are hidden from him : 
l<)r this thing was not done in a comer. 

27 King Agrippa, believest thou the prophets ? 
I know thai thou believest. 

28 Then Agiippa said unto Paul, "Almost 
thou persuadest me to be a Christian. 

29 And Paul said, * I would to God, that not 
only thou, but also all that hear me this day, were 
botji almost and altogether such as I am, except 
these bonds. 

30 TI And, \vhen he had thus spoken, the king 
rose up, and the governor, and Bernice, and they 
that sat witli them. 

31 And when they were gone aside, tliey 
talked between themselves, saying, This man 
docth nothing ' worthy of death or of bonds. 

32 Then said Agrippa unto Festus, This man 
might have been set at liberty, if he had not * ap- 
pealed unto Cesar.

Paul's dangerous -voyage. 

3 And the next day we touched at Sidon. 
And Julius <= courteously entreated Paul, iuid 
^.\\c him liberty to go unto his friends, to refresh 
himself. 

4 And when \\e had launched from tlience, 
we sailed under * Cyprus, because the winds 
\\ ere contrary. 

5 And when we had sailed over the sea of 
Cilicia, and Pamphylia, we came to Myra, a citi/ 
of Lycia. 

6 And rficrc the centurion found a ship of 
Aleximdiia, sailing into Italy; and he put us 
therein. 

7 And when we had sailed slowly man\' days, 
and scarce were come o^er against Cnidiis, the 
w ind not suffering us, \\ e sailed under |! Crete, 1.^^- 
over agtiinst Sa'mone ; ''" '' 

8 And hardly jxissing it, came unto a place 
which is called The Fair Ha\ens, nigh where- 
unto was the city o/"Lasca, 

9 11 Now', when much time was spent, and 
when sailing w as now dangerous, because * tlie *.^n th, 
fast \vas noAv ahxady past, Paul admonishecl t/iem, ^^^^^^^"^ 

10 And said unto them. Sirs, I percei^ e diat «eveuth 
diis \ oyage ^\ ill be \\ ith || hurt and much damage, i.t"%z. 
not only of the lading mid ship, but also of our f;,f 
lives. 

11 Ne^•erthelcss, the centurion believed the 
master and the ow ner of the ship, more than 
those things w hich were spoken by Paul. 

12 ^[ And because the haven was not commo- 
dious to w inter in, the more p<irt ad\ ised to de- 
piut thence also, if by any means they might 
attain to Phenice, and thereto winter: which is 
an haven "^ of Crete, and lieth to\\ard tlie south- 
west and north-west. 

13 And when the south wind blew softly, 
supposing that they had o!)tained their puipose, 
loosing thence, they sailed close b\- Crete. % • 

14 But not long after, there || arose against it a \OT.hea^ 
tempestuous w iml, called Furoclydon. w/i?;*.' 

15 And when tlie ship was anight, and could 
not bear up into the w ind, we let her drive : 

16 And running under a certain island, wliieh 
is called Clauda, we had much work to come by 
the boat; 

- 17 Which when they had taken up, they used 
helps, undergirding the ship; and, fearing lest 
they should tall into tlie quicksands, strake sail, 
and so were dri\ en. 

18 And we being exceedingly tossed w idi a 
tempest, the next day they lightened die ship : 

19 And the third day, we cast out with our 
owTi hands die tackling of the ship. 

20 And when neiUier sun nor stxirs in many 
days appeared, and no sniiUI tempest lay on us, 
^ all hope that we should be saved was then taken 
away. 

21 If But, after long abstinence, Paul stood 
forth in the midst of them, and sai^. Sirs, >c 
should ha\e hearkened unto me, and not have 
loosed from Crete, iuid to have gained this harm 
and loss. 

22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer , 
for there shall be no loss of any mail's life among 
you, but of the ship.

Paulas voyage to JRome. CHAP. 

23 For there stood by me this night, s the an- 
gel of God, whose I am, and ^ whom I serve, 

24 Saying, Fear not, Paul ; thou must be 
brought before Cesar : and, lo, God hath given 
thee all them that sail ^vith thee. 

25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer ; for '■ I be- 
lieve God, that it shall be even as it v»^as told me. 

26 Howbeit, ^ we must be cast upon a ceitain 
island. 

27 But when the fourteenth night ^\'as come, 
as we were driven up and down in Adria, alx)ut 
midnight, the shipmen deemed that they drew 
near to some countiy ; 

28 And sounded, and found z> twenty fathoms ; 
and when they had gone a little further, they 
sounded again, and found k fifteen fathoms. 

29 Then, fearing lest they should have fallen 
upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the 
stem, and wished for the day. 

30 And as the shipmen were about to flee out 
of the ship, ^vhen they had let down the boat into 
the sea, under colour as though they would have 
cast anchors out of the foreship, 

31 Paul said to the centurion, and to the 
soldiers, ' Except these abide in the ship, ye 
cannot be saved. 

32 Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the 
boat, and let her fall off. 

33 And, while the day ^vas coming on, Paul 
besought them all to ™ take meat, saying. This 
day is the fourteenth day that ye have tairied, 
and continued fasting, having taken nothing. 

34 Wherefore I pray j^ou to take some meat ; 
for this is for your health : for there shall not an 
" hair fall from the head of any of you. 

35 And when he had thus spoken, he took 
bread, and ° gave tlianks to God in presence of 
them all : and when he had broken it, he began 
-to«at. 

36 Then were they all of good cheer, and they 
also took some meat. 

37 And we were in all in the ship, two hun- 
dred threescore and sixteen ^ souls. 

38 And when they had eaten enough, they light- 
ened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea. 

39 And M'hen it was day, they kne^v not the 
land : but they discovered a ceilain creek with a 
shore, into the which they were minded, if it 
were possible, to thrust in the ship. 

40 And when they had || taken up the anchors, 
they committed themselves unto the sea, and 
loosed the rudder-bands, and hoised up the 
main-sail to the wind, and made toward shore. 

41 And, falling into a place where two seas 
met, they ran the ship ^ aground : and the fore- 
part stuck fast, and remained unmoveable, but 
the hinder part was broken with the violence of 
the waves. 

42 And the soldiers' counsel was to kill the 
prisoners, lest any of them should swim out, and 
escape, 

43 But the centurion, willing to save ^ Paul, 
kept them from their purpose, and commanded 
that they which could swim, should cast them- 
selves first ifito the sea, and get to land : 



XXVin. The viper on his hand. 

44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on 
broken pieces of the ship : and so it came to pass, 
that they escaped ' all safe to land. 

CHAP, xxvin. 

1 Paul and his company kindly entertained by the 
barbarians ; 3 a viper from the Jircfasteneth on 
PauVs hand, and nurteth him not : 7 he healeth 
many diseases in t/ie islajid : W. they depart to- 
ivar'd Pome .-17 he declareth the cause of his 
cojning ; 23 he preacheth Christ ; 24 some be- 
lieve, and some believe not : 30 he continiieth to 
preach there two years. 

AND when they were escaped, then they 
knew that the ' island was called Melita. 

2 And the ^ barbarous people shelved us no 
little kindness : for they kindled a fire, and re- 
ceived us every one, because of the present rain, 
and because of the cold. 

3 IT And when Paul had gathered a bundle of 
sticks, and laid them on the fire, there came a 
viper out of the heat, and fastened on his hand. 

4 And, when the barbarians saw the venomous 
beast hang on his hand, they said among them- 
selves, No doubt this man is a murderer, whom, 
though he hath escaped the sea, yet vengeance 
suffereth not to live. 

5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, 
and felt '^ no harm. 

6 Howbeit, they looked \'\ hen he should have 
swollen, or fallen down dead suddenly : but after 
they had looked a great while, and saw no harm 
come to him, they changed their minds, and said 
that he was a ^ god. 

7 H In the same quarters vvere possessions of 
the chief man of the island, whose name was 
Publius, who received us, and lodged us three 
days courteously. 

8 And it came to pass, that the father of Pub- 
lius lay sick of a fever, and of a bloody flux : to 
whom Paul entered in, and ^ prayed, and ^ laid 
his hands on him, and healed him. 

9 So when this was done, others also v.hich 
had diseases in the island, came, and were healed ; 

10 Who also honoured us with ^ many ho- 
nours ; and, when we departed, they laded iis 
with such things as were necessary. 

1 1 *![ And after tliree months we departed in a 
ship of ^ Alexandria, wfiich had wintered in the 
isle, whose sign was Castor and Pollux. 

12 And landing at Syracuse, we tarried there 
three days. 

13 And from thence we fetched a compass, and 
came to Rhegium : and after one day the south 
wind blew, and we came the next day to Puteoli j 

14 W^here we found brethren, and were de- 
sired to taiTy with them seven days : and so we 
went toward Rome. 

15 And from thence, when the brethren heard 
of us, they came to meet us as far as Appii Fo- 
rum, and the Three Taverns ; whom when Paul 
saw, he thanked God, and took courage. 

16 And, when we came to Rome, the centu- 
rion delivered the prisoners to the capt^dn of the 
guard ; but Paul was suft'ered to dwell by ' him- 
self with a soldier that kept him.

them. Men ami bretliren, ^ though 1 huN e com-

Jerus;ilem into the hands of the Romans ; 

18 ^^'llo, wlien they had "" examined me, 
^\ould ha\e let me go, because tliere Mas no 
cause of death in me. 

19 Rut when the Jews spake against it, I ^v•as 
constrained to " appeal unto Cesar ; not that I 
had auijht to accuse my nation of. 

20 For this cause therefore haxQ I called for 
j'ou, to see you, and to speak with i/oii ; because 
that for die ° hope of Israel, I am bound with

21 And they said unto him, We neither re-

neither anj- of the brethi-en that came shewed or 
spake any harm of thee. 

22 But \\Q. desire to hear of thee what thou

that e\erj- w here it is ^ spoken against.

24 And • some belie^ed the things \\hich 
were spoken, and some belie\ed not. 

25 And wiien the>' agreed not among thcm- 
sehes, diey departed, after that Paul had spoken 
one word, Weil spake the Holy Ghost by Esaias 
the proph.et inito our fathers, 

26 Saying, ' Go unto tliis people, and say, 
Hearing ye shall hear, and shall not understand ; 
luid seeing ye shiJl see, and not ixrceive : 

27 For the heart of tliis peojjle is waxed gioss, 
and their eiu's are dull of hearing, and their eyes 
ha\e they closed ; lest they should see widi f/uir

should heal them. 

28 Be it knowni, therefore, unto you, tliat the 
siihation of God is sent unto the " Gentiles, aiid 
t//at they \\ ill hear it. 

29 And when he had said these words, the 
Jews departed, and had great leasoning among 
themselves. 

30 li And Paul dwelt two ^\ hole yeai-s in his 
own hiied house, and received all that came in 
unto him,

The sins of the Gentiles. CHAP. 

19 Because that which may be known of God, 
is manifest || in them : for God hath shewed it 
unto them. , 

20 For the invisible things of him from the 
creiition of the world are clearly " seen, being 
understood by the things that are made, e'-cen his 
eternal power and Godliea^; II so that they are 
without excuse : 

21 Because that, when they knew God, they 
glorified hitii not as God, neither \yere thcmkfal ; 
but "became vain in their imaginations, and their 
foolish heart was darkened. 

22 Professing themselves to be wise, ^they 
became fools ; 

23 And changed the glory of the unconaiptible 
iQod, into an image made like to corruptible 
man, and to birds, and four-footed beasts, and 
creeping things. 

24 Wherefore God also gave them up to un- 
cleanness tlirough the lusts of their own hearts, to 
^dishonour dieir own- bodies between 'tiiem- 
selves : 

25 Who changed the ti'uth of God into a lie, 
and worshipped and served the creature [| more 
than the Creator, who is blessed for e\'er. 
Amen. 

26 For this cause God ga\^e them up unto 
* vile affections : for e\en their _ women did 
change the natural use into tliat wlaich is against 
nature: 

27 And likewise also .the men, leaving the 
natural use of the woman, burned in their lust 
one toward another ; men with men, ^\-orking that 
which is unseemly, and receiving in themsehes 
that recompence of dieir error, which was 
meet. 

28 And t\tn as they did not like || to retain 
God in their knowledge, God gave them over 
to II a reprobate mind, to do those things which 
are not con^•enient : 

29 Being filled with all " unrighteousness, 
fornication, wickedness, co^etousness, malici- 
ousness; full of en\'y, murder, debate, deceit, 
malignitj^; whisperers, 

30 Backbiters, haters of God, despiteful, 
proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, diso- 
bedient to pai-ents, 

31 Without understanding, covenant- break- 
ers, II without natural affection, implacable, un- 
merciful: 

32 Who, knowing the ''judgment of God, 
that they which commit such things are worthy 
of ^ death, not only do the same, but || have 
pleasure in them that do them.. 

CHAP. II. 
1 They that condemn sin in others^ and are guilty 
of the like themsehes., cannot escape God''s judg- 
ment, 6 which will be according to even/ mart's 
deserts, 'ivhether feiv or Gentile. 14 The Gen-

4 Now to him^ '^that \\orketh, iB tiie reward 
not reckoned of grace, but of debt. 

5 But to him that worketh not, but beheveth 
on him that justifieth the ungodly, his feith is 
counted for righteousness. 

6 E\en as David also describeth the blessed- 
ness of the man unto whom God imputeth right- 
eousness widiout works, * 

7 Saying, ^ Blessed are they whose iniquities 
are forgl^■en, and whose sins are covered. 

8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will 
not impute sin. 

9 Cometh tliis blessedness then upon the cir- 
cumcision ^only, or upon the uncircumcision 
also ? for A\'e say that faith was reckoned to 
Abraliam for righteousness. 

10 HoAv ^^"as it then reckoned ? \\hen he was 
in circumcision, or in uncircumcision ? Not in 
circumcision, but in ^ micircumcision. 

11 And he received die sign of circumcision, 
a seal of the righteousness of the faith which he 
had, yet bein^- uncircumcised ; ^that he might 
be the father ot all them tliat believe, though thej^ 
be not circumcised, that righteousness might be 
imputed mito them also ; 

12 And the father of circumcision to them 
who ai'e not of the circumcision only ; but who 
also walk ix the steps of that faith of oiu" father 
Abraham, which he had, being yet imcircumcised. 

13 For the promise that he should be tlie 
' heir of the world, \vas not to Abraham, or to 
his seed, thi'ough the law, but tluough tlie 
righteousness of faith. 

14 For if they which are ^ of the law, ^^ heirs, 
faith is made void, and the promise made of none 
eiFect : 

15 Because ' the law ^vorketh -uTath ; for where 
no law is, there is no transgression. 

16 Therefore it is of faith, that . it might be by 
grace ; to the end the promise might be sure to 
all the seed ; not tothat only \\hich is of the law, 
but to that also ^^"llich is of the laith of Abraliam, 
who is the father of us all, 

17 (As it is A\Titten, '"I ha\e made thee a fa- 
ther of many nations,) || before him whom he 
believed, eveti God, Avho "quickeneth the dead, 
and calleth those things ^\'hich be ° not as though 
they were : 

18 Who agdnst liope belie\ed in hope, that 
he might become the fadier of many nations ; 
according to tliat which Avas spoken, p So shall 
thy seed be, 

19 And, being not weak in faith, he consider- 
ed not his own body now dead, when he was 
about an huridred ye<irs old, neither yet the 
' deadness of Sai*a's womb : 

20 He staggered not at the promise of God 
through unbelief: but was strong in faitli, gi\'ing 
glory to God. 

21 And being fully persuaded, that What he 
had promised, he was *^able also to perform. 

^ 22 And therefore it was imputed to him for 
righteousKCss. 

23 Now, it was 'not Amtten for his s^e alone, 
that it was imputed to him ;

fied w ith Ji'im, tliat tlie body of sin might l^e des- 
troyed, that henceforth \vc should not serve sin. 

7 For he that is dead is t frt-xxl from sin. 

8 Now, if we be dead with Christ, we believe 
that we shall also « live with him : 

9 Knowing that Christ, being raised from the 
dead, dieth no more ; death kith no more domi- 
nion over him. 

10 For in that he died, he died unto sin once; 
but in that he liveth, he liveth *" unto God. 

1 1 Likew ise reckon ye also yourselves to be 
'dead indeed unto sin, but ali\e unto ""God, 
tlirough Je-sus Christ our Lord. 

12 Let not sin, therefore, reign in your mor- 
tal Ixxly, that yc sh')uld obey it in the lusts 
thereof; 

13 Neither yield ye your members as f in- 
stalments of unrighteousness imto sin ; but yield 
yourselves unto God, as those that arc ali\ e from 
the dead, and your members as instruments of 
righteousness unto God. 

14 For sin shall p.ot have 'dominion o\ct 
you: for yc are not under the law, but under 
grace.

not under the law, but under grace ? God forbid.

1 8 Therefore, as || by the oft'ence of one, judg- 
ment came upon all men to condemnation; 
even so || by the righteousness of one, the free 
gift came upon Pall men unto justification of 
lile. 

19 For as by one man's disolx?dicnee, many- 
were made sinners; so, by the obedience of one, 
skill many Ix- made righteous. 

20 Moreover, the la^v entered, that the "^ of- 
fence rnight abound ; but where sin abounded, 
grace did much "■ more abound ; 

21 That as sin hath reigned unto death, even 
so might grace reign through lighteousness unto 
eternal life, by Jesus Christ our Lord.

dead unto it. 14 The dispensation of grace 

frceth us from the dominion of sin, but ive are 

fStill the servants of sin, if ive obey it, ^c. 

WHAT shiJl we say then ? Shall we * con- 
tinue in sin, that grace may abound?

sin, live any longer therein ? 

3 Know ye not, that'' so many of ns as H ^vcre

CHAP. VII. 

I No law hath poiver over a person longer than 
he liveth; 4 we, therefore^ being become dead to 
the law by the body of Christ, are left free to 
place ourselves under a happier dispensation. 12

2 For '' the woman w hich hath an husband is \l*^^ 
boimd by the law to her husband so long as he 7.3». '

from the law of her husband. 

3 So then, if while /?«■/• husband Tnedi, she Ix

•^adulteress: but if her husbiuid be dead, she is cManiu 
free from that law ; so that she is no adulteress,

I died. 

10 4Jid the commandment •vvhich was ^ or- 
dained \q life, I fomid to bevinXa death. 

1 1 For sin, taking occasicni by the command- 
ment, deceived me, and by it slew me. 

12 Wherefore the law is holy, and the com- 
mandment holy, and just, and good. 

13 Was then that \\'hich is "' good made death 
unto me ? God forbid. But sin, that it might ap- 
pear sin, ^^■orking death in me by that which is 
good ; that sin by the commandment might be- 
come exceeding sinful. 

14 For we know that the law is spiritual : but 
I am carnal, "sold under sin. 

15 For that wliich I do, I fallow not: for 
\\-hat I would, that do I not; t)ut what I hate, 
tiiat do I. 

16 If then I do that which I would not, I con- 
sent unto the law that it is good. 

17 Now then, it is no more I tliat do it, but 
sin that dwelleth in me. 

18 For I know, tliat in °me, (that is, in my 
flesh) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is pre- 
sent with me ; but hovo to perform that Avhich is 
good, I find not. 

19 pFor the good that I would, I do not : but 
the e^■il which I would not, that I do. 

20 Now, if I do that I would not, it is no 
more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 

21 I find then a law, that when I would do 
good, CA n is present Avith me. 

22 For I delight lin the law of God, after 
the ''inward man: 

23 But I see another law in my members, 
* warring against the la^^' of my mind, and bring- 
ing me into captivity to -the law of sin, wliich 
is in my members. 

24 O wretched man that I am ! who shall de- 
li^er me from || the body of this death ? 

25 *I thank God through Jesus Clvist our 
Lord. So then, a\ ith the mind I myself serve the 
kuv of God ; but with the flesh the law of sin.

Now, if any man have not the "^Spirit of Christ, dGai.*6. 
he is none of his. _ ipet.i.u. 

10 And if Christ be in j'ou, the body is dead 
l^ecause of sin : but the Spitit is life because of

11 But if tlie Spirit of him that raised up Je- 
sus fi-om tlie dead, dwell in you, he that raised 
up Christ fi-om the dead, shall also quicken your 
mortal bodies || by his Spirit that dwelletJi in

12 Therefore, brethren, w^e are debtors, 'not

13 For if ye li\'e after ^the flesh, j'e shall die : / verse e. 
but if ye, through the Spirit, do mortify the deeds ^*'- ^- ^•

14 For as many as are led by the Spirit of

32 Wherefore ? Because they sought it not by 
faith, but as it were by the works of the laAV : for 
they stumbled at that stumbling-stone ; 

33 As it is wTitten, 'Behold, I lay in Sion a 
stumbling-stone, and rock of offence : and who- 
soever beiieveth on him shall not be || ashamed. 

CHAP. X. 
1 The apostle'' s prayer for Israel ixiho ivere misled 
by blind zeal. 4 The difference between justifi- 
cation by the la%v, and by faith, explained from 
scripture. 11 That all who bclieiie, both Jew 
and Gentile, shall be saved. 14 The necessity of 
preaching to the Gentiles inferred. 19 God''s 
acceptance of them hiovon before to the Je'ws, 
21 as also their own refusal of offered mercy. 

BRETHREN, my heait's^* desire and pray- 
er to God for Israel is, that they might be 
saved. 

2 For I bear them record, ^ that they have a 
zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. 

3 For they, being ignorant of God's righteous- 
ness, and going about to establish their ' cs\\w 
righteousness, have not submitted themselves 
unto the '^ righteousness of God, 

4 For Christ is the "^end of the law for righte- 
ousness to everj"" one that beiieveth. _ 

5 For Moses describeth the righteousness 
which is of the laA\', ^ That the man \vhich doeth 
those things shall live by them. 

6 But the righteousness which is of faith 
speaketh on this wise, ^ Say not in thine heart. 
Who shall ascend into heaven ? (that is, to bring 
Christ djswvifrom above ; J 

7 Or, Who shall descend into die deep ? (that 
is, to bring up Clu'ist again from the dead:) 

8 But what saith it ? ^ Xhe word is nigh thee, 
even in thy mouth, and in thy heart ; that is, the 
word of faith, which we preach : 

9 That if thou shalt ^ confess with thy moudi 
the Lord J^sus, and shalt believe ' in thine heart, 
that God hath raised him from the dead, thou 
shalt be saved. 

10 For with the heart man beiieveth unto 
righteousness, and widi the mouth confession is 
made unto salvation. 

1 1 For the scripture saith, ^ Whosoever beiiev- 
eth on him shall not be ashamed. 



Believers shall be sanjed. 965

12 For there is 
Jew and the Greek : for the same Lord over all 
is rich unto all that call upon him.' ^^ 

13 "" For whosoever shall call upon the name 3.22, ' 
of the Lord shall be saved. 

14 How then shall they call on him in whom 
they have not believed ? and how shall they be- 
lieve in him of whom they have not heard ? and 
how shall they hear " without a preacher ? 

15 And how shall they preach except they be 

sent ? as it is written, ° How beautiful are the feet ^Xlm' ^' 
of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring i-w- 
glad tidings of good things ! 

16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel: 

for Esaias saith, p Lord, who liath believed f our J^^j^f jj- 
II report? tor. 

17 So then, faith cometh by hearing, and hear- [fjlf'''^ 
ing by the word of God. 11 or, 

18 -Put I say. Have they not heard .^ Yes, ve- '"'""''"'^^ 
rily, 1 their sound went mto all the earth, and '^^'■^'•* 
their words unto the ends of the world. 

,, 19 But I say. Did not Israel know? First, 
Moses saith, ^ I will provoke you to jealousy by ^^'I'jf- 
them that are no people, and by a foolish nation 
I will anger you. 

20 But Esaias is very bold, and saith, ^I was e isa. 65.1. 
found of them that sought me not ; I was made 
manifest unto them that asked not after me. 

21 But to Israel he saith, * All day long I have « 139.65.8. 
stretched forth my hands unto a disobedient and 
gainsaying people. 

CHAP. XL 
1 God hath not so far cast off all Israel, but that a 
remnant shall be saved by grace. 7 Thejudicial 
blindness of the rest prophesied of. 17 The Gen 
tiles cautioned not to insult the Jews, but to make 
a proper use of^ God's dealings. 26 The Jews 
7nay, andshatl in time believe, and be saved. 

ISA Y then, Hath God ^ cast away his people ? a i sam. 
God forbid. For I also am an '^ Israelite, of jerfsi. 37. 
the seed of Abraham, o/die tiibe of Benjamin. *> '^^- ^■^• 

2 God hath not cast away his people \^4lich he 

= forekncAv. Wot ye not what the scripture saith \ ^^^"s- 
of Elias ? how he maketh intercession to God 
against Israel, saying, 

3 "^Lord, they have killed thy prophets, and ^^^ J^^^s^ 
digged down thine altars ; and I am left alone, 

and they seek my life ? 

4 But what saith the ansAver of God unto him ? 

^ I have reserved to myself seven thousand men, « 1 Kings 
who have not bowed the knee to the image of ^'^'^^' 
Baal. 

5 Even so then, at this present time also, there 
is a ^remnant according to the election of gi-ace. 

6 And if by grace, then is it ^no more 
works : others vise grace is no morfe grace. But 
if/V be of works, then is it no more grace : other- 
wise work is no more work. 

7 What then? Israel hadi not obtained that 
which he seeketh for ; but the election hath ob- 
tained it, and the rest were || blinded, l^demd. 

8 (According as it is written, ^ God hath given ^ isa. 29.10. 
them the siiirit of || slumber, ' eyes that they l^none. 
should nc* see, and ears tliat tiiey should not hear) i isa. e. ".

966 The caWing of the Gentiles. 

9 And David saith, "^ Let tht-ir Uilile Ix? made 
a snare, and a trap, and a stumbling-block, and 
a recompcncf unto them : " 

10 'Let their ejes l)c darkened, that they 
may not see, :uk1 bow down their back al\\-ay. 

Ill sa\' then, Ha\e they stumbled, tliat they 
should fall ? God forbid : but rather through 
their fall *" salvation is come unto the Gentiles, for 
to provoke them to jealous}', 

12 Now, if the tall of them be the riches of 
the world, and the || diminishing of them, the 
riches of die Gentiles, how Hiuch more their 
" flilncss .' 

13 For I speak to you, Gentiles; inasmuch 
as I am the apostle ° of the Gentiles, I magnify 
mine office ; 

14 If by any means I may provoke to emula- 
tion them which are my flesh, and might s;ne 
some of them. 

15 For if the casting away of tliem he the re- 
conciling of the \vorld, what shall the recei\ing 
of them be., but life from die dead? 

16 For if the •" first-fruit be holy, the lump is 
also Iwly : and if the root be hoi}', so ar.' die 
bninches. 

17 And if some of the branches be broken off, 
;uk1 tliou, being a wild oli\e-trce, wert giaffed 
in ft among them, iind with them partxikest of 
the root and fatness of the olive-tree ; 

18 ''Boast not against the bnuiches: but if 
thou boast, thou bearest not the root, but the 
root thee, 

19 Thou wilt s;iy then. The branches were 
broken oft", diat I might be graffed in. 

20 A\'ell ; because of inibelicf diey -we're bro- 
ken oft", and thou standcst by iaidi. 13c not high- 
minded, '' but fear : 

21 For if God spared not the natural branch- 
es, take heed lest he also spare not thee. 

22 BehoW, therefore, the goodness and severi- 
ty of God: on them which fell, severitj-; but 
to^va^d thec^. goodness, if diou 'continue in his 
goodness : other\\ise thou also shalt be cut off. 

23 And they also, * if they abide not still in un- 
belief, shall be graflcd in : for God is able to 
gr.ift'them in again. 

24 For, if thou wert cut out of the oli\ c-tree 
whicii is w ild by nature, and wert grafted con- 
trar>' to nature, into a goofl olive-tree ; ho\i 
much more shall these, which be the natural 
branches, Ix; grafted into dieir owii olive-tree .'' 

25 For I would not, brediren, that ye should 
be igrw>rant of this mystcr}-, (lest ye should be 
"wise in your own conceits,) that it blindness in 
p.irt is liappened to Israel, until the fulness of die 
Gentiles Ix- come in. 

26 And so all Israel shall be saved ; as it is 
written, * 'ITTere slnJl come out of Sion die 
IX-liverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from 
Jacob. 

27 For diis is ' my co\ enant unto them, when 
I shall tJike away tlieir sins.

31 Even so have these also now not Ij belier- tor,* 
ed, that thi'ough your mercy they also may ob- ''^"^' 
tain mercy. 

32 For God hadi (} concluded them all in un- ]^^,fl

33 O the depth of die riches, both of die w is- 
dom and kno\\ledge of God ! how unsearchable 
are his judgments, and his ways piist finding 
out ! 

34 ''For who hath known the mind of the »ua.4o.ii.

2>5 Or who liadi first gi\en to him, and it shall 
be recompensed unto him again ? 

36 For of ''him, and through him, and to bi,^«-«-

. CHAP. XII. 

I The apostle exhorteth to holiness, and to think 
soberly of gifts. A Being members of one body 
in Christ, 6 our gifts should be for the common 
benefit. 9 Lo'oc, and other practical duties re- 
commended. 19 Revenge is specially forbidden, 
and good for evil enjoined. 

I "Beseech you, therefore, brethren, by the ^j^^' 
mercies of God, diat ye ''present your bodies i.PH.io.u. 
a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, "''^'■^'• 
which is your reasonable ser\ ice. 

2 And be not conformed to this w orld : but 
be 'ye transformed by the renewing of your cEpK^.a* 
mind, that ye may ''i)roAe what is tliat good, and «iEph>»-i7- 
acceptable, and perfect w ill of God. 

3 For 1 saj-, through the = grace gi\eii unto ^^j^PjI-'- 
me, to every man that is among \ou, not to 
tliink of himself more highly tliiui he ought to 
tliink ; but to think t soberly, according as fj^-^j^ 
God hadi dealt ^to evciy miui die measure offEph.i.7. 
faith. 

4 For ^'iis we have many members in one bo- ^^a.'' 
d\', Mid all members lla^ e not the same office ; 

* 5 So we, being mmy, are ^ one bodj- in Chi'ist, \j^.^ix?i. 
and e\er\' one members one of ;inother. 

6 ' Having then gifts differing according to the ',o,n!*' 
grace that is gi\en to us, whether ''prophecy, kicor. 
let us prophesy aceording to the proportion ol '*•" 

7 Or ministry', let us wai{ on our ministering ;

LET e^■erJ' soul ^ be subject unto the higher 
powers. For '' there is no po^^'er but of God ; 
the po^A'crs tliat be, are || ordained of God. 

2 Who-soever, therefore, resisteth the power, 
resisteth the ordinance of God ; and they that 
resistj^ shall receiAC to themsehes damnation : 

3 For rulers are not a terror to good ^i-orks, 
but to the evil. AMlt thou then not be afraid of 
the poAver? do fnat which is good, and tliou shalt 
have '^ prai.se of the same : 

4 For he is the minister of God to thee for 
good. But if thou do that which is evil, be 
aficiid ; for he beareth not the sAvord in vain : for 
he is die minister of God, a re^'cnger to execute 
wrath upon him that doeth e\-il. 

5 Wlierefere ye must needs be subject, not 
only for \\Tatl-., but also for ^conscience sake. 

6 For, fori this cause pay ye tiibute also: for 
they are Gcd's ministers, attending continually 
upon this vcrj' thing. 

7 Render, therefore, *to all their dues: tri- 
bute to A\"hom tribute is due ; custom to whom 
custom; fear to whom fear; honour to whom 
honour. 

8 Owe no man any thing, but to love one ano-

9 For this, « Thou shalt not commit adulter^'. 
Thou shdt not kill,. Thou shalt not steal. Thou 
shalt not bear false witness, Thou shalt not co-

is briefly comprehended in this saying, namely, 
** Tlipu shalt love thy neighbour as thjself.

therefore, love is the fulfilling of the law.

WE then that are strong ought to lx;ar the in-

2 Let every one of us please his •" neighbour 
for /lis good, to edification. 

3 For e\en Christ pleased not himself; but 
as it is written, = The reproaches of them that re- 
proached thee, fell on me. 

4 For whatsoever things were ^ w ritten afore-

of the 8 circumcision for the truth of God, to 
confirm the promises made unto the fathers; 

9 And tkit die Gentiles might glorify God for 
his mercy; as it is written, '' For this cause I

more boldly inito j'ou in some sort, as putting 
you in mind, because of die ° grace that is gi^ en 
to me of God, 

16 Tliat I should be the minister of Jesus 
Clirist to the Gentiles, mini.stering the gospel of 
God, that the || oftering-up of die Gentiles 
might be acceptable, being sanctified by the 
Holy Ghost. 

17 I hxxe, therefore, a\ hereof I may glory 
through Jesus Christ in those diings \\ hich pei- 
tiiin to God. 

18 For I will not dare to speak of any of those 
things which Christ hath not ^\Tought by me, to 
make the Gentiles obedient, by -word imd deed, 

19 Through mighty ? signs and wonders, by 
the pow er of the Spirit of God ; so that from Je- 
rusalem, and round about unto lUyricuni, I 
lia\e fully preached the gospel of Clirist. 

20 Yea, so lia\e I stri\'ed to preach the gospel, 
not where Christ was named, ""lest I should build 
upon anotliei' man's foundation : 

21 But, as it is written, 'To whom he was 
not spoken of, diey shall see: and they that 
ha\e not heard, shall understand. 

22 For which cause also, 1 have been || much 
hindered from coming to you. 

23 But now, Inning no more place in the.-e 
pai-ts, and lia\ ing a ' gi'cat desire these miuij- 
jeai\s to come unto you ; 

24 \\^hensoc\er I tiike my journey into Spain, 

I will come to you : for I trust to see >ou in my 
jouniey, and to be brought on my w a\- thkher- 
\\ ard b}' you, if first I be somew hat filled f with 
your company. 

25 But now I go unto Jerusalem to ' minister 
unto the siiints. 

26 For it k\di pleased them of Macedonia 
and Achaia, to make a " certain contribution lor 
the poor saints, which are at Jcrus;ilem. 

27 Ithadi pleased them verily, and their debtors 
they are. Foi- * if the Gentiles \ra\e been made 
{xirtakers of dieir spiritual diings, ^ their dutj- 
is also to minister unto them in ciinial things. 

28 When therefoie I ha\e perlormcd this, 
and ha\e sealed to diem this ' fruit, I w ill come 
by you into Spain. 

29 And I am sure, that when I come unto 
you, I shall come in die fulness of the =* blessing 
of the gospel of Christ. 

30 Now I l^seech you, bretliren, for the 
Lord Jesus Christ's siike, and for the love of the 
Spirit,' that ye * stri\ e together with me in ijour 
prayers to God for me ; 

31 That I may be delivered fiom them that 

II do not believe in Judca; and that my .service

8 Who sh:ill uIjjo coiifiiTn you unto the end, 
f/iat ye may be blameles-s in tfie clay of our Lord 
Jesus Clux-t. 

9 8 Gd \s fiuthful, by ^a horn je were ciilled 
unto the fellowship of his son Jesus Cliiist our 
Lord. 

10 Now I Ix-seech you, brethren, by the name 
of our Lord Jesus CInist, tliiit yc all speak tlie 
same tiling, and that there be no t di\'isions among 
\ ou : but that ye Ik- perfeetly joined together in 
the siime mind, and in the same judgment, 

11 For it hath Ixen declared unto me of you, 
my brethren, by them ivhich are of the house of 
Chloe, tluit there are contentions among you. 

12 Now tliis I siiy, that eAer>' one of you saith, 
I am of Paul, and I of '' Apollos, and I of Ccplias, 
and I of Christ. 

13 Is Cliribt divided .' w^as Paul crucified for 
you ? or ^\ ere ye baptized in thc' nmrie of Paul ? 

14 1 thank God that I baptized none of you, 
but ' Crispus imd ^ Gains ; 

15 Lest any should sa}-, that I had baptized in 
miiie o\m nam.e. 

IG And I baptized also the household of Ste- 
phanas : Ix'sidcs, I know not Vhctlier I baptized 
any other. 

17 For Clu-ist sent me not to baptize, but to 
preach the gospel : " not \\ ith \\isdom of || words, 
lest the cross of Christ should be made of none 
effect. 

18 For thc preaching of the cross is to them 
that perish, " foolishness ; but unto us Avhich are 
saved, it is the ° j^ow er of God. 

19 For it is \\Titten, p I \\\\\ desti'oy the wisdom 
of the \\ise, and will bring to notliing the under- 
standing of the prudent. 

20 "^ Where is the \\'ise ? where is the scribe .•' 
where is the disputer of this woild ? hath not 
God made foolish the wisdom of this \\orld ? 

21 ■■ For alter that, in the w isdom of God, the 
world In' wisdom knew not God, it pleased God 
by thc foolishness ol" preaching to save them that 
believe. 

22 For ' the Jews require a sign, and the 
Greeks seek alter ^\ isdom ; 

23 But we preach Christ cnicified, unto the 
Jews ' a stumbling-block, and unto tlie Greeks 
fooli.-.luKSS ; 

24 But imto them which are called, l)oth Jews 
and Greeks, Christ the "power of God, and die 
* \\ isdom of God. 

25 Beam.se the foolishness of Go(l is wiser 
than men ; and the weakness of God is stronger 
than men. 

26 I'^or ye see your calling, brethren, how that 
not many ^ wise men after thc flesh, not niiiny 
mighty, iiot many nol>le, are called ; 

27 But God hath * cliosen the foolish tilings of 
the world to confound thc w ise : and God liatJi 
chosen the weak tilings of the world to confound 
the thii.gs which are might\' ; 

28 And base things of the world, and things 
which are dcsj/ised, hath God cho^,en, ijea^-M\i\ 
things ' w hich ;ue not, to bring to nought tlvings 
that are : 

2 



29 That no flesh should '' glor>' in his pre- 
sence. 

30 But of him are ye in Clirist Jesus, wl:o of 
God is made unto us wisdom, and righteousness, 
and sanctifiaition, and redemption : 

31 That, according as it is written, " He tliat 
gloricth, let him g!or\- in the Lord. 

CfiAP. IL 
1 Paul dcdareth that his preachin;^, though it 
bring not excellency of speech^ or of 4 human 
loisdom ; yet consisteth in 4, 5 thc power of God; 
and so far excelleth 6 the ivisdom of this ivorld, 
and 9 human sense, as that 14 the natural m.an 
cannot understand it. 

AND I, brethren, when I came to you, * came 
not with excellency of speech, or of wisdom, 
dechiring unto you thc ^ testimony of God. 

2 For I determined not to know any diing 
among you, "^ save Jesus Christ, and him cru- 
cified. 

3 And I was ^vith you in ^ weakness, and in 
fear, and in much trembling. 

4 And my speecli, and my preacliing, ' ivas 
not with il enticing words of nuui's wi.^dom, but 
in *^ demonstration of tlic Spirit, and of power : 

5 That j'our faith should not stand in die wis- 
dom of men, but in the power of God. 

6 Ho\\beit, we speak wisdom among them 
that iu'c ^ perfect ; yet not the wisdom of this 
world, nor of the princes of Uiis world, that come 
to nought : 

7 But we speak tlie wisdom of God in a mys- 
tery, even the hidden wisdom, w hidi Gfxl ordain- 
ed Ix^fore the \\orld, unto our glorj- ; 

8 Which none of the piinces of this world 
'^ knew : for had they known it, they would not 
have crucified die Lord of gloiy. 

9 But as it is written, ' Eye hath not seen, nor 
ear hciird, neither have entered into the heart of 
miui, the things w'hicli God hath prepiu-ed foi- 
tliem that lo\e liini. 

10 But God hath revealed thetn unto ^ us by 
his Spirit : for thc Spirit sciircheth all tliuigs, yea, 
die deep things of God. 

11 For Avhat man knoweth the things of a man, 
save die ' spirit of man which is in him .' CAen so, 
die things of God "" knoweth no man, but tlie 
Spirit of God. 

12 Now^ we ha^c recei\ed, not the .spirit of the 
world, but the Spirit which is of God ; diiit we 
might know the tlihigs that are fieely gi\en to us 
of God. 

13 Which things also wc sj^eak, " not ui the 
\\on\s Avhich man's w isdom te;icheth, Init w hich 
the Hol>- Cihost teacheth ; conipiuing spiritual 
things w ith spiritual. 

14 But die natunJ man receiveth not thc things 
of the Spirit of God ; for diey-<ire foolishness un- 
to him ; ° neidier can he know them, becmse 
llicy iire spiritually discerned. 

1.') f But he that is spiritual || judyeth all things, 
yet he himself is || judged of no man. 

10 ^ For who hatJi know n thc mind of the Lord, 
th.it he t may iiistnict hiin .' but we ha%e die 
mind of Clirist.

Milk is fit for children. 3 Strife and division are 
arguments of a fleshly 7nind. ~i He that plantetli

ND I, brethren, could not speak unto you 
as unto spiritual, but as unto cainaJ, e\)en as 
" unto babes in Christ. 

2 I have fed j'ou with "" milk, and not with

3 For ye are yet carnal : for whereas_ there is

10 According to the ^ grace of God which is 
given unto me, as a wise master-builder I have 
laid ' the foundation, and another buildeth there- 
on. But let eveiy man take heed how he buildeth 
thereupon : 

1 1 For other foundation can no man lay than 
mfea.a3.i6. that is bid, "" which is Jesus. Clirist. 

12 Now, if any man build upon this founda- 
tion, gold, silver, precious stones, v/ood, hay, 
stubble ; 

13 E\'ei y man's Avork shall be made " manifest: 
for the day shall declare it, because it f shall be 
revealed by fire : and the fire shall try every 
man's A\ork, of what sort it is. 

14 If any man's work abide, which he hath 
built thereupon, ° he shall receive a reward. 

15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall 
! suffer loss : but he himself shall he saved ; yet 

p jude 23. so as ^ by fire.

',., 17 If any man || defile the temple of God, him 

shall God destroy : for the temple of God is ho- 
ly, which temple ye ai'e. 

18 Let no nicJi deceive hiniself. If any man 
among you "■ seemeth to be.w ise in this world, 
let him beccm.e a fool, that he may be wise. 

19 For the wiodom of this A\orld is foolish-

21 Therefore let no man glorj- in men : " for 
all things ai-e yours ; 

22 Whether Paul, or Apollos, or Cephas, or 
the world, or life, or death, or things present, or 
things to come : all aie yours ; 

23 And ye ^ are Chi-ist's ; and ^ Christ is 
God's. 

CHAP. IV. 
1 In ivhat account the ministers ought to be had. 
7 TFe have nothing which we have not received. 
9 The apostles, spectacles to the world, angels, 
and men, 13 the filth and off -scouring of the 
world ; 15 yet our fathers in Christ, 16 wJwm 
%ve ought to follow. 

LET a man so account of us as of the * minis- 
ters of Clii ist, and '' stewaids of the myste- 
ries of God. 

2 Moreover,' it is requb'ed in stewards, that a 
man be found faithful. 

3 But with me it is a veiy small thing that I 
should be judged of you, or of man's f Judg- 
ment ; j'ea, I judge not mine o-\\n self : 

4 For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not 
hereby justified : but he that judgeth me is the 
Lord. 

5 *= Therefore judge noting before the time, un- 
til the Lord come, Avho botli will bring to light 
the hidden things of darkness, and will make 
manifest the ^ counsels of the hearts ; and then 
sliall e"very man have praise of God. 

6 And these things, brethi-en, " I have in a 
figure transfen-ed to myself, and to Apollos, for 
your sakes ; that ye might learn in us not to 
think of men above that Avhich is v>Titten, that no 
gne of you be puffed up for one against another. 

7 For who t maketh thee to differ from a?io- 
therP and ^ what hast thou that thou didst not 
recei\^e ? now, if thou didst receive it, ^vhy dost 
thou glory as if thou hadst not recei\ed it ? 

8 Now ye are full, now ye ai-e rich, ye have 
reigned as kings without us ; and I would to 
God ye did reign, that we also might reign with 
you. 

9 For I tliink tliat God hath set forth us die 
apostles last, as it were ^ appointed to deadi : for 
we arc made a f spectacle unto the world, and to 
angels, and to m.en. 

10 We aty ^ fools for Christ's sake, but ye are 
wise in Christ : we are ' weak, but ye are strong ; 
ye are- honourable, but we are despised. 

11 Even unto this present hour we both hun- 
ger and thirst, and are. nalccd, and are buffeted, 
and have no certain dwelling-place ; 

12 ^ And labour, working with our own 
hands : being reviled, ^ve bless ; being persecut-

CHAP. V. • 
1 The incestuous person 6 is cause rather of shame

tion among you, and such tbmication as is 
not so much as * naiued among tlx; Gentiles, 
that one should have his ' father's A\ifc.

FHIANS. Of going to laiv. 

CHAP. VI. 

The Corintliians must not vex their brethren, in 
going to hnv voit/i t/iem : especially wider infi- 
dels. 9 The imrighteous shall not inherit the 
kingdom of God. 15 Our bodies are the mem- 
bers of Christ, \9 and temples of the Holy Ghost: 
16, 17 t/iey mtist not therefore be defiled. 

DARE any oi' you, having a mutter against 
another, go to law before the ^ unjust, and J^^ 
not before the saints .'' 

2 Do ve not know- that the ^ saints shall judge bDan.-.22. 
the vsorld .' and if the vvorld shall be judged by ^"^^-^ 
JOU, are ye imworthy to judge the smallest mat- - 

ters .' 

3 Kno\v' ye not, that we shall judge ang^-n 

how much more, things that pertiiin to this „!» 
life ? 

4_ If then ye have judgments of things per- 
taining to this life, set them to judge, who are 
least esteemed in the church. 

5 I speak to yotir sliame. Is it so, tliat there 
is not a a\ ise man among you .' no, not one that 
shall be able to judge between his brethren r 

6 But " brother goeth to hnv with brother, '^e-.i. 
and that before the unbelie\ ers. 

7 No\\', therefore, theie is utterly a fault a- 
mong you, because ye go to law one A\ith ano- 
ther : ^ \\\\\ do je not rather take wrong r why dMattk. 

do ve not rather suffer yourselves to be defi-aud- Luki «. 29. 
,^-1 ? .« ./ R01n.12.iR. 

8 Naj-, ye do A\Tong, and defraud, and tliat 

*" your bretliren. * IV^'"" 

9 Know ye not, that the unrighteous shall not 
inherit the kingdom of God ? Be not deceixed : 
neither fornicatoi^s, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, 
nor efieminute, nor abusers of themselves w ith 
mankind, 

10 Nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunk:uds, 

nor reviiers, nor extortioners, shall inherit tiit Gai.j.« 
kingdom of God. 

11 And such were ^ some of jou : but ye iux" gTit.3. ». 
washed, butjc are sanctified, but ye are justified, 

in the name of the Lord Jesus, and by the Spu'it 
of our God. 

12 •• All things are lawful unto me, but all haw^ 
things are not || expedient : all things are hn\- j^"' 
ful for me, but I will not be brought under the P'^fitabu 
power of any. 

13 Meats for tlie belly, and the belly for meats : 
but God shall destroy both it and them. Now, 

the Ixxly is not for fomic.ition, but lor ' the Lord; JJ^"- 
'' and the Lord for the l.-odx'. ktpKj.aa. 

14 And God hath both raised up the Lo:d, 
and will also raise up us by his oAvn jKiwer. 

15 Know \e not, that voiir Ixxlies arc the 

' members of Christ ? shall 1 then taJce the mem- itj*.*. .'0.

an harlot ? God l()rbid. 

16 What! know ye not, that he wiileh is join- 
ed to an h a-lot, is one body ? for "' two (saith he) j^c*"- 
shall be one ffesh. m^/''- 

17 But he that is joined unto the Lord, is "one t,.i;e,.5ji.

IS Flee fornication. E\cry sin that a man 
doeth, is without die body ; but he that com- 

iniueth

Of marriage, incontinency , 
niitteth fornication, sinneth 
body. 

19 What ! P knoAv ye not, that your body is 
the temple of the Holy Ghost ■which is in 3^011, 
\\hich ye have of God, and ye are "^ not your 
own ? 

20 For "■ ye are bought \\\\h a price : therg^fore 
glorify God in jour body, and in your spirit, 
which are God"'s. 

CHAP. vn. 

2 He treateth of marriage, 4 shewing it to be a 
remedy against fornication ; 10 and that the 
bond thereof ought not lightly to be dissolved. 
18, 20 Every man must be content with his vo- 
cation. 25 Virginity wherefore to be embraced. 
2)S And for what respects we may either marry 
or abstain from marrying. 

NOW concerning the things whereof ye wrote 
.unto me : =" It is good for a man not to 
touch a woman. 

2 Nevertheless, to avoid fonilcation, let every 
man have his o^xvi wiio., and let every A\-oman 
hsLYC her o^\ n husband. 

3 '' Let tlie husband render unto the wife due 
benevolence; and iike\\"ise also the v.'ile unto 
the husband. 

• 4 The wife hath not ]5o^ver of her o^ni body, 
but the husband; and iike\\'ise also the husband 
hath not power of his own. body, but the Avife. 

5 Defraud ye not one the other, " except it be 
with consent for a time, that ye may gi\e your- 
selves to ^ fasting and prayer ; and come together 
again, || that Satan tempt you not for j-our incon- 
tinency. 

6 But I speak this by permission, and not of 
^ commandment. 

7 For I would that all nien were even as I my- 
self; but every man hath his *^ proper gift of 
God, one after tliis mianner, and another after 
that. 

8 I say, therefore, to the unmarried and wi- 
dows, It is good for tliem if ihey abide even as I. 

9 But if they cannot contain, ^ let them mar- 
ry : for it is better to marr,% xhzxi to bum. 

10 And unto the inai-ried I command, yet not 
I, but the Lord, ^ Let not the ^vife depart from 
lier husband : 

11 But and if she depait, let her remain un- 
man ied, or be reconciled to her husband; and 
let not the husband put a'way /lis \\'ite. 

12 But to the rest speak I, 'not the Lord; 
If any brother hath a wriic that believeth not, and 
she be pleased to dwell with him, let Iiim not 
put her awaj', 

13 x\nd tlie -^voman which hath an husband 
that IjelicAeth not, and if he be pleased to dwell 
\vith her, let her not lea-ve liim. 

14 For the unbeiie\ing husbar.d is lanctified 
by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sancti- 
fied by the husband; else \vere your children un- 
clean ; but ^ now are they holy. 

15 But if the unbelieving depart, let him de- 
part. A brodier or a sister is not under bon- 
dage in such cases; but God hath called us r to 
peace.

O w\k, whether j,^^^,

thou, O man, Avhetherthou shalt save thy v%ife? i7^^^ 

17 But as Go.d hath distributed to eveiy man, 
as the Lord hath called every one, so let him 
walk : and so " ordain I in all churches. _ Ti?.'^''' 

18 Is any man called, being circumcised? let 2Jcoj- 
him not become uncircumcised ; is any called 

in uncircumcision ? let him not become cir- 
cumcised. 

19 Circumcision is nothing, and uncircumci- 
sion is nothing, but the " keeping of the com- 
mandments of God. 

20 Let every man abide in the same calling 
wherein he was called. 

21 Art thou called, being a sen-an': ? care not 
for it : but if thou mayest be made free, use it 
rather. 

22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a 
servant, is the Lord's f freeman : likewise also t^j- 
he that is called, being free, is Clirist's servant. ^4J"' 

23 ° Ye are bought with a price ; be not ye '° " 
the servants of men. 

24 Brethren, let every man wherein he is call- 
ed, therein ^ abide ^\"ith God. p ver. 20. 

25 Now, concerning \'ii-gins, ^ I ha^e no j v^^^r. e, 
commandment of the Lord : yet I give my judg- 
ment, as one that hath "" obtained mercy of the 5.\^""- 
Lord to be ^ faithful. s chap. 

26 I suppose, therefore, that this is good for *' *' 
the present |i distress; I say, that it is good for a Bo^'. 
man so to be. 

27 Art thou bound unto a M'ife ? seek not to 
be loosed. Art thou loosed from a wife? seek 
not a wife. 

28 But and if thou many, thou hast not sin- 
ned ; and if a virgin many, she hath not sin- 
ned: nevertheless, such shiJl have trouble in 
the flesh; but I spaie you. 

29 But this I say, brethren, * The time is \f°^ 
short. It remaineth, that both they that hxxe 1 Pet. *. 7. 
wives, be as though they had none; tsTio.' 

30 And they that weep, as though they wept 
not; and thej' that rejoice, as though they re- 
joiced not; and they that buy, as though they 
possessed not ; 

31 And they that use tliis world, as not abu- 
sing it: for "the fashion of this -world passeth"J^e» 
awaj'. i"john 

32 But I would have you without carefijiness. ^' "" 
He that is unmarried, cai-eth for the things that 
belong to the Lord, how he may ''please the 
Lord ; 

33 But he that is manled, careth for the things 
that ai-e of the world, ho\\' he may please /lis wife. 

34 There is difference also between a wite 
and a virgin. The unmarried womim careth for 
the tilings of the Lord, that she may be holy, 
both in body and in spirit : but she that is mar-, 
ried, careth for the things of the world, how she- 
may please her husband. 

35 And tills I speak for your own profit;, 
not that I may cast a snare upon you, but for that 
which is comely, and that ye may attend upon y Luke w. 
die Lord ^ without distraction, ""' "'*^-

CHAP. VIII. 
1 The preference of charity to knowledge. 4 An 
'idol is nothing, where there are right notions of 
God ; 7 but It is an indiscreet use of our know-^ 
ledge, ivhen ive cause to offend. 

N'0\\', ^as touching things offered unto 
idols, we know that ^vc iJl ha\e knowledge. 
'' Know ledge pufielh up, but charitj- edifieth. 

2 i\nd if any man think that he know eth any 
thing, he knoweth nothing yet as he ought to 
know. 

3 But if any w\zx\ lo\e God, the same •= is 
known of him. 

4 As conceniing therefore the eating of those 
tilings tliat lue oft'ered in sacrifice unto idols, 
we know that ^ cx\ idol is nothing in tlie w orJd, 
and that there is none otlier God but one. 

5 For though there be that are ' called gods, 
whether in hea\'en or in eiuth ; (as there be gods 
nuin\', and lords mariy ;) 

6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, 
^of whom are alk things, and we || in him; and 
one Lord Jesus Clirist, by whom are all things, 
and A\e by him. 

7 Ho\\beit, there is not in ever\' man that 
knowledge: lor some, ^ with conscience of the 
idol, unto tliis hour eat it as a thing oifered 
unto an idol; and their conscience, being weak, 
** is defiled. 

8 But meat- commendeth us not to God : for 
neidicr, il we eat, || are wc the better; neither, 
if wc e;it not, |1 iire we tlie worse. 

9 But tike heed, leist by any means tliis 
I; lil^erry of yours become a stumbling-block to 
then^ tluit are weak. 

10 For if any man see thee, Jivhieh hast know- 
ledge, sit at meat in the idol's temple, shili not 
the coiibcience of hhn which is weak, be f em- 
boldened to eat tliose tilings which are oflcred to 
idgls ; 

11 .\nd through thy knowledge, shall 'tlie. 
weak biotiier jx-rish, for whom Christ died.'' 

12 But wTitn ye sin .so '' aguinst tlie brttliren, 
and wound their weak conscience, ye sin aguinst 
Christ.

I He sheiveth his liberty, 7 ajid that the minister 
ought to live by the gospel: 15 yet that himself 
hath of his own accord abstained, 18 to be either

9 For it is written in the law of Moses, 
'Thou shalt not muzzle the mouth of the 
that treadeth out the corn

10 Or saith he it altogether for our sakes.' 
For our sakes, no doubt, thus is w rittcn : tliat

11 ** If wc ha^■e sown unto you spiritual things, h Rom.

the law, as imder tlie law, that I might gain tliem 
that are under the law ; 

21 To them that are 'without law, as with- 
out law, (bei]>g not ^\-itllout laAv to God, bu\ 
imder the law to Clii-ist,) that I might gain them 
that are without law. 

22 To the ' weak became I as Aveak, that I 
might gain the weak : I am made all things to all 
772^;/, tiiat I might by all means save some. 

23 And this I do for the gospel's sake, that I 
might be partaker thereof with i/ote._ 

24 Know ye not, that they which "^run in a

run, that ye may obtiun. 

25 And everj- man that striveth for the mas-

it to obtain a corruptible crown ; but Ave an in- 
corrupiible. 

26 I tiiereore so run, not as unceitainly ; so 
fight L not as one that beateth the air : 

27 But I keep '^ under my body, and bring it 
into subjection ; lest that by anj' means, when 
I have preached to others, I myself should be a

18 Behold Israel after the. flesh: ai-e not they 
AA-hich eat of the sacrifices, paitakers of the altar .' 

19 What say I then? that 'die idol is any

21 Ye cannot di'ink the cup of the Lord, and

I He rcprcTiiCth them, bccmise in hohj assemblies 
4 their men prayed wit/i their heads covered , and 
d iViTmen with their heads uncovered: \~ aiid 
because 9-eiieralhi their meetings ivere not for the

2 No^\■ I pnii.se you, brethren, tlut ye ''re- 
member me ui all things, and keep the !l ordi- 
nunees, as I delivered thejn to you. 

3 But 1 \\culd ha\c you know, that =the 
head of eACiy man is Christ ; iind the head of 
the \\ oman is tlie man ; and tlie head of Christ is 
Gfxl. 

4 Even,- man pmyin?: or ^ prophesying, hav- 
ing his head co\ ered, dishonoureth his head. 

5 But evcr>- ' womtui that prayeth or prophe- 
sieth uith her head uncovered, *^dishono'.ireth 
her head : for ihr.t is e\en all one as if she were 
5 shaven. 

6 For if the ^voman be not covered, let her 
also Ix; shorn ; 1 ut if it be a shame for a woman 
to be shorn or shaven, let her l)e covered. 

7 For a man indeed ouglit not to cover his 
head, forasmuch as '' he is the image and glory 
of God: but the woman is the glo:-j- of the man. 

8 For the man is not of the \\om;ui ; but the 
woman of tlie miai. 

9 Neither was the mi-n cieatcd for the wo- 
man } but the ' M oman for the miin. 

10 For this cause ought the voman to have 

II po\^er on her head, because of the angels. 

11 Nevertheless, neither is the man \\ithout 
the \\oman, neither the ^^oman without the man, 
in tlie Lord. 

12 For as the woman is of the man, e\en so is 
the man also by the woman; but ''all things of 
Go<l. 

13 Judge in yoursehes: is it comely that a 
woman pray unto God imco\ered .' 

14 Doth'not even nature itself teach 3'ou, that 
if a m;ui ha\e long hair, it is a shame unto 
him ? 

1 5 But if a woman ha\ c long hair, it is a glorj- 
to her : for her hair is gi\en her for a || cover- 
ing. 

1 G But if any man seem to be ' contentious, 
we have no such custom, neither the "churches 
ofG(xl. 

17 Now, in this that I declare unto you, I 

E raise yon not, tkit ye come together not for the 
etter, but f'lr the worse. 

18 For, first of all, when je come together 
in the church, " I hear that there be || diMsions 
amonjr you ; and 1 partly l)elirve it.* 

19 For there " must be also tl heresies among 
you, 'that they which are approved, may Ik- 
nude manifest among you.

20 When .\e come together, therefore, into D^5[Jt,

itnd .shame || them that ha\ e not ? What shull 1 l'^^-- 
say to }ou ? shall I praise you in this .' 1 praise f?''. 
you not. 

' 23 For I ha\c received of the Lord th:tt which 
iilso I delivered unto you, 'Thxit the Lord Je- iMatth. 
sus, the same night in which he was betr.^yed, Miir^k 
took bread : 

24 And, w^hen he liad given thanks, he brake

ott as ye drink it, in remcmijrance of me. "''^'• 

'26 For as often as \e eat this l^nead, and drink 
this cup, II ye do shew the Lord's death " till he lOr, 

27 \\ herefore, whosoever sh?ll eat this bi^earl, "•^• 
and drink this cup of the Lord * unwortiiiiy, * fj,^'' 
shall Ix? gi lilty of the body and i )Iocd c»f the Lord. 

28 But let a man ^ examine himself, andsoy'Cor 
let hini eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. 

29 For he that eatcth and elrinketh imworthily, 
eatelh and diinkelh || damnation to h.iiascl;', not '„J^,^,

eE hTn ^ -^"^ there are diversities of operations, but 
fEph.1.23. it is the same God wiiich ^vorketh ^all in all. 
Rom. 12. 7 But the ^manifestition of the Spirit is given 
to every m;m to proiit ^\•ithal. 

8 For to one is given by the Spirit, the Mord 
of wisdom ; to another, the word of kno.\iedge 
hy the same Spirit ; 

9 To another, faith by the same Spirit ; to 
another, die gifts of healmg uy the same 
Spirit ; 

10 To anotlier, the working of miracles ; to 
another, prophecy ; to another, discerning of 
spii'its ; to another, diverse kinds of tongues ; to 
another, the intcipretation of tongxies : 

1 1 But all these worketii that one tind the self- 
IT^rr^' same Spirit, '^ di\"idii"ig to everj- miyi se\'erally as 
«/6/7.' ' he will. 

12 For as the body is one, and hath many 
members, and all the members of that one body, 
bemg many, are one body : so also is Clirist. 

13 For by one Spirit are we all baptized into 
one body, whetlier %ve be Jev.s or f Gentiles, 
w-hether tu*? be bond or fi-ee ; and have been all 
made to drink into ' one Spirit. 

14 For the body is not one member, but 
many. 

15 If the foot shall say, Because I am not the 
hand, I am not of the body ; is it therefore not 
of the body? 

16 And if the eai- shall say, Because I am not 
the eye, I am not of the body ; is it therefore not 
of the lx)dy ? 

17 If the whole body nx>ere an eye, where luere 
the hearing ? if the whole 'i\)ere heai-ing, where 
\\:ere the smelling ? 

18 But now hath ^ God set the members e^e- 
ry one of them m die body, as it hath ^ pleased 
him. 

19 And if they were all one member, where 
'•^ere the body ? 

20 But now are theij many members, j'et but 
one body. • 

21 And the ™eye cannot say unto the hand, 

I have no need of thee ; nor again, the head to 
the feet, I have no need of you. 

22 Nay, much more those members of the 
body, which seem to be more feeble, ai-e ne- 
cessaiy. 

23 And those viembers of die body, which 
we think to be less honourable, upon these we 

II bestow more abundant honour ; and our lui- 
comely parts ha\e more abundaiit comeli- 
ness. 

24 For our com.ely parts ha\e no need : but 
zA^\\Tv^' God hath " tempered the body together, ha\'mg 

gi\cn more abimdant honour to diat part which 
lacked: . 

25 That there should be no || schism in the 
body: !)ut that the members should have the 
same care one for another. 

26 And whether one member suiFer, ° all the 
members suffer with it ; or one member be ho- 
noured, all the members: rejoice witii it.

FHIANS. Of strange tongues. 

20 Brelhrcij, be not children in undeistiuid- 
ing : hov^rbeit, in malice ' be ye cliilcL-en, but in 
under^t^\nding fv f men. 

21 In "die law it is written, Widi 7ncn ^ oj 
other tongues and other lips \\ill I speak imlo 
this people ; and yet for all that will they not heiu 
me, siiith the LorcL. 

22 AVhcrefore, tongues ai'e for a sign, not to 
them that belie\c, but to them th;it believe not; 
but pn.phesj ing ser'cctli not for diem that belie\ e 
nof, but for tliciu which belie\ c. 

2.3 If therefore, the ^\ho!e church be come 
together into one place, and all speak w iih 
t(jagucs, and there come in those that are un- 
learned, or unbelie\ers, \vill they not " say that 
5'e iire ma.d .' 

24 But if all prophcs\-, and diere come in one 
that belie\eth not, or otie unle;inied, he is con- 
vinced of all, he is judged of all: 

25 And dius are the secrets of his heart made 
manifest; and so, falling down on his face, he 
will worship God, and report ""diat God is in 
you of a truth. 

26 How is it then, brethren : \\ hen j'c come 
together, e\eiy one of \'ou hath a psalm, hatli a 
doctrine, *>hath a tongue, hath a revelation, hath 
an interpretiUion. ""Let all diings be doiK> unto 
edifying. 

27 If an\- miui speak, in an nnkncrccn tongue, 
let it be by t\\ o, or at tlie most by three, iind that 
by course ; and let one inteipret. 

28 But if there Ix- no inteniieter, let him keep 
silence in Vie church: and let hiTu speak to liim- 
self, and to God. 

29 Let the prophets speak t\\o or tlii-ee, ' and 
let the other judgC'.*^* 

30 If any thing be revealed to another diat 
sitteth b}-, let the first hold his peace. 

31 For ye may all prophesy one by one, that 
all may learn, and all may be comfbrted, 

32 And the ' spirits of die prophets are subject 
to the prophets. 

33 For God is not ///£■ <7z/?//o;- of f confusion, 
but of pea(*e, as in all chuiches of the siiints. 

34 " Let J'our women keep silence in the 
churches : for it is not permitted unto diem to 
speak ; but they are commaniled to be under 
* obedience, as also saith ''the law. 

35 And if diey will leani a;iy diing, let them 
ask their husb.inds at home ; for it is a shame for 
women to speak in the church. 

36 What! came the word of God out from 
you ? or came it unto \ou onl\' .'' 

37 If ;uiy man think * himself to be a jirophet, 
or sjiiritual, let him acknowledge that the things 
tluit I write unto you iuc die commandments of 
the Lord. 

38 But if iuiy man Ix; ignorant, let him be 
ignorant. 

39 WHiercfore, brediren, * covet to prophesy, 
and forbid not to speak w itli tongues. 

40 Let all diings be done decuitly, and *in 
order.

By C/irisi^s resurrection is CHAP. 

CHAP. XV. 

3 By Chrisfs resurrection, 12 he proveth the ne- 
cessity of oar resurrection,- against all such as 
deny the resurrection of the body.flX The fruit 
oS and manner thereof, 51 and of the clianging 
of them that shall be found alive at the last day. 

MOREOVER, brethren, I declare unto j'ou 
the ''gospel which I preached untoyou, 
\vhich also ye have receh'ed, and wherein ye 
^ stand ; 

2 By which also ye are sa^•ed, if ye j| keep in 
memory f what I preached unto j'oii, unless ye 
ha^-e believed in ^ain; 

3 Fori "deliAered unto you first of all, that 
wliich I also recei\'ed, hov/ that Christ died for 
our sins, '^r.3coruing to the scriptures: 

4 And that he ^ras buried,^ and that he rose 
again the tliird day, ^ according to the sciip- 
tures : 

5 And that he was seen of *" Cephas, then of 
s the t^'\'elve : 

6 After that he was seen of abo\^e five hundred 
bretliren at once, of ^'vhom the greater pait re- 
main unto this present: but some are fallen 
asleep. 

7 After that he was seen of James; then of 
^ all the apostles. 

8 'x\nd last of all he was seen of me also, as of 
II one born out of due time. 

9 For I am the ^ least of the apostles, that am 
not meet to be called an apostle, because I ^per- 
secuted the church of God. 

10 But by the " grace of God I am ^hat I 
am : and his grace, which %vas bestowed upon 
mc, \vas not in vain ; but I laboured " more 
abundantly than they all ; yet not I, but die 
° grace of God which was \\idi me. 

11 Therefore, ^iiether it xvere I or they, so 
we preach, and so ye believed. 

12 Now, if Ciii-ist be preached that he rose 
from the dead, how say some among you, that 
there is no resurrection of the dead ? 

13 But if there be no resurrection of die dead, 
p then is Christ not risen : 

14 Aiid if Clii'ist be not risen, then is our 
preaching vain, and your faith is also A'ain. 
y 15 Yea, and wq are found false witnesses of 
God : 1 because wc ha\'e testified of God that he 
raised up Christ ; whom he raised not up, if so 
be that the dead rise not. 

16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ 
raised ; 

17 And if Christ be not raised, your faitii is 
vain ; xq are yet '' in your sins. 

18 Then they also which ai'e fallen asleep in 
Christ ai'e perished. 

19 If in this life only we have hope in Clvist, 
we ai-e of all men most miserable. 

20 But now is Clirist risen Irom the dead, and 
become Hhe first-fruits of them that slept. 

21 For since by man came * death, by man 
came also the "^ resun-ection of the dead. 

22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ 
shall all be made aliA-e. 

23 But " everv man in his own order : Christ 



XV. shenved the necessity of ours. 979 

the first-fruits ; afiei-ward tliey that are Clirist 's DoWm 
at his coming. *?■ 

24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have '"""'■ ' 
='de!i^■ered up the kingdom to God, even theaver.28. 
Father : when he shall lia%e put down all rule, 

and i\ll authority, and power. 

25 _ For he must reign, ^ till he hath put an ^ 'f^. no. i. 
enemies under his feet. 

26 The last enemy that shall be " destroyed is •= 2 Tim. 
death. ' Re'^cn. 

27 For lie "^hath put all things under his feet. dPs.s.e. 
But when he saitli. All things are put under him, 

it is nicuiifest that he is excepted ^\ilich did put 
all things under him. 

28 And when all things shall be subdued unto 
him, then shall the Son also IJmself be ^ subjec" e chap. 1. 
unto him that put all tilings uidtr him, that God"-"^"-^' 
maj' be all in ail. 

29 Else ^vhat shall they do, which are baptiz- 
ed for die dead, if the dead rise not at ail ? /why 

are diey then baptized ^for the dead ? ' fPs. 45,18. 

30 And ^\-hy stand we in Sjeop?jdy e\'ery hour ? gacor. 

31 I protest by || 3-our rejoicing \\-hich' I ha-\-f "g^^^ 
in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die d-iily. read'^r. 

32 If j] after the manner of men, 1 h ;ve fough n or, to 
^vith beasts at Ephesus, what advantageth it me , ?Ar,LSr 
if the dead rise not ? ''let us eat and drink, for to- fcTi. s. 
moiTO\'i' v:e die. hisa. 22.13. 

33 Be not deceived; 'evil communications ichap. 5.6. 
corrupt good manners. 

.34 ''Awoke to righteousness, and sin not; for tRom. 
some have not 'the knowledge of God : I speak fi^i^ess. 
this to yoiu- shame. ■*. 5. 

" 35 But some ?nan Mill say, Hgw are the dead 
raised up ; and \\-ith what body do they come : 

36 Thou fool, "that wliich thou sovvest, is not m john 
quickened, except it die : ^- ^• 

_ 37 And that \\-iiich thou so west, thou sorest 
not that body diat shall be, but bare grain; it 
may chance of M-heat, or of some other grain : 

38 But God gi-veth it a body, as it hath plea- 
sed him, and to every seed his own bodv. 

39 All flesh is not the same flesh : but there is 

one kind </ flesh of " men, another flesh of ° Beasts, n cen. 2. r. 
another of fishes, and another of birds. ' o Gen. 1. 

40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies^"'"' 
ten-esti'ial : but the glory of the celestial is one'; 
and the '^lory of the ten^estrial is another. 

41 There is one glory of die r sun, and aiio-pGen.i.i6. 
tlier glory of the imoon, and another gloiT otqG«,.n6. 
the stai-s : for one stai- diiTeretii fi-om another sXsiX 

in glory. 

4.2 So also is the "■ resmrection of the dead: '^011.12.3, 
it is so\ni in coiTuption, it is raised in inconaip- 
tion : 

43 'It is soM-n in dishonour, it is raised insphii.3.21- 
glory; it is soa\ii in Aveakness, it is raised in 
poA\er ; 

44 It is sown a natural body, it is rased a 
spiritual bod\'. There is a natural body, and there 
is a spiritual body. 

45 And so it is written, The first man Adam 
■^was made a living soul, the "last Adam W(7j-tGen.2.r. 
7nade a " quickening spirit. , ^^ j""' 

46 Howbeit, that ivas not first which is sni- '^ J»f^

53 For this coiruptible must put on incomip-

54 So w hen tliis corruptible shall have put on

Ific aposde encouragcth them against troubles y 
bii the comforts and deliverances xvhich God had 
^hen him, as in all his afflictions^ 8 so particu- 
larly in his late danger in Asia: 12 and calling 
both, his own conscience and theirs to witness q/ 
his sincere Tnan?ier of preachirig the immutahie 
truth of the gospel, 15 he excuseth his not com- 
ing to them, as proceeding not of lightness, but 
of his lenity towards them. 

AUL, *an apostle of Jesus Ciirist, by the 
will of God, and Timothy our brother, 
unto tiie church of God which is at Corinth, 
with ^ all the saints ^\"liich ai'e in all Aehaia : 

2 Grace be to you, and peace, from God our 
Ffiither, -and/ro/?? the Lord Jesus Chi'ist. 

3 " Blessed be God, even tl\e Father of our 
Lord Jesus Ciii-ist, the Father of niercies, and 
the God of all comibrt ; 

4 \Mio ^ comforteth us in all our tribulation, 
that we may be able to comfoit them which ai^e 
in any ti'ouble, by the comfort wherewith we 
ourselves are comforted of God. 

5 For, ^ as the sufferings of Christ abound 
in us, so our consolation iilso aboimdeth bj^ 
Christ. 

6 And whether we he afflicted, it is for your 
consolation, and saltation, which J! is efrectual 
in the endurin.s of the same suilerings whicii \\t 
also suffer; or \\ nether we be comforted, it is 
for your ^ consolation and salvation. 

7 And our hope of you is stedfist, knowing, 
that as ye are paitakers of the sufferings, e so 
shall lie be also oi' the consolation. 

8 For we \vouid not, brethren, have yoti ig- 
norant of our trour/ie '\\hich came to us in Asia, 
that we ^yere pressed out of measure, abo^e 
strength, insomuch tiiat Ave despaired exen of 
life : 

9 But we had the 1| sentence of death in our- 
seh-es, that we should not trust in ourselves, 
but m God, which raiseth the dead ; 

10 Wlio delnered us from so great a death, 
and doth deliAerj in whom \ve ti-Ubt that he 
^ will yet deliver us; 

11 Ye also ' helpir.g together by prayer for 
u?, that, for the ^ gift bestowed upon us by the 
mean -, of mraiy persons, thanks may be given by 
mciny Oii our behalf. 

12 For our rejoicing is this, the testimony of 
our conscience, that in simplicity and godly 
Sincerity/, "" not -with fleshly wisdom, but by the 
grace of Go*:!, v.e iiave had our conversation in 
the world, luid more abundaiitly to you-\vaid. 

13 For we write none' other tilings unto you, 
than wkit ye read or acknowledge ; and 1 trust 
ye shall acknowledge even to the end ; 

14 As also" ye have acknowledged us in part,

7 But A\"e ha^'e this treasure in ^ earthen ves-

of God, and not of us. 

8 IVc are troubled on every side, j'et not dis- 
tressed ; we are perplexed, but !| not in despair ; 

9 Pej-secuted, but not forsalcen ; cast do^\■n, 
but not destroyed ; 

10 Ahvaj's healing about in the body the 
"^ dying of the Lord Jesus, that the " life also of 
Jesus might be made manifest in our body. 

11 For we v.hich li\e ai-e al\Miy delivered 
unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of 
Jesus might be made manil'est in our mortal 
flesh. 

12 So then death v/crketh in us, but °life in 
you. 

13 We ha^■ing the same Spirit of faith, ac- 
cording as it is Avritten, '' I belie^'ed, and there- 
fore ha\'e I spoken ; v.e also believe, and tliere- 
foi e si^eak ; 

14 Kno'wing that he which raised up the 
Lord Jesus, shall nuse up us also by Jesus, and 
shall present us -with you. 

15 For 1 all tilings are for your sakes, that the 
abundant giacc might, through the tlianksgiving 
of many, redound to the glory of God. 

16 For which f:ause -we iaint not; but though 
our outv.ard mcUi perish, yet the "" inward man 
is rencMcd day by day, 

17 For 'our light affliction, which is but for 
a moment, worketh for us a feu" more exceed- 
ing av.d eternal A^eight of g'or3\ 

13 While w^ look not at the tilings wliich 
are seen, but at the tlxirigs '^■^^liich are not seen : 
for the things which are seen, are temipoi-al ; but 
the things ^\hxh ai"e not seen, are eternal.

in expectance ofit^ and rf the general jiid^ mcnt, 
he labour eth to keep a good conscience ; 12 not that 
he may herein boast of /umself 14 but as one 
that having receivedlfefrom Christ, endeavonr- 
eth to live as a new creature to Christ o?di/, 

18 and by his ministry cf reconciliation, to re- 
concile others also in Christ to God. 

FOR A> e kiio\A-, tliat if our ^ earthly house of

to be clothed upon with our house which is 
from heaven :

be found naked. 

4 For we that are in this tabernacle, do groan, 
being burdened ; not for that we wow'.d be un- 
clothed, but clothed upon, nhat moitolity might 
be swallowed up of life. 

5 Now, he that liaih *^ wrought us for the self- 
s:me thing, is God, who also k.di gi\en unto us 
the ea;ne>t (fthe Spirit. 

6 Therefore we are iilways confident, kr,ow-

8 We ai'e confident, 1 say, and willing ratlier 
to be absent flom the body, and to "be present 
^vith the Lord. 

9 Wlierefore we |1 labour, that, A\hetlier pre- 
sent or absent, we may be accepted of liim. 

10 ^ For we must all appear before the judg- ^4^i°a'"- 
ment-seat of Christ ; that every one may receixe 

the things done in his body, according to that he 
hath done, whether it be good or bad. 

11 Knouing, therefoi-e, the 'terror of the n^^^ 31.23. 
Lord, wt persuade men ; but we are made ma- 
nifest unto God, and I trust also are made ma- 
nifest in your consciences. 

12 For we ^ commend not ourselves again unto i^chap.s.v 
you, but gi^-e you occasion 'to glory on our be- \^^^^- 
half, that ye may 1i?a e somewhat to answer them, 
which glory f in appe:inmce, and not in heart. 

13 For Avhetlier we be "beside oursehes, it j,^f);^ j-^.^ 
is to God; or whetlier we be sober, it is foi mchap.ii'. 
j-our cause. _ _ i^Xli^" 

14 For the love of Christ consti-aineth us ; 
because we thus judge, tliat if one died for iJl, 
dien were all dead : 

15 And that he died for all, that they which lixe, 
should not herxeforth Uac unto themsehes, but 

" unto him w" hich died for them, and rose ag.;in. !? ^o^ ".

w ith comfort, I am exceeding joyful in all our 
ribulation. 

5 For when we were come into Macedonia, 
.)ur flesh had no rest, but ' we were troubled 
on everj' side: ^\vitliout iixrc figluings, witliin 
were lears. 

6 Ne\ ertheless, God, that comforteth tliose 
that are cast down, comforted us by the ^ coming 
of Titus: 

7 And not by his coming only, but by the 
con.sohition wherewith he w-as comfoited in you, 
when he told us your earnest desire, your mourn- 
ing, yoin- tervent mind toward me ; so tliat I re- 
joiced the more. 

8 For though I made you sorr\' w ith a letter, 
I do not repent, '' though 1 did repent : for I per- 
cei\ e that the siime epistle hath made you soiry, 
diough it ivere but for a season. 

9 No\v I rejoice, not tliiit ye were made sorrj', 
but that ye sorrowed to repentance : for ye w ere 
m;ide soit>' || after a godh' manner, tliat ye miglr 
receive damage by us in nothing. 

10 For godly sorrow worketh 'repentance to 
sahation not to l)c repented of: but 'the sorrow 
of the world worketh death. 

11 For behold, this self-Simie thing, that yc 
son-o\\ ed after a godly sort, ^\•hat aiixfnlness it 
wrought in you, yea, w/iat dealing of yourselves, 
yea, -iv/uit indignation, j^ea, iv/iat fear, yea, iv/iat 
vehement desire, yea, w/iat zeal, yea, w/iat re- 
venge! In all t//in,[s je ha\e approved your- 
sel\ es to be clear in this matter. 

12 Wherefore, thoVigh I wrote unto you, / 
did It not for his auisc that had done tlie w rong, 
nor for his cause that suffered wrong, but that 

j our ' aire for you in the sight of God might ap- 
pear unto you. 

13 Therefore, ^\c were comforted in your

2 How that, in a great trial of affliction, the 
abundance of their joy, and their ^ deep poverty, 
abounded unto die riches of tiieir •= liberality. 

3 For to their power, I bear record, yea, and 
beyond their power, theij were willing of tliem- 
seives : 

4 Praying us with much entreaty that we 
would receive tlie gift, and take upon us the 
^ fellowship of die ministering to the saints. 

5 And this they did^ not as we hoped ; but 
first gave their ownselves to the Lord, and unto 
us by the Mill of God : 

6 Insomuch, that we desired ^ Titus, that as 
he had begun, so he would also finish in you 
the same grace also. 

7 Therefore, as ye abound in ^ every thing., in 
faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all 
diligence, and in your love to us; see that ye 
abound in ^ this grace also. 

8 I speak ^ not by commandment, but by oc- 
casion of the forwardness of others, and to prove 
the sincerity of your love. 

9 For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus 
Christ, that diough he was rich, yet for yoiu" 
sokes ' he became poor, tliat ye through his po- 
verty might be rich. 

10 And herein I give my ^ advice : for this 
is expedient for you, who have begun before, 
not only to do, but also to be t forward a year 
ago. 

11 Now, therefore, perform the doing o/" zV; 
that, as there %uas a readiness to will, so there 
may be a performance also out of tliat Avhich ye 
have. 

12 For if there be first a ^ willing mind, it is 
accepted according to that a man hath, and not 
according to that he liath not, 

13 For / mean not that otlier men be eased, and 
you burdened : 

14 But by an equality, that now at this time 
your abundance 7nay be a supply for their want, 
that their abundance also may be a supply for your 
want: that there rnay be equality ; 

15 As it is \mtten, " He that had gathered 
much, had nothing over; and he that had ga- 
t tiered litde, had no lack. 

16 But thanks be to God, A\"hic}i put the same 
earnest care into the " heart of Titus for you. 

17 For indeed he accepted the ° exhoitation ; 
but being more forward, of his o^vn accord, he 
went unto you. 

18 And we have sent with him the pj^rother, 
w hose praise is in the gospel, throughout all tlie 
churches: 

1 9 And not that only, but ^'vho was also i cho- 
sen of the churches to tra^'cl "svith us m ith tliis 
II grace, which is administered by us to *" the glorj^ 
of the same Lord, and declaration of your ready 
mind : 

20 Avoiding tliis, that no man should blame 
us in this abundance which is administered 
bj' us : 

21 Providing for ' honest things, not only in 
the sight of the Lord, but also in the sight of 
men.

22 And we have sent with tiiem our brother, 
M'hom AA'e hsL\& oftentimes proxed diligent in ma- 
ny things, but now much more diligent, upon 
the great confidence which || I have in you. 

23 Whether a7iy do cnqidre of Titus, he is 
my partner and fellow-helper concerning you ; 
or our brethren be e?iquired of, they are the 
* messengers of the churches, and the gloiy of*^^ 
Christ. 

24 Wherefore shew ye to them, and before the 
churches, tlie proof of your love, and of ° our „ Q,ap. 
boasting on your behalf. 

CHAP, IX. 

1 He yieldeththe'reaso?ivjhy, though he kneiv their 
forwardness, yet he sent Titus and his brethren 
beforehand: 6 and he proceedeth in stirri7ig them 
up to a bountiful alms, as being but a kind of 
solving of seed, 10 which shall return a great 
increase to them, 13 and occasion a great sa- 
crifice of thanksgiving imto God. 

FOR as touching the ^ ministering to the a i cor; 
saints, it is supei"fluous for me to write to ^^' '• 
you : 

2 For I know the fonvardness of your mind, 

for \A'hich '' Iboast of you to tliem of Macedonia, b chap, 
that Acliaia was ready "^a year ago ; and yom " 
zeal hath provoked very many. 

3 Yet have I sent the ^ brethren, lest our boast- 
ing of you should be in vain in this behalf; that, ^^^^'"' 
as I said, ye may be ready. 

4 Lest haply if they of Macedonia come with 
me, and find you unprepared, we (that we say 
not, ye) should be asiiamed in this same confident 
boasting. 

5 Therefore I thought it necessary to exhort 
the bretlii-en, that they would go before unto you, 
and make up beforehand your " f bounty, || where- 
of ye had notice before^ that the same miglit be fs^*, 
ready, as a matter of bounty, and not as o/'l^icfng 
covetousness. s- "• 

6 But this / say. He which soweth sparingly, L^«r. 
shall reap also sparingly ; and he wiiich soweth \^^l^ 
bountifully, shall reap also bountifully. "hathbecn. 

7 Every man according as he purposeth in his %Xnof 
heart, so let him give ; not grudgingly, or of ^ p°^^ 
necessity ; for ^ God lovetli a cheerful giver. "• aX* 

8 And God is able to make all gi-ace abound ^s^g"^ 
toward you; that ye, always having all suffici ^""'•^'^^ 
ency in iill things, may abound to eveiy good 
work : 

9 (As it is written, « He hath dispersed abroad: hzto™' 
he hath given to the poor : his righteousness re- 
maineth for ever. 

10 Now, he that ^ rainistereth seed to the •> '"""^ 
sower, bodi minister bread for your food, and*^* 
multiply your seed sown, and increase the fruits 

of your ' righteousness : ) -> i ho?, 

11 Being enriched in every thing to all bounti- ^''■"" 
tifulness, which causeth thi^ough us, thanksgiving 

to God, 

12 For the administration of tliis service not 
only supplied! the ^ want of the saints, but is k chap, 
abundant also by many thanksgivings unto God ; '•'*•

1 Against the false a {jostles, who disgraced the 

•weakness of his person and bodily presence, he 

setteth out the spiritual might and authority ivith 

B IV hie h he is armed against all adversary powers, 

1 assuring them that at his coming lie will be 
found as mighty in word, as he is now in xvriting 

being absent : 12 and withal taxing them for 
reaching out themselves beyond their compass, 
and vaunting themselves in other inai'^s labours. 

NOW I Paul myself * beseech you, by the 
meekness and gendeness of Christ, A\ho 
!1 in presence am base among you, but being ab- 
sent am bold towaids you. 

2 But I beseech you, that I may not be bold 
\\hen I am present, with thiit ''confidence 
\\ herewitii I tliink to be bold against some, 
which II tlunk of us as if we walked according to 
the flesh. 

3 For though ^\e \\alk in die flesh, we do 
not ^\ itf after the flesh : 

4 (For the " weapons of our warfare are not 
carnal, but ** mighty- || through God, to the pull- 
ing down of strong holds ;) 

5 Casting down || imaginations, and eveiy 
high thing tliat exiJteth itself against the know- 
ledge of God, and bringing into captivity eveiy 
thought to the obedience of Christ : 

6 And ha\ing in a readiness to revenge all 
' disobedience, when yovn- ^ olx^dience is fulfilled. 

7 Do ye look on tilings after the ^outwaid 
appauancc ? If any man trust to himself that he 
is ^ Chiist's, let him of himself think this agiiin, 
tliat, as he is Christ's, even so arc we Christ's. 

3 For though I shovild i)oast somewhat more 
of our 'authority, ^\hich the Lord hath gi\en us 
for edification, and not for your destruction, I 
should not be ashamed ; 

9 That I mi\y not seem as if I would terrify 
^•ou by letters. 

10 For /i/,s letters (say they) ^;r weighty and 
powcrfiil -, but his boclily presence is ^ weak, and 
his ' speech contemptible. 

1 1 Let such an one think this, diat such as we 
an- in word by lettei-s when we aie absent, such 
will we be also in deed w hen we are present. 

12 For \ve dajc not make oursehes of die 
""jr^fclp „j^,jyjl^r, or compiue ourselves widi some thit 

comnund themselves: but .tlicy, measuring 
themselves by themselves, and comparing them- 
selves among themselves, || are not w isc. 

13 But we will not boast of Uiings without our 
measure, but according to the mei'^ure of the 
II rule which God kith distributed to us, a mea- 
sure to reach c^•en unto you.

1 Out of his jealousy over the Corinthians, who 
seemed to jnake more account of the false apostles 
than of fnm, he enter eth into a forced commen- 
dation of himself, 5 of his equality with the 
chief apostles, 7 of his preaching the gospel to 
them Jreely, and without any their charge : 
13 shewing that fi£ was not inferior to those de- 
ceitful workers in any legal prerogative ; 23 and 
in the service of Christ, and in all kind of suf- 
ferings for his ministry, far superior.

'beguiled Eve tlirough liis subtilty, so your t ecu.

that is in Christ, * 4,t,ii.'

was lacking to me, the brediren which came from

12 But what I do, that I will do, that I may 
cut ofF occasion from them which desire occasion ; 
that wherein they glorj^, they may be found even 
as we. 

13 For such are "false apostles, deceitful 
workers, ti-ansforming themselves into the apos- 
tles of Christ ; 

14 And no marvel ; for Satan himself is trans- 
pGai.1.8. fonned into an P angel of light, 

15 Therefore it is no great thing, if Ms minis- 
ters also be transformed as the ministers of righte- 
ousness ; whose i end shall be according to their 
works. 

16 I say again, Let no man think me a fool : 
if otherwise, yet as a fool || receive me, that I may 
boast myself a little. 

17 Tliat which I speak, I speak zV"" not after 
the Lord, but as it were foolishly, in this confi- 
dence of boasting. 

18 Seeing that many glory = after 
will glory also. 

19 For ye sufier fools gladly, seeing ye your- 
selves are wise. 

20 For ye suffer, if a man bring you ' into bond- 
age, if a man devour you^ if a man take of you., if 
a man exalt himself, if a man smite you on the 
face. .^ 

21 I speak as concerning reproach, as though 
\^•e had been weak. Howbeit whereinsoever any 
is bold, (I speak foolishly) I am bold also. 

22 Are they Hebrews ? "^ so am L Are they 
Israelites ? so am L Ai-e they the seed of Abra- 
ham ? so am \. 

23 Are they ministers of Christ ? (I speak as 
a fool,) I am more : in labours ^ niore abundant, 
in stripes above measure, in prisons more fre- 
quent, y in deaths oft. 

24 Of the Jews five times received I ^ forty 
stripes save one. 

25 Thrice was I * beaten with rods ; ^ once 
w-as I stoned ; tlvice I '^ suffered shipwreck ; a 
night and a day I h&yo. been in the deep ; 

26 Li joumeyings often, i?i perils of waters, 
in perils of robbers, in perils ^ by mine oivn cown- 
Uymen, in perils by ^ the heathen, in perils in the 
citj% in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the 
sea, in perils among false brethren ; 

27 ^ In M'eariness and painfulness, in ^v'atch- 
ings often, in hunger and tiiirst, in fastings often, 
in cold and nakedness. 

23 Besides those things that ai-e without, that 
which Cometh upon me daily, ^ the care of all the 
churches. 

29 Who is A^•eak, and I am not weak? who is 
offended, and I bum not ? 

30 If I must needs glory, I will glorj' of the 
things which concern mine infirmities. 

31 The God and Father of our Lord Jesus 
Christ, which is blessed for e\'ermore, ^ knowedi 
that I lie not. 

32' In Damascus the governor under Ai-etas 
the king kept the city of the Damascenes with a

I let down by the wall, and escaped his han^s.

CHAP. XIL 

I For commending of his apostleship, though he 
might glory of his wonderful revelations, 9 yet 
he rather chooseth to glory of his infirmities, 
11 blaming them for forcing him to this vain 
boasting. 14 He promiset/i to cotne to thiem 
again ; but yet altogether in the affection of a fa- 
ther, 20 although hefeareth he shall to his grief 
find many offenders, and public disorders there. 

IT is not expedient for me, doubtless to glorj'^ ; 
1 1 will come to visions and revelations of t cr. 
tlieLord. _ ■ I'JJ''^ 

2 I knew a man ^in Christ, about fourteen a Rom. 
years ago, (whether in the body, I cannot tell ; or chap. 
whether out of the body, I cannot tell : God *• ^^' 
knoweth,) such an one caught up to the third 
heaven. 

3 And I knew such a man, (whether in the 
body, or out of the body, I cannot tell : God 
knoweth,) 

4 How that he was '' caught up into = paradise, b Acts 
and heard unspeakable words, which it is not f^uke 

II lawfiil for a man to utter. s3. 43. 

5 Of such an one will I glory: yet of myself I ^„°g;^, 
^ will not glory, but in mine infirmities. d chap.' 

6 For though I would _ desire to glory, * I "^^^p ^^^ 
shall not be a fool : for I will say the truth : but s. & ii.\C 
710W I forbear, lest any man should think of me 
above that which he seeth me to be, or thai he 
heai-eth of me. 

7 And lest I should be exalted above measure 
through the abundance of the revelations, there 

was given to me a ^thom in the flesh, the ^ mes- f seeEzek. 
senger of Satan to buffet me, lest I should be caifl: 
exalted above rneasure. 

8 For this thing I besought the Lord ^ thrice, 
that it might depart firom me. 

9 And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient 
for tliee : for my strength is made perfect in weak- 
ness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory 
in my infirmities, that the ' power of Clirist may ichac 
rest upon me. 

10 Therefore I take pleasure ^ in infirmities, 
in reproaches, in necessities, in persecutions, in 
distresses for Christ's sake : for when I am weiik, 
then am I strong. 

11 I am become a fool in glorying; ye have 
compelled me : for I ought to have been com- 
mended of you ; for in notliing am I behind the 
veiy chiefest apostles, though I be nothing. 

12 Truly the ^ signs of _ an apostle were \f-^" 
wrought among you in all patience, in signs, and 
wonders, and mighty deeds. 

13 For what is it wherein ye were inferior 

to other churches, except it be that '" I myself m chap. 
was not burdensome to you? forgive me'this "■'^''' 
%\Tong. 

14 Behold, "the third time I am ready to come ufi^^' 
to you : and I will not be biuxlensome to you ; 

for I seek not yours, but you; for the ° children ^i^u°^-^- 
ought not to lay up for the parents, but the pa- 
rents for the children. 

15 And I will very gladly spend and be spent 
for t you ; though the more abundantly I love t c!r.

20 For I fear, lest v hen I come, I shall ' not

found unto you such as ye would not : lest there 
be debates, envyings, wraths, strifes, backbitings,

will humble me among youj and that I shall

■ have not repented of • the imcleanncss, and for-

CHAP. XIII. 
1 He threatencth severity^ and the pcnver of his 
apostleship against obstinate sinners ; 5 and ad- 
vising them to a trial of their faith, 7 and to 
reformation of their sins before his coming, 11 
he concludeth his epistle with a general exhor- 
tation and a prayer. 

THIS is the "diird time I am coming to you. 
'' In the mouth of i\vo or tlirce ^vitne5scs 
shall every word be established. 

2 I told you before, and foretel you, as if I 
were present the second time ; and being absent, 
now I \\ rite to them "^ \\hich heretofore have sin- 
ned, iuid to all othei-, that, if I come again, I u ill 
not spai e ; 



3 Since ye seek a proof of Christ ^ spetiking in 
me, ^\ hich to you-w ard is not w eak, but is ' migh- 
ty in you. 

4 For diough he ^^'as cnicified through weak- 
ness, yet he liveth by the pow er of God. For we

13 For j^e have heard of my conversation in 
time past in the Jcm s' rehgion, hoiv that ' beyond 
measure I persecuted the church of God, and 
wasted it ; 

14 And profited in the Je^^'s' religion above 
many my f equals in mine own nation, being 
more exceedingly zealous of the traditions of 
my fathers. 

15 But when it pleased God, who separated 
me fi-om my m.other's womb, and called me by 
his grace, 

16 To reveal his Son in me, that "" I might 
preach him among the heathen ; immediately 
I conferred not " with fiesh and blood : 

17 Neither ^^"ent I up to Jerusalem to them 
which w"ere apostles before me ; but I went into 
Arabia, and returned again unto Damascus. 

18 Then ° after three years I || went pp to Je- 
rusalem to see Peter, and abode with him fifteen 
days. 

19 But other of the aposdes saw I none, save 
James die p Lord's brother. 

20 Now, the things ^vliich I \\Tite unto yo^y 
behold, before God, ^ I lie not. 

_ 21 Afterwards I came into the regions of Sy- 
ria and *■ Cilicia : 

22 And was unkno^^Ti by face unto the 
^ churches of Judea, which were ^ in Christ : 

23 But they had heard onlj-. That he which 
persecuted us in times past, now preacheth the 
faith vi^hich once he destroyed. 

24 And they glorified God in me. 

CHAP. II. 
1 Heske-Tueth whenhenventup again tojerusalem^ 
and for what purpose : 3 and that Titus was not 
circumcised : 11 arid that he resisted Peter., and 
told him the reason., 14 ivhy he and others., beijig 
Jews, do believe in Christtobe justified by faith, 
and not by ivorks; 20 and that they live not in 
sin, who are so justified. 

THEN fourteen years after, ^ I went up a- 
gain to Jeiiisalem w^th Barnabas, and took 
Titus uith me also. 

2 And I went up by revelation, and ^ com- 
municated unto them that gospel wliich I preach 
among the Gentiles, but || privately to them 
which were of reputation, lest by any means I 
should run, or had run, ^ in vain. 

3 But neither Titus, who was with me, be- 1 
ing a Greek, Mas compelled to lie cii'cumcised : 

4 And that because ^ of false brethi-en una- 
wares brought in, who came in privily to spy 
out oui' *" liberty \\diich we have in Cluist Jesus, 
that they might bring us into bondage ; 

5 To whom Me gave place by subjection, no, 
not for an hour ; that the *" truth of the gospel 
might continue with you. 

6 But of those, who seemed to be somewhat : 
(whatsoever they were, it makedi no matter to 
me : ^ God accepteth na man's person :) for they 
who seemed to be somewhat, in conference ad- 
ded nodiing to me ; 

7 But contrariwise, when they saw that the 
gospel of the imcircumcision was ■* committed

unto me, as the gospel of the circumcision was 
unto Peter : 

8 (For he that wTought effectually in Peter to 
die aposdeship of die circumcision, the same 
Mas ' mightj^ in me toward the Gentiles ;) 

9 And M'hen James, Cephas, and John, M'ho 
seemed to be ^ pillai's, perceived the grace that 
was given unto me, they gave to me and Barna- 
bas the right hands of fellowship ; that v.e shoidd 
go unto die headien, and they vmto the cii'cum- 
cision. 

10 Only tlwy would that we ^ should remem- 
ber the poor ; the same w^hich I also was for- 
ward to do. 

11 But when Peter was come to Antioch, I 
M'ithstood him to the face, because he was to be 
blamed. 

12 For before that ceitain came fi-om James, 
" he did eat with die Gentiles : but when they 
Mere corne, he Mithdi'ew, and separated him- 
self, fearing them M'liich M^ere of the circum- 
cision. 

13 And the other iews dissembled likcMise 
M'ith him ; insomuch that Barnabas also w^as car- 
ried aM^y M'ith dieir dissimulation. 

14 But M"hen I saM' diat they walked not up- 
righdy, " according to the tiTitli of the gospel, I 
said unto Peter ° before them all, If diou, being 
a Jew, livest after the manner of Gentiles, and 
p not as do the Jcms, mIiv compellest diou the 
Gentiles to live as do die Jcm'S? 

15 We "a: ho are Jcms by nature, and not ^ sin- 
ners of the Gentiles, 

16 KnoM'ing tiiat a man is ''not justified by 
the works of the laM', but by the faidi of Jesus 
Christ; even we have believed in Jesus Christ, 
that Me might be justified by the faidi of Chiist, 
and not by the works of the laM" : for ^ by die 
works of tlielaAv shall no fiesh be justified. 

17 But if, while M-e seek to be justified by 
Christ, Me ourselves also aie found * sinners, 
is therefore Christ the minister of sin ? God 
forbid. 

18 For if I build again the things MliicKIde- 
stroj'ed, I make myself a transgressor. 

19 For I through the law "am dead to the 
law, diat I might li\e unto God, 

20 I am ^ crucified M'ith Christ : ne^-eitheless 
I live : yet not I, but Cliiist li^^eth in me : and 
the life Mhich I noM'^ live in die flesh, ^' I live by 
the faith of die Son of God, Mho loved me, and 
gave himself for me. 

21 I do not frustrate fne grace of God; for if 
^ righteousness coine by the la\v, then Christ is 
dead in vain. 

CHAP. III. 

1 He asketh what moved them to leave the faith, 
and hang upon the law. 6 They that believe arc 
justified, 9 and blessed with Abraham, 10 And 
this he slwweth by many reasons. 

O Foolish Galatians, who hath * bcMitched ascor 
you, that ye should not obey the ^ trudi, "• 
before Mhose eyes Jesus Cluist hatli b^fen evi- 2.*? 
dendy set forth,, crucified among you ?

2 Tliis only would I laim of you, Received 
ye the "= Spirit by the \\orks of the law, or bj- 
the •* hearing of faith '? 

3 Are ye so foolish .' lKi\ing begun in the 
Spirit, lire ye no\\- made perfect bj' tlie Hesh r 

4 Ha\e ye suftcred || so many tilings in vain ? 
if// i'eyct in vain. 

5 He, therefore, tliat ' ministereth to you the 
Spirit, iind worketh miracles among you, doet/i 
he it b\' tlie w orks of the law, or bv tiie l"»eaiing 
offaitli'? 

6 Even as ^ Abraham belie\'ed God, and it 
was II accounted to him for righteousness. 

7 Know ye, therelbre, that tliey a\ hich are of 
fuitli, the same are ^ tlie cliildren of Abraliam. 

8 And tlie scripture, foreseeing tliat God 
would justify the headien through fiiith, preach- 
ed before the gospel luito Abi-aliam, saying^ •* In 
tJiee shall all nations be blessed. 

9 So tlien, they which be of faith, are blessed 
with faiUiful Abraham. 

10 For as many as are of the works of the law, 
are under the curse : for it is WTitten, ' Cursed 
IS every one diat continueth not in all things 
w liich are written in the book of the law to do 
them. 

1 1 But that no man is justified by the law in 
the sight of God, it is e^ ident : for, ^ The just 
shall li\e by faith. 

12 And die law is not of faith: but, 'The 
man tliat doedi them shall live in Uiem. 

13 Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of 
the law' iK'ing made a curse for us : for it is writ- 
ten, " Cursed is CAcry one that hangcth on a tree ; 

14 Tliat the " blessing of Abraham might 
come on the Gentiles tlirough Jesus Christ ; that 
we might recei\e the promise of the Spirit 
through faith. 

15 Brtthren, I spciik after the manner of 
men ; Tiiough it be \nii a man's || co\enant, yet 
// ;/ he confirmed, no niiui disannulleth, or ad- 
deth thereto. 

16 Now, to ° Abraham and his seed A\"cre tlie 
promises made. He saith not, xVnd to seeds, as 
of m.-uiy; but as of one, And to thy seed, 
which is p Christ. 

17 And this 1 say, t//at the covenant, that 
was confimied before of God in Christ, the law, 
A\ hich wius "^ f(jur hvuidred and thirty years after, 
cannot disannul, tliat it should make the pro- 
mist of none effect, 

18 For if the inheritxince be of the law, it is 
no more of promise : but God gave it to Abra- 
Ivun by promise. 

19 \Vherefbre then servct/i d.e h\\ .' It >\as 
added because of 'transgressions, till the seed 
should come, to w hom the promise was made ; 
and it ivjs ordained by • angels in the hand of a 
'nicxliator. 

20 Now, a mediator is not a mediator of one ; 
but God is one. 

21 Is tlie law then against the promises of 
God; God forbid : for if there had been a^ law- 
given which could ha\e gi\en life, verily right- 
Lousness should liavc been by llie law. 



C/irist freetli us from the latjo. 



22 But the scripture hatii concluded "iill un- 
der sm, tliat the -'' promise by faith of Jesus 
Christ might be gi\'cn to them diat belie\e, 

23 But before faith came, \\e were kept un- 
der die law, shut up unto the f:iidi wliicli 
should afterw ards be re\ealed. 

24 ^^''herefore the law was our schoolmaster, 
to bring its inito Christ, that wx might be justi- 
fied by faith. 

25 But after that faith is come, we are no 
longer under a sclioolma.ster. 

26 For ye are all die > children of Gotl, by 
faith in Christ Jesus. 

27 For * as miuiy of j'ou as ha\e been bap- 
tized into Christ, \xx\q =» put on Cliiist, 

28 There is neither Je^v nor Greek, there is 
neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor 
female : for yc are all '' one in Christ Jesus. 

29 And if ye be Christ's, then a2e ye Abra- 
ham's seed, " and heirs according to the promise. 

CHAP. IV. 
1 TPe were under the hnv till Christ came, as the 
heir is under /as guardian till he beef age. 5 But 
Christ freed us from the law : 7 therefore we are 
servants no longer to it. 14 He rcmembereth 
their good-ivill to him, and his to them ; 22 and 
sheweth that we are the sons of Abraham by the 
free-woman. 

NO\y I say, that die * heir, as long as he is a 
child, diffcredi nodiing from a servant, 
though he be lord of all ; 

2 But is under tutors and governors until the 
time appointed of die fadier. 

3 Even so we, A\hen we were childi-en, Avere 
in *" bondage under the !| elements of the N\orld : 

4 But w hen the "^ fulness of the time was come, 
God sent foith his Son, made of a ''womaji, 
made " under the law, 

5 To redeem them diat were inider die law, 
diat we might receive die adoption of sons. 

6 And, because ye lu^e Sons, God liath sent 
forth ^die Spirit of his son into your heaits, 
ciying, Abba, Father. 

7 \Vherefore thou art no more a sen-ant, but 
a son ; and if a son, ^ then an heir of God 
duough Christ. 

8 Howbeit then, wlien ye knew ''not God, 
ye did senice unto diem \\ hich by nature are no 
gods. 

9 But now, after that ye lia\e know n God, 
or rather are known of God, how tinn ye || again 
to die weak and beggiirly I| elements, wliei-e- 
unto ye desire again to be in bondage? 

10' Yeobsencdays, and months, and times, 
iuid years. 

11 I am afraid ofj-ou,lest I liave bestowed 
upon you labour in ''vain. 

12 Bretliixn, I beseech you, Ix; as I am ; for 
I am as ye are : ye Yaxc not injured me at all. 

13 Ye know how, through infirmit>' * of the 
flesh, I preached the gospel unto you at die 
fust. 

11 And my temptation, which was in my 
flesh, ye despised not, nor rejected ; but recei\ ed 
mcas^ all :ingel of God, even as Christ Jesus.

4.5 II \\^iere is then the blessedness ye spake 
of? for I bear you record, that, if it had been pos- 
sible, 5^e would haA-e plucked out your own eyes, 
and have given them to me. 

16 Am I, therefore, become your enemy, "be- 
cause I tell you the truth ? 

17 They zealously affect you, 3w? not well; 
yea, they would exclude jj you, tliat ye might 
affect them. 

1 8 But it is good to be zealously affected al- 
ways in a good tiling, and not only when I am 
present Avith you. 

_ 19 ° My little cliildren, of wlK)m I travail in 
birth again, until Clirist be formed in you, 

20 I desire to te present w'xih you now, and 
to change my voice ; for || I stand in doubt of 
you. 

21 Tell me, ye that desire to be under the law, 
do j'e not hear the law ? 

22 For it is ^vritten, that Abraliam had two 
sons ; the one by ^ a bond- maid, the other by "^ a 
free-woman. 

23 But he ^joho \vas of the bond- woman, was 
bom •" after the flesh ; but he of the firee-'woman, 
•ivas ^ bj' promise. 

24 Which things are an allegoiy : for these 
ai-e the two || co^-enants ; the one from the 
mount* Sinai, which gendereth to bondage, vAhich 
is Ag-ai'. 

25 For this Agar is mount Sina in Arabia, 
and II ansu-ereth to Jerusalem, wliich now is, and 
is in bondage AAitli her cliildren, 

26 But Jerusalem "which is above, is free, 
wliich is the motlier of us all. 

27 For it is written, ''Rejoice, thouharren that 
beai-est not , break forth and cr\', thou that tra- 
\-ailest not : for the desolate hath many more chil- 
dren, than she ^^^hicll hath an husband. 

28 "Now ^^•e, bretliz'en, as Isaac was, are '^ the 
children of promise. 

29 But as then, he that was bom after the 
flesh, * persecuted him that ivas born after the 
Spirit, ^ even so it is now. 

30 Neveitlieless, what saith the scripture? 
^ Cast out tlie bond- woman and her son : for the 
•^ son of the bond-\voman shall not be heir widi 
the son of the free- woman. 

31 So then, bredii-en, we are not children of 
die bond- woman, ^ but of the free. 

CHAP. y. 
1 He moveth them to stand in their liberty, 3 and 
not to obsei-^oe circumcisioti ; 13 but ratfier love, 
which is the sum of the la-iO. 19 He reckoneth 
up the ivorks of the fesh, 22 and the fruits of 
the Spirit ; 25 and exhorteth to iva/k in the 
Spirit. 

STAND fast tlierefore, in the ^ liberty wliere- 
widi Christ liadi made us free, and be not en- 
tangled again with die "* yoke of bondage. 

2 Behold, I Paul say unto you, tiiat = if ye be 
circumcised, Christ sliall profit j'ou nothing. 

3 For I testify again to every man tliat is cir- 
cumcised, that he is a "^ debtor to do the whole 
law. 

4 Clirist is become of no effect unto you, who- 



soever of 3'ou are justified by the law ; * ye are 
fallen from grace. 

5 For we thi-ough the Spirit wait for the 
^hope of righteousness by faith. 

6 For in Jesus Chiist neither circumcision 
availeth any thing, nor uncircumcision ; but faith 
s w^hich AAorkedi by lo-\ e. 

7 Ye did mn well ; J\ who did hinder you, 
that j'^e should not obey die tmth? 

8 Tliis persuasion cometh not of || him that 
calleth you. 

9 *^ A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump. 

10 I have confidence in you dii-ough the Lord, 
that ye \\-ill be none othen^ise minded ; but he 
diat troubleth you shall bear his judgment, who- 
soever he be. 

_ 11 And I, bredii'en, if I yet preach circum- 
cision, why do I yet suffer 'persecution? then 
is die oflfence "^ of die cross ceased. 

12 I would they were e^-en cut off \^•hich 
trouble you. 

13 For, brethren, ye have been called unto 
liberty"; only use not liberty- for an ^ occasion to 
the flesh, but by Ioa'C serve one anodier, 

14 For all tlie ™ law is fulfilled in one word, 
even in this, " Thou shalt lo^^e thy neighbour as 
thyself. 

15 But if ye bite and devour one another, take 
heed that ye be not consumed one of anodier. 

16 This I say dien, Walk in tlie Spirit, and 
II ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 

17 For the flesh lusteth ° against the Spirit, and 
the Spirit against the flesh : and these ai-e con* 
traiy tlie one to the other ; so that ye p cannot do 
the things that ye Avould. 

18 But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye ai-e not 
imder the lavr. 

19 NoM" the '' works of die flesh are manifest, 
^A^hich are these ; Adulterj-, fornication, unclean- 
ness, lasci-\-iousness, 

20 Idolatiy, witchcraft, hati-ed, variance, emu- 
lations, A\i-ath, stiife, seditions, heresies, 

_ 21 Envyings, muiders, drunkenness, revel- 
lings,- and such like : of the \\hich I tell you be- 
fore, as I IiaA-e also told you in time past, that 
tliej' \Ahich do such things, shall not inherit the 
kingdom of God. 

22 But die ' fruit of the Spirit is love, jov, 
peace, long-suffering, gendeuess. goodness, 
faith, 

23 Meekness, temperance : against sucli there 
is no hw. 

24 And they that are Clirist's have * crucified 
the fl.esh, ^ith the |I affections and lusts. 

25 If we * live in the Spirit, let us also walk in 
the Spirit. 

26 Let us not be desirous of " ^-ain-glory, pro- 
\'oking one another, envying one anotlier.

Paul txhorteth to bear each otlicr^s bura'ais, GAL 

BRKTHREN, !| if a man be overtaken in a 
fault, yc \\ hicii aie * spiritual, restore such 
an or\c in the •" spirit of meekness ; considering 
tliysclf, lest thou also be tempted. 

2 Bear ye "^ one anotlier's burdens, and so ful- 
fil the law of Christ. 

3 For if a man think lumsclf to be something, 
when lie is nothing, lie decei^'eth himself. 

4 But let c\er>' m:m prove his own work, and 
then shall he luive rejoicing in himself alone, and 
^ not in miother. 

5 For ' every man shall bear his own burden. 

6 ^ Let him duit is taught in the word, com- 
municate unto him that tcachetli, in all good 
things- 

7 Be not deceived ; God is not mocked : for 
whatsoever a man sow cth, « tliat shall he also 
reap. 

8 For he thiit soweth to his flesh, shall of the 
flesh reap corruption : but he thiit soweth to 
the Spirit, shall of the Spirit reap life everlast- 
ing. 

9 And ^ let us not be weaiy in ^\ ell-doing : 
for in due season we sliall reap, if we laint 
not. 

10 As \\e have, therefore, opportunity', let 



ATL\NS. and to be liberal to teachers, 

fl us do g(X)d unto all 7ne?i, especially unto diem 
A\ho are of ' the household of faith. 

1 1 Ye sec how large a letter 1 Ya.\t written unto 
you witli mine ow n hand. 

12 As many as desire to make a fair shew in 
die flesh, they constrain you to Ix^ circimicised ; 
'' only lest they should suffer persecution for die 
cross of Christ. 

13 For neither they themsehes who are cir- 
cumcised, keep the law ; but desire to ha\e you 
circumcised, diat dity may glory in your flesh. 

14 But G(xl forbid duit 1 should glon-, • save 
in the cross of our Lord Jesus Clirist, H by whom 
die world is crucified unto me, luid 1 "" unto die 
world. 

15 For in Christ Jesus neither circumcision 
availcdi any thing, nor imcircimicision, but " a 
ne\v creature. 

16 And as many as walk "according to this 
rule, peace be on them, and mercy, and upon the 
p Israel of God. 

17 From henceforth let no man trouble me; for 
I "* bear in my bod>- the marks of the Lord Jesus. 

18 Brethren, the grace of our Lord Jesus 
Christ be with ' your spirit. Amen.

4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great

5 Even when we -^vere dead in sins, hath 
quickened "^ us together with Christ ; (by grace 
ye are saved;) 

6 And hath raised tis up together, and made

7 That in the ages to come, he might shcAv the

T THEREFORE, (nhc prisoner llofthc Lord,) 
1 t)e.seech j-&u that ye •" walk worthy of the 
vocation wheicw iih ye are called, 

2 With all lowliness and meekness, withlong-

3 l"'.n(ieavouring to keep the unity of the Spi- 
rit in the "= bond of peace. 

4 There is one body, and one Spirit, even as 
ye are called in '^ one hope of your calling ; 

5 One Lord, one faith, one baptism, 

• One God arid Father of all, who is alx)ve 
all, and through a!l, and in you iUl. 

7 But unto even.- one of us is given grace 
'according to the measure of the gift of Christ. 

8 Whcrerore he saith, •= When he ascended 
up on high, he led |1 captivity captive, and gave 
gifrs vinto men. 

9 (No\\ ** that he ascended, what is it but 
tint he also descended first into the lower parts 
ofthee:irlh? 

10 He that descended, is the sanu- also that 
ascended up, far alx>ve all heavens, tJi.it he 
might p fill all things.) 

11 '-Vnd he gave some, apostles; and some, 
prophets; and some, cv;mgelists ; and some, 
pastors and teachers ; 

1 2 For the perfecting of the saints, ' for the 
work of tile ministr>-, for the cdii^ing of the 
*br:dy of Christ; . . , .., 

13 Till we all come l! inthe unit>- of the faitli, 
and of the knowledge of the Son ol God, unto a 
pcri'ect man, unto the measure of the || stature 
of the fblness of Christ ; * 



to put on the new man. 

14 That we henceforth be no n^oie children, 
' tossed to and fro, and canied al out ^^ ith every 
wind of doctrine, by die sleight of men, andcnn- 
ning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to de- 
cei\e ; 

15 But " II speaking tlic truth in love, may 
gro^v up into him in all things, which is the head, 
e^en Christ ; 

16 "From whom die whole body fidy joined 
together, and compacted by diat which every 
joint supplietli, according to the effectual w ork- 
ing in the measure of every piut, maketh in- 
crease of the body, unto the edifying of itself in 
love. 

17 This I say, therefore, and testify in the 
Lord, that ye henceforth walk ° not as other 
Gentiles walk, in the vanity of tlieir mind ; 

18 Having the understanding darkened, be- 
ing alienated from the life of God, through the 
ignorance that is in them, because of the ''|| blind- 
ness of their heart: 

19 Who, being past feeling, ha^'e ' given 
themselves over unto lasciviousness, to work all 
uncleanncss with greediness. 

20 But ye have not so learned Christ ; 

21 If so be that ye have heard him, and have 
been taught by him, as the truth is in Jesus ; 

22 That ye "^put off, concerning the former 
conversation, the old man, which is coirupt ac- 
cording to the deceitful lusts ; 

23 And • be renew ed in the spirit of j-our mind : 

24 And that ye put on the new man, wliich, 
after God, is created in righteousness and ||true 
holiness. 

25 Whei-efore, putting away lying, 'speak 
every man truth w ith his neighbour : for wc arc 
members one of another. 

26 " Be ye angry, and sin not ; let not the sun 
go down upon your w rath ; 

27 " Neither give place to the devil. 

28 Let him that stole, steal no more : but ra- 
ther let him labour, w orking u ith his liands the 
thing whic'h is good; that he may have || to give 
to him that ncedcth. 

29 Let no coirupt communication proceed 
out of your mouth, but diat which is good || to 
the use of edifjing, that it may minister grace 
vuito the heaiers. 

30 And ''grieve not the holy Spirit of God, 
whereby ye are * scaled unto the d;ty of redemp- 
tion. 

31 Let iJl bitterness, and wrath, and anger, 
and clamour, and caII- speaking, be put away 
from you, with all malice : 

32 'And be ye kind one to anodicr, tender- 
hearted, forgiving one anodier, "even as God 
ibr Clirist's sake hath f(jrgHCn you.

E ye, therefore, * followers of God, as dear 
children : 

2 And ^ walk in love, as Christ also hath 
loved us, and hath given himself for us, an of- 
fering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet-smell- 
ing savour. 

3 But ■= fornication, and all uncleanness, or 
co^'etousness, let it not be once named among 
vou, as becometh saints ; 

4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor 
jesting, which are not "^ convenient : but rather 
giving of thanks. 

5 For this ye know, that no whoremonger, 
nor unclean person, nor covetous man, who is 
c.ii idolater, hath any inheritance in * the king- 
dom of Christ and of God. 

6 Let no man deceive you with vain words : 
for because of these things comeththe ^ wrath of 
God upon the children of || disobedience. 

7 Be not ye, therefore, partakers with them. 

8 For ye were sometimes darkness, but now 
are ye light in the Lord : walk as ^ children of 
light: 

9 (For the fruit of the Spirit is in all goodness, 
and righteousness, and truth ;) 

10 Proving what is acceptable unto the Lord. 

11 And have no ** fellowship with the unfruit- 
ful works of darkness, but rather reprwe them. 

12 For it is a shame even to speak ' of those 
tilings which are done of them in secret, 

13 But all things that are || reproved, are 
••made manifest by the light : for whatsoever doth 

make manifest, is light. 

14 Wherefore he saith, ^ Awake, thou that 
sleepest, and arise from the dead, and Christ 
shall give thee light. 

• 15 ' See then that j'e w^alk circumspectly, not 
as fools, but as wise, 

mcoi.4.«. 16 "" Redeeming the time, because the days 

n 2Tin^ are " evil. 

17 Wherefore be ye not unwise, but under- 
standing what the Vviil of the Lord is. 

oProv. 23. 18 And be not ° drunk with wine, wherein is 

'^'^'^ excess : but be filled with the Spirit ; 

19 Speaking to yourselves in psalms, and 

\^^ hymns, and ^ sp-iriuial songs, singing and mak- 

coi. 3'. ift. ing melody in your heait to the Lord ; 

jamei5.i3. ^Q Giving thanks always for all things unto 
God and the Father, in the name of our Lord 
Jesus Christ ; 

21 Submitting yourselves, one to another, in 
the fear of God. 

^tas'l's'' ^^ •* Wives, submit yourselves unto your own 
husbands, as unto the Lord. 

23 For "■ the husband is the head of the wife, 
even as Christ is the head of the church ; and 
he is the Saviour of the body. 

24 Therefore, as the church is subject unto 
Christ, so let the wives be to their ow n husbands 
in every thing. 

25 * Husbands, love your w ives, even as

self for it;

28 So ought men to love their wives as their 
own bodies : he that loveth his wife ioA-eth 
^ himself, 

29 For no man ever yet hated his own f.esh ; 
but nourisheth and cherisheth it, e-ven as the

gospel ; 

28 And in nothing terrified by your adversa- 
ries : which is to them an evident " token of per- 
dition, but to jou of salvation, and that of God. 

29 For unto you it is * given in the behalf of

1 He exhorteth them to unity, and to all humble- 
nessofmind, by the example of Chrisfs humility 
and exaltation: 12 to a careful proceeding in the 
way ofsahation, that they be as lights to the 
nvickedivorld, 16 and comforts to him their apos- 
tle, -who is 720VJ ready to be offered up to God. 
19 He hopeth to send Timothy to them, i\)hom 
he greatly commendeth, 25 as Epaphroditus 
also, ivhom he presently sendeth to them. 

IF there be, therefore, any consolation in Christ, 
if any comfort of love, if any ' fellov\ship of 
die Spirit, if any bowels and rAercies, 

2 ''Fulfil ye my joy tliat ye belike-minded, 
having the same \o\t, 'being of one accord, of one

3 Let nothing be done through "= sti'ife or vam-

other better than themseh es . 

• 4 Look not every man on '^his owv. things, but 
every- man also on the things of others. 

5 Let tliis mind be in you, which ^ was also in 
. Clirist Jesus ; 

6 Who, being in tlie ^form of God, thought 
it not robbery to be equal with God ; 

7 But made himself of no reputation, and took 

• upon him the fonn of a » servant, and \\as made 
in the || likeness of men : 

8 And, being found in fashion as a man, he 
humbled himself, and became obedient unto 
death, e\en the death of the cross. 

9 Wherefore God also hath ''higlily exalted 
. him, and given liim a name ' ^vhich is above 

CA'ery name ; 

10 That at the name of Jesus '' e\ery knee 
should bow, of things in hea\en, and things in 
earth, and things under the eaith ; 

1 1 And t/iat every ' tongue should confess, that 
Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glor>' of God the 
Father. 

12 W'herefore, my beloved, as ye have al- 
wa\s obeyed, not as in my presence only, but 
no^\■ much more in my absence, work out your 
own sahation \\\\h iccir and trembling : 

13 For it is God " ^\•hich worketh in you, 
both to will and to do o'i his good pleasure.

a crooked and per\ erse nation, among whom

26 For -"' he longed after you all, and was full ^- ^^

28 I sent him, therefore, the more carefi.illy, 
that, when ye see him again, ye may rejoice, and 
that I may be the less son-owful. 

29 Receive him, therefore, in the Lord, with 

all gladness, and il hold such in reputation : a or,

PAUL, * an apostle of Jesus Chiist, by the

2 To the saints and '' faithful brethren in Christ 
which are at Colosse : " Gmce be unto you, and

Christ. 

3 We give thanks to God and die Father 
of our Lord Jesus Cliiist, praying always for 

you, 

4 Since we ■* heard of your faidi in Christ

5 For the hope which is ' kiid up for you in 
heaven, whereof ye heard before in the w^ord of 
the truth of the gospel : 

6 Which is come unto you, as it is in *' all the

in you, since the daj^ ye heard of it, and knew

7 As ye also learned of ^ Epapliras, our dear 
fellow- servant, who is for you a iaithfril minister 
of Christ ; 

8 Who also decUured unto us your 'love in the

9 For this cause we also, since the day wt.

tion, with joy of the Holy Ghost : 

7 So that ye were ensamples to all that believe 
in Macedonia and Achaia. 

8 For from you sounded out the word of the 
Lord, not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but 
also in every place your faith to God-ward is 
' spread abroad ; so that we need not to speak 
any thing. 

9 For *:hey themselves shew of us what man-

ye turned to God from idols, to serve the livhig

retidcrcd both rjht/ Saint Paul ivas so long ab- 
sent from them, and also ivhij he -ivas so desirous 
to sec them. 

FOR "" yourselves, brethren, kiiou our en- 
triMicc in unto j ou, that it w as not in vain : 

2 But even after thut ve had suffered before, 
anfl were shamvl'ully <. ntn ated, as \e know, at 
'' riiilippi, we were l)old in our God to speak 
luito you the gospel of God, with nuich ' eon- 
teiition. 

3 For our exhortation ivas not of deceit, nor 
of uneleanncss, nor in guile ; 

4 But as we were allow ed of God to be put in 
U'ust w ith the gospel, even so we speak, not as 
plecislng men, but God, which trieth our hearts. 

5 For neither at any time used we flattering 
\Vor'ds, as ye know, nor a cloak of covetousness : 
^ God is witness. 

6 Nor of men sought we glory, neither of you, 
nor ijet of others, when we might have || been 
burdensome, as the apostles of Christ. 

7 Bui we were gentle among you, even as a 
nurse ehcrisheth her children : 

8 So, being affectionately desirous of you, we 
were w illing to ha\e imparted unto >ou, not the 
gospel of (iodonly, ' but also our own souls, be- 
cause ye w ere dear unto us. 

9 r or ye remember, brethren, our labour and 
travail: for '^ labouring night and da\", becau.se 
we would not be chargeable unto any of you, we 
preached unto you the go.spel of God. 

10 Yc ^ are witnesses, and God also, how ho- 
lily, and jusdy, and unblameably we behaved 
ourselves among \ ou that believe : 

11 As ye know, how we exhorted, and com- 
forted, and charged e\ery one of you, (as a fa- 
ther '' doth his children,) 

12 ' That ye w ould w alk worthy of God, who 
hath called \o\\ unto his kingdom and glory. 

13 For this cause also thank we God '' with- 
otit ceasing, because, w hen ye received the word 
of CjocI, which ye heard of us, ye received /'/ 

. not as the word of men, ' but (as it is in truth) 
the word of God, which cftectually worketh al- 
so in yon that believe. 

1-1 For ye, brethren, became followers of the 
fhurchts of God, "" which in Judea are in Christ 
Jesus : for ye also have suft'ered like things of 
your own countrymen, even as they have of the 
.lews ; 

15 Who bo'h killed the Lord Jesus and 
their ow n prophets, and have || persecuted us ; 
and they please not God, and are contrary to 
all men ; 

IC) " Forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles, 
that they might Ix- saved to " fill ui) their sins 
alway : ^for the wrath is come upon them to the 
uttermost. 

17 But we, brethren, being taken from you 
for a short time in presence, not in heart, endea- 
voured the more abundantly tosee your face w ith 
great desire. 

18 Wherefore we would have come unto you 
(even I Paul) once and again, '^ but Satan hin- 
dered us.

1 Saint Paid tcstifieth his great loxe to the Tbessa- 
lonians ; partly by seiuling Timothi/ wito them to 
straigtben and comfort them; partly by rejoicing 
in their wcU-doing ; 10 and partly by praying 
for them, and desiring a safe coming unto them. 

■f ^7HKUEFORE, when we could no longer 
V V ' forbear, we thought it good to be left at 

^ Athens alone, 

2 And sent ' Timolheus our brother, and min- 
ister of God, and our fellow -labourer in the gos- 
pel of Christ, to establish you, and to comfort 
you concerning >our faith ; 

3 That no man shouUl be moved by these 
afllictious : for yourselves know tliat we are ** ap- 
pointed thereunto. 

4 For verily, when we were with you, wc 
told you before that we should sufler tiibulation, 
even as it came to pass, and ye kno\v. 

5 For this cans.-, w hen I ' could no longer for- 
bear, I sent to know your faith, lest by sonn 
means the ^ temj^ter have tempted you, and our 
labour be in vain. 

6 But now, when Timothcus came from ycni 
unto us, and brought us good tidings of your 
faith ancl charity, and that ye ha\e good remem- 
brance of us alwa\s, desiring gieatly to sec us, 
as we also to see you ; 

7 Therefore, brethren, we w ere ^ comforted ^\^Z 
over you in all our affliction and distress by your ^- "• 
faith • 

8 For now we live, if ye ''standfast inthc Lord. •* ™'"^ 

9 For what thanks can ^\■e render to God again 
for you, for all the joy wherewith we joy for 
your sakcs before our God ; 

10 ' Night and da\- praying exceedingly that 'i.-j^" 
we '' might see join- face, and might perfect that vRoni. 
which is lacking in your fhith .' 

1 1 Now God himself, and our Father, and our 
Lord J( sus Christ, || direct our way unto you. |„"J;_ 

12 And the Lord make you to increase and M«ri«»-3 
abound in love one towards another, and to- 
wards all men, even as we do tow ards you ; 

13 To the i:\v\ he may ' stablish your hearts icor.

2 For ye know what commajidments we gave 
you by the Lord Jesus. 

3 Foi- this is '' the will of God, even your " sanc- 
tificatioii, thac ye should '^abstain fi-om forai- 
ca' ion : 

4 I'hat eveiy one of you should know ho\\' to 
possess his \'essei in sanctification and honour ; 

5 Not in the lust " of coiicupiscence, even as 
the Gentiles which kno^v not God : 

' 6 That no man go beyond and || defraud his 
bio her j] in any matter; because that die Lord 
is ^ the avenger of all such, as we also have fore- 
Manied you, and testified. 

7 For God hath not called us unto uucleanness, 
s but u ito holiness. 

S He, therefore, that j| despiseth, despiseth not 
man, but God, \\ho hath also given unto us his 
holy Spirit. 

9 But as touching brotherly love, ye need not 
that I write unto jou; for ye yourselves are 
'* taught of God to lG^'e one another. 

10 Ar.d indeed ye do it toA\-aids all the bi'e- 
thren which are in all Macedonia : but we be- 
seech you, brethren, that ye ' increase more and 
more ; 

1 1 Ar.d that ye study to be quiet, aixl to do 
^ your own business, and to work with your 
ow n hands, as we commanded you : 

12 That ye may w alk ' honestly to\\"ard them 
that are without, and tbat ye may have lack || of 
nothing. 

13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, 
biethren, concerning them ^^ hich are asleep, that 
ye sorrow not, "" even as others ^vhich have no 
hope. 

14 For if we believe that Jesus died, and rose 
again, e\ en so " them also which sleep in Jesus 
will God bring with him. 

15 For this we -say unto j'ou by the word of 
the Lord, that v\e which are " alive, aw^ remain 
.unto the coming of the Lord, shall not p prevent 
them which are asleep. 

16 For the Lord himself shall descend from 
hea\'cn with a shout, with the voice of the arch, 
angel, and ^vith i the trump of God : and the 
dead in Christ shall rise first. 

17 Then we, which are alive and remain, 
shall be caught up together with tliem in "■ the 
clouds, to meet the Lord in the air : ' and so 
shall we ever be with the Lord. 

18 Wherefore, ' comfort one another with 
these words.

we' commanded you, *= that if any would not 
work, neitiier should he eat. 

11 For we hear that there are \some vv^hich 
walk among you disorderly, '" working not at all,

CHAP. I. 

1 Timothy is put in mind of the charge which ivas 
given unto him by Paul, at his going to Mace- 
donia. 9 Of the right use a?id end of the lav:. 
11 Of Saint Paul's calling to be cm apostle: 
20 and of Hymeneus and Alexander. 

PAUL, an apostle of Jesus Christ, ^ by the 
commandment of ^ God cur Saviour, 
and Lord Jesus Christ, which is our 
hope ; 

2 Unto Timothy, my " own son in the faith : 
^ Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Fa- 
ther, and Jesus Christ our Lord. 

3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephe- 
sus, ' vv'hen I went into Macedonia, that thou 
mightest charge some that they teach no other 
doctrine ; 

4 'Neither give he-id to fables, and endless 
genealogies, which minister questions rather than 
godly edifying which is in faith ; so do. 

5 Now the end of the commandment is ^ cha- 
rity out of a pure heart, and of a good consci- 
ence, and (?/' faith unfeigned ; _ 

6 From which some |j having swerved, have 
turned aside unto ^ vain jangling : 

7 Desiring to be teachers of the law ; under- 
standing neither what they say, nor whereof they 
affirm. 



8 But we know that the lav/ ' is good, if a man 
tise it lawfully ; 

9 Knowing this, ^ that the law is not made for 
a righteous man, but for the lawless and dis- 
obedient, for the ungodly and for ^ sinners, for 
unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and 
murderers of mothers, for manshyers, 

10 For whoremongers, for them that defile 
themselves with mankind, for men- stealers, for 
liars, for perjured persons, and if there be any 
other thing that is contrary to sound doctrine ; 

11 According to the glorious gospel of the 
"" blessed God, "wliich was committed tomytrust. 

12 And I thank C'hrist Jesus our Lord, who 
hath enabled me, for that he counted me fiiitli- 
ful, putting me into the ministry ; 

13 Who was before a "blasphemer, and a 
p persecutor, and injurious : but I obtained mer- 
cy, because I did // ^ ignorantly in unbelief. 

14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding 
abimdant with faith and love whicli is in Christ 
Jesus. 

15 This is a faithful ;-aying, and worthy of all 
acceptation, that ' Chiist Jesus came irlto the 
world to save sinners ; of whom I am chief. 

16 Howbeit, for this cause 1 = obtained mercy, 
that in me first Jesti;. Christ might shtw forth 
all long-suPicring, tor a pattern to them whicii

15 They shall be saved notwithstanding the tes-

2 For ^ kiPigs, and/w all that are in || autho-

8 I \\'\U, theivfore, that men pray cveiy where,

9 In like manner also, that ' women adoin

10 Hut (which becometh women professing

11 Let the woman learn in silence with all

12 But I suffer not a woman 'to teach, nor "" to 
usuip authority over the man, but to be in silence.

15 This thou knowest, that all they Avhich are |i 
in Asia be "turned a'>vay from me ; of whom are j! 
Phygellus and Hermogenes. 

16 The Lord give mercy unto the * house of 
Onesiphorus ; for he oft refreshed me, and ^\ as 
not ashamed ^ of my chain : 

17 But, w hen he was in Rome, he sought me 
out \'ery diii. gently, and found me. 

18 The Lord grant unto him that he may find 
mercy of the Lord, in ^ that day : and in how 
many things he ministered unto me at Ephesus, 
thou knowest verv well. 

CHAP. H. 

I He is exhorted again to comtancy and per sever, 
ance, and to do the duty of a faithful semant of 
the Lord., in dividing the ivord aright., arid shim- 
ning profane and vain babblings. 1 7 Of Hyme- 
neus and PhUetus. 19 The foundation of the 
ford is sure. 22 He is taught whereof to beivare, 
and vchat to folloxv after, and in what sort the 
servant of the Lord ought to behave himself. 

THOU, therefore, *my son, be strong in the 
gi'ace that is in Christ Jesus. 

2 And the things that thou hast heard of me 

II among many witnesses, the same commit thou 
to ^ faithful men, who shall be able to teach 
others also. j 

3 Thou, therefore, endure hardness, as "^ a 
good soldier of Jesus Christ. I 

4 No man that warreth, ^entangleth himself- 
%with the affairs of this life ; that he may please 
*'him w ho hath chosen him to be a soldier. 

5 And if a man also ^ strive for masteries, yet 
is he not crowned, except he strive lawfully. 

6 y The husbandman that laboureth, must be 
first partaker of the fruits.

3 '^ Grace to you, and peace, from God our 
Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ. 

4 T I thank my (iod, makin'.r mention of thee 
always in my prayers, 

5 Hearing of ihy '^love and faith, which thou 
hast toward the Lord Jesus, and toward all 
saints; 

6 That the comminiication of thy faith may 
become eft'cctual, ^ by the acknowledging of eve- 
ry good thing which is in you in Christ Jesus. 

7 For we ha\e great joy and consolation in thy 
lo\ e, because the bowels of the saints are ^ re- 
freshed by tliee, brother. 

8 \\ herefore, though I might be much bold 
in Christ, to enjoin thee that \\ hich is conve- 
nient ; 

V Yet for love's sake, I rather lx..seech fhee, 
being such an one as Paul the aged, and now lU- 
so a ' prisoner of Jesus Christ. 

10 ilKseech thee for my son ^ Onesimus, 
w horn I ' have begotten in my bonds : 

1 1 \\ hich in time past was to thee unprofita- 
ble, but now profitable to thee and to me ; 

12 Whom 1 have sent again : thou therefore 
rcceivi him, that is, mine own bowels ; 

13 Whom 1 would have retained with me, 



that in " thy stead he might have ministered un- 
to me in the bonds of the gospel : 

14 But without thy mind would I do nothing; 
that thy Ix^nefit should not be as it were of ne- 
cessity, " but willingly. 

15 For ° perhaps he therefore departed for a 
season, that thou shouldest receive him forever ; 

16 Not now as a servant, but above a servant, 
^ a bro'her belo\ed, specially to me ; but how 
much more unto thee, both h\ the flesh, and in 
the Lord ? 

17 If thou count me, therefore, a 'partner, 
receive him as myself. 

18 If he hath wronged thee, or owctli thee 
aught, put that on mine account : 

19 I Paul ha\e written it with mine own 
hand, I will repay /'/; albeit I do not say to thee, 
how thou owest unto me even thine owiisclf 
besides. — 

20 Yea, brother, let me have joy of thee in the 
Lord : ' refresh my bowels in the Lord. 

21 Having 'confidence in thy obedience, I 
wrote unto thee, knowing diat thou wilt also do 
more than I s:\\". 

22 But w ithal prepare me also a lodging : for 
I trust tluit ' through your prayers, I shall iit 
gi% en unto you. 

23 '1 here salute thee " Epaphras, my fello\v-

CHAP. L 

1 Christ in these last times coming to- us from the 
Father., 4 is preferred above the au^e/s, both in 
person and office. 

GOD, who at sundr\" times, and " in divers 
manners, spake in lime past unto the fa- 
thers, by the prophets, 

2 Hath in ''these last days .spoken unto us 
by his Son, whom he lialli ' apjx)inled heir 
of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 

3 ''Who, being the brighness of his glor>', 
an<l the express image of his person, and ' up- 
holding all things ly tlie word of his pgfiver, 
when he had by himself ptirgcd our sins, sat 
down on the right hand of the Majesty on 
high ; 

4 Being made so much ^ better than the angels. 




as he hath by inheritance oljtained a more excel- 
lent name linn they. 

5 For vmto which of the angels said he at any ^ ^^^^^ 
time, 8 Thou art my Son, this day have I begot- 2.7^^^ ^^ 
ten thee .'' And ajrain, '' I will be to him a Fatlier, ch!!|,. V. s." 
and he shall Ix' to me a Son .' 5»;"'- 

6 And again, when he briiigeth in the first-l^e- "Cbrco. 
gotten into the world, he saith, ' .Vnd let all the f^m 
angels of God worship him. ip«im. 

7 And of the angels he saith, ^ \Vho maketh 97^^^ 
his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire. 104.4.°'* 

8 But unto the Son he saith, ' Thy dirone, O ;^p«ji^« 
God, is for ever and ever ; a sceptre of 1 ngh- tcr* ' 
teousncss/^ the sceptre of thy kingdom : _ "^Ina'i^,. 

9 Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated in- ""»• 
iquity ; therefore God, even thy God, hath anoint- 
ed ihce w'iUi the oil of gladness above thy felIo\\s.

Christ preferred before angels: CHAP 

10 And, •" 'Ihou, Lord, in the beginning hast 
laid the foundation of the earth ; and the heavens 
are the works of thine hands : 

11 "They shall perish, but thou remainest ; 
and they all shall wax old as doth a garment ; 

12 And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, 
and thcj' shall be changed : but thou art ° the 
same, and thy years shall not fail. 

13 But to which of the angels said he at any 
time, ^ Sit on my right hand, until I make thine 
enemies thy footstool .'' _ 

14 Ai'e they not all ministering spirits, i sent 
forth to minister for them who shall be '' heirs of 
salvation ? 

CHAP. n. 
^1 We ought to be obedient to Christ Jesus, 5 a?id 
that because he iiouchsafed to take our nature up- 
on him, 14 as it was necessary. 

THEREFORE we ought to give the more 
earnest heed to the things which we have 
heard, ^'lest at any time we should f let the7n 
slip. 

2 For if the word spoken by ^ angels was sted- 
fast, and every transgression and disobedience 
received ajust recompence of reward ; 

3 How shall we escape, if Vv:e neglect so great 
salvation ; which at the ' first began to be spoken 
by the Lord, and was confirmed unto us by them 

• "^ that heard him : 

4 God also bearing them witness, both with 
signs and wonders, and with divers miracles, and 
l! gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his ovv^n 
will .? 

5 For unto the angels hath he not put in sub- 
jection ^the world to come, whereof we speak. 

6 But one in a certain place testified, saying, 
*" What is man that thou art mindful of him ? or 
the son of man that thoii visitest him ? 

7 Thou madest him || a little lower than the an- 
gels ; thou crowneclst him wich glory and honour, 
and didst set him over the works of thy hands : 

8 2 Thou hast put all things in subjection un- 
der his feet. For in that he put all in subjection 
under Jiim, he left nothing that is not put under 
him. -But now we see not yet all things put un- 
der him : 

9 But we see Jesus, who was made a ^ little 
lower than the angels, |i for ihe suffering of death, 
crowned with glory and honour ; that he, by the 
grace of God, should taste 'death for every man. 

10 For it became him, ''for whom are all 
things, and by whom are all things, in bringing 
many sons unto glory, to make the captain of 
their salvation ' perfect through sufferings ; 

11 For both he that sanctifieth, and they who 
are sanctified, are all '" of one : for which cause 
he is not ashamed to call them brethren ; 

12 Saying, " I will declare thy name unto my 
brethren : in the midst of the. church will I sing 
praise unto thee. 

13 And again, ° I will put my trust in him. 
And again, f Behold, I, and the children which 

. God hath given me. 

14 Forasmuch then as the children are partak- 
ers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise 



n. III. obedience due to him. 

■J took part of the same; that " through death he 
might destroj'' him that had the power of death, 
that is, the devil ; , 

15 'And deliver them, who, through fear of: 
death, were all their life-time subject to bon- I 
dage. _ ; 

1 6 For verily f he took not on him. the nature \ 
ij/' angels; but he took on him the seed of Abra- ' 
ham. ' 

17 Wherefore in all things it beho^'ed him to ' 
be made like unto his brethren ; that he niight ; 
be a ^ merciful and faithful high priest, in things » 
pertaining to God, to make reconciliation for the \ 
sins of the people. 

18 For in that he himself hath suffered, being 
tempted, he is " able to succour them that are 
tempted. 

CHAP. HL 
1 Christ is more ivorthy than Moses: 7 therefore 
ifive believe not in him we shall be more worthy 
of putiishment than hard-hearted Israel. 

WHEREFORE, holy brethren, fDartakers of 
the "" heavenly calling^ consider the Apos- 
tle and High Priest of our profession, Christ 
.lesus; 

2 Who was faithful to him that f appoint- 
ed him, as also ^ Moses voas faithfid m all his 
house. 

3 For this m^w was counted worthy of more 
glory than Moses, inasmuch as he " who hath 
buiided the house, hath more honour than the 
house. 

4 For every house is buiided by some man; 
but he that built '^ all things, is God. 

5 And Moses verily nx)as faitliful in all his 
house * as a servant, for a testimony of those 
tilings v/hich were to be spoken after ; 

6 But Christ as a ^ Son over his own house ; 
whose house are we, if we hold fast the confi- 
dence and the rejoicing of the hope, firm unto 
the end. 

7 Wherefore, fas the Holy Ghost saith, s To- 
day if ye will hear his voice, 

8 Harden not your hearts, as in the provoca- 
tion, in the day of temptation in the wilder- 
ness : 

9 When your ^ fathers tempted me, proved 
me, and saw my works forty years. 

10 Wherefore 1 was grieved with that genera- 
tion, and said. They do always err in their heart ; 
and ' they have not known my \vays. 

11 So I sware in my wrath, t They shall not 
enter into my rest:) 

12 Take heed, brethren, lest there be in any 
of you an evil heart of unbeli.jl\, in departing from 
the living God. 

13 ''But exhort one another daily, while it is 
called To-day ; lest any of you be hardened 
through the deceitfuiness of sin. 

14 For we are made partakers of Christ, ' if 
we hold the beginning of our confidence stedfast 
unto the end ; 

_ 15 While it is said, •" To-day if ye will hear 
his voice, harden not your hearts, as in the pro- 
vocation.

16 " I'or some, when tlit- j' had heard, did pro- 
voke ; howlxit, not all th:it came out of Egypt 
by Moses. 

17 But with wlionf was he grieved forty years ? 
was it not with them that had sinned, "whose 
carcases fell in the w ildemess .-' 

18 And to whom •" sware he, that they should 
not enter into his rest, but to them diat believed 
not ? 

19 So we see that they could not enter in, 
1 1xcause of unbelief. 

CHAP. IV. 

I The rest of Christians is attained by faith. 12 
The pcnvtr of God^s nuord. 14 By our High 
Priest fesi/s the Son of God, subject to infirmi- 
ties, but not to sin, IG xvemust and may go bold- 
ly to the throne of grace. 

L\\\ us therefore ' fear, lest a promise being 
lift us of entering into his rest, any of you 
should seem to ^ come short of it. 

2 For unto us was the gospel preached as well 
as inito them : but f the word preached did not 
profit tlu m, H not being mixed w ith faith in them 
that heard it. 

3 t or we w hich have believed, do enter into 
rest: as he said, " As I have sworn in my wrath, 
If they shall enter into my rest : although the 
\'. oiks were finished from the foundation of tlie 
world. 

4 For he spake in a certain place of the seventh 
day on this wise, ^ And God did rest the seventh 
da}' fiom all his works. 

5 And in Wxvi, place again. If they shall enter 
into my rest. 

6 Seeing, therefore, it remaineth that some 
mustentertherein, and ''the5towhom !| itwasfirst 
preached, entered not in, because of imbelief : 

7 (Again, he limiteth a certain day, saying in 
David, '1 o-cUiy, after so long a time ; as it is said, 
•^ To-day if ye will hear his voice, harden not 
your hearts. 

8 For if II Jesus had given them rest, then 
would he not afterward have spoken of anodier 
day. 

y There remaineth, therefore, a || rest to the 
people of God. 

10 For he that is entered into his rest, he also 
hath ceased from his ow n w orks, * as God did 
from his.) 

. 1 1 Let us labour, therefore, to enter into that 
rest, lest any man fall after *" the same example of 

II unlx'lief. 

12 For the word of God is quick, and power- 
ful, and ' sh;irpcr than any two-edged sword, 
piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and 
spirit, and of tlie joints and marrow, and is a 
•■discenier of the thoughts and intents of the 
heart. 

13 Neither is there any creature that is not 
'manifest in his sixht : but all things r7/r "' naked, 
and opened ugto the eyes of him with whom wc 
have to do. 

14 Seeing then that we have a great High 
Priest, that is " passed into the heavens, Jesus die 
Son of God, " let us hold fast our profession. . 



HEBPvKWS. Of our Saviour's priesthood. 

15 For we ha\'e not an high priest w hich can- domTni 
not be touched w ith the feeling of our infirmi- ._ '^- _^ 
ties : but w as in all points tempted like as we are, " 
p yet without sin. pch»p. 

16 Let us, therefore, ^ come boldly unto theip«=»»« 
throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and "j^t"' 
find grace to help in time of need. ri^L"-

1 The authoriti/ and honour of our Saviour's priest- 
hood. 11 Negligence in the knowledge thereof 
is reproved. 

FOR every high prie.st taken from among 
men, is ordained for men in things pertain- 
ing to God, ' that he may offer both gifts and sa- acha^

2 Who il can have compassion on the ignorant, l°!i,'lh 
and on them that are out of the way; for that he *""" ■"'* 
himself also is '' compassed with infirmity. bchap.

4 ** And no man taketh this honour unto him- a jciiron.

5 So also Christ glorified not himself, to be 
made an high priest ; Ijut he that said unto him,

8 But that ° which beareth thorns and briers

9 But, beloved, we are persuaded better things 
of you, and things that accompany salvation, 
though v^e tlius speak. 

10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your 
P 1 Thea, p work Hud labour of love, which ye have shewed 

toward his name, in that ye liave ministered to 
the saints, and do minister. 

1 1 And Me desire that ever>' one of you do 
2. shew the same diligence to ^ the full assurance 

of hope unto the end ; • 

12 That ye be not slothful, but follow;ers of 
them, who through faith and patience ""inherit 
the promises. 

1 3 1 or V. hen. God made promise to Abraham, 
because he could swear by no greater, ' he sware 
by himself, 

14 Saying, Surely, blessing, I will bless thee ; 
and multiplying, I will multiply thee. 

15 And so, after he had patiently endured, he 
obtained the promise. 

16 For men verily sv/ear by the greater; and 
an oath for confirmation, is to them ' an end of 
all strife. 

17 W herein God, willing more abundandy to 
shew unto the " heirs of promise the ■'' immuta- 
bility of his counsel, t confirmed it by an oath : 

1 8 That by two immutable things, in which 
it \vas impossible for God to lie, we might have 
a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to 
lay hold upon ' the hope set before us : 

19 V\ hich hope we have as an anchor of the 
soul, both sure and stedfast, and which ^ entereth

have a commandment to take tithes of the 
people, according to the law, that is, of their 
brethren, though they come out of the loins of 
Abraham : 

6 But he, whose !| descent i.s not counted from 8 or,^^^ 
them, received ''tithes of Abraham, and ' blessed /cfn.'" 
him that had the promises. ' _ "^^^• 

7 And, without all contradiction, the less isu.ig.' 
blessed of the better. 

8 And here men that die receive tithes : but 
there he receiveth them, ^ of 
tliat he livcth. 

9 And, as I may so say, Levi also, wh' 
cei^-eth tithes, paid tithes in Abraham. 

10 For he ^as yet in the loins of his father, 
when Melchisedec met him. 

11 If, therefore, ^ perfection were by the Le- gcai. 
vitical priesthood, (for under it the people ve«e 
received the law,) what furtlier need ivas there cLp%. 7. 
that another priest should rise after the order of 
Melchisedec, and not be called after the order 

of Aaron .' _ • 

12 For the priesthood being changed, there is 
made of necessity a change also of the lav.\ 

13 For he, of- whom these things are spoken, 

^ pertaineth to another tribe, of which no man h Rev. 
gave attendance at the altar. 

14 For it is e%ident, that our Lord sprang out 

of Juda : ' of which tribe Moses spake nothing \^f^ 
concerning priesthood. " • Lutea. 33, 

15 And it is yet far more evident ; for that 
after the similitude of Melchisedec there ariseth 
another priest, 

16 Who is made, not after the law of a carnal 
commandment, but after the power of ^ an end- ^ verses 
less life. 

17 For he testifieth, » Thoii art a priest for ii^o'.'^I™ 
ever, after the order of Melchisedec. 

18 For there is verily a disannulling of the 
commandment going before, lor the "" weakness mRom. 
and unprofitableness thereof. _ cat. 4. 9.

CHAP. vni. 

1 By the eternal priesthood of Christy the Levitical 
priesthood of Aaron is abolished; 7 and the tem- 
poral covenant with the fathers, by the eternal 
covenant of the gospel. 
"^J'0\\ of the things which we have spoken, 
-L^ this is the sum : W'e have such an high 
priest, ''u ho is set on the right hand of the throne 
of tJK' Majesty in the heavens; 

2 A minister il of the sanctuary, and of the 
'' true tabernacle, ^^ hich the Lord intched, and 
not man. 

3 For every high priest is *= ordained to offer 
gifts and sacrifices : wherefore, it is of necessity 
that this man ha\ e "^ somew hat also to offer. 

4 For if he w ere on earth, he should not be 
a priest, seeing that |i there are priests that offer 
gifts according to the law : 

5 Who .ser\ e unto the example and ' sh?,dow 
of heavenly things, as Moses uas admonished 
of God, w hen he was about to make the taber- 
nacle : '^for. See, saitli he, that thou make all 
things according to the pattern shewed to thee 
in the mount. 

6 But now hath he obtained a « more excel- 
lent ministry, by how much also he is the medi- 
ator of a better !| covenant, which was establish- 
ed upon better promises. 

7 1 or if that lirst covenant had been ^ faultless, 
then should no place have been sought for the 
second. 

8 For finding fault w ith them, he saith, ' Be- 
hold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I 
will make a new covenant with the house of I 
Israel, and with the house of Judah : 

9 Not accortling to the covenant that I made 
wiih their fathers, in the day when I took them 
bv the hand to lead them out of the land of 
yiwt ; because they continued not in my 
cevmmt, and 1 regarded them not, saith the 
Lore!.

w ith the luiuse of Israel alter those daj s, saith 
the I.ord; I will t pnt my laws into Uieir mind, 
and write them h in their hearts: and I will be

CHAP. IX. 
1 The description of the rites and bloody sacrifices 
of the law, 1 1 far inferior to the dii^nity and 
perfection of the blood and sacrifice of Christ. 

THEN verily the first covenant had also || or- i^'-crt 
dinances of divine service, * and a worldly aEx'c^d, 
sanctuan*'. «• "• 

2 For there was a tabernacle made ; •* the first b exo4. 
wherein was the candlestick, and the table, and *"'* 
the shew-bread ; which iscalleel || The Sanctuary. \or.Hrif. 

3 And ' after the second vail, the tabernacle, ^^-^j'"'- 
which is called The Holiest of all ; ch»p.'«.i». 

4 Which had the goklen censer, and the ark 
of the covenant overlaid round about with golel, 
wherein was ''the golekii pot that had niarna,dF.xnd. 
and " Aaron's rod that buelded, and * the tables '*-^v 

r ^ . * Numb. 

ol the covenant ; i:. lo. 

5 And ^ over it the cherubims of glory sha- [J'^'V. 
dowing the merc5-seat ; of w hich we 
now speak particularly. 

6 Now , u hen these things were thus ordained, 
the priests went always into tlie iiist tabernacle, "•^' 
accomplishing the service of God: 

7 But into the second went die high priest 
alone ^ once every year, not without blood, h e«o*. 
w hich he offered for himself, and for the errors uv't.' 
of the people: ~ '*•*• 

8 The Holy Ghost this signifyii\g, ' that the [^^^^-^^ 
way into the holiest of all, w as not yet made 
manifest, while as the first tabernacle was yet 
standing : 

9 Which was a figtu'c for the time then pre- 
sent, in w hich \vere offered both gilts aiiel sacri- 
fices, that coulel not make hiin that elid the ser- 
vice ^ perfect, as pertaining to th.e conscience ; 

10 IVhich stood only in meats and drinks, and 
divers Avashings, and carnal || ordinances, impos- 
ed on than until the time of reformation. 

11 Hut Christ being come an high priest ' 
good diings to come, by a '" greater and more l^''^'^ 
perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that j* chap, 
is to say, not of this building; 

12 Neither by the blooel of goats and calves, 
but !)y his own blood, he entered in "once into nv 
the holy place, having obtained eternal reelemp 
tion./or US. 

13 For if "the blood of bulls, and of ge)ats, n^L«^t.

the redemption of the transgressions that ivere 
under the first testament, they ' which are called 
might receive the promise of eternal inheritance. 

16 For where a testament is, there must also 
of necessity II be the death of the testator. 

17 For a testament is *" of force after men are 
dead : otherwise it is of no strength at all while 
the testator liveth. 

18 ^Whereupon, neither the first testament was 
II dedicated wiihout blood. 

19 For when Moses had spoken every precept 
to all the people according to the law, he took 
the blood of calves, and of goats, with water, 
and il scarlet wool, and hyssop, and sprinkled 
both the book and all the people, 

20 Saying, "^ This is the blood of the testament 
which God hath enjoined unto you. 

21 Moreover, he sprinkled likewise with blood 
both the tabernacle, and all the vessels of the 
ministry. 

22 And almost all things are by the law purged 
with blood ; and ^ without shedding of blood is 
no remission. 

23 It nvas therefore necessary that '^ the pat- 
terns of things in the heavens should be purified 
with these ; but the heavenly things themselves 
with better sacrifices than these. 

24 For Christ is not * entered into the holy 
places made with hands, ivhichare the figures of 
the true; but into heaven itself, now ''to appear 
in the presence of God for us : 

25 Nor yet that he should offer himself often, 
" as the high priest entereth into the holy place 
every year with blood of others ; 

26 (For then must he oiten have suffered since 
the foundation of the world ;) but now "^ once in 
^ the end of the vrorld hath he appeared to put 
away sin, by the sacrifice of himself. 

27 And as it is appointed unto men once to 
die, but after this the judgment ; 

28 So e Christ was once offered to bear the 
sms of many ; and unto them that ^ look for him 
shall he appear the second time, without sin, 
unto salvation.

Xp OR the law having a shadow of ^ good things 
X to come, and not the very image of the 
thmgs, can never with those sacrifices, which 
they ottered year by year continually, make the 
comers thereunto ^ perfect : 

2 For then || would they not have ceased to be

purged, should have had no more conscience

thou wouldest not, neither hadst pleasure there- '^^''^'^•

O God. He taketh away the first, that he may 
establish the second. 

10 By the which will we are sanctified, ^through gc^ip. 
the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once 
for all. 

11 And every priest standeth daily minister- 
ing, and offering oftentimes the same sacrifices, 
** which can never take away sins : averse 4. 

12 But this man, after he had offered one sa- 
crifice for sins, ' for ever sat down on the right \*^*p- 
hand of God: coiis.i. 

13 From henceforth expecting ^ till his cne- ^ Psaims 
mies be made his footstool. i corin. 

14 For by one offering he hath ^ perfected for oiap!" 
ever them that are sanctified ; ^- "• 

15 Whereof the Holy Ghost also is a witness ' ^^'^'^ '' 
to us : for after that he had said before, 

16 ^ This is the covenant that I will make with S.^I^- 
them after those days, saith the Lord, I will Sl--uf" 
put my lav, s into their hearts, and in their minds 
will I write them ; 

17 And their sins and iniquities will I re- 
member no more. 

18 Now, where remission of these is, there is 
no more offering for sin. 

19 Having therefore, brethren, || boldness to u or, 
enter into the " holiest by the blood of Jesus, f^d ,?.

28 Through faith s he kept the ixissover, and 
the sprinkling of blood, lest he that destroyed the 
first-boi-n, should touch tliem, 

29 l^Y faith ''they passed through the Red sea, 
as by dry Lvid; which the Egyptians assaying to 
do, were drowned. 

30 By faith ' the wails of Jericho fell down, 
after they were compassed about seven days. 

31 By faith '^ the harlot Rahab perished not 
with them !1 that belie^^ed not, ' when she had re- 
ceived the spies with peace. 

32 And what shall I more say ? for the time 
would fail me to tell of Gedeon, and o/" Barak, 
and o/" Samson, and o/Jephthae ; of David also, 
and Samuel, and o/"the prophets : 

33 Who through faith subdued kingdoms, 
wrought righteousness, ™ obtained promises, 
" stopped the mouths of lions, 

34 Quenched the ° violence of fire, escaped 
the edge of the sword, out of '\\'eakness were 
made strong, waxed valiant in fight, turned to 
flight the armies of the aliens. 

35 p Women received their dead raised to life 
again : and others "were tortured, not accepting 
deliverance ; that they might obtain a better re- 
surrection : 

36 And others had trial of cruel mockings 
and scourgings, yea, moreover, of bonds and im- 
prisonment : 

37 They were "^ stoned, they were sawn asun- 
der, were tempted, were slain v.'ith the sword: 
"■ they wandered about in sheep-skins, and goat- 
skins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented : 

38 (Of whom the world was not worthy ;} 
they wandered in deserts, and in mountains, ' and 
in dens, and caves of the eaith. 

39 And these ail, having obtained a good re- 
port through faith, received not the promise : 

40 God having jl provided some better thing 
for us, that they without us should not be "^ made 
perfect. 

CHAP. xn. 

1 An exhortation to constant faith, patience, and 
godliness. 22 A commendation of the nevj testa- 
ment above the old. 
/"HEREFORE, seeing we also are com- 
passed about with so great a cloud of wit- 
■ nesses, let us "* lay aside every weight, and the 
sin wliich doth so easily beset us, and let us '' run 
with patience the race that is set before us, 

2 Looking unto Jesus the :1 author and finisher 
of our faitli ; ^ who, for the joy that was set before 
him, endured the cross, despising the shame, and 
is set down at the right hand of the throne of God. 
,3 For consider him that endured such contra- 
diction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wea- 
ried and faint in vour minds. 



4 Ye have not '^ jet resisted unto blood, striv- 
ing against sin. 

5 And ye have forgotten the exhortation, 
p/ov 3 ii' "^^'hich speaketh unto you, as unto children, * My 

' son, despise not thou the chastening of the '^ •^'-^i 
nor faint when thou art rebuked of him ;

XO, topatience, and godliness. 1019 

7 If ye endure chastening, s God dealethv/ith d^uni 

you as with sons; for what son is he whom the ^J*^ , 

father chasteneth not .' 

8 But if \^ be without chastisement, ^ where- »■ 
of all are partalters, then are ye bastards, and not^/J"^' 
sons. 

9 Furthermore, we have had fathers of our 
flesh, which corrected iis, and we gave the'm re- 
verence : shall we not much rather be in subjec- 
tion unto ' the Father of spirits, and live ? IfiT^- 

10 For they verily for a few days chastened us ■a', li 
after their own pleasure ; but he for our profit, 
that %ve might be partakers ^ of his holiness. \i°\o. 

1 1 Now, no chastening for the present seemeth 
to be joyous, but grievous : nevertheless, after- 
ward it yiekleth the peaceable ' fruit of righteous- \'^^^^ 
ness unto them which are exercised thereby : 

12 Wherefore, " lift up the hands Avhich hang fs}t^^ 
down, and the feeble knees ; 

13 And make li straight paths for your feet, C"''-^''*''- 
lest that which is_ lame, be turned out of the 
way ; but let it rather be healed. 

14 " Follow peace with all 7nen, and holiness, nK.omt 
without which no man shall see the Lord : 

15 Looking diligently, lest any man || fail of ^ 0^5^^ 
the_ grace of God ; lest ° any root of bitterness 'cai. "'4! 
springing up, trouble you, and thereby many be °^^r- 
defiled: 

16 Lest there be any fornicator, or profane 
person, as Esau, p who for one morsel of meat w?!!' 
sold his birth right. 

17 For ye know how that afi:erward, "^ when 1^-^J^\ 
he would have inherited the blessing, he was 
rejected : for he found no i| place of repentance, |„°2/^" 
though he sought it carefully v/ith tears.^ his mini

of words ; v.diich voice they that heard, ' entreat- sEx»i. 
ed that the v.-ord should not be spoken to them Deut!^. 
any more : *> 25, 

20 (For they could not endure that which was 
commanded. '^xAnd if so much as a beast touchjg -^f -

27 Antl this v^'ord. Yet once more, signifieth 
the rtmo\ing of those things that !l are shaken, 
as of things that :\rc made, ^ that those things 
which cannot be shiiken may remain. 

28 Wherefore, we receiving a kingdom which 
cannot be moved, || let us have grace, where- 
by \vc may serve God acceptably, with reverence 
and godly fear : 

29 For ^ our God is a consuming fire. 

CHAP. xni. 

I Divers admonitions., as to charity, 3 to Jjonest 
life, 5 to avoid covetousness, 7 to regard God's 
preachers, 9 to take heed of strange doctrines, 
10 to confess Christ, 16 to give alms, 17 to obey 
governors, 18 to pray for the apostles. 20 The 
conclusion. 

LET ' brotherly love continue. 
2 •" Be not forgetful to entertain strangers ; 
for thereby ' some have entertained angels un- 
awares. 

3 Remember them that are in bonds, as bound 
with them ; and them \\ hich suffer adversity, as 
being yourselves also in the body. 

4 INIarriage is honourable in all, and the bed 
undefiled : but * whoremongers and adulterers 
God will judge. 

5 Let your conversation dc without covctous- 
ness : and be content with such things as ye 
have : for he hath said, ' I will never leave tliee, 
nor forsake thee. 

6 So that u e may boldly say, ' The Lord is 
my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do 
unto me. 

7 Remember them \vhich t| have the rule over 
you, who have spoken unto you the word of 
God : ^ whose feith follow, considering the end 
of their comersation ; 

8 Jesus Christ the '' same yesterday, and to- 
day, and for ever. 

9 Be not carried about with divers and strange 
doctrines : for it isi\ good thing that the heart be 
established with grace ; not with meats, which 
have not profited them that have been occupied 
therein. 



10 We have an altar, ' whereof they have no 
right to cat which serve the tabernacle. 

11 For ''die bodies of those beasts, whose 
blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high 
priest for sin, are burnt without the camp. 

12 Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanc- 
tify the people Avith his own blood, 'suffered 
without the gate. 

13 Let us go forth, therefore, unto him with- 
out the camp, beai-ing " his reproach. 

14 " For here have we no continuing city, but 
we seek one to come. 

15 By him. therefore, let us offer the -sacrifice 
of praise to God continually, that is, ° the fruit 
of o;/r lips, f giving thanks to his name. 

16 But to do good, and to communicate, for- 
get not : for ^ with such sacrifices God is well 
pleased. 

1 7 '^ Obey them that || have the rule over you, 
and submit yourselves : for they watch for your 
souls, as they that must give account ; that they 
may do it \vith joy, and not with grief; for tliat 
is improfitable for you. 

18 Pray for us : for we trust we have a '' good 
conscience, in all things willing to live honestly. 

19 But I beseech you the rather to do this, 
' that I may be restored to j'ou the sooner. 

20 Now ' the God of peace, that brought again 
fi-om the dead our Lord Jesus, that great Shep- 
herd of the sheep, through the blood of the ever- 
lasting il covenant, 

J21 " Make you perfect in every good work to 
do his will, II working in you that which is well- 
pleasing in his sight, through Jesus Christ : to 
whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen. 

22 And I beseech you, brethren, suffer the 
word of exhortation ; for I have written a letter 
unto you in few words. 

23 Know ye, that our * brother Timothy is 
set at liberty ; with whom, if he come shordy, 
I will see you. 

24 Salute all them ^ that have the rule over 
you, and all the saints. They of Italy salute you. 

25 * Grace be with you all. Amen. 

H Written to the Hebrew^s, from Italy, by

re- 



MY brethren, have not the faith of our I 
Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, v/ith 
spect of persons. 

2 For if there come unto your f assembly a 
man with a gold ring, in goodly apparel, and 
there come in also a poor man, in vile raiment ; 

3 And ye have respect to him that weareth 
the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou 
here in a || good place ; and say to the poor. 
Stand thou there, or sit here under my footstool : 

4 Are ye not then '' partial in yourselves, and 
are become judges of evil thoughts ? 

5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, " Hath not 
God chosen the poor of this world '^ rich in faith, 
and heirs of |i the kingdom which he hath pro- 
mised to them that love him ? 

6 But ye have ^despised the poor. Do not 
rich men oppress you, and draw you before the 
judgment- seats ? 

7 Do not they blaspheme that worthy name, 
by the which ye are called ? 

8 If ye fulfil the royal law according to the 
scripture, ^Thou shalt love thy neighbour as 
thyself, ye do well : 

9 But if ye have ^ respect to persons, ye com- 
mit sin, and are convinced of the law as trans- 
gressors. 

10 For whosoever shall keep the whole law, 
and yet oflfend in ^ one point, he is guilty of all. 

1 1 For 11 he that said. Do not commit adul- 
tery, said also, Do not kill. Now, if thou com- 
mit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art be- 
come a transgressor of the law. 

12 So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall 
be judged by the ^law of liberty. 

13 For he shall have judgment ^ without 
mercy that hath shewed no mercy ; and mercy 
II rejoiceth against judgment. 

14 What doth it profit, my brethren, though 
a man say he hath faith, ^ ami have not works ? 
can faith save him ? 

15 If a brother or sister be naked, and desti- 
tute of daily food^ 

16 And one of you say unto them, " Depart 
in peace, be ye warmed and filled ; notwithstand- 
ing ye give them not those things which are 
needful to the body ; what doth it profit ? 

17 Even so faith, if it hath not works, is. dead, 
being f alone. 

18 Yea, a man may say. Thou hast faith, and 
I have works : shew me thy faith || without thy 
works, and " I will- shew thee my faith by my 
works. 

19 Thou l>felievest that there is one God; 
thou doest well. The " devils also believe, and 
tremble. 

20 But wilt thou know, O vain man ! that 
faitli without works is dead ? 

21 Was not Abraham our father justified by 
works, when he had offered Isaac his son upon 
the altar ? 

22 II Seest thou how faith wrought with liis 
works, and by works was faith made perfect ? 

23 And the scripture was fulfilled, which 
saith, p Abraham believed God, and it was im- 
puted

24 Ye see then liow Oiat In' works a man is 
iustificd, and not by faiih only. 

25 Like\\ ist also, was not ^ Ral.v.b the harlot 
justified \<y works, when she had received the 
messengers, and had sent them out another way ? 

26 I'l r I's the body without the !l spirit is dead, 
so faith without works is ck;ad also. 

CHAP. III. 

I IVe are not rashly or nrrogoritly to reprove 
others : 5 but rather to bridle the tori,^ue, a little 
member, but a pcnvcrftd instrument of much good^ 
ami great harm. 13 Theij ivbo be truly wise, be 
T}iild and peaceable, ivithout en'vying and strife. 

MY brethren, -^ l)e not many ma.sters, know- 
ing that we shall recei\"e the greater || con- 
demnation. 

2 For in many things we '' offend all. ' If any 
man oflcnd not in \vord, the same is a perfect 
man, r/Wable also to bridle the whole body. 

3 Behold, we put '' bits in the horses' moutlis, 
that they may obey us ; and we turn about their 
wiiok- body. 

4 Behold also the ships, which though they 
be so great, and are driven of fierce winds, yet are 
they turned about with a \ cry small helm, whi- 
tlicrsot ver tlic governor listeth. 

5 Even so die * tongue is a little member, and 
boasteth great things. Behold, how great a || mat- 
ter a little fire kindleth ! 

6 And the tongue /> *^ a fire, a world of ini- 
quity : so is the tongue among our members, 
that it 8 defileth the \\ hole body, and setteth on 
lire the course of nature ; and it is set on fire of 
hell. 

7 For every f ^"''tl of beasts, and of birds,

God the Father, through sanctification of the

6 Wherein ye greatly rejoice, though now for 
^ a season (if need be) ye are in heaviness through 
manifold temptations ; 

7 That the ^ trial of yom- faith, being much 
more precious than of gold that perisheth, though 
it be tried ^ with fii-e, might be found unto praise, 
and honour, and glory, at the appearing of Jesus 
Christ : 

8 Whom having not seen, ye love ; in whom 
though now ye see hi/n not, yet belie\ing, ye 
rejoice with joy unspeakable, and full of gloiy : 

9 Receiving the ^ end of your iaith, even the

13 ^\' herefore " gird up the loins of your 
niiiifl, he sober, ai;d hope t to the end, for the 
grace that is to \)C brougiit unto jou at the ° re- 
velation of Jesus Christ : 

14 As obedient children, not fashioning your- 
sehes according to the former lusts in your ig- 
norance; 

15 But as he, -which hath called you, is holy, 
so be ye holj" in all manner of conversation; 

If) Because it is written, f Be ye holy ; for I 
am holy. 

17 And if \e call on the Father, "J who, witli- 
out respect of persons, judgeth according to 
CAcry man's \\ork, pass the time of your so- 
journing here in fear : 

18 Forasmuch as je know^ that ye were not 
redeemed ^\ith corruptible things, as silver and 
gold, fiom your vain conversation received by 
tradition from your fathers ; 

19 But \\ith the precious blood of Christ, as 
of a lamb without blemish, and without spot : 

20 \\'ho \crily was fore-ordained i^efore the 
foundation of the world, ' but was manifest in 
• these last times for you, 

21 Who by him do believe in God that raised 
him up from the dead, and ' gave him glory ; that 
your faith and hope might be in God. 

22 Seeing ye have purified your souls in obey- 
ing the truth through the Spirit, unto unfeigned 
" lo^■e of the brethren, see that ye love one ano- 
ther \\ ith a pure heart fervently : 

23 Being '" born again, not of corruptible 
seed, but of incorruptible, * by the word of 
God, \\hich livcth and abideth for ever. 

24 II For y all flesh is as grass, and all the 
glorj' of man as the flower of grass. The 
grass witliereth, and the flower thereof falledi 
away : 

25 But the word of the Lord * endureth for 
ever. And this is the word which by the gospel 
is preached unto vou. 

CHAP. 11.

CHAP. TIT. 

1 He teachcth the duty of ivroes and husbands to 

each other ; 8 exhorting all 7nen to unity and 

love; \A-andto suffer persecution. \9 He declareth 

also the benefits of Christ toward the old ivorld. 

LIKEWISE, ^ 5^e wives, be in subjection to 
your own husbands ; that if any obey not 
the word, they also may, without the word, be 
^ won by the conversation of the wives ; 

2 While they behold your chaste conversa- 
tion co/zp/i?^ with fear: ^ 

3 ' Whose adorning, let it not be that outward 
adorning ,A plaiting the hair, and of wearing of 
gold, or of putting on of apparel ; 

4 But let it be the ^hidden man of the heart, 
in that w-hich is not corruptible, even the orna- 
ment of a meek and quiet spirit, which is in the 
sight of God of great price. 

5 For after this manner, in the old time, the 
holy women also, who trusted in God, adorned 
themselves, being in subjection unto their own 
husbands ; 

6 Y.vtn as Sara obeyed Abraham, * calling 
him lord : whose f daughters ye are as long as 
ye do well, and are not afraid with any amaze- 
ment. 

7 Likewise, ye husbands, ^ dwell with them 
according to knowledge, giving honour unto the 
wife, as unto the w^eaker vessel, and as being 
heirs together of the grace of life ; that ^ your 
prayers be not hindered. 

8 Finally, be ye all of one mind, having com- 
passion one of another : II love as brethren, be^x- 
tiful, be courteous ; 

9 ^Not rendering evil for evil, or railing for 
railing; but contrariwise, blessing: knowing that 
ye are thereunto called, that ye should inherit a 
blessing. 

10 For ' he that will love life, and see good 
days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and 
his lips that they speak no guile : 

11 Let him "^ eschew evil, and do good; let 
him seek peace, and ensue it. 

12 For the ^ eyes of the Lord are over the 
righteous, and his ears are open unto their pray- 
ers : but the face of the Lord is t against them 
that do evil. 

13 And who whe that will harm you, ™ if ye 
be followers of that \vhich is good ■ 

14 " But and if ye suffer for righteousness' 
sake, happy are ye: and ° be not afraid of their 
terror, neither be troubled : 

15 But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts : 
and be ready always to give an ^ answer to every 
man that askcth you a reason of the hope that is 
in you, with meekness and II fear; 

16 "3 Having a good conscience : that, whereas 
they speak evil of you, as of evil-doers, they may 
be ashamed that falsely accuse your good con- 
versation in Christ.

III. I\. Cease from sin. 

17 For it is better, if the will of God be 
so, that ye suffer for well-doing, than^ for evil- 
doing. 

18 For Christ also hath 'once suffered for 
sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring ^^ 
us to God, being put to death in ' the flesh, but \li°^' 
quickened ^ by the Spirit : 

19 By wdiich also he went and preached unto 
the spirits in prison ; 

20 Which sometime were disobedient, ^when ' 
once the long-suffering of God w^aited in the 
days of Noah, w^hile the ark w-as a preparing, 
w^herein few, that is, ^ eight souls, were saved ^^f^j/-'-

21 The like figure whereunto even baptism 
doth also no^v save us, (not the putting aw^ay of 
the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good 
conscience toward God) by ^the resurrection f^*?- 
of Jesus Christ : 

22 Who is gone into heaven, and is on the 
right hand of God ; ^ angels, and authorities, and li^il 
powers being made subject unto him.

1 He exhorteth them to cease from sin by the ex- 
ajnple of Christ, and the consideration of the ge- 
neral end that novj approacheth: 12 and coni' 
forteth them against persecution. 

FORASMUCH then as Christ hath suffered 
for us * in the flesh, arm yourselves likewise a cmk, 
with the same mind : for he ^ that hath suflfered

_ 2 That he no longer should live the rest olhis 
time in the flesh, to the lusts of men, but to the 
will of God. 

3 For the time past of our life may = suffice us c Ezek. 
to have wrought the will of the Gentiles, when 45:9:'^" 
we Avalked m lasciviousness, lusts, excess of^"'^''^"* 
wine, revellings, banquetings, and abominable 
idolatries : 

4 Wherein they think it strange that ye run

5 Who shall give account to him that is ready %^ll-

6 For, for this cause was the gospel preached 
also to them that = are dead, that they might be e chap, 
judged according to men in the flesh, but live'''"' 
according to God in the spirit. 

7 But the '"end of all things is at hand : be ye fM.tt

12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning 
the 'fiery trial which is to try you, as though 
some strange thing happened unto you : 

13 But rejoice, inasmuch as yc are " par- 
takers of Christ's suflerings; that, when his glory 
shall he revealed, ye may be glad also with ex- 
ceeding joy. 

14 "If yc be reproached for the name of 
Christ, happy ai:e yc; for the Spirit of glory 
and of God resteth upon you : on their par; he 
is evil spoken of; but on your part he is glo- 
rified. 

15 But let none of you suft'er as a murderer, 
.iTim. o*" ^'-^ "^ thief, or as an evil-doer, or as a ° busy- 
body in other men's matters. 

U) Yet if any man si/Jl'r as a Christian, let 
him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on 
this behalf. 

17 For the time is come, that judgment must 
begin •• at the house of God: and if // first begin 
at us, what shall the end dc of them that obey 
not the gospel of God? 

18 And '' if the righteous scarcely be saved, 
' where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 

19 W hereforc, let them that suftlr according 
to the will of God, ' commit the keeping of their 
souls to him in well-doing, as unto a faithful 
Creator.

11 For so an entrance shall be ministered 
unto you abundantly into the everlasting king- 
dom of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. 

12 Wherefore I M'ill not be neghgent to put 
you always in remembrance of these things, 
though ye know tbem, and 'be established in the 
present truth. 

13 Yea, I think it meet, as long as I am in 
this " tabernacle, " to stir you up, by putting 
you in remembrance; 

14 Knowing that shortly I must put off tbis 
my tabernacle, even as ° our Lord Jesus Christ 
hath shewed me. 

15 Moreover, I will endeavour that ye may 
be able, after my decease, to have these things 
always in remembrance. 

_ 16 For ^ve have not followed p cunningly-de- 
vised fables, Avhen we made known unto you 
the pov.er and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, 
but 1 Avere eye-witnesses of his majesty. 

17 For he received from God the Father ho- 
nour and glory, \a hen there came such a voice 
to him from the excellent gloiy, '" This is m5' be- 
loved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 

18 And this -^oice which came from heaven, 
we heard w^hen we Avere with him in ' the holy 
mount. 

19 We have also a more sure A^'ord of prophe- 
cy; whereunto ye do well that ye take heed, as 
unto a light that shineth in a dark place, until the 
day dawn, and the ' daj'-star arise in your hearts : 

20 Knowing this first, that no prophecy of 
the scripture is of any private interpretation. 

. 21 For " the prophecy came not ii in old time 
by the will of man ; but holy men of God spake 
as they ivere moved bv the Holy Ghost. 

CHAP. n. 
1 He foretelleth them of false teachers, shewing 
the impiety and punishment both of them and 
their folloxvei's ; " from ivhich the godly shall be 
delivered, as Lot voas out of Sodom: 10 and 
more fully describe th the manners of those pro- 
fane and blasphemous seducers, ivbereby they 
mai/ be the better knoi:cn and avoided. 

BUT * there were false prophets also among 
the people, even as there shall be '' false 
teachers among you, Avho prixil.v shall bring 
in damnable heresies, e\en denying the Lord 
that " bought them, and bring upon themsehes 
^ swift destruction. 

2 And many shall follow their Ii pernicious 
ways; by reason of whom tlie way of truth shall 
be evil spoken of. 

3 And through covetousness shall they, with 
feigned words, make merchandise of you : whose 
judgment no\v of a iong time " lingereth not, and 
their damnation slumbereth not. 

4 Foi it God spared not ^ the angels that sin- 
ned, E but cast them down to hell, and delivered 
them into chains of darkness, lo be reserved unto 

judgment; 

5 And spared not the old world, but saved 
^ Noah the eighth person, a preacher of righ- 
teousness, bringing in tlie Hood upon the world 
of tlie ungodly; 



6 ' And turning the cities of Sodom and Go- DOMttii 
morrha into ashes, condemned them with an ^^- 
overthrow, makiiig thejn an ensample unto those ^'^^ 
that after should live ungodly ; w- sa, 2s. 

7 And ''delivered just Lot, vexed with thekcea. 
filthy conversation of the wicked ; "' ^''■ 

8 (For that righteous man dwelling among - 
them, in seeingand hearing, vexed */6/5 righteous iszek. 
soul front day to day with their unlawful deeds O"'"' 

9 The Lord knoweth how to deliver the godly 
out of temptations, and to reserve the tmjusi un- 
to the day of judgment to be punished; 

10 But chiefly them that walk after the flesh 

in the lust of uncleanness, and despise !i govern- e or. 
ment. "^ Pjesumptuous are they, seIf-A\ilIed,'^°''"'"'"- 
they are not afraid to speak evil of dignities: ^Ju'ies. 

11 Whereas angels, w-hich are greater in po\A"er 

and might, bring not " railing accusation i' against n jude ?. 
them before the Lord. i^omt 

12 But these, ° as natural brute beasts, made^?a!«j' 
to be taken and destroyed, speak evil of the '^'J"^';';,"" 
things that they understand not, and shall ut- " " ^ "' 
terly perish in their own coiTuption ; 

13 And shall receive the reward of p unrigh-ppM- 
teousness, as they that count it pleasure to '^ rioiq^^'^_ 
in the day-time. "■ Spots they are and blemishes, ". 13. ' 
sporting themseh-es with their on-n deceivings,''J'"^^'2- 
while they feast with j'ou ; 

14 Having eyfes full of t adultery, and that ^^g^;";"^, 
cannot cease from sin; beguiling unstable souls:" "•"""■'■ 
an heart they have exercised with ^ covetous ^ jude u. 
practices ; cursed children : 

15 W^hich have forsaken the right way, and 

are gone astray, following the way of "^ Balaam t jude 1. 
the son of Bosor, who loved the wages of un- 
righteousness ; 

16 But Vv^as rebuked for his iniquity: ^ then Numb, 
dumb ass, speaking with man's voice,"forbade^'**' 
the madness of the prophet. 

17 "These are Vv'ells without water, clouds x jude 
that are carried with a tempest; to whom the ^'"' 
mist of darkness is reserved for ever. 

18 For when they speak > great swelling ivordsrMeia. 
of vanity, they allure tlirough the lusts of the ' 
flesh, through much wantonness, those that were 

ij clean escaped from them who live in error. mul'^a 

19 While they promise them liberty, they ™ •■■{^' ■'^'' 
themselves are ^ the servants of corruption: for v"sVlo.'^' 
of whom a man is overcome, of the same is he ^ ^^"^-^ 
brought in bondage. Lm. 0. i*. 

_ 20 For '' if, after they have escaped the pollu- b Matth. 
tionsof the world, through the knowledge of the -near*' 
Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, they arc again^''*''^"' 
entangled therein, and overcome, the latter end 
is worse with them than the beginning. 

21 For it had been " better for liiem not to c Luke 
have known the way of righteousness, than, af- **"'^''''- 
ter they have known it, to turn from the holy 
commandment delivered unto them. 

22 But it is happened unto them according to 

the true proverb, ^ The dog is turned to his own ^p,,,. 
vomit ag-iin; and. The sow that was washed, to^'^- 
her wallowing in the mire.

to judgment, against those scoruers who dispute 
against it; 8 waniing the godly for the long pa- 
tience of God, to hasten their repentance. 10 He 
d -scribe th also the manner hoiv the world shall be 
destroyed: 1 1 exhorting them, from the expecta- 
tion thereof to all holiness of life; 15 and again, 
to think the patience of God lo tend to their sal- 
vation, as Paul wrote to them in his epistles. 
^ "'HIS second epistle, beloved, I now \\rite 
unto you; in both which ■'■ I stir up your 
pure- minds hy Wiiy ol' remembrance ; 

2 That yc may be mindful otthe words which 
were spoken before by tlie holy prophets, and 

of the eommanchnent of us the apostles of the 
Lord and Saviour : 

3 •= KnoAving this first, that there shall come in 
the la.st days scoffers, walking after their ownlusts, 

4 And saying, "^ Where is the promise of his 
coming.'' for since the fathers icll asleep, all 
things continue as they ivere from the beginning 
ofthe creation. 

5 For this they willingly are ignorant of, that 
by the 'word of God the heavens were of old, 
and the earth t standing out of t!ie water, and in 
tiie water ; 

6 Whereby the world that then was, being 
o\ erflo\\ed wiUi water, perished : 

But the ^ heavens and the earth, which are 
now, by the same word are kept in store, re- 
ser\ed * unto fire, against the day of judgment 
and perdition of ungodly men. 

8 But, beloved, be not ignorant of this one 
thing, that one day is with the Lord as a thou- 
sand years, and ^ a thousand years as one day. 

9 The Lord is notslack concerning his promise, 
as sorne men count slackness ; but is long-suffer- 



ing to ns-ward, ' not willing that any should pe- 
rish, but that all should come to repentance. 

10 But '' the day of the Lord will come as a 
thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall 
pass away with a great noise, and the ' elements 
shall melt with fervent heat, the earth al-so, and 
the works that are therein, shall be burned up. 

11 Seeing ihcn, that all these things shall be 
dissohed, w hut manner of persons ought ye to be 
in '" all holy conversation and godliness, 

12 Looking for iind il hasting unto the com- 
ing ofthe day of God, wherein the heavens be- 
ing on fire shall be "dissolved, and the elements 
shall ° melt with fervent heat ? 

13 Nevertheless we, according to his promise, 
look p for new heavens, and a new earth, where- 
in dwelleth righteousness. 

14 Wherefore, beloved, seeing that ye look 
for such things, be diligent that ye may be found 
of him in peace, *> without spot, and blameless : 

1.5 And account that "■ the long-suffering of 
our Lord is salvation ; even as our belo\ed bro- 
ther Paul also, according to the wisdom given 
unto him, hath written unto yoib; 

16 -A.S also in all his epistles, speaking in 
them ' of these things ; in which are some things 
hard to be understood, which they that are un- 
learned and unstable, wrest, as they do also the 
other scriptures, unto their o\\ n destruction, 

17 Ye, therefore, beloved, seeing ye know 
these things before, beware lest yc also, being 
led away with the error of the wicked, ' fall from 
your own stedfastness: 

18 But " grow in grace, and ///the knowledge 
of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. " To him 
be glory, both now and for ever. Amen.

CHAP. I. 

1 He describe th the person of Christ, in ivhom ive 
have eternal life by a communion vcith God: 5 
to which ive nnist adjoin holiness of life, to testify 
the truth of that our communion and prof ession 
of faith, as also to assure us of the forgiveJtess 
of our sins by ChrisCs death. 

THAT " which was from the beginning, 
which we have heard, which we have 
^ seen w ith our eyes, which we have 
looked upon, and ' our hands have handled, of 
the word of life ; 

2 (For the "^life was manifested, arul we have 
seen /'/, and l^ear witness, and shew unto you 
that etern;il life ' which was with die Father, 
and was manifested unto us;) 

3 That w liich w e have seen and heard, declare 
we tmto you, that yc also may have fellowship 
with us: and truly our fellowship is with the 
I'ather, and 'with his Son Jesus Christ. 

4 And these things write we unto you, that 
'•\ our joy may be full. 

5 This then is the message which we have 
' . (if him, and decinre unto you, that •* God 

it, and in liim s no darkness at all. 




8. 46. 
Prov. 30. 9, 



6 If we say that we have fellowship with him, 
' and walk in darkness, we lie, and do not 
the truth: 

7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the i»c«r 
light, we have fellowship one with another; and *'"' 

*• the blood of Jesus Christ his Sou cleanseth us kHebr.. 
from all sin. Rev.i. 5, 

8 ' If we say that wc liave no sin, we deceive ij.K'np 
ourselves, and the truth is not in us. 

9 If we confess our sins, he is faidifid and ^^^ 
just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us 
from all unrighteousness. 

10 If we say that we ha^e ™ not sinned, we niRom 
make him a liar, and his word is not in us. ^'^' 

CHAP. H. 
1 He comforteth them against the sins of infirmity. 
3 Rightly to know God is to keep his comm.md-

the world. IH IP^e must beware of seducers: 2() 
from whosedeceits the godly are safely preserved 
by perseverance in faith, and holiness of life.

2 And he is the. ^ propitiation tor our sins ; 
and not for ours only, but also for the sins of the 
*= whole world. 

3 And hereby we do know that we know him, 
if we keep his commandments. 

4 He that saith, 1 know him, andkeepeth not

not in him. 

5 But whoso keepeth his word, in him verily

^ 6 He that saith *' he abideth in him, ought 
himself also so to walk, even as he walked. 

7 Brethren, ^ I write no new commandment un- 
to you, but an old commandment v/hich ye had 
^ from the beginning. The old commandment is 
the word which ye have heard from the beginning. 

8 Again, ' a new commandment I write unto 
you, which thing is true in him, and in you; 
^ because the darkness is past, and the true light 
now shineth. 

^ 9 He that saith he is in the light, and hateth 
his brother, is in darkness even until now. 

_ 10 ' He that loveth his brother abideth in the 
light, and there is none t occasion of stumbling 
in him : 

11 But he that hateth his brother is in dark- 
ness, and walketh in darkness, •" and knoweth 
not whither he goeth, because that darkness Hath 
blinded his eyes. 

12 I write unto you, little children, " because 
your sins are forgiven you for his name's sake. 

13 I write unto you, fathers, because ye have 
known him ° that is from the beginning. I write 
unto you, young men, ^ because ye have over- 
come the wicked one. I write unto you, little 
children, ^ because ye have known the Father. 

14 I have written unto you, fathers, because 
ye have known him that is from the beginning, 
I have written unto you, young men, because ye 
are strong, and the word of God abideth in you, 
and ye have overcome the wicked one. 

15 '^ Love not the world, neither the things 
that are in the world. If any man love the world, 
* the love of the Father is not in him. 

16 For all that is in the world, the lust of the 
flesh, and the lust of the ^ eyes, and the pride of 
life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 

17 And the world "* passeth away, and the lust 
thereof : but he that doeth the will of God, abid- 
eth for ever. 

18 Littie children, ""it is the last time; and as 
ye have heard that ^ antichrist shall come, even 
now are there ^ many antichrists ; whereby we 
know that it is the last time. 

19 ""They went out from us, but they were 
not of us ; for if they had been of us, they would 
no doubt have continued with us ; but they went 
out., that they might be made *" manifest that they 
were not all of us. 

20 But ye have an "^ unction from the Holy 



God's 101)6 to us. 1029 



One, and ye know all things. 

21 I have not written unto you, because ye 
know not the truth; but because ye know it, 
and that no lie is of the truth. 



22 Who is a liar, but he that denieth that .Je- 
sus is the Christ ? He is antichrist that denieth 
the Father and the Son. 

23 Whosoever denieth the Son, ''the same 
hath not the Father : {but he that acknowledgeth 
the Son., hath the Father also. ] 

24 Let that therefore abide in you, which 3'e 
have heard from the beginning. If that which ye 
have heard from the beginning shall remain in 
you, 'ye also shall continue in the Son, and in 
the Father. 

25 And this is the promise that he hath pro- 
mised us, even eternal life. 

26 These things have I written unto you 
s concerning them that seduce you. 

27 But the anointing, which ^ ye have re- 
ceived of him, abideth m you ; and ye need not 
that any man teach you : but as the same anoint- 
ing teacheth you ' of all things, and is truth, and 
is no lie, and even as it hath taught you, ye shall 
abide in II him. 

28 And now, little children, abide in him; that, 
^ when he shall appear, we may have confidence, 
and not be ashamed before him at his coming. 

29 Ifyeknow that he is righteous, W ye knowthat 
every one that doeth righteorfsnessis ' born of him.

1 He declareth the singular love of God towards 
us, in making us bis sons: 3 who therefore ought 
obediently to keep his commandments, 11 as also 
brotherly to love one another. 

BEHOLD, what manner of love the Father 
hath bestowed upon us, that we should be 
called ''the sons of God! therefore the world 
knoweth us not, because it knew him not. 

2 Beloved, now are we the sons'of God; and 
it doth not yet appear what we shall be : but ^-e 
know that, when he shall appear, we shall be 
'' like him ; for we shall •= see him as he is. 

3 And every man that hath this hope in him 
purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 

4 Whosoever committeth sin, transgresseth also 
the law : ^ for sin is the transgression of the law. 

5 And ye know that he was manifested ^ to 
take away our sins; and in him is no sin. 

6 Whosoever abideth in hini, sinneth not: 
whosoever sinneth, ^ hath not seen him, neither 
known him. 

7 Little children, let no man s deceive you ; 
he that doeth righteousness is righteous, even as 
he is righteous. 

8 ''He that committeth sin, is of the devil; 
for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For 
this purpose the Son of God was manifested, 
' that he might destroy the works of the devil. 

9 Whosoever is born of God, ^ doth not com- 
mit sin ; for his seed remaineth in him : and he 
cannot sin, because he is born of God. 

10 In this, the children of God are manifest, 
and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth 
not righteousness is not of God, ^ neither he that 
loveth not his brother. 

1 1 For this is the II message that ye heard from 
the beginning, " that we should love one another:

8 He tlial loveth not, knoweth not God : ^ for ^Ji;

9 ' In this was manifested the love of God *— ^X> 
toward us, because that Gvxl sent his onlvhver.ie.

10 Herein is love, not that wc loved God, 
but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the

12 'No man hath seen God at any time. Fnxim.

13 Hereby kno\v we that we dwell in him, and 
he in us, because he hath given u . of his Spirit. 

14 And we have seen, and do testify, that" thcnjohns. 
Father sent the Son to be the Saviour of the world. "' "' 

15 Whosoe\er shall confess that Jesus is the 
Son of God, God d\\ eileih in him, and he in God. 

IG And we have known and believed the love 
thai God hath to us. ° God is love ; and he ^ thatoverwe.

him. 

17 Herein is tour love made perfect, ^ that;J'^*^j,;^''

18 Tliere is no fear in lo\e ; but perfect love s.'i^'''' 
casteth out fear : because fear hath torment. 
' He that faireth, is not made perfect in love. 'Veneiz. 

19 We love him, because he first loved us. 

20 If a man say, I love God, and hatcth his 
brother, lie is a liar ; for he that loveth not his 
brother whom he hath seen, how can he love 
God ' whom he hath not seen ? ' ^"'e '-■ 

21 And "this commandment have we from him, '^^^"^^ 
That he who loveth God, lo\'c his brother also. u. »•

8 And there are three that bear witness in 
earth, the spirit, and the water, and the blood : 
and these three agree in one. 

9 If we receive the witness of men, the wit-^ 
ness of God is gi-eater : for this is the \^tness of 
God, '' which he hath testified of his Son. 

10 He that believeth on the Son of God, ' hath 
the witness in himself: he that beheveth not God, 
hath made him a liar ; because he believeth not 
the record that God gave of his Son. 

11 And this is the record, that God hath given 
to us eternal Ufe; " and this life is in his Son. 

12 He that hath the Son, "hath life; and he 
that hath not the Son of God, hath not life. 

13 These things have I written unto you that 
believe on the name of the Son of God ; ° that ye 
may know that ye have eternal life, and that ye 
may believe on the name of the Son of God. 

14 And this is the confidence that we have 
II in him, that p if we ask any thing according to 
his will, he heareth us : 

15 And if we know that he hear us, whatso- 



ever we ask, we know that we have the petidons inno 
that we desired of him. _ ^'^'^^^^

is a sin unto deadi : I do not say that he shall'*'"^^--^- 
pray for it. . 

1 7 All unrighteousness is sin : and there is a 
sin not unto death. 

18 We know that whosoever is bom of God, 
^sinneth not: but he that is begotten of God,' 
keepeth himself, and that wicked one toucheth 
him not. 

19 And we know that we are of God, and the 
whole ' world lieth in wickedness. 

20 And we know that the Son of God is come, 
and hath given us an understanding, that we may 
know him that is true ; and we are in him that „ ^^^ 
is true, d"y(?7z in his Son Jesus Christ. "^This is^o-^s.

1[ The general Epistle of JUDE. 

1 He cxhorteth them to be constant in the profession 
of tlx faith. 4 False teachers are crept in to 
seduce them ; for ivhose damnable doctrine and 
manners., horrible punishment is prepared: 20 
ivbcreas the godlij by the assistance of the Holy 
Spirit, and prayers to God, mau persevere and 
gro-iV in grace, and keep thcmsefves, arid recover 
others^ out of the snares of those deceivers. 

JUDE, the ser\ant of Jei>us Clirist, and bro- 
ther of =" James, to them thiit are sanctified 
by God the Father, and presened in Jesus 
Christ, and cMcd ; 

2 Alercy unto you, and peace, and love, be 
•* multiplied. 

3 Beloved, when I gave all diligence to write 
unto you of the ' common sah ation, it \\as need- 
ful for me to write unto you, and exhort you, 
that ye should ^ earnestly contend for the faiih 
which ^^■as once delivered unto tlie saints. 

4 For there are certain men crept in unawares, 
who were before of old "^ ordained to diis con- 
demnation, inigodiy men, tnrniug the grace of 
our God into lasci\ iousness, ' and denying the 
oiily Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ. 

5 I will tlicrcfore put you in remembrance, 
though ye once knew this, how that the Lord, 
having saved tlK^ people out of tlie land of Egypt, 
afterwards « d.stroyetl tliem that belie\ed not. 

G And the angels which kept not their il first 
cstale, but left the;ir own habiiaiion, '' he hadi re- 
served in everlasting ehain.s under darkness, un- 
to UiejudgmLnt of iik great day. 

7 Even as ' Sodom and Gomorrlia, ajid die 
cities about them, in like manner giving ihem- 

. s< ves over to foniicaiion, and going aferfstrargc 
IV 1, are set forth foj aji '' exiuriple, suffering the 
Vengeance of eternal fiie. 

8 Likeu i.sc also the.se flfhy dreamers defile 
tlie fie h, despite dominion, ' ar.d speak evil of 
dignities. 

y Yit '"l^hael thearcliang. 1, when contend- 
. ing v.ith th?TO<%il, (he disputed about the body 
of Mosej^) (hirst not biing against liim a railing 
accusatioai, yti said, " The Lord rebuke thee. 

lU ° But ffte-sc speak evil of tliose thii tgs which 
they ktK)W not : but what tluy know naturally, 
as brute beasts* in those tilings dity conupt 
themselves. 



1 1 Woe unto them ! for they ha\e gone in 
the way of Cain, and ^ ran greedily after the 
error of Balaam for reward, and iierishcd in the 
■J gainsaying of Core. 

12 These are " spots in your fettsts of charity, 
when they feast\\ith you, feedingUiemselves with- 
out fear: 'clouds /Z/^w (^/v? without water, carried 
aboutof \\ inds ; trees whose fniit withereth, with- 
out fruit, twice dead, plucked up by the roots; 

13 ' Raging wa\es of die sea, foaming out 
their own shame; wandering stiirs, " to whom 
is i'eser\ed the blackness of darkness for e\er. 

14 And " Enoch also, the se\entli from Adam, 
prophesied of these, saying, Behold, ' die Lord 
Cometh with ten thousand of his saints, 

15 To execute judgment upon all, and to con- 
vince all that are ungodly among them, of all 
their inigodly deeds which they ha^e ungodly 
committed, and of all "^ their hard speeches, which 
ungodly sinners have spoken against him. 

16 These are munnurers, complainers, walk- 
ing after their o\\ n lusts ; and their mouth speak- 
eth great ''swelling -vcords, having men's persons 
in " admiration, because of advantage. 

17 But, belo\cd, remember ye the words 
which were spoken before of the apostles of our 
Lord Jesus Christ. 

1 8 How that they told you '' there should be 
mockers in die last time, who should walk after 
Uieir own ungodly lusts, 

19 These be they who "^ separate themselves, 
sensual, having not the Spirit. 

•zO But ye, beloved, ' building up yourselves oji 
j-our most holy faith, ^ praying in the Holy Ghost, 

21 Keep yourselves in the love of Ciod, look- 
ing f.jr the nicrey of our Lord Jesus Christ unto 
eternal life, 

22 And of some have compassion, making a 
difference : 

23 And others save with fear, '' pulling them 
out of the fire ; liating even ' the garment spotted 
bj- the flesh.

power and majesty. 

THE Revelation of Jesus Christ, * which God 
gave unto him, to shew unto his servants 
things which must shortly come to pass ; and he 
sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant 
John : 

2 WTio bare record of "^ the word of God, and 
of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all tilings 
*= that he saw. 

3 ■* Blessed is he that readeth, and they that 
hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those 
things which are written tlierein ; * for the time 
is at hand. 

4 T OHN, to the seven churches which are in 

I Asia : Grace be unto you, and peace, from 
•^ him ^ which is, and which was, and which 

is to come : and from the ^ seven spirits which 
are before his throne ; 

5 And fro n Jesus Christ, who is the faithful 
witness, and the ^ first-begotten of the dead, and 
the prince of the kings of the earth : Unto him 
that loved us, ' and washed us from our sins in 
his ov.Ti blood, 

6 And hath ''made us kings and priests imto 
God aiid his Father : to him be glory and domi- 
nion for e\er and ever. Amen. 

7 ^ Behold, he cometh with clouds : and every 
eye shall see him, and "" they also which pierced 
him : and all kindreds of the earth shall wail be- 
cause of him. Even so, Amen. 

8 " I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning 
and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and 
which was, and which is to come, the Al- 
mighty. 

9 I John, who also am your brother, ° and 
companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom 
and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that 
is called Patmos, for p the word of God, and for 
the testimony of Jesus Christ. 

10 I was '*in the Spirit on the '^ Lord's day, 
and heard behind me a ' great voice, as of a 
trumpet, 

II Saying, ^ I am Alpha and Omega, '^ the first 
and the last : and. What thou seest, wTite in a 
book, and send it unto the seven churches which 
are in Asia ; unto Ephesus, and unto SmjTna, 
and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and un- 
to Sardis,- and unto Philadelphia, and unto La- 
odicea. 

12 And I turned to see the voice diat spake 
with me. And, being turned, I " saw seven 
goklen candlesticks ; 

13 And in tlie miclst of the seven candlesticks, 
^ one like .unto the Son of man, ^ clothed with a 
garment down to the foot, and ^ girt about the 
paps with a golden girdle.

and out of his mouth went "^ a ^/harp two-edged l^^^^ 
sword; and his countenance vj.is as ' the sun 4.1a. 
shineth in his strength. It'u. 

17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as 
dead : and he laid his righc hand upon me, say- 
ing unto me, Fear not : "^ I am the first and the ktoi^ 
last : Us'.'" 

18 lam he that liveth, and was dead; and, 
behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and

° angels of the seven churches; and the seven |_^P'

10 Fear none of those things which thou shalt 
sufl'er : behold, the devil shall cast some of you 
into prison, that ye may be tried ; and ye shall 
have tribulation ' ten days : be thou faithful 
unto death, and I w ill give thee a "' crown of 
life. 

11 He that hath an ear, let him hear what 
the Spirit saith unto the churches ; He that 
overcometh shall not be hurt of the second

12 And to the angel of the church in Perga- 
inos write ; These things saith he " which hath 
the sharp sAvord with two edges ; 

13 I kno^v thy w orks, and where thou dwell- 
est, even ° where Satan's seat is: and thou boldest 
fast my name, and hast not denied my faith, 
even in those days wherein Antipas was my 
faithful martyr, w ho was slain among you, where 
Satan dwelleth. 

14 But I have a few things against thee, be- 
cause thou hast there them that hold the doctrine 
of p Balaam, who taught Balak to cast a stum- 
bling-bldfck before the children of Israel, ''to eat 
things sacrificed unto idols, and to commit for- 
nication. 

1 5 So hast thou also thern that hold the ■■ doc- 
trine of the Nicolaitanes, which thing I hate. 

16 Repent; or else 1 will come unto thee 
quickly, and will fight 'against them with the 
sword of my mouth. 

17 ' He that hath an ear, let him hear what the 
Spirit saitii unto the churches ; 'Vo him diat 
o\ercometh will I give to eat of the hidden 
manna, and will give him a white stone, and in 
the stone a "new name written, " which no man 
knoweth, saving he that rcceiveth it. 

18 And unto the angel of the church in Thya- 
tira write; These things saith the Son of God, 
5* who hath his eyes like imto a flame of fire, and 
his feet arc like tine brass ; 

19 I know thy works, and charity, and ser- 
vice, and laith, and thy patience, and thy works; 
and the last to be more than the first : 

20 Notwilh.standing, I have a few things 
against thee, because tiiou sufierest that woman 
'■" Jezebel, w hich calleth herself a pnjphetcss, to 
teach and to seduce my ser\iu\ts to ''commit 
fornication, and to eat things sacrificed unto 
idols. 

21 And I gave ' her space to repent of her for- 
nication ; and she repented not. 

22 Behold, I will cast her into a bed, and them 
that commit adultery w ith her into great tribula- 
tion, •* except they repent of their (\LK:(.h. 

23 And I will kill her children with death ; 
and all the churches shall know diat 1 am he

will give unto every one of you according to 
your works.

10 Because thou hast kept the word of my

temptation, which shall come upon ^ all the 
world, to try them that dwell upon "^the earth. 

11 Behold, I come quickly: hold 'that fast 
which thou hast, that no man take thy crown. 

12 Him. that overcometh will I make a "^ pillar

^ the faithful and true Witness, '• the beginning 
of the creation of God ; 

15 I know thy works, that thou art neither 
cold nor hot : I would thou wert cold or hot. 

16 So then, because thou art lukewarm, and 
neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my 
mouth. 

17 Because thou sayest, ^ I am rich, and 
.increased with goods, and have need of nothing ; 

and knowest not that thou art wretched, and 
miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked : 

18 I counsel thee ^ to buy of me gold tried in 
the lire, that thou may est be rich; and ^ white 
raiment, that thou maj^est be clothed, and 
that the shame of thy nakedness do npt appear ; 
and anoint thine eyes wdth eye-salve, that thou 
mayest see. 

19 ^ As many as I love, I rebuke and chasten: 
be zealous, therefore, and repent. 

20 Behold, I stand at the door, ^ and knock : 
if any man hear my voice, and open the door, 
^ I will come in to him, and will sup with' him, 
and he with me. 

21 To him that overcometh, ' will I grant to 
sit W'ith me in my throne, even as I also over- 
came, and am set down with my Father in his 
throne. 

22 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the 
Spirit saith unto the churches. 

CHAP. IV. 
2 John seeth the throne of God in heaven. 4 The 
four and twenty elders. 6 The four beasts full 
of eyes before and behind. 10 The elders lay 
down their crowns, and worship him that sat on 
the throne. 

AFTER this, I looked, and, behold, a door 
was opened in heaven : and the first voice 
which Iheai'd, ^was as it were of a trumpet 
talking with me ; which said, "^ Come up hither, 
and 1 will shew thee things which must be 
hereafter. 

2 And immediately " I was in the spirit : and, 
behold, '^ a throne was set in heaven, and one 
sat on the throne. 

3 And he that sat was to look upon like a 
jasper and a sardine stone: and "there was a 
rainbow round about the tlirone, in sight like 
unto an emerald.

IV. V. The book sealed. 

4 And ^ round about the throne were four and 
twenty seats : and upon the seats I saw four and 
twenty elders sitting, clothed in white raiment ; 
and they had on their heads ^ crowns of gold. 

5 And out of the throne proceeded ''lightnings, 
and thunderings, and voices : and there were 
' seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, 
^ which are the seven Spirits of God. 

6 And before the throne there was a ^ sea of 
glass like unto crystal : and in the midst of the 
throne, and round about the throne, were four 
beasts ™ full of eyes before and behind. 

7 And the first beast was like a lion, and the 
second beast like a calf, and the third beast had 
a face as a man, and the fourth beast was like a 
flying eagle. 

8 And the four beasts had each of them " six 
wings about him, and they were ° full of eyes 
within : and t they rest not day and night, say- 
ing, p Holy, holy, holy. Lord God Almighty, 
which was, and is, and is to come. 

9 And when those beasts give glory, and ho- 
nour, and thanks, to him that sat on the throne, 
1 who liveth for ever and ever, 

10 The •" four and twenty elders fall down be- 
fore him that sat on the throne, and ^ w^orship 
him that liveth for ever and ever, and ' cast their 
crow-ns before the throne, saying, 

11" Thou art worthy, O Lord, ta receive 
glory, and honour, and power: for thou hast 
created all things, and for thy pleasure they are 
and were created. * 

CHAP. V. 

1 The book sealed with seven seals : 9 which only 
the Lamb that was slain is ivorthy to open : 12 
therefore the elders praise him, 9 and confess 
that he redeemed them with his blood. 

AND I saw in the right hand of him that sat 
on the throne, ^ a book written within and aEze>. 
on the backside, '' sealed with seven seals. ^■^""'• 

2 And I saw a strong angel proclairping with aJn**' 
a loud voice, Who is worthy to open the book, Ban.ij.4. 
and to loose the seals thereof? 

3 And no " man in heaven, nor in earth, nei- ^.^ 
ther under the earth, w-as able to open the book, "^ 
neither to look thereon. 

4 And I wept much, because no man w^as 
found worthy to open, and to read the book, nei- 
ther to look thereon. 

5 And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep 

not ; behold, "^the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the dcea. 
* Root of David, hath prevailed to open the ^'^'-i' 
book, and ^ to loose the seven seals thereof. l^Xl^- 

6 And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the f chap. 
throne, and of the four beasts, and in the midst ^■'' . 
of the elders, stood a ^Lamb, as it had been gjohn 
slain, having seven horns and ** seven eyes, ^;^g_jj^ 
which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth in- h zech.' 
to all the earth. 1%^ 

7 And he came, and took the book out of the 
right hand of him that sat upon the throne. 

8 And, when he had taken the book, the four 
beasts and four atid twenty elders lell dow^n 
before the Lamb, having every one ' of them i chap.

Four angels let loose. REVEL 

5 And to them it was given that they should 
not kill them, but that they should be ' tor- 
mented five months : and their torment yas as 
the torment of a scorpion, when he striketh a 
man. 

6 And in those days ^ shall men seek death, 
and shall not find it; and shall desire to die, and 
death shall fiee from them. 

7 And the shapes of the locusts ivere ' like 
unto horses prepared unto battle ; and on their 
heads "" were as it were crowns like gold, and 
their faces " ivvrc as the faces of men. 

8 And they had hair as the hair of women, 
and their teeth ° were as the teeth of lions. 

9 And they had breast-plates as it were 
breast-plates of iron; and the sound of their 
wings %vas as the p souncKof chariots, of many 
horses running to battle. 

10 And they had tails like unto scon^ions; and 
there were stings in their tails^ and their power 
1 ivas to hurt men fi\ e months. 

11 And they had a ' king over them, •which is 
the angel of' the bottomless pit, whose name in 
the Hebrew tongue is Abaddon, but in the 
Greek tongue hath his name II Apollyon. 

12 ' One woe is past ; and, behold, there come 
two woes more hereafter. 

13 And the sixth angel sounded, and I heard 
a \ oice from the lour " horns of the golden altar, 
which is before God, 

14 Saying to the sixth angel which haci the 
trumpei, Loo^e the four angels which are bound 
in the * great river Euphrates. 

1 5 And the four angels were loosed, w hich w ere 
prepared II for an hour, and a day, and a month, 
and a year, for to slay the third part of men. 

16 And '' the number of the army of the 
horsemen ivere two hundred Uiousand thousand : 
and I " heard the ni^berof them. 

17 And thus I-saw the horses in tlie vision, 
and them that sat on them, having breast-plates 
of fire, and of jacinth and brimstone; and the 

• heads of the horses ivere ^ as the heads of lions: 
and out of their mouths issued fire, and smoke, 
and brimstone. , , • , r 

18 By these three was the third part ot men 
killed, by the fire, and by the smoke, and by the 
brimstone, which issued out of their mouths. 

19 For their powxr is in their mouth, ^ and in 
their tails: for their tails ivere like unto serpents, 
and had heads, and with them they do hurt. 

20 And the rest of die men which were not 
killed by these plagues, yet repented not of 
the works of their hands, that they .should not 
worship ** devils, ' and idols of gold, and silver, 
and brass, and ktone, and of wood; which nei- 
ther can see, nor hear, nor walk : 

21 Neither repented they of their murders, 
nor of their ' sorceries, nor of their fornication, 
nor of their thefts.

AND I saw another mighty angel come 
down from heaven, clothed with a cloud; 
* and a rainbow ivas upon his head, and his 
** face ivas as it were the sun, and his ' feet as 
pillars of fire : 

2 And he had in his hand a little book open : 
•^ and he set his right foot upon the sea, and his 
\tkfoot on the earth, 

3 And cried with a loud voice, as ivhen a lion 
roareth : and when he had cried, * seven thun- 
ders uttered their voices. 

4 And w hen the seven thunders had uttered 
their voices, I was about to write: and I heard a 
voice from heaven, saying unto me, '^Scal up 
tho.se things w hich the seven thunders uttered, 
and write them not. 

5 And the angel, which I saw stand upon the 
sea and upon the earth, s lifted up his hand to 
heaven, 

6 And sware by him that liveth for ever 
and ever, who *" created heaven, and the things 
that therein are, and the earth, and the diings 

I that therein are, and the sea, and the things 
which are therein, ' that there should be time 
I no longer: 

7 But in the days of the voice "' of the seventh 
angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery 

I of God should be finished, as he hath declared 
I to his servants the prophets. 

8 And the voice ' w hich I heard from heaven 
spake unto me again, and said. Go, andVdke the 
little book which is open in the hand of the 
angel which standeth upon t!ie sea and upon 
the earth. 

9 And I went unto the angel, and said unto 
' him. Give me the little book. And he said imto 

me, "* Take /'/, and eat it up; and it shall make 
thy belly bitter, but it shall be in thy mouth 
sweet as honey. 

10 And I took the little* book out of the an- 
gel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth 
sweet as honey : and as soon as I had eaten it, 
" my belly was bitteq#

A beast riseth out of the sea. 

14 And to the woman were gi\en two \vln5S 

• of a great eagle, that she might fly into the 
'wilderness, into her place ; where she is nou- 
rished for » a time, and times, and half a time, 
from the face of the serpent, 

15 And the serpent cast out of his mouth 
water, * as a flood, after the woman, that 
he might cause her to be earned away of 
the flood. 

16 And the earth helped the Avoman : and 
the cariii opened her mouth, and swallowed 
vip the flood which the dragon cast out of his 
mouth. 

1 7 And the dragon was \vrotli with the woman, 
' and went to make war with the remnant of her 
seed, ' which keep the commandments of God, 
and have the testimony of Jc^us Christ. 

CHAP. XIII. 
1 A beast riseth out of the sea ivith seven heads 
and ten horns, to ivhom the dragon giveih his 
po^ver. • 1 1 Another beast comet h up out of the 
earth ; 14 causeth an image to be made of the 
former beast, 15 and that men should worship 
it, 16 and receive his mark. 

AND I stood upon the sand of the sea, ' and 
saw a beast rise up out of the sea, '' having 
seven heads and ten horns, and upon his horns 
ten crowns, and upon his heads the |1 name of 
blasphemy. 

2 And the beast which I saw was like ' unto a 
leopard, and "^ his feet were as the feet of a bear, 
" and his mouth as the mouth of a lion ; and the 
dragon gave him his power, and his seat, and 
great authority. 

3 And I saw one of his heads as it were 
t wounded to death ; and his deadly wound 
was healed : and all the world ^ wondered after 
the beast. , 

4 And they worshipped the dragon which 
gave power unto the beast ; and they worship- 
ped the beast, saying, ^ Who is like unto the 
beast ? who is able to make war with him ? 

5 And there was given unto him a moutli 
*' speaking great things, and blasphemies ; and 
power was given unto him || to continue forty 
and two months. 

6 And he opened his mouUi in blasphemy 
against God, to blaspheme his name, and his 
tabernacle, and them that dwell in heaven. 

• 7 And it was given unto him to make ' war 
w ith the saints, and to overcome them : and 
power was given him over all ^ kindreds, and 
tongues, and nations, 

8 And all that dwell upon the earth shall 
worship him, ' whose names are not written in 
the book of life of the Lamb slain from the 
founda'ion of the world. 

9 If any man have an ear, let him hear. 

10 He that leadeth into captivity, *" shall go 
into cnptiviiy ; " he that killeth with the sword, 
nuist be killed with the sword. Here is the 
patience and the faii.li of the saints. 

1 1 And I beheld another ° beast oming up 
out of the earth ; and he had two honis like a 
lamb, ajid he spake as a dragon. 



I^VELATION. 

12 And 



An angel preacheth the gospel, 

he exerciscth all the power of 
the first beast before him, and causeth the 
earth, and them which dwell therein, to wor- 
ship the first beast, p whose deadly wound was 
healed. 

13 And he '' doeth great wonders, so that he 
maketh fire come down froni heaven on the 
earth in the sight of men, 

14 And "^ deceiveth them that dwell on the 
earth bj' the means of those miracles which he 
had power to do in die sight of the beas^ ; 
sajing to them that dwell on the earth, that they 
should make an image to the beast which had 
the wound by a sword, and did live. 

15 And he had power to give f life unto the 
image of tlie beast, that the image of the beast 
should both speak, and cause that as many as 
would not worship the image of the beast should 
be killed. 

16 And he causeth all, both small and great, 
rich and poor, free and bond, t to receive a 
mark in their right hand, or in their fore- 
heads : 

17 And that no man might buy or sell, save 
he that had the mark, or the name of the beast, 
or the ' number of his name. 

18 * Here is wisdom. Let him that hath un- 
derstanding count the number of the beast : for 
it is the number " of a man ; and his number is 
six hundred threescore and ^\k.

AND I looked, and, * lo, a Lamb stood on

forty and four thousand, having his Father's 
name wriucn in " their forch .ads. 

2 And I heard a ^^ce from heaven, •'as the 
voice of many \\ alK, and as the voice of a 
great thunder : and Iheard the voice of* harpers 
harping w ith their h:u"ps : 

3 And they "^.sung as it were a new song before 
the throne, and beibre the four beasts and the 
elders: and no man could karn that song but 
the ^ hun'Ired and forty fz//r/ four thousand, which

8 And the fourth angel poured out his vial 
' upon the sun; and power was given *" unto him j 
to scorch men with fire. 

9 And men were II scorched with great heat, 
"and blasphemed the name of God, \\hich hath 
power o\tr these plagues: and they repented 
not ;o give him glory. 

10 And the fifth angel poured out his vial ' 
° upon the seat of the beast; and his kingdom 
was full of darkness; p and they gnawed their 
toi gues for pain, 

11 And blasphemed the God of heaven, be- 
cause of their pains and their sores, and repented 
not of their deeds. 

12 And the sixth angel ponred out his vial 
upon the ■» great river Euphrate ; and the water 
thereof \\as dried up, "■ that the way of the 
kings of the east might be prepared. 

13 And I saw three unclean * spirits, like 
frogs, cojne out of the mouth of the ' dragon, 
and out of the mouth of the beast, and out of 
the mouth of" the false prophet. 

14 For " they are the spirits of devils, work- 
ing miracles, ivhich go forth unto the kings of 
the earth, and of the whole world, to gather 
them to the * battle of that great day of God Al- 
mighty. 

15 ^ Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he 
that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he 
walk naked, and they see his shame. 

16 And he gathered them together into a 
place, called in the Hebrew tongue, Arma- 
geddon. 

17 And the seventh angel poured out his vial 
into the air; and there came a great voice out of 
the temple of heaven, from the throne, saying, 
' It is done. 

18 And ^ there were voices, and thunders, 
and lightnings; and there was a great earth- 

, quake, ' such as was not siiice men were up- 
on the earth, so mighty an earthquake, and so

19 And the ^ great city was divided into three 
parts, and the cities of the nations fell: and great 
Babylon came in "^ remembrance before God, 
^' to give unto her the cup of the wine of the 
fierceness of his wrath. 

20 And ' every island fled away, and the 
mountains were not found. 

21 And there fell upon men a * great hail out

"that sitteth upon many waters: 

2 With whom the kings of the earth have „„ . , 
committed fornication, «» and the inhabitants of cjt»» 
the earth ha^•e been made drunk with the wine ' 
of her fornication. 

3 So he carried me away in the spirit into the 
wilderness; and I saw a woman sit upon ' a scar- eci,ai< 
let-coloured beast, full of names ^ of blasphemy, "•'• 
8 having se\en heads, and ten horns, m?1"7' 

4 And the woman was arrayed in purple and evem?

5 And upon her forehead ivas a name writ-

6 And I saw the woman *" drunken with the 
blood of the saints, and w ith the blood of the 
martyrs of Jesus : and when I saw her, I won- 
dered with great admiration. 

_ 7 And the angel said unto me, \Mierefore 
didst thou marvel? I will tell thee the mystery 
of the woman, and of the beast that earrieth 
her, which hath the seven heads, and ten 
horns. 

8 The beast that thou sawest, was, and is 
not; "and shall a.scend out of the bottomless 
pit, ° and go into perdition: and they that 
dwell on the earth shall wonder, (« ho.se names )3. u 
were not written in the book of liie from the 
foundation of the world,) when they behold the 
beast that was, and is not, and yet is. 

9 And here is p the mind which hath wisdom. 
1 The seven heads ai-e se\en mountains, on which 
the woman sitteth. 

10 And there are seven kings: five are fallen, 
and one is, and the other is not yet come; 
and when he cometh, he must continue a short 
space. 

1 1 And the beast that was, and is not, even he 
is the eighth, and is of the seven, "■ and goeth into 
perdition. 

12 And ' the ten horns which thou sawest are 
ten kings, which have received no kingdom as 
yet; but i-^cei\e power as kings one hour with 
the beast. 

13 These liave one mind, and shall give their 
power and strength unto the beast. 

14 These sliall make war with the Laml.>, 
and the Lamb shall overcome them: ' for he 
is Lord of h^rds, and King of kings; and they 
" that art with him are called, and chosen, and 
faithful. 

15 And he saith unto me, "" The waters xVfr--i 
which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth,

16 And the ten horns which tliou sawest upon

The fall of Babylon : 

17 For God hath ^ put in their hearts to fulfil 
his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom 
unto tlie beast, until the words of God ' shall be 
fulfilled. 

18 And the woman which thou sawest, ^\s 
that great city, which reigneth over the kings of 
the earth. 

CHAP. XVIII. 
■2 Babi/lon is fallen. 4 The people of ^ God com- 
Tiumdedto depart out of her. 9 The kings of the 
earth, 11 ivith the merchants and mariners, la- 
ment o'cer her. 20 The saints rejoice for .the 
judgments of God upon her. ' 
\ ND after ^ these things, I saw another angel 
jlV come do\\n fi-om hea\;en, having great 
power ; '' and the earth \vas lightened Mith his 

glory- 

2 And he cried mightily with a strong voice, 
saying, = Babylon the gi-eat is fallen, is fallen, 
^ and is become the habitation of devils, and the 
hold of every foul spirit, and a cage of every un- 
clean and hateful bird. 

3 For all " nations have drunk of the wine of 
the v.rath of her fornication, and the kings of the 
earth have committed fornicaiion with her, and 
the merchants of the earth are waxed rich through 
the I! abundance of her delicacies. 

4 And I heard another voice from heaven, 
saying, *'Come out of her, my people, that ye be 
not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not 
of her plagues :

shall be utterly burned with fire ; for strong is the

3 And again they said, AlleHiia. And ' her 
smoke rose up for ever aiul ever. 

4 And 'the four and twenty elders, and the 
foi:r beasts, fell down and worshijjpcd God that 
sa' on tlie throne, saying, ^ Amen; Allehiia. 

5 And a voice came out of the throne, saying, 
Praive our God, all ye his servants, and ye that 
fear him, both small and great. 

6 And ** I heard, as it were the voice of a great 
multitude, and as the ^■()ice of many waters, 
and as the voice of miqhty thunderings, say- 
ing. Alleluia: for the Lord God Omnipotent 
reigneth. 

7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour 
to him; ' for the marriage of the Lamb is come, 
and his wife hath made herself ready. 

8 And to her was granted, that she should be 
arrayed in fine linen, '' clean and white: for the 
fine linen istre righteousness of saints. 

9 And he saith unto me. Write, Blessed are 
they which are called unto 'the marriage-supper 
of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, ■" These 
are the true ."-ayings of God. 

10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. 
And he said unto me, " See tbou do it no^ ; I 
am thy fello^^ -servant, and oi thy brethren 
that have ° the testimony of Jesus. Worship 
God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit 
oi' prophecy. 

11 And I siiw heaven '' opened, and, behold, 
'' a w hite horse : and he that sat upon him ivas 
called Faithful and True; and ^ in righteousness 
he dolh juc!ge and make var. 

12 Hib tyes ivcrc as a flame of fire, and on his 
head •tftr*:' many erouns; and he had 'a name 
written, that no man knew, but he himself. 

13 * And he was clothed with a vesture, dip- 
md in blood; and his name is called, " The 
\\ ord of God. 

14 And the armies ivbicb were in heaven fol- 
lowed him uiK)n \\hi!e hort;es, * clothed in fine 
lintn, white and clean. 

15 And y out of his mouth goeth a sharp 
sword, that v i'h it he should smite the nations; 
and he shall lule thtm viih a rod of iron: and 
he treadeih the wine-press of the fierceness and 
wrath of Almight> God. 

16 And he hath on bis vesture, and on his 
thigh, a name writK n, " KIKG OF KINGS, 
AND LORD OF LORDS. 

17 And I saw an angel standing in the sun: 
and he cried with a loud voice, saying to all 
*" the foM Is that fly in the midst of lieii\ en, Come, 
'and gai her yourselves together, unto the supper 
of the great God; 

IH That ye may '' eat the fle.sh of kings, and 
the flebh of captains, and the flesh of mighty men, 
and the flesh of horses, and of them that sit on 
them, and the flesh of all mm, both free and 
bond, * both small and great. 

19 And I saw 'the beast, and the kings of the 
, earth, and their armies, gathered together to 
' make war against him that sat on the horse, and 
against his army.

him, with which he deceived them that had

j alive into a lake of fire, burning with brim- 
stone. 

21 And the remnant were'^slain with the sword 
of him that sat upon the horse, vvliich sivord pro- 
ceeded out of his mouth: and all ' the fowls were 
filled '' with their flesh.

2 Satan bound for a thousand years. 5 The first 
resurrection : 6 Toei/ are blessed that haiie part 
therein. 7 Satan let loose a^ain. 8 Gog and Ma- 
go^. 10 The devil cast into the lake of fire and 
brimstone. 1 2 The last and general resurrection. 
A ND I saw an angel come down from heaven, 
1. JL ha vi ng » the key of the bottomless pit, and 
a great chain in his hand. 

2 And he laid hold on ^ tht dragon, that old 
serpent, which is the Devil, and Satan, and 
' bound him a thousand years, 

3 And cast him into the bottomless pit, and 
shut him up, and ^ set a seal upon him, that he 
should deceive the nations no more, till the thou- 
sand years should be fulfilled: and after that, he 
must be loosed a little season. 

4 And I saw ' thrones, and they sat upon 
them, and 'judgment was given unto them: and 
I saiv ^ the souls of them that were beheaded for 
the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, 
and which had not worshipped the bciist, nei- 
ther his image, neither had received his mark 
upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they 
lived and ** reigned with Christ a thousand years. 

5 But the rest of the dead lived not again, un- 
til the thousand years were finished. This is the 
first resurrection. 

6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the 
first resunectioa; on such ' the second death 
hath no power; but they shall be priests of God 
and of Christ, and shall reign with him a tliou- 
sand years. 

7 And when ^ the thousand years are expired, 
Satan shall be loosed out of his prison, 

8 And shall go out ^ to deceive the nations 
which are in the four quarters of the earth, 
■" Gog and Magog, " to gather them together to 
battle: thetiumber of whom is as the sand of the 
sea. 

9 And they went up on ° the breadth of the 
earth, and compassed the camp of the saints 
about, and the beloved city : and fire came down 
from God, out of heaven, and devoured them. 

10 And the devil that deceived them, was cast 
into the lake of lire and iirimstone, where ''the 
beast and the false prophet are, and '^ shall be tor- 
mented day and night, for ever and ever. 

1 1 And I saw a great white throne, and him 
that sat on it, from whose face ' the earth and the 
heaven fled away ; and ' there was found no place 
lor them. 

12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand 
before God: ' and the books were opened; and 
another " book was opened, which is the book of 

life:

things which « ere written in the books, accord- 
ing to their works. 

13 And the sea gave up the dead which were 
in it ; and "^ death and I! hell delivered up the dead 
which were in them: and they were judged 
every ruan according to their works. 

14 And ^ death and hell were cast into the 
lake of fire. ^ This is the second death. 

15 And whosoever was not found written in 
the book of life, was cast into the lake of fire. 

CHAP. XXI. 
A new heaven and a new earth. 10 The hea- 
venly Jerusalem^ with a Jull description thereof: 
23 she needeth no sun, the glory of God being 
her light : 24 the kings of the earth bring their 
riches unto her. 
ND *I ssltj a new heaven and a new 
earth : '' for the first heaven and the first 
earth were passed away; and there was no 
more sea. 

2 And I John saw "^ the holy city, new Je- 
rusalem, coming down from God out of hea- 
ven, prepared ^ as a bride adorned for her 
husband. 

3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven, 
saying. Behold, * the tabernacle of God is m ith 
men, and he will dwell with them, and they 
shall be his people, and God himself shall be 
with them, and be their God. 

4 ^ And God shall wipe away all tears from 
their eyes : and ^ there shall be no more death, 
neither sorrow nor crying, neither shall there 
be any more pain : for the former things are 
passed away. 

5 And he that sat upon the throne, said, ^ Be- 
hold, I make all things new. And he said un- 
to me, Write : for these words are true and 
faithful. 

6 And he said unto me, ' It is done. ^ I am 
Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end : 
' I will give unto him that is athirst, of the foun- 
tain of the water of life, freely. 

7 He that overcometh, shall inherit ""all things; 
and I will be his God, and he shall be my 
son. 

8 But the fearful, and " unbelieving, and the 
abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, 
and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall 
have their part in ° the lake, which burneth with 
fire and brimstone; which is the second death. 

9 And there came unto me one of ^ the seven 
angels, which had the seven vials full of the se- 
ven last plagues, and talked with me, saying, 
Come hither, I will shew thee ^ the bride, the 
Lamb's wife. 

10 And he carried me away "" in the spirit to a 
great and high mountain, and shewed me • that 
great city, the holy Jerusalem, descending out 
of heaven from God, 

11 Having 'the glory of God : and her light 
was like unto a stone most precious, even like a 
jasper-stone, clear as crystal ; 

12 And had a wall great and high, " aizd had 
«, 31-3* twelve gates, and at the gates twelve angels,.

and names written thereon, which are the names 
of the twelve tribes of the children of Israel. 

13 On the east, three gates; on the north, 
three gates ; on the south, three gates ; and on 
the west, three gates. 

14 And the wall of the city had twelve ^ foun- 
dations, and in them the names of the twelve 
apostles of the Lamb. 

15 And he that talked with me had a golden 
^ reed to measure the city, and the gates thereof, 
and the wall thereof. 

16 And the city lieth four-square, and the 
length is as large as the breadth. And he mea- 
sured the city with the reed, twelve thousand 
furlongs: the length, and tlije breadth, and the 
height of it, are equal. 

17 And he measured the wall thereof, an hun- 
dred and forty and four cubits, according to the 
measure of a man, that is, of tlie angel. 

18 And the building of the wall of it was oj 
jasper : and the city was pure gold, like unto 
clear glass. 

19 And the "" foundations of the wall of the 
city were garnished with al manner of precious 
sto ^,es. The iirst foundation was jasper ; the 
second, sapphire; the third, a chalcedony; the 
fourth, an emerald; 

20 The fifth, sardonyx; the sixth, sardius; 
the seventh, chrysolite; the eighth, beryl; the 
ninth, a topaz ; the tenth, a chrysoprasus ; the 
eleventh, a jacinth; the twelfth, an amethyst. 

21 And the twelve gates xvere twelve pearls ; 
every several gate was of one pearl : and ^ the 
street of the city was pure gold, as it were 
transparent glass. 

22 And I saw no temple therein : for the Lord 
God Almighty, and the Lamb, are the temple 
of it. 

23 ^ And the city had no need of the sun, 
neither of the moon, to shine in it: for the glory 
of God did lighten it, and the Lamb is the light 
thereof. 

24 * And the nations of them which are saved, 
shall walk in the light of it; and the kings of 
the earth do bring their glory and honour 
into it. 

25 ^ And the gates of it shall not be shut at 
all by day ; for '^ there shall be no night there. 

26 '' And they shall bring the glory and honour 
of the nations into it. 

27 And * there shall in no wise enter into it any 
thing that defileth, neither whatsoever worketh 
abomination, or maketh a lie : but they which 
are written in the Lamb's ^ book of life.

JUDEA, PALESTINE, OR THE HOLY LAND. 



PALESTINE is bounded on the north, by Mount 
Libanus, or Lebanon, which separates it from that 
part of Syria, anciently called Phoenicia ; on the east by 
Mount Hermon, which divides it from Arabia Deser'-a ; 
on the south by Arabia Petrea ; and on the west by 
the Mediterranean Sea, or sea of Syria. 

This country received the name of Palestine from 
the Philistines, who dwelt on the sea coast : it was call- 
ed Judea, from Juda: and it is termed the Holy Land, 
being the country where Jesus Christ was bom, preach- 
ed his holy doctrines, confirmed them by miracles, and 
laid down his life for mankind. Palestine is about one 
hundred and eightj^-five miles in length, and generally 
eighty in breadth ; it is situated between 31° and 33° 40' 
north latitude. 

The climate of Palestine is, during a great part of the 
year, very hot. The easterly winds are usually dry, 
though they are sometimes tempestuous ; and those 
which are westerly, are attended \\ ith rain. The heat 
here might be expected to be excessive ; yet Mount 
Libanus, from its uncommon height, is covered all the 
winter with snow. 

1 he first rains, as they are called, generally fall about 
the beginning of November ; and the latter rains, in 
the month of April. In the country round Jerusalem, 
if a moderate quantity of snow falls in the beginning 
of February, and the brooks soon after overflow their 
banks, it is thought to forebode a fruitful year; and 
the inhabitants make rejoicings upon this occasion, as 
the Egyptians do with respect to the Nile : this coun- 
trj' is seldom refreshed with rain during the summer 
season. 

The rocks of Judea are, in many places, covered with 
J. soft chalky substance, in which is enclosed a great va- 
riety of shells and corals. The greatest part of the moun- 
tains of Carmel, and those of Jerusalem and Bethlehem, 
are overspread wnth a white chalky stratum. In mount 
Carmel, are gathered many stones, which, being in the 
form of olives, melons, peaches, and other ftoiit, are 
imposed upon pilgrims, not only as those fruits petrified, 
but as antidotes against several diseases. 

With respect to the rivers of the country, the Jordan, 
called by the Arabs Sceriah, is not only the most con- 
siderable, but, next to the Nile, is the largest, either 
in the Le\'ant or in Barbary. It has its source at the 
bottom of Mount Libanus or Lebanon, and is formed 
from the waters of two foinitains, which are about 
a mile distant from each other. One of them lies to 
the east, and is called Jor ; the other, which is expos- 
ed to the south, is named Dan. The confluence of the 
L\\ o streams is found near the ancient city of Cesarea 
Phihppi, which is at present only a village, and called 
Belinc. The river takes a course bet\\een the E. and 
S. and afler running seven miles, falls into the lake 
Samochon or Mathon, at present called Huletpanias, 
about six miles in length, from north to south, and 
nearly four in breadth, from east to west. The Jordan 
issues from this lake, and flows through a great plain, 
passing under a stone bridge called Jacob's Bridge, con- 
sisting of three arches, Avell constructed. The river 
then continues its course as far as the lake of Tiberias, 



near the ancient cities of Chorazin and Capemaun^, 
where it mixes with its waters. AMien it issues from 
this lake, which is about eighteen miles in length, 
and eight in breadth, it takes the name of Jordan Major, 
dividing Perea from Samaria, the plains of the Moabites 
from Judea, and receiving the waters of the Dibon, the 
Jazer, the Jacob, and the Carith ; after being augmented 
by these streams, in a course of sixty-five miles from 
the lake of Tiberias, or sea of Galilee, it discharges it- 
self into the Dead Sea. The Jordan, in the rainy sea- 
sons, overflo\is its banks, to the distance of more than 
four miles ; and on account of the inequality of the 
ground, forms two or three channels. Its current is 
extremely rapid, and the water ah^-ays muddy: bu: 
when taken from the river, and put into any kind of ves- 
sel, it very soon cUxrifies, and is sweet. 
_ The Dead Sea is a name of modern date; the an 
cients called it the lake of Asphaltite^, the sea of Sodom, 
the Salt sea, the lake of Sirbon ; the Arabs name it 
Bahheret-Lut : that is, the sea of Lot. It is about fifty 
miles in length, and ten in breadth. The lofty moun- 
tains of the country of the Moabites are on the eastern 
side, and discharge into it the waters of Arnon and the 
Jaret, On the west and south it is bounded by very 
high mounains also. It is likewise on the west that the 
brook Cedron, which rises at Jerusalem, empties into 
this sea. 

We are informed that this vast lake was covered for-^ 
merly widi fruit trees and abundant crops, and that 
from the bosom of the earth, now buried under its wa- 
ters, arose the superb cities of Sodom, Gomorrah, 
Admah, Zeboiim and Segor. No plants of any kind 
grow in this lake. The bottom of it is black, "thick, 
and foetid. Branches of ti-ees, which fall therein, be- 
come petrified in a little time. The Dead Sea pro- 
duces a kind of bitumen, which may be found floating 
on the surface, like large lumps of earth. This bitu^ 
men is a sulphureous substance, mixed with salt ; it is 
as brittle as black pitch, is combustible, and exhales. 
while burning, a strong and penetrating smell. The 
ancient Arabs used it for smearing and embalming their 
dead, to preserve them from perishing. The motm • 
tains near this sea produce a kind of black stone, which, 
when polished, has a beautiful lustre. 

Acra, or Acre, (now called St. John de Acre, and 
which the Arabs call Accho, or Akka,) is one of the 
places from which the Israelites could not expel the 
ancient Canaanites, and was formerly reckoned among 
the ancient cities of Phoenicia. It is also known by the 
name of P:olemais. The situation is advantageous, 
on the north and east, it is encompassed by a fertile 
plain ; on the west it is washed bj' the Mediterranean ; 
and on the south by v. large bay, which extends from 
the city as far as IVlount Carmel. It contains little 
more than a few cottages, and heaps of ruins. The re- 
sidence of the bashaw of the province is at this place. 

To the south of Acre, is Scbasta, the ancient Sama 
ria, the capital of the ten tribes after their revolt from 
the house of David. It is seated on a long mount, 
which rises in a fruitful valley, and is now converted 
into gardens. 

A little 



i048 



Judea, Palestine, or the Holy Land. 



A little further to the south is Naplosa, the ancient 
Sycheni, which stands in a narrow valley, between 
Mount Ebal on the north, and Geri^jm on the south. 
At a small distance from Naplosa, is Jacob's well, fa- 
TTious for Ciirist's conference with the woman of Sa- 
maria. 

Jerusalem is encompassed with hills, so that the city 
seems as if situated in an amphitheatre : ihere are few 
remains of the city, as it appeared in Christ's time; the 
situation being changed; for. Mount Sion, the highest 
part of ancient Jerusalem, is almost excluded : while 
the places adjoining to Mount Calvary, are nearly in the 
centre. This city, which is about three miles in cir- 
cumference, is situated on a rocky mountain, on iill 
sides of \\ hich are steep ascents, except towards the 
north. The walls are not strong, nor have they any 
bastions. The city has six gates. There are suppos- 
ed to be about twelve or fourteen tliousand inhabitants 
in Jerusalem. 

Jasa, the ancient Joppa, is the port ^here the pil- 
grims disembark. They generally arri\e in Novem- 
ber, and repair without delay to Jerusalem. 

Bethlehem, also called Ephrata, and the city of Da- 
vid, is famous for being the birth-place of Christ. It 
is about two miles to ihc S. E. of Jerusalem, on the 
rid;^e of a hill ; at present only an inconsiderable place. 

Raha, the ancient Jericho, is eighteen miles N. E. of 
Jerusalem, situated in a plain six or seven leagues long, 
by Uiree wide, surrounded by a number of barren 
mountains. 

llabroun, or Hebron, is twenty-four miles S. of 
Bethlehem. The Arabs call it El-Kahil, the well-be- 
loved. It IS situated at the foot of an eminence, on 
which are some remains of an ancient castle. 

Nazareth, now only a small village, is on the top of 
a high hill. 

Cana of Galilee, otherwise called Cana Minor, cele- 
brated for the miracle wrought by Christ, of changing 
the w ater into w ine, is nothing more than a small vil- 
lage, witli very f.w inhabitan s. 

Sidon, called by the 'J'urks Sayd, is situated on the 
sea-coast. It was anciently a place of great strength, 
and had a very extensive commerce. Though it is 
still populous, and a place of considerable trade, it has 
fallen from its ancient grandeur. Its exports consist 
in silks, with raw and spun cotton; the manufactur- 
ing of which employs most of ihe inhabitan. s, amount- 
ing to about five thousinid. The cit} is defendetl by 
an old castle, built in liie sea. 

T\ re, called by the Turks Sour, is about twentj' 
miles to the south of Siclon'. It was once very cele- 
brated for its purple, called the Tyrian dye, produced 
from a shell-fish. This city was, in ancienT times, ihe 
centre of an immense commerce and navigation, and 
the nurse of art,-) and sciences. The ancient city stood, 
originally, on an island, joined to the main land by a 
mole ; the remains of which apjxar at preseni. It lias 
two harbours; that on tlie north side is very good; 
but the other is choked up with ruins. Tlie piesLiii 
inhabitants are only a few poor dbhermen, who live in 
vaults and cfvcs. 

Cesarea was at first cuiled Strabo's Tower ; and was 
the capital of Palestine. This city was divided into 



two parts by a litlc hill, whereon wa.s errctcd a tern 
pie dedicated to Cesar. 

Jericho is situated in a large plain about twenty miles 
long, and en broad, bounded by variety of mountains 
on the south-west, the west, and north; it is at present 
inhabited by a few miserable Arabs. 

The Mount of Forty days, is situated on the north 
side of the plain of Jericho : the summit is covered 
neither with shrubs, trees, nor ear.h, but ronsists of a 
solid mass of w hi e marble : it is very difficult and 
dangerous to ascend, the pa h leading by a winding 
course, bctAveen two dismal abysses. This mountain 
is one of the highest in the province, and one of its 
most sacred places. It takes its name from the rigor- 
ous fast which Christ observed here. From this mount 
may be seen the hills of Arabia, die country of Gilcad, 
the coimtry of the Ammonites, the plains of Moab, 
and that of Jericho, the river Jordan, and the whole 
extent of the Dead Sea. Opposite to Jericho, beyond 
Jordan, rises mount Nebo. 

Mount Carmi 1, on the south side of the bay of Acre, 
projects at one part into the sea, forming a great pro- 
montory, called the point of Carmel. There are a 
number of grottos, gardens, and convents, on this 
mount ; as also many cisterns for receiving the rain 
w ater. On this mountain was a fortress called Ec- 
ba'.ane. 

Mount Tabor is most delightfiilly situated, rising 
amidst the plains of Galilee, distant about twelve miies 
from the ciy of Tiberias ; it is distinguished by differ- 
ent names, as Itabyrion, Taburium, and by the Arabs 
Gibel-el-Tor. It is in appearance like a sugar loaf, and 
is covered from he top to the bottom wi h small trees. 

Palestine, which comprehends the ancient country 
of Canaan, and was occupied by nine tribes of Israel, 
has experienced many and severe revolutions : the ex- 
treme fertility of the country, and its many ad\antages 
and happy situation, induced the neighbouring and 
powerful kingdoms to .>ttempt its subjec ion : most of 
them succeeded in reducing to obedience and slavery, 
the peaceable inhabitants : he Persians, S;tracens, Sy- 
rians, and Romans, have alternately been masters, for 
a time, and then obliged to yield to superior force : they 
treated the conquered wi h the utmost baib-.rity, and 
committed the greatest devastation and slaughter; not 
e\ en sparing old or young, women, or helpless chil- 
dren. Thus i. continued changing its ferocious mas- 
ters, until, in die twelfth cen ur>', the Turks taking 
Cesi'.rea, the whole country fell in o their possession; 
and has continued under their pow er ever since : The 
innumenble scenes of blood and desolation exhibited 
in diis country, hive changed it from that happy, fruit- 
ful and prosperous sUite, so beautifully described in 
Deuteronomy, 'o an almost uninhabi ed desert, and 
heap of ruins ; few traces of its ancient splendor re- 
main ; lUKl confusion and doubt hang over all the re- 
searches of the enquirer. 

Tlie present masters exercise unlimited and tyranni- 
cal authority over their slaves, in P ilestine, keeping the 
miserable inhabitants in tlie utmost subjection ; go- 
verning them by Caliphs and Bashaws, wi ii rods of 
iron ; and holding them in the most deplorable igno- 
rance and superstition.

The third age of the world. 

ABRAM, after his father's decease, in the 75th 
year of his age, is commanded by God to enter up- 
on the land of Canaan, which God promiseth to give 
unto his seed, and that in his seed f-uiz. Christ Je- 
sus our Lord) all the families of the earth should be 
blessed. 

In the year following, a famine in the land of Ca- 
naan forceth Abram with his family to go into Eg)pt. 
From this first coming into Egypt, to the departure 
of the children of Israel out of it, are reckoned 430 
years. 

Abram and Lot, in this same year, return into 
Canaan ; but the land not being sufficient for both 
their flocks, they part asunder. Lot goeth to Sod- 
om. God reneweth his promise to Abram ; he re- 
moveth to Hebron, and there buildeth an altar. 

Bera, the king of Sodom, with four other kings, 
rebel against Ch>.dorlaomer, but are overcome by 
him in the valley of Siddim. Lot being taken pri- 
soner, Abram rescueth him, slayeth Chedorlaomer 
and his confederates, and in his return is blessed 
by Melchizedek king of Salem, and priest of God, 
to whom Abram gives tithe. The rest of the spoils, 
his partners having had their portions, he restoretli 
to the king of Sodom 

Abram complaineth for want of an heir ; God 
promiseth him a son, and a multiplying of his seed. 
Canaan is promised again, and confirmed by a sign. 

Sarai, being barren, giveth Hagar her handmaid 
to Abram. 

Islimael, Hagar's son, born. 

Arphaxad, the third from Noah, dieth. 

God maketh a covenant with Abram, and in to- 
ken of a greater blessing, changeth his name into 
Abraham. As a seal of this covenant circumcision 
is ordained. The name of Sarai also is changed into 
Sarah, and she is blessed. God promiseth them a 
son, and commandeth that his name be called Isaac; 
in him God promiseth to establish his covenant. 

Abraham entertaineth tliree angeis, who renew 
the promise to liim of having a son. God revcaleth 
to Abraham the destruction of Sodom, witli whom 
Abraham intercedes for Lot and his family. See 
Gen. xix. 29. 

Lot is commanded, for the preservation of him- 
self and his family, to get out of Sodom, and to flee 
to the mountain ; but by much entreaty he obtaineth 
leave to go into Zoar. Sodom, Gomorrah, and all 
the cities ia the vale of Siddim, with all the inhabi- 
tants of them, are, for the most horrible sins, dc- 
strcwed by fire and brimstone from heaven. The

tcr of Elon the Hittite. 

Ishmael dieth, aged 137 years. 
Jacob, by his mother's instruction, obtaineth the 
blessing from Isaac his father, which was designed 
for Esau. Upon which he is forced to flee into Me- 
sopotamia to shun his brother's rage. Upon the 
way, are foretold unto him, in a vision, the blessings 
of his posterity. At length he comcth to his uncle 
Laban's house, and covenantelh to serve him seven 
years for his daughter Rachel, but Laban deceiveth 
him with Le.ih ; the marriage week being com- 
])leted, Rachel also is given him to wife, upon con- 
dition of serving seven years more. 
Of Leah are born,

his flock. I 

Jacob, after he had been twenty years in Meso- 
potamia, sets forward on his journey homewards 
without acquainting his father or his brothers-in- 
law. Rachel stealeth her father's gods, and is pur-| 
sued by Laban. Jacob, by his prudence, is recon- 
ciled to his brother Esau. He wrestleth with an' 
angel at Pcnicl, and is called Israel. | 

About this time Dinah, Jacob's daughter, is de- 
flowi-re<l by Shechcm the son of Hamor. Simeon! 
and Levi, Dinah's brethren, revenge their sister'sj 
(piarrcl, by jjuttini^ all the males of Shechem to the:

Judah lieth with Tamar his daughter-in-law in 
disguise. 

Joseph is hated by his brethren, and is sold to 
merchant-men, Ishmeelites and Midianites, ♦ho 
carry- him into Egj'pt, where he is sold to Potiphar 
an officer of Pharaoh, and by him made overseer 
f)f his house. 

Joseph resisteth the temptations of his master's 
wife ; he is falsely accused by her and cast into 
prison. He interpreteth the dreams of Pharaoh's 
butler and baker, which come to pass according to 
his interpretation. 

Isaac dieth, aged 180 years, and is buried by his 
sons Jacob and E^au. 



Genesis | Joseph interpreteth Pharaoh's two drc.".ms ; he 

XLI. 25 giveth Pharaoh counsel, and is made governor of 

the whole land of Egypt. 

47 Here begin the seven years of plenty in the land 

50 of Egypt. About this time Manasseh and Ephraim, 

Joseph's two sons, are born of Asenath, the daugh-- 

ter of Poti-pherah priest of On. 

54 Here begin the seven years of famine. 

XLII. 1,2,3 Jacob seiuleth his ten sons to buy corn in Egypt; 

they arc imprisoned by Joseph as spies ; but are 

set at liberty on condition of bringing Benjamin ; 

and Simeon is kept as a pledge. 

I Jacob is with much difficulty persuaded to send 

Benjamin. Joseph maketh himself known to his 

|brethren, and sendeth for his father, by command 

from Pharaoh. 

Jacob, having offered sacrifice to God for that his 
son Joseph is yet alive, goes with all his family into 
Egjpt in the third year of the famine, and 130th 
year of his age. He is seated in the land of Goshen. 
Joseph getteth all the money, lands, and cattle of 
the Egy])tians, for bread ; oidy the lands belonging 
to the priests he buyeth not. 

Jacob adopteth Ephraim and Manasseh, and 
blesseth them, and all his sons ; prophesieth the 
descent of the Messiah- front Judah, and dieth, aged 
147 years; 17 whereof he lived in Egypt. He is 
with great pomp carried into Canaan, and buried 
in the sepulchre of his father. 

Joseph, on his death-bed, prophesieth unto his 
brethren their return to Canaan ; takes an oath of 
them to carry his bones out of Egypt, and dieth,. 
aged 110 years. 

The book of Genesis endeth in the death of Jo- 
seph, containing the history of 2369 years ; next to 
which, in order of time, the book of Job follows, 
written (as it is generally believed) by Moses. 

Levi dieth in Egypt, aged 137 years; he was 
grandfather to Moses and Aaron. 

Here begins the bondage of the children of Is- 
rael, when a king rose up in Egypt v* iio Jjicw not 
Joseph. 

Aaron born three years before his brother Mo- 
ses, 83 years before the departure of the children 
of Israel out of Egypt. 

Pharaoh, having in vain commanded tlieHebrcv/ 
midwives to destroy all the males of the Israelites, 
sets forth an edict, charging that tiiey be all cas^ 
into the river. 

Moses is born, who being hid in the flags by the 
river side, is found by Pharaoh's daughter, and be- 
comes her adopted son. 

Moses, in the 40th year of his age, having slain 
an Egyptian, whom he saw contending with an He- 
brew, flecth into Midian, where he marrieih Zip- 
porah the daughter of Reuel or Jethro, a priest, 
and li\ eth with him 40 years. 

Caleb, the son of Jephunneh, born. 
Whilst Moses keeps his father-in-law's sheep at 
mount Horeb, God appeareth to him in a burning 
bush, and sendeth him to deliver Israel. 

Moses and Aaron, having declared to Pharaoh 
the message on which they are sent unto him from 
God., are charged by him as heads of a mutmy, and 
sent away with many bad words ; and ino-e griev- 
ous labours are forthwith laid upon the Israelites. 

Moses, being now 80, and Aaron 83 years of age, 
urged thereunto by God, return again to Pharaoh, 
where the magicians, by their sorcery, imiUting 
the miracle of Aaron's rod turned into a serpent, 
make Pharaoh more obstinate than he was before. 
Wherefore God, l>y the hand of Moses, lays ten 
plagues upon the Egyptians. 

The fourth age of the -world. 

UPON the fourteenth day of the first month,

night, the first-born of Egypt being all slain, Pha- 
raoh and his servants make haste to send a^^'ay the 
Israelites ; and they, the self-same day wherein they 
were let go out of bondage, being the complete term 
of 430 years from the first pilgrimage of their an- 
cestors, reckoning from Abraham's departure out 
of Charran, take their journey, and march away, 
being 600,000 men, besides children, and come to 
Rameses, from whence, by several encampings they 
come to the Red Sea, the Lord conducting them in 
a pillar of a cloud by- day, and in a pillar of fire by 
night. They carry Joseph's bones wich them. 

At the Red Sea Pharaoh with his host overtakes 
them ; Moses divides the waters with his rod, and 
the children of Israel pass through on dry ground, 
unto the desert of Etham ; whom when Pharaoh 
and his army would needs follow, they are all over- 
whelmed by the waters coming together at the 
dawning of the day, whereby the Israelites are 
iwholly freed from the bondage of the Egyptians ; 
whose carcases when they see floating all the sea 
over, and cast upon the shore, they sing a song of 
praise and thanksgiving unto God. 

Upon the fifteenth of the second month, (our 
June the 4th, being Thursday,) the Israelites come 
to the wilderness of Zin, which lieth between Ely- 
ma and Sinai, where, for want of fiesh, they mur- 
mur- against God and their leaders. About the even- 
it ide God sends them quails, and the next morning 
.rains upon them manna from heaven ; and upon 
!that kind of bread they lived afterward for the 
space of 40 years, even till they came to the bor- 
|ders of the land of Promise. An omer of ft is pre- 
'served for a memorial. 
XVII. 11 At Rephidim, which was the eleventh place of 
■their encamping, the people murmur for want of 
■vvater : Moses gives them water, by striking the 
jhard rock in Horeb with his rod. 
V. The Amalekites, falling upon the rear of the Is- 
raelites, are discomfited by Joshua, whilst Moses 
holds up his hands to God in prayer. 

God publisheth his law, contained in the Ten 
iCommandments, with a terrible voice from mount 
Sinai. 

The people being in great fear, God gives them 
jsundry other laws, all which being written in the 
XXII, Isfc. book of the covenant, Moses proposeth them to the 
XXIV. Ipeople ; which done, rising early in the morning, 
jhe builds an altar at the foot of the mountain, and 
sets up twelve statues, according to the twelve tribes 
lof Israel, and sends twelve young men of the first- 
'born, (whom the Lord had consecrated to himself 
las ministers of those holy things, before the Leviti- 
Ical priesthood was ordained,) who ofi«r sacrifice, 
[first for sin, and then for thanksgiving, to the Lord: 
and when Moses had read the book of the covenant, 
he takes the blood of the calves and goats so offer- 
ed, and with water, scarlet wool, and hyssop, sprin- 
kles the book therewith, and all the people, or those 
twelve statues representing them ; and so performs 
a solemn covenant between God and his people. 

M.^ses L\nd Af.ron, Nadab and Abihu, and 70 men 
of the elders of Isr^iel, go up into the mount, and 
there behold the glory of God : the rest returning, 
Moses, with his servant Joshua, abides there still, 
and waits six days, and upon the seventh day God 
speaks unto him, and there he continues 40 days and 
40 nights, (reckoning those six days which he wait- 
ed f^r the -.ppearance of the Lord,) eating no meat 
all th It while, nor drinking water, ( Deut. ix. 9.) 
where he receives God's command touching thej 
frame of the tai^ernacle, the priests' garments, their 
consecration, sacrifices, and other things comprised 
in thi» and the six lollowing chapters.

down from the mount, and, seeing the people keep- 
ing a festival in honour of their idol in the camp, 
he breaks the tables of the law at the foot of the 
mount ; for which the Jews keep a solemn fast unto 
this day. 

Moses, having burnt and defaced the idol, puts 
3000 of the idolaters to death by the hands of the 
Levites. 

God commands Moses to frame new tables of 
stone, and to bring them with him into the mount ; 
Moses brings them the next morning ; and, while 
he stands in the cleft of a rock, God passeth by, and 
sheweth him a glimpse of his glory. 

God renews his covenant with his people, and; 
upon certain conditions, gives them his laws again. 

In the first six months of this year the tabernacle, 
the ark of the covenant, the altar, the table of shew - 
bread, the priests' garments, the holy ointments, 
the candlestick, and other utensils and vessels be- 
longing to the sacrifices, are finished in the desert 
at mount Sinai, and are brought unto Moses. 

The tabernacle is set up, and anointed with holy- 
oil ; Aaron and his sons are consecrated for the 
priesthood. 

Nadab and Abihu, for offering strange fire, are 
struck dead in the place by firefi'om heaven. 

The princes of the tribes present their offerings 
toward the dedication of the tabernacle. Gol 
speaketh to Moses from the mercy -seat. 

The second passover is instituted. 

Jetliro, who is also called Hobab, brings his daugh- 
ter Zipporah, with her two sons, Gershom and Eli- 
ezer, which were left with him, to his son-in-law- 
Moses ; and having congratulated his and the whole 
people of Israel's deliverance out of bondage, he 
openly declares his faith and devotion toward the 
true God. By his advice Moses imparts the govern- 
ment of the people to some others, and ordains ma- 
gistrates for the deciding of lesser causes. 

Moses complains to God of the over great bur- 
den of his government ; God, to ease him of his 
charge, gives him for assistance the court of se- 
venty elders. 

The people lust for flesh : God gives them quails 
in wrath : and sends w-ithal a most grievous plague 
among them. 

God rebukes the sedition of Miriam and Aaron^ 
and maintaineth Moses's right. 

From the wilderness of Paran, near Kadesh-bar- 
nea, twelve men are sent (among whom are Caleb 
land Joshua) to discover the land of Canaan. Re- 
turning, they- bring with them a branch of a vine, 
[with a cluster of grapes upon it ; ten of the twelve 
ISO sent speak ill of the country, declare it barren, 
and magnify the cities for their strength, and the 
giantly stature of the inhabitants. 

The people, terrified with this relation, are about 
to i-eturn into Egypt, from which Caleb and Joshua 
endeavouring to dissuade them, are like to be stoned. 
11 At this God is so provoked that he threateneth to 
Idestroy them ; but is prevailed upon by Moses's 
iprayers to spare them. Nevertheless he denounc- 
leth that all who are now twenty years old and up- 
36 ward (except Caleb and Joshua) shall die in the 
40 w'ildcrness. The men who raised tlie evil report 
iare all destroyed by sudden death. Some endea- 
vouring to enter upon the promised land, contrary 
to the command of God, are smitten by the Amale- 
kites and Canaanites.

At the end of 40 days God gives Moses the two 
tables of the law in stone, made by God's own hand, 
and written with his own finger ; bidding him withal 
quickly tc get him down, for that the people had 
already made to themselves a molten calf to wor-

The people again, for want of water, murmur 
against Moses and Aaron, whom when God had 
commanded to call water out of the rock only by 

11 speaking to it, Moses, being moved in his mind 
through impatience and diffidence of the thing, 
speaks something, wliatever it was, unadvisedly 
with his lips, and strikes the rock twice with Aa 
ron's rod, and thereby draws water from it; but for 

12 transgressing God's command, they are botli de

iNumb.XXI About the latter end of this year, all those who at 
Kadesh-barnea mutinied against God, being wholly 
extinct and dead, the Israelites pass over Zared, 
and come to the border.s of Moab at Ar, and at 
Icngtli they arrive at Bamotli, a valley in tlic coun- 
try of the Moabites, and pitch at mount Pisgah. 
21 Sihon king of the Amorites, refusing them pas-

wrath of (iod, and the plague ceasetli. (iod there- 
fore scttleth the high priesthood for ever upon the 
house of Phinehas, and commands that war be made 
upon the Midianites. 

Moses and Eleazar, by God's command, in the 
plain of Moab, near unto Jordan, over against Jeri- 
I'ho, number the jieople from twenty years old and 
upward, and find them to be 601 ,"30 men, besides 
the Levites, whose number, reckoning them from 
one month old and upward, comes to 23,000; and 
then Moses receives command for the parting oj" 
the land of promise among the Israelites. 

The (daughters of Zelophehad have their father's 
land parted among them for want of issue male , 
this occasions the law for succession in heritages to 
be made. 

God signifies to Moses that he shall die; am'. 
Joshua is tliereupon declared to be his successe. . 
upon whom Moses lays hisliands, and gives liim h, ■ 
structions. Several laws are made. 

Twelve thoustmd of tlie Israelites, under the cojn- 
mand of Phinehas, vanquish the Miilianites, and 
put to tl\e sword all the males among them, witl 
their five princes, and among them Zur, the fathei 
of Cozbi, and Balaam the wizard ; but they save tin: 
women alive; at which Moses is wroth, and com- 
mands that every male child, and all the women, 
except such as were virgins, be killed. 

The lands which belonged to Sihon and Og, name- 
ly, all from the river Arnon to mount Hernion, M' - 
ses divides, and gives to tlie tribes of Reuben ami 
Gad, and the half-tribe of Manasseh ; so that their 
possessions lay on this side Jordan; neverthele>s. 
they assist the rest of the tribes in all their wars, 
till they have subdued the Canaanitcs, and pos 
sessed the promised land. 

Moses commands the people, that, in their pas- 
sage over Jordan, tliey shall set up great .stop'.s, and 
engrave the ten commandments on them, with the 
form of blessing upon mount (ierizim, and of curb- 
ing on mount Ebal ; exhorting them to observe the 
law of (iod, by setting before their eyes the bene- 
fits that would ensue thereon. 

He also renews the covenant made by God with 
them and their children on mount Horeb, and again 
persuades them to keep that covenant, by all tht 
ijlessings and curses which would undoubted]) fol- 
low the keepers or breakers of it : yet w ith a pro- 
mise of ])ardon and deliverance, if at any time, hav- 
ing broken it, they shall repent them of their sin ; 
and tells them further, that God had therefore thus 
declared his will unto them, to the end that none 
hereafter offending shall pretend ignorance. 

Moses, having written this law, dcliveis it to the 
priests, the sons of Levi, and tlie elders of the jico- 
ple, to be kept ; the same day also he writes his 
most excellent song, and teaches the same.to the 
children of Israel to be sung ; and, having finished 
the book of the law, he takes order to have it laid 
rp in the side of the ark. 

Moses, now drawing near to his cikI, hlesseth eve 
ry tribe in particiilar, by way of prophecy, save on- 
ly the tribe of Simeon. 

In the twelfth month of this year, he goes up to 
mount Nebo, and from thence beholds tlie land of 
promise, and there dieth, aged 120 years; the body

lied, into a valley of the land of Moab, over against 
Reth-peor, and there burieth it; nor dotli any man

God, sends forth spies from Shittim to the city of 
Jericho, who, being harboured by Rahab, are pri- 
vily sent away when searcii is made for them. 

Upon the tenth day of the first month, {.-Ipril 
30.) to wit, the same day that the paschal lamb was 
to be cliosen cut of the flock, the Israelites, under 
tlie conduct of Joshua, a type of Jesus Christ, go up 
out of the river Jordan into the promised land of Ca- 
naan, a type of a more heavenly country. They 
pass through the river on dry ground, the waters be- 
ing for that present divided ; for a memorial of which 
miraculous passage Joshua sets up twelve stones in 
the very channel of Jordan, and taking twelve other 
stones out of the midst thereof, sets them up at Gil- 
gal, the place where they next encamp. 

The day following Joshua renews the use, of cir- 
cumcision, which had been omitted 40 years. 

Upon the fourteenth day of the same month, in 
the evening, the Israelites celebrate their first pass- 
over in the land of Canaan. 

Next day after the passcver, manna ceaseth. 

Our Lord Jesus, Captain of his Father's IlGSt; ap- 
pears to Joshua the typical Jesus, before Jericho, 
with a drawn sword in his hand, and promise th 
H':ere ta defend his people. 

Jericho, the ark of the Lord having been carried 
round about it, is taken the seventh day, the walls 
thereof falling down at the sound of the priests' 
trumpets ; all the inhabitants are put to the sword 
except Rahab and her family. 

The Israelites besiege Ai, and are smitten by their 
enemies, God having abandoned them for sacrilege 
committed by Achan. Achan's sin being discovered 
by the casting of lots, and himself found guilty, he is 
stoned to death, and, together with his children and 
cattle, burnt with fire. God being pacified hereby, 
Ai is taken by ambushment, and utterly destroyed. 

On mount Ebal, according to the law made, is an 
altar erected, and the ten commandments engraven 
on it ; the blessings and cursings are repeated on 
mount Ebal and mount Gerizim, and the book of 
the law read in the ears of the people. 

The kings of Canaan combine against Israel ; 
only the Gibeonices craftily find a way to save their 
own lives, by making a league with them; but are 
afterwards deputed to the servile offices of the house 
of God. 

Adoni-zedek king of Jerusalem, with the kings of 
Hebron, Jarmuth, Lachish, and Eglon, hearing that 
Gibeon is fallen off from them, join their forces to- 
gether, and besiege it ; but Joshua raiseth the siege, 
pursueth those five kings, and sraiteth them as far 
as Azekah, the Lord in the meanwhile killing more 
with hail-stones from heaven, than the Israelites 
with their swoi-ds. Joshua commands the sun to 
stand still over Gibeon, and the moon over the val- 
ley of Ajalon, by the space almost of one whole day, 
until the Israelites are fully avenged of their ene- 
mies. The five kings hide themselves in a cave at 
Makkedah, from whence they are brought forth, 
scornfully used, and hanged. 

From the autumn of this year, wherein, after the 
failing of manna, they l)egan to till the ground, the 
rise of the Sabbatical years is to be taken. 

Joshua, now grown old, is commanded by God to 
divide all the land on the west of Jordan among the 
nine tribes remaining, and the other half-tribe of 
Manasseii. 'I'he Lord and his saci-ifices are the in-

The rest of tiie kings, with whom Joshua had

Joshua now roots out those giants the Anakims,

. The first Sabbatical year, or year of rest : -.': cm 
hence the year of jubilee, or every 50 years' fntcc, 
is to be reckoned. 

The tabernacle is setup at Shiloh, (thought to be 
Salem,) Vifhere it continued 328 years. 

The Reubenites, Gadites, and the half-tribe~ of 
Manasseh, with a blessing, are sent home to their 
possessions on the other side of Jordan. 

Joshua gathers together all Israel, exhorts them 
to obedience, briefly recites God's benefits to them, 
renevveth the covenant between them and God, and 
dieth 110 years old. 

After the decease of Joshua, and the elders who 
outlived him, and who remembered the wonders 
iwhich God had wrought for Israel, there succeeds 
III. 6, r. a generation of men which forget God, and mingle 
tliemselves with the Canaanites by marriage, and 
worship their idols. In this time of anarchy and 
confusion, when every man did that which seemed 
right in his own eyes, all those disorders wei-e com- 
mitted which are reported in the five last chapters 
of the Book of Judges ; to wit, the idolatry of Micah 
nd the children of Dan ; the war of the Benjamites, 
S'and the cause thereof God being highly provoked, 
gives them up into the hands cf Chushan king of 
Mesopotamia; which first calamity of theirs holds 
them but eight years. 

Othniel the son of Kenaz, and son-in-law to Ca- 
leb, stirred up by God as a judge and avenger of 
1 his people, defeats Chushan, and delivers the Israel- 
ites out of bondage ; and the land rested 40 years, 
after the first rest which Joshua procured for them, 

Othniel dying, the Israelites fall again to sin 
against God, and are given over into the hands of 
Eglon king of Moab, who, joining with the Ammon- 
ites and the Amalekites, overthrows the Israel- 
ites, and takes Jericho ; and this second oppression 
continueth 18 years. 

Ehud, the son of Gera, is raised up by God to be 
an avenger of his people ; for, feigning a message 
to Eglon, he runs him into the belly with his dagger ; 
then, getting away, he gathers all Israel into a body 
on mount Ephraim, and slays 10,000 of the most 
valiant men of Moab ; and the land resteth forty 
years, after the former rest obtained by Othniel. 

After him Shamgar the son of Anath slayeth 600 
Philistines with an ox-goad, and he also avengeth 
Israel. 

The Israelites, after the death of Ehud, returning 
to their old sin, are given up by God into the hands 
of Jabin king of Canaan ; and this thraldom of 
theirs continueth 20 years. 

Deborah, the wife of Lapidoth, a prophetess, 
who at this time judgeth Israel in mount Ephraim, 
and Barak of the tribe of Naphtali being made cap- 
tain of the host of Israel, in sight of Megiddo, over- 
come Sisera captain of Jabin 's army, whom Jacl the 
wife of Heber the Kenite afterwards kills in her 
own tent. For a memorial of which victory Debo- 
rah composeth a song ; and the land resteth forty 
years, after the former rest obtained by Ehud. 

The Israelites sinning again, are delivered into 
the hands of the Midianites ; which fourth thraldom 
lasteth seven years. Hereupon they cry unto God 
for help, and are reproved by a prophet. Then 
Gideon the son of Joash, of Manasseh, is by an an- 
gel from God sent to deliver them. He first over- 
turns the altar of Baal, and burns his grove, ajid is 
called Jerubbaal. He, out of 32,000 men which 
came unto him, chooseth only (God so commanding) 
300; but with them he puts to flight all the host cf 
the Midianites, whom the Ephraimites afterwards 
pursue, and slay their princes, Oreb and Zeeb. 
Gideon, having pacified the Ephraimites, who com- 
plain that they were not called to the battle at first, 
passeth the river Jordan, and defeats the remainder 
of the Midianitish army ; he chastiseth also the men 
of Succoth and Penuel, who had refu.sed him vic- 
tuals in his journey ; and slays the tv.o kings of the 
Midianites, Zebah and Zalmunna, After which

1 , 2, tS'f. concubine) pui-posing to get to himself the kingdom 

which his father had refused, slayeth seventy of his m;

'expostulates with them the wrong they had done to 
jhis father's house ; and, by way of a parable, fore 
tels their ruin; which done, he flees, and dwells 
quietly in Beer. 
22 Abimelech having reigned thr.ee yearscvcr Israel, 
Gaal a Shcchcmite conspires against him, which 
jbeing disco\ ered to him by Zebul, he utterly de- 
Istroyeth the city of Shecheni, and puts all the inhab- 
itants to the sword, and burns the temple of their 
god Berith with fire : from thence he goeth and lay- me 
eth siege to Tliebez, where he is knocked on tlie 
5.Vhead with a piece of a mill-stone cast upon him by a 
woman from the walls, and tlien killed outright by 
ihis armour-bearer. 
X. Tola the son of Puah, after Abimelech, judgeth 

1, 2 Israel twenty -three years.

rael twenty-two years. 
8i The Israelites' forsaking again the true God, fall 
jto worship the gods of several nations, and are 
'given up into the hands of the Philistines and Am- 
Imonites; which fifth thraldom lasteth 18 years. 
15 Upon their repentance, and abandoning their idols, 
'at length they obtain mercy. 

I Jei)hthah the Gileadite, being made captain of 
[the host of Israel, subdues the Ammonites; before 
Ithe battle he vows his daughter, unawares, to be of 
tfered in sacrifice, and afterwards performs it. He 
. e'puts to the sword 42,000 Ephraimites, who had be- 
haved themselves insolently against him, and judg-

8 Ibzan the Bethlchemite succeeds Jephthah, and 

judgeth Israel seven years. 
11 Elon the Zebulonitc succeeds Ibzan, and judgeth 

Israel ten years. 
13 Abdon the Ephraimite succeeds Elon, and judg 
eth Israel eight years. 

Eli the high priest (in whom the high priesthood 
was translated from the family of Eleazar to Itha 
mar's) succeeds Al)don, and judgeth Israel forty 
years. The Israelites again provoke the Lord to 
anger, and he delivers them into the hands of the 
Philistines. This sixth thraldom begins seven 
months after Eli's entering upon the government, 
and lasteth forty years, even till seven months after 
his death, wheii the ark was brought back again.

is born at Zorah.

corn-fields of the Philistines, and into their vine- 
yards and olive-gardens, and sets them all on fire. 
The Philistines take Samson's wife and father-in- 
law, and burn tl»em ; Samson in revenge slays a 
great multitude of them, am', sits down upon thr 
rock Etam, from whence being taken by 3000 of 
the tribe of Judah, and by them delivered into the 
hands of the Philistines, he slays of them a thousand 
n\eu with the jaw-bone of an ass; in which place 
he is miraculously refreshed when thirsty and read . 
to faint. 

Samson is betrayed by Delilah his concubine, hr 

Ireaved of the hair of his Nazariteship, and delixer- 
ed io the Philistines ; who put out his eyes, and bind 
him with chains of brass. The Philistines gathi r 
together to offer sacrifice to Dagon their god, and 
Samson is brought to make them sport ; whose hair 
being grown, and his strength in a great measure 
restcrcd, he takes hold of the two chief jiillars 
whereon the house stood, (wherein were the princes 
of the Philistines, and a great multitude of peoj)le.) 
ATiCt pulls down the house, killing more men at 
his (Icath than he did in all his lifetime. So he 
died, having judged Israel in the days of tije Philis- 
tines twenty years. 

The Israelites take up arms against the Philis- 
tines, but with very ill success, for they lose 4000 
men in one battle. Then they send for the ark of 
the covenant from Shiloh. itnil cause it tol)c!)ronght 
into the camp. The Philistines, seeing now all lie 
at stake, encourage one another to bi-ha\e tliem- 
selves like men that day, and so falling on, they 
slay of the Israelites, 30,000 men. The ark of God 
is taken, and Hophni and Phinehas, priests, and 
sons of Eli, are slain. Of all which, when tidings 
are brought to old Eli, frightened thereat, he falls 
from his seat, and breaks his neck in the 98th year 
of his age. 

The Philistines, having brought the ark into 

\shdod, set it in the house of Dagon their god 

But when Dagon had been found two se\eral times 
fallen grovelling before it, and l)roken in pieces, 
and the inhabitants of the place sorely j^lagued, 
they remove it from thence to Gath, and from 
thence to Ekron. But the same plagues and judg- 
ments following wherever it went, after seven 
months, by the advice of their priests, they send 
home tlie ark again with presents and gifts into the 
land of the Israelites, and it is brought to Bethslu- 
nicsh ; where 50,070 men are smitten for looking 
into the ark. From hence it is carried to the house 
of Abinadab in Kirjath-jearim, who sanctifieth his 
son Eleazar to keep it. 

After twenty years the Israelites, by Samuel's 
persuasion, solemnly repent at Mizpeh, and, upon 
their conversion, God, by thunder from heaven, de- 
livers them from the invasion of the Philistines, who 
ire subdued, the hand of tlie Lord being against 
them all the days of Samuel. 

Samuel, being grown old, takes for his assistants 
in the government his sons; by whose ill manage- 
ment of affairs the Israelites require a king to be 
given them ; whereupon God gives them a king in 
his wrath, to wit, Saul the son of Ki.sh, after Samuel 
had judged lsr..el twenty-one years. Saul is pri- 
vately anointed by Samuel, and afterward publickly 
proclaimed king at Mizpeh. Abcut a month after 
Jabesh-giie: d is besieged by Nahash king of the Am- 
iionites, and the siege raised by Saul, whereupon 
the whole congregation of Israel, coming together 
at Gilgal, again proclaim Saul king. 

David the son of Jesse the Ephrathitc, born at 
Bethleliem-iudah, 30 years before he succeeded 
Saul in the kingdom. lie was his father's youngest 
son. 

Gofl rejects Saul, and sends Samuel to Bethle- 
hem, there to anoint David king, whom Saul ever 
ifter extremely persccuteth.

David, having Saul twice in his power, forbears 
to hurt him. 

David, fearing he may some time or other fall in- 
to the hands of Saul, flees to Gath unto king Achish, 
carrying with him 600 men ; and, having obtained 
of him the town of Ziklag to dwell in, he continueth 
ORe year and four months in the land of the Philis- 
tines, from whence he invadeth the countries of the 
Geshurites, Gezrites, and Amalekites, and puts to 
the sword all, both men and women, not leaving one 
alive to carry the news thereof to king Achish. 

Achish, proposing to make war upon the Israel- 
ites, takes David along with him in that expedition, 
to whom, while he is upon his march with his 600 
men, repair a great many others of the tribe of 
Manasseh, and join with him. 

Saul, seeing the army of the Philistines, is in 
great fear, and (Samuel being now dead) goes to 
Endor, to consult with a v. itch there: the woman 
raiseth an apparition of Samuel, and Saul receives 
from it that dreadful doom, The Lord will deliver 
Israel, together witli thyself, into the hands of the 
Philistines. 

The princes of the Philistines growing jealous of 
David, he and his company, early the next morn 
ing, leave the army, and return to Ziklag. 

The armies join battle, and the Israelites are de 
feated ; the three sons of Saul are slain, and he him- 
self falls on his own sword. 

Three days after an Amalekite brings Saul's 
crown, and the bracelet that was upon his arm, 
and presents them to David, professing that, find- 
ing him fallen upon his sword, he had killed him 
outright, and taken the crown from off his head ; 
whereupon David causeth him to be put to death 
for stretching forth his hand to slay the Lord's 
anointed, and lamenteth the death of Saul and Jon- 
athan his son, in a funeral song. David, having 
asked counsel of God, goes up to Hebron with those 
that are about him, where he is anointed king by 
the men of Judah, his own tribe, in the thirtieth 
year of his age, and there he reigns seven years 
and six months. 

Abncr, who was captain of the host to Saul, car- 
ries Ish-bosheth, Saul's son, to Mahanaim, and 
there makes him king over the rest of Israel. 

After two years there arise frequent and mortal 
skirmJslies between a party of men on David's side, 
headed by Joab, David's nephew, and another party 
on Ish-bosheth's side, whereof Abner is chief ; but 
the former still grows stronger and stronger. 

Abner, affronted by Ish-bosheth, revolteth to Da- 
vid, and deals with the chief men of Israel to trans- 
fer the whole kingdom unto him, and this in the 
hearing of the Benjamites. 

He comes to David and is kindly received ; re- 
turning, he is treacherously murdered by Joab 

David m.uch laments his untimely death, and buries 
him at Hebron. 

Baanah and Rechab murder their lord and mas- 
ter Ish-bcshet'n, as he lieth resting himself upon his 
bed. They bring his head to David, who in detes- 
tation of their treason, causeth them immediately 
to be put to death. 

The captains and elders of all the tribes, coming 
to Hebron, anoint David a third time, and make 
him king over all Israel. 

David with all Israel marcheth to Jerusalem 
against the Jebusites, and taketh the fort of Zion, 
and calls it The city of David ; and making Jeru- 
salem the seat of his kingdom, reigneth there over 
all Israel thirty -three years. 

The ark of the covenant, which in the first Sab 
batical year was brought from Gilgal to Shiloh, is 
this year, being also a Sabbatical year, brought from 
Kirjath-jearim, out of the house of Abinadab, and 
placed at Zion ; 30,000 choice men of Israel attend 
ing it, and singing the 68th psalm.

1 Chron. jimparteth to Nathan the prophet, his purpose of 

XVII. jbuilding an house for God ; but is answered from 
XXII. God, that this was a work which should be done,. 

not by him, because he was a man of blood, and 

2Sam.VIII.!trained up in war, but by his son Solomon, a man 

1 Chron. of peace, which should be born unt^him. The time 

XVIII. which passeth from hence till the birth of Solomon 
Gen.XV.18 is spent in wars; wherein David subdues the Phi- 
Deut.XI.24listines, Edomites, Amalekites, Moabites, Ammon- 

1 Kings IV. ites and Syrians, and extends his kingdom to the 

utmost bound of that land which had been promised 
to the seed of Abraham, and never possessed by 
any of them, save only by David, and his son Solo- 
mon. 

2 Sam. XI. At the end of this year, Joab, going with the ar- 
1 Chron. my against the Ammonites, besiegeth Rabbah, the 

XX. jmetrcpolis of Ammon, whilst David takes his ease 
lat Jerusalem, and there commits adultery with Bath- 
isheba the wife of Uriah the Hittite, who was then 
)in the army, whom he also procures to be slain. 
2 Sam. XII.; The child so gotten in adultery is born. David 
is convicted by Nathan the prophet of his sin, and 
Ihe repents; in testimony whereof he composeth the 
51st psalm. Tlie child dieth. 

Bath-sheba becomes now David's wife, and bear- 
eth him a sor., unto whom, as unto one who should 
prove a man of peace, God gives the name of Solo- 
mon ; and, as to one beloved of the Lord, the name 
of Jedidiah. 

Amnon, David's eldest son, defloureth his sister 
Tamar. 

Absalom avengeth his sister Tamar, and kilieth 
his brother Amnon ; for which thing he fleeth to 
Geshur in Syria, where he continues three yeare 
with king Talmai, his grandfather by the mother's 
side. 

After three years' exile he returns to Jerusalem , 
whei"e he continues two years, before the king his 
father admits him into his presence, and is recon- 
ciled to him. 

This rebel son, having got chariots and horses', 
and a guard to attend him, insinuates himself into 
the favour of the people, and steals away their hearts 
from his father David. 

The next year following, under pretence of a vow, 
he obtaineth leave to go to Hebron, where by Ahi- 
thophel's counsel, he breaks out into open rebellion, 
and forceth his father to flee from Jerusalem. 

XVII. Ahithophel, because his counsel in all matters is 
not followed by Absalom, hangs himself. 

XVIII. Absalom, having lost 20,000 men, fleeth, and a 
jbough of an oak catching hold of him, he there 
hangs, and is run through by Joab. 
I David, tempted by Satan, commandeth Joab to 
(number the people ; God, offended thereat, sends 
ja prophet to put three plagues to his choice, viz. 
ithe famine, sword, or pestilence. David chooseth 
'to fall into the hands of a merciful God rather than 
into the hands of men. So God sends a pestilence ; 
'whereof 70,000 men die in one day. The angel be- 
jing about to destroy Jerusalem, God bids him hold 
his hand ; for he beholds David repenting in sack- 
cloth, and entreating him to spare the innocent peo- 
ple, and to turn his hand upon himself, and upon his 
father's house. 

Rehoboam is born unto Solomon by Naamah ao- 
21 Ammonitish woman. 

David being now 70 years of age, and broken 
with continual cares and wars, grows so weak and 
[feeble that clothes can no longer preserve heat in 
him. Therefore Abishag, a young virgin, is ap- 
pointed to keep him warm. Adooijah, seeing his 
father thus declining, by the assistance of Joab and 
Abiathar, makes himself king; which David under- 
standing, he presently commands Zadok the priest, 
and Nathan the prophet, with other great men, to 
anoint Solomon king. Adonijah hearing tliis, be- 
takes himself to the sanctuary, and is pardoned.

SOLOMON layeth the foundation of the temple 
in tiie 4S0th year after the departure of the children 
of Israel out of Egypt. 

Solomon's temple finished in the 11th year of his 
reign, havingbeen seven years and an half in building. 
Solomon this year, (being the ninth jubilee, and 
opening the fourth millenary of tlie world,) with 
great magnificence celebrates the dedication of the 
temple ; at which time God gives a visible sign of 
his favour. 

Solomon having, as it is with reason believed, for- 
saken his lusts and vanities, to which he had i)cen 
too intemperately addicted, and written, as a testi-' 
mony of his repentance, his book called The Preach- ' 
cr, dietli. He reigned 40 years. 

The Israelites assemble at Shechem to crown 
Rehoboam, Solomon's son, king over all Israel. The 
people, by Jeroboam, sue unto him for a removal of 
some grievances; to whom Rehoboam, by the ad- 
vice of young men, returning an harshanswer, alien- 
ates the hearts of ten tribes from him, who make I 
Jeroboam king over them, and fall at the same timej 
from the house of David, and from the true worship' 
of God. 

Jeroboam, in the beginning of his reign, repairs' 
Shechem, destroyed by Abimelech 258 years before, j 
and there dwells; afterwards going over Jordan he' 
builds Penuel, and at length makes Tirzah the seat! 
IT^of his kingdom. But fearing lest his new subjects 
26 by going to Jerusalem to worship, may be induced 
to revolt from him, he deviseth a new form of reli- 
gion, setting up two golden calves, the one at Beth- 
el, the other at Dan, for the seduced people to bow 
down unto. 

From the time of this dismal rent Rehoboam reign- 
eth over Judah and Benjamin 17 years, and Jero 
boam over Israel, or the other ten tribes, 22 years. 

The priests and Levites, and other Israelites who 
feared God, stick to Rehoboam, and maintain the 
kingdom of Judah three years; after which time 
Rehoboam falls to idolatry, and walketh no more in 
the ways of David and Solomon. 

Jeroboam sacrificing to his calf at Beth-el, a pro- 
32'phct is sent unto him from God, who foretels the 
2 judgment which sliould one day be executed upon 
jthat altar, and the priests (viz. those whom Jero- 
boam had made of the lowest of the people) that 
served at it. Which projjhecy then and there is 
jconfirmed by signs and wonders upon the king him- 
self, and upon the altar. 

Shishak king of Egypt spoileth Jerusalem and 
the temple ; but the king and the princes repenting 
at the preaching of Shemaiah the prophet, God 
gives them not over to utter destruction. 

.\bijam, the son of Rehoboam, succeeds his father 
in the kingdom of Judah, and reigns three years. 

He obtains a great victory over Jeroboam, killeth 
500,000 men in one battle, and taketh Btth-el. 

.Asa, in the twentieth year of Jeroboam, succeeds 
his father .\bij-\m, and reigns 41 years. 

Nadab, in the second year of Asa, succeedeth his 
father Jeroboam in the kingdom of Israel, and 
reigneth not full two years. 

Isadab, at the siege of Gibbcthon (a town of the 
Philistines) is slain by Baasha, of the tribe of Issa- 
char, in the third yt-ar of .\sa; and the same year, 
having made hiTSy'f king over Israel, he utterly

destroyeth the whole race of Jeroboam, and reign- 
eth 24 years. At this lime lived the prophets Jcjiu, 
Hanani, and Azarias. 

Asa dcstroyeth idolatrj-, and enjoying ten years 
of peace, strengthens his kingdom with forts and a 
standing army. 

Zeraii the Ethiopian, with an innumerable army, 
nvadetli Judah: Asa overcomes him, sacriticeth to 
God of the spoil, and njaketh a solemn covenant 
with (iod. He also deposeth Maarhuh his grand- 
mother, a great patroness of idolatry ; bringeth in- 
to the temple those things which his father and 
himself had consecrated unto God, and enjoys a 
long peace. 

Elaii, the son of Baasha, succeeds his father in 
the kingdom of Israel. 

In tlie second year of his reign, and the 27th of 
.\sa's, Ziinri, one of his captains, conspires against 
him, kills him, and reigneth in his stead. As soon 
IS he sits on the throne, he dcstroyeth the whole 
Familv of Baasha; but the army which then lay be- 
fore Gibbcthon make Omri their king, who pre- 
sently besiegeth 'Firzah, aiid taketh it ; which Ziniri 
seeing, he sets on fire the king's palace, and perish- 
eth in the flames. 

The people of Israel are now divided into two 
factions ; one follows Tibni the Son of Ginath, and 
endeavours to make him king ; the other adheres to 
Omri ; but Tibni dying, Omri reigns alone, in the 
thirty-first year of Asa. 

Omri, having reigned six years in Tirzah, re- 
moves tlie seat of his kingdom to Samaria, a place 
wiiich he himself had built. 

Ahab succeeds his father in the kingdom of Is- 
rael, and reigneth 22 years in Samaria. He did 
;vil in the sight of the Lord above all that were be- 
fore him. 

Jehoshaphat succeedeth his father Asa, in the 
fourth year of Ahab king of Israel, and reigneth 
25 years in Jerusalem. 

Jehoshajjhat, being settled in his kingdom, and 
having demolished the high places and gro\es, in 
the third year of his reign he sends Levites, with 
the princes, to instruct the people in the law. God 
in the mean time subdueth his enemies under him. 

Ben-hadad king of Syria layeth siege to Samaria, 
who, by the direction of a jirophet, is beaten oflF, 
and a vast number of the Syrians slain. 

Ahal), not being able to persuade Naboth to sell 
lini his vineyard, falls sick upon it ; Jezebel, his 
wife, suborning false witnesses to accuse Naboth of 
blasphemy, causeth him to be stoned, and puts the 
king in possession of the vineyard; where\i])on the 
prophet Elijah denounceth judgments against .\hab 
and Jezebel. \Mckcd Ahab rejjenting, God defers 
the judgment. 

.\hab, in the 17th year of the reign of Jehosha- 
j)hat, maketh his son .\haziah his associate in the 
government of his kingdom. 

Jehoshaphat also maketh Jehoram his son co- 
paitner with him ; "whence it is that Jehoram the 
son of Ahab, who succeeded his brother Ahaziah 
in the kingdom of Israel, in the 18th year of Jeho- 
shaphat king of Judah, is said to have begun his 
reign in the second year of Jehoram the son of Je- 
hoshaphat. 

Ahab having got Jehoshaphat to assist him in the 
siege of Ramoth-gilead, before he goes, he asketh 
counsel of 400 false prophets, who promise him vic- 
torv and success ; but by Jehoshaphat's advice Mi- 
caiah, a true prophet of CJod, is consulted, who fore- 
tels his overthrow ; and, according to his word, 
Ahab is slain at Ramoth-gilead, and buried at Sa- 
maria. 

Ahab being dead, the Moabitcs revolt from Is- 
rael, who had continued in subjection ever since 
king David's days. 

.Ahaziah king of Israel lying ill of a fall, sends to 
consult Baal-zeliub, the god of Ekron, concerning 
his recovery. Eliiah the prophet mceteth the mes-

whereupon two captains ovei* fifty men apiece arej 
sent to apprehend him, and bring him before the 
iking. Elijah calleth for fire from heaven, and de- 
istroyeth both them and their companies. A third 
jcaptain with his fifty men being sent, and behaving 
jhimself svibmissively, Elijah goes along with him ; 
the prophet certifies the king that he shall not come 
17 down from his bed alive. So Ahaziah dieth, hav- 
ing governed (partly by himself, and partly together 
with his father) two years.

lyears. He is no sooner settled in his throne but he 
Iputs all his brethren to the sword, with many of 
Genesis ithe princes of Israel. At this time the Edomites,

XXI. 10, 11 Isaac) they for ever shake off his yoke. Libnah 
also, a citv of the priests, in the tribe of Judah, falls 
off from ]iim about this time. 
688 Jehoram, following the counsel of his wicked wife 

Athaliah, the daughter of Ahab king of Israel, sets 
up in Judah, and even in Jerusalem itself, the idol- 
atrous worship of Baal, and compels his subjects 
thereto ; a letter which was left for him by Elijah 
the prophet, comes to his hands, which reproves 
him, and denounces all those calamities and punish- 
ments which afterwards belel him.

VIII. asjJudah (having hadpartof the governm.ent bestowed 
upon him the year before) in the 12th year of Jeho- 
am king of Israel, and reigneth one year in Jeru- 
salem. 
Sg4.: 28 Jehoram king of Israel, and Ahaziah king of Ju- 

dah, lead their armies to Ramoth-gilead against 
Hazael, who had newly succeeded Ben-hadad in the 
kingdom of Syria ; Jehoram is dangerously wound- 
ed, and retires himself to Jezreel to be cured. In 
IX. the mean time Elisha sendeth a young prophet, with 
instructions to anoint Jehu the son of Jehoshaphat, 
the son of Nimshi, at Ramoth-gilead, king over Is- 
rael, and to 'open to him the will of God for the root- 
ing out of the house of Ahab ; who, being proclaimed 
king by the soldiers, marcheth straight to Jezreel, 
killeth Jehoram in the field of Naboth, and causeth 
Jezebel to be cast out at a window, where she is 
X. ' eaten by dogs. He dispatcheth letters also to Sa- 
maria, and causeth seventy of .'Vhab's children to be 
beheaded. Then taking with him Jehonadab the 
son of Rechab, he comes himself to Samaria, and 
idq^roys the whole family of Ahab, and all the priests 
of Baal. Nevertheless, having put down the wor- 
■-> ship of Baal, he departs not from the worship of Je- 
roboam's gplden calves, but maintains that idolatry 
all the time of his reign, which was 28 years. 
IX. Jehu proceeds farther, and executes the divine 

\engeance upon the idolatrous house of Jxidah ; he 
pursues Ahaziah, who fled towards Megiddo, and 
overtaking him at Gur, causetli him to be killed in 

X. his chariot. Going also to Samaria, he nieeteth 
with forty -two of Ahaziah 's kinsmen, whom he caus- 
eth to be slain.

Ahaziah dead, usurps the kinpjdom, destroying those

ihigh-priest, takes Jehoash, being then an infant, 
^and son to her brother Ahaziah, and hides him in 
Ithe temple, and so saves him from that massacre 
which was made of the rest of the blood-royal.

Jehoiada the high-priest brings out Jehoash, now 
seven years o d, and anoints him king; causet 
iAthaliah to e slain, and restoreth the worship of 
the true God, destroying the house of Baal, and 
commanding ;he idolatrous priest Mattan to be 
killed before his altars. Jehoash now beginning his 
reign in the seventh year of Jehu, reigneth 40 years 
in Jerusalem. 

Jehoash, in the 23d year of bis reign, giveth or- 
7der for the repair of the temple, committing the 
charge thereof to Jehoiada the high-priest. 

Jehoahaz succeedeth his father Jehu in the king- 
dom of Israel, and reigneth seventeen years ; dur.- 
ing all which time Hazael king of Syria oppresseth 
him, and exerciseth all those cruelties upon the Is- 
raelites which Elisha the prophet had foretold. 

Jehoash, the son of Jehoahaz king of Israel, is 
taken into the consortship of that kingdom by his 
father in the 3"th year of Jehoash king of Judah, 
and reigneth 16 yeai's. 

Zechariah, the son of Jehoiada the high-prie.st, 
for reproving the people of Judah who had fallen to 
idolatry after the decease of Jehoiada, is stoned to 
death in the court of the house of t'ne Lord by the 
commandment of king Jehoash, who the next year 
after is murdered by some of his servants, as he lay 
in his bed, and Am«.ziah his son succeedeth him. 

Jehoahaz dieth, and Jehoash his son succeedeth in 
the kingdom of Israel. Not long after his father's 
funeral he visits Elisha the prophet, then lying sick, 
and with many tears asketh counsel of him ; who 
promiseth him victory over the Syrians. A dead 
man is brought to life by being laid in Elisha's grave. 

Jeroboam the second is this year taken into the 
consortship of the kingdom of Israel by his father 
Jehoash, going to war against the Syrians. This is 
gathered from Azariah king of Judah's beginning 
his reign in the 27th year of this Jeroboam. * 

Amaziah king of Judah growing proud, upon a 
victory obtained against the Edon\itesthis 14th year 
of his reign, provoketh Jehoash king of Israel to bat- 
tle. Jehoash overcomes him, and takes him pri- 
soner, breaks down 400 cubits of the wall of Jeru- 
salem ; and, having spoiled the temple and the 
king's house of a vast treasure, returns to Samaria. 

Jehoash dies fifteen years before Amaziah ; and 
Xr\^. 23 Jeroboam the second, his son, reigneth in Samariji 
|41 years. 

Amaziah, finding a consjnracy against him at Je- 
rusalem, flies to Lachish, where he is murdered. 

After whom comes his son Uzziah, or Azariah, 
in the 27th year of Jeroboam the second, and reign- 
eth 52 years in Jerusalem. 

Now is held the thirteenth jubilee under the two 
most flourishing kings ; in whose times live sundry 
great prophets in both kingdoms; Isaiah and Joel 
jin Judah ; Jonas, Hosea, and Amos, in Israel. 

Jonas of Gath-hepher, a town belonging to the 
Isaiah IX. 1. tribe of Zebulon in Galilee of the Gentiles, (observe 
Jonah III. here the blindness of the Pharisees, John vii. 52.) 
Mat. XII. was afterwards sent into Nineveh, the metropolis 
41jOf Assyria, where both king and people, at his 
preaching, repented. 
2 Kings i Jeroboam king of Israel (under whom that king- 
XI\'. 29 dom came to its full height of glory) dieth ; after 
ihis death all things fall into confusion, and the state 
is reduced to a plain anarchy, which lasteth eleven 
years and an half, for such an interregnum or va- 
cancy the s) nchronism of kings requires, that the 
si.x months of Zachariah the son of Jeroboam may 
answer the thirty-eight years and one month of 
Shallum, who murdered liim in the thirty-ninth 
year of Azariah, or Uzziah, king of Judah. 

Zachariah, the son of Jeroboam, tlie fourth and 
last of the race of Jehu, (as was foretold,) begins 
his reign over Israel in tlie 38th year of Azariah, 
or Uzziah, king of Judah, and reigneth six months.

with child. 

While MenaJicm, in these broils, labours to get 
tiie possession of the kingdom, Pul king of Assyria 
invadfth his country, to wliom Menahcm givctli 
1000 tiiknts of silver, and afterwards reignelh qui- 
etly ten years. 

Fekahiah succeedeth his father Mcnahem in the 
.50th year of Uzziah king of Judah, and r*;igneth 
two years. 

Pekah, one of his captains, kills him in !»is own 
pah.ce at Samaria, and reigueth 20 years. 

Jotham succeedeth his father Uzziah in tlie king- 
dom of Judah at the age of 25 years, and reigneth 
16 years in Jerusalem. 

Jotham subdues the Ammonites, and makes them 
tributary for three years. Under him and his two 
successors, the proj)hets Micah and Hosea execute 
tlicir proj;hetical office, .\bout this time lived the 
prophet Natium, and prophesied the destruction of 
Nineveh. 

Ahaz succeedeth his father Jotham in the 17th 
year of Pekah king of Israel, and reignetli 16 years. 

This year Rezin king of S\ ria, and Pekah king 
of Israel, arc confederate against Judah, whichj 
.strikes a great terror into that nation ; but unto 
Ahnz, God, by the projjhet Isaiah, sends a gracious 
message, with a promise of deliverance ; for a sigii 
whereof (when the incredulous king, being bid to 
ask a sign, refused to do it) (jod gives him the pro- 
mise of Inmianuel to be born of a virgin. Rezin 
and Pckah n"W lay siege to Jerusalem, and therein 
to ,\haz, but arc beaten otT. Ahaz is no sooner de- 
livered from his enemies, but he forsakes God his 
deliverer, and falls to idolatry. Wherefore God 
gives him over into the hands of the king of Israel, 
who slays of the men of Judah 120,000 in one day, 
with a great many of the nobility, and carrieth 
way 200,000 captives; but these by the advice of 
the prophet Oded are released and sent home. 

Hoshea the son of Elah nuirders Pekah king of Is- 
rael, and gets the kingdom into his own hands : it is 
said in the 20th year of Jotham, that is, from tlie time 
that Jotham first began to reign, which is the same 
with the 4th of Ahaz his son. Ho.shea, by reason 
of tlie tumults and disorders which ensued, cannot 
be said to have reigned till nine years after, the 
state continuing all tiiat time in great confusion, 
without any forn» of government. 

Shalmaneser king of Assyria comes up against 
Hoshea, and makes liim to serve him, and pay him 
iriliute. 

Hezekiah succeedethhisfather Ahaz in the king-

taketh it, and carrieth away the Israelites captive 
into his own country. This was the end of the king-

Sennacherib king of Assyria, coming up against 
Judah, besicgeth their fenced cities, and lakcth many

lived Jeremiah and Zephaniah the prophets, and 
Huldah the prophetess. 

In the twelfth year of his reign he begins a refor- 
mation in Judah and Jerusalem, and carries it on 
successfully. 

This year he giveth order for the repair of the 
temple. Hilkiali the high-priest, having found a 
book of the law, sends it to the king, who hears it 
14 read all over to him, and thereupon asketh counsel 
of Huldah the prophetess, who prophesieth the de- 
struction of Jerusalem, but not in his days. Josiab 
calling to him the elders of Judah and Jerusalem, 
with the priests and prophets, causeth the book of 
the law to be read over before all the people, and 
reneweth the covenant between God and his peo- 
ple ; he burnetii also dead men's bones upon the al- 
tar at Bethel, as was foretold ; and keepetli a most 
solemn passover. 

.\t this time a war breaks out between the king 
29of Egyjjt and the king of .\ssyria. Josiah unadvi- 
Zech. XII. sedly engageth in this war against Necho king of 
11 Egypt, and is slain in the valley of Megiddo. The

nation, not only the jieople then lix ing bewailed his 
death, but even in after time a public mourning for 
him was kept. Tlie projjhet Jeremiah also, in re- 
membrance thereof, compcseth his Lamentations, 
wherein bewailing the calamities which were short- 
ly to befal that peoj)le as present ^-fore his eyes, 
in a most compassionate manner he points as it 
were with his finger at the death of Josiah, as the 
source and original of all those ensuing miseries. 

,\fter the death of Josiah, the peojile anoint Shal- 
luin, one of his younger sons, to be their king. After 
three months' reign he is deposed by Pharaoh-ne- 
cho, who makes Kli.tkim, his elder brother, king 
over Judah and Jems, ilem, and changes his name 
into Jehoiakim ; but Jehoahaz he carries along with 
iiim captive into Egypt, where he ends his days. 

Jehoiakim at 25 years of age begins to reign, and 
he reigneth 1 1 years. 

Urijah and Jeremiah prophesy against Jerusalem ; 
the former is put to death, the latter is acquitted,

Daniel II. This year (being the second of Nebuchadnezzar's 
reign, taking it as it began at his father's death) 
Daniel hath Nebuchadnezzar's dream revealed to 
lim, and interprets it to betoken the four chief mo- 
narchies; whereupon he and his companions are 
lighly advanced. 
2 Kings Nebuchadnezzar sends an army, consisting of 
XXIV. 2 Chaldeans, Syrians, Moabites, and Ammonites, 
p gainst Jehoiakim : these waste the whole country 
of Judea, and carry away from thence 3023 cap- 
tives. Jehoiakim also is taken prisoner ; whom they 
599 \ Jer. XXII. put to death, cause his carcase to be drawn out at 
18 the gate of Jerusalem, (as was foretold by the pro- 
XXXVI. SOiphet Jeremiah), and leave it without the walls un-

iand reigns three months in Jerusalem.

CHR. j 2 Kings the Jews, those long-deserved calamities which God 
588, XXV. had so often forewarned them of by his prophets; 
Jer. I. 3 for in the latter end of the 11th year of Zedekiah, 
XXXIX. Jerusalem, after a long siege, is taken by Kebuchad- 
LII. nezzar, and his Chaldeans enter it. Zedekiah flees 
away by night; but being pursued, is taken, and 
brought prisoner to Riblah, Nebuchadnezzar's 
head quarters ; there, having first seen his children, 
slaughtered before his eyes, he has after v^- a rds those 
eves put out ; and, being loaden with chai;is, is car- 
ried away captive to Babylon. About- a month af- 
ter the taking of the city, Nebuzar-adan captain of 
the guard, sent by Nebiichadnezzar, makes his en- 
|try into it. sets fire to the temple, the king's palace, 
land some noblemen's houses, and so layeth the whole 
city in ashes ; the walls of Jerusalem being razed to 
the ground, all that were leit in the city, and those 
jthat a little before had fallen to the Chaldeans, with 
2 Kings iwhat treasure he can find, doth Nebuzar-adan car- 
XXV. 21!ry with him into Babylon. 

26 And thus was Judah carried out of her own land, 

,468 years after David began to reign over it, 388 

years after the falling off of the ten tribes, and 134 

lyears after the destruction of the kingdom of Israel.

29, 33 over Egypt, and his conquest of Judea and other 
Icountries, and boasting the magnificence of his 
[buildings, falls distracted, and is di'iven from the 
Isociety of men. 
34| After seven years spent among the beasts of the 
field, his understanding returning to him, he hum- 
bly acknowledgeth the power of God, and hi:- good- 
ness towards him ; and is restored to his kingdom. 
A few days after he dies, having reigned about 
twenty months together with his father, and forty- 
three years by himself. 
2 Kings Evil-merodach, his son, succeeds him in the 37th 
XXV. 27 year of the captivity of Jehoiachin, or Jeconiah, 
Jer. LII. 31 who presently gives order for the enlargement of 
Jehoiachin, and two days after changeth his prison-

and causeth him to eat at his own table. Jehoia- 
chin dies about two years after.

Cyrus having given the kingduni of Babylon to 
Darius the McJe, reserving some palaces in the 
city for himself, he returns tlirough Media into 
Persia. 
VI. 6 Daniel's greatness raising envy in some principal 
courtiers and officers, these contrive his ruin ; but 
finding nothing in his management of affairs wliere-

that Daniel's piety toward God shall become an of- 
fence worthy of death. Tliey move the king to 
make a decree, tliat for thirty days no petition shall 
he made to any god or man, but to himself only. 
Wliich decree Daniel breaks, by making supplica- 
tion to his God, and is, for dt-ing so, cast into a den 
of lions; but being found to have received no hurt 
there, Darius commands the conspirators to be cast 
into the same den, who arc presently devoured; 
tnd the king publisheth a decree, that all persons 
throughout his dominions shall reverence and fear 
the God of Daniel. 
52,7 IX. Toward the end of the first year of the reign of 

Darius the Mede, to be reckoned from tlie subver- 
sion of the Babylonish empire, begins the seventieth 
Jeremiah year of the captivity of tlie Jews, which, by Jere- 
XXIX. lOmiah's prophecy, was to be the last year of their 
calamity. Upon consideration of which time so near 
Dan. IX. at hand, Daniel pours out most fervent prayers to 
(Jod for the remission of his own sins, and those 
of his people, and for that promised deliverance 
out of their captivity. To whom the angel Gabriel 
brings an answer not only of this, but also of the 
spiritual deliverance of tlie church by the death of 
the Messiah ; uttering that memorable prophecy of 
the seventy weeks. 

Cyrus' father Cambyses, and his father-in-law 
Cyaxares both dying, Persia falls to him by inheri- 
tance, and Media by contract of marriage, and so 
he is possessed of the whole Eastern empire; from 
which time, both Xenophon ( Instit.lib. 8.) reckons 
the seven years of jiis reign, and the holy Scripture, 
out of the records of the Medes and Persians, 
F.zra I. 2 reckons this his first year ; for it teacheth lis, that 
in this year came forth that renowned edict of his, 
Thus saith Cyrus king of Persia, Tlie Lord God of 
heaven hath given me all the kingdoms of the earth, 
and hath charged me to build liim an house at Jery 
salem, which is in Judali, i:fc. At which time the 
seventy years of the Babylonish captivity being ex- 
Isaiah pired, (as was foretold by Isaiah and Jeremiah, the 
XLIV. 28 former making mention of Cyrus by name,) he 
XLV. 1, l." gives leave to all the Jev/s dwelling in all parts of 
his dominions, to return into their own country, and 
commands them immediately to fall in hand with 
rebuilding of the temple. 

He restoreth also all the vessels of the house of 
God, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought from 
thence ; and contributes towards the building. 
Ezra I. 5, 6 The Jews therefore return into tlieir own coun- 
try ; the poorer sort having allowance made them 
II. to defr.iy their charges upon the way. The number 

Nehem. of the children of the province, or Heljrcws born in 
VII. Chalde-i, which, with their captain Zerui)babel, and 
their high priest Jeshua, return out of captivity, is 
42,360, besides proselytes, men-servants, and maid- 
servants, to the number of 7337. Now, the parti- 
cular sums of Ezra's catalogue being cast up, amount 
only to 29,818, and those in Nehemiah's account 
make but 31,031, both which come far short of that 
universal sum of 42,360, which at the bottom of each 
catalogue is said to be the number of the whole con- 
gregation; wherefore the Hebrews, in the 29th chap- 
ter of their great Chronicle, tell us, that to complete 
\rts tlie full sum of 42,3f.O, we must cast in those of the 
XXVI. 7 other ten tribes of Israel, wlio came up out of capti- 
Lam. I. 1 vity with the Jews. For even till the last extirpation

Jerusalem, and other cities of Judah, but also of thosC 
who kept still in their own seats; for Sluilmauees 
swept not away all out of the whole ten tribes, but 
left a remnant of them in their own cou'.itr) , who 
were afterwards, together with the Jews, lienjam- 
ites, and Levites, carried away by Nebuchadnez- 
zar into Babylon, and are now disrnissed and sent 
back again by Cyrus. 

In tlie second year after their return from Baby- 
lon, in the second month, they appoint Levites to 
ove»see the work of the house of (iod, and lay the 
foundation of the temjde ; the old men lamenting, 
who fifty -three years before had seen the old tem- 
ple standing, and the younger sort rejoicing to sec 
the new one going up. 

The Samaritans, by the n.eins of certain cour- 
tiers about Cyrus, wliom tliey had bribed for that 
purpose, disturb the Jews in their work of the 
temple. 

In the beginning of the reign of Artaxerxes (call- 
ed in profane history Cambyses) the Samaritans, 
who whilst Cyrus lived had secretly undermined 
the Jews, now openly frame a direct accusation in 
writing against the inhabitants of Judah and Jeni- 
salem, and present it to the king, who presently 
forbids the Jews to proceed in the building. 

In the second year of king Darius Hystaspes (the 
same with Ahasucrus) Zeruhbabel and Jeshua, in- 
cited by the prophets Haggai and Zechariah, set 
forward the building of the temple. 

Haggai prophesieth, that the glory of this second 
temple shall be greater than that of the former, not 
is being a more magnificent structure, but in re- 
gard the blessed Messiah shall one day honour it 
with his presence, and from thence propagate peace 
to all nations. 

About this time Zechariah the prophet exhortcth 
the Jews to repentance. 

Ahasuerus puts away queen Vashti his wife, and 
not long after espouseth Esther, the niece of Mor- 
decai the Jew. 

In the sixth year of Darius, or Ahasuerus, the 
temple is finished, the dedication whereof is cele- 
brated with great joy and alnindance of sacrifices, 
the prie.sts and Le^ ites, every one in his place, at- 
tending on the ministry of the temple. The pass- 
over also is celebrated. 

Haman an Agagite, of the race of the .Amalekitcs, 
a great favourite of king Ahasuerus, offended at 
Mordecai, because he falls not down and adores him, 
as others do, resolves to be revenged of the whole 
nation of the Jews, (which was ever averse to his,) 
and to root it out: for the executing of which pur- 
pose, that he may find a successful time, he causeth 
Pur, that is, the Lot, to be cast before him, for to 
know t)ie day and month wherein the Jews shall be 
destroyed; and the lot falls on the twelfth month, 
Adar. 

Haman obtains iln edict from the king, that all 
Jews, without respect to sex or age, upon the 13th 
day of the month Adar, be put to death in all the 
provinces of the king's dominions. Hereupon Mor- 
decai, Estlicr, and all the Jews, humble themselves 
before the Lord by fasting and ])ra} er. 

Aliasuerus hearing it read in the Chronicles, 
that a conspiracy had been discovered to him by 
Mordecai, commandeth that he be publickly ho- 
noured, and that by Haman himself, his deadly 
enemy. ■ 

Esther entertaining the king and Haman at a ban- 
quet, maketh suit for her own life and her people's, 
and accuseth Haman. The king understanding 
that Haman had provided a gallows for Mordecai, 
causeth him to be hanged thereon. In memory of 
this great deliverance the two days of Purim are 
made festival. 

Ezra the priest, a man skilled in the law of Mo- 
ses, obtains a large commission from king Artax- 
erxes to settle the Jewish commonwealth, and to re- 
form the church at Jerusalem.

In the seventh year of Artaxerxes, Ezi-a, with a 
great multitude of Jews, sets out ft-om Babylon. 

Ezra obligeth those who had taken strangei'S to 
wife to seiid them back. 

In the twentieth year of king Artaxerxes, Nehe- 
miah, a Jew, one of his cup-bearers, being made go- 
vernor of Judea, obtains leave to build the walls of 
Jerusalem, and finish that great work. Here begin 
Daniel's seventy weeks, to be fulfilled before the 
passion of our Saviour. 

Nehemiah, having governed Judea twelve years, 
returns to the king of Persia. 

This year is the twenty -first jubilee, the last that 
ever the prophets of the Old Testament saw: for 
that place in Nehemiah, chapter xii. 22. is not to be 
understood of the last Darius, but of Darius Nothus., 
who now reigns in Persia ; the full history of Nehe- 
miah ending with the time of Artaxerxes Longi- 
manus, father of this Darius Nothus. 

Hitherto (says Eusebius in his Chronicle to the 
thirty-second year of Artaxerxes) the Divine Scrip- 
tures of the Hebrews contain the annals of the times : 
but those things which were done among them af- 
terward we must deliver out of the books of the Mac- 
cabees, and out of the writings of Josey^hus, who 
have delivered a general history of the Jewish af- 
fairs from thence down to the times of the Romans. 

That Malachi, the last of the prophets, was con- 
temporary with Nehemiah, appears from hence, 
that he no where exhorts the people to the building 
of the temple, as Haggai and Z^chariah did; but 
the temple being now built, he reproves those dis- 
orders whicii Nehenjiah, at his second return with 
a new commission from Babylon, saith he found 
in hi;; absence to have crept in among the Jews ; 
as marriage with strange wom.en, withholding of 
tithes, and abuses in the worship of God. And be- 
cause a succession of prophets was not to be ex- 
pected as befoi-e, he exhorteth the people constant- 
ly to adhere to the law of Moses, till Christ the 
chief prophet should appear ; whose forerunner 
John the Baptist should come in the spirit and 
power of EUas, to turn the hearts of the fathers un- 
to their children, and the disobedient to the wisdom 
of the just. See I Mac. iv. 46. and ix. 17".

ALEXANDER the great, king of Macedonia, 
passeth out of Europe into Asia, and begins to lay 
waste the Persian empire. 

Manasses, brother to Jaddus the high priest, re- 
fusing to put away his strange wife, is driven from 
the sacrifice. Sanballat his father-in-law, gover- 
nor of Samaria, revolteth from Darius, obtains leave 
of Alexander to build a temple on mount Gerizim, 
and makes Manasses high priest thereof; to which 
resort all such as are entangled in unlawful mar- 
riage, with all such offenders as think themselves 
not safe at Jerusalem. This was the rise of that 
schismatical conventicle of the Samaritans. See 
John iv. 20. 

Alexander marcheth toward Jerusalem, intend- 
ing to besiege it. Jaddus the high priest hearing of 
it, putteth on his priestly ornaments, and accompa- 
nied with the people all in white, goeth out to meet 
him. Alexander, seeing his habit, falls prostrate 
before him, saying, that whilst he was in Macedo- 
nia a man appeared unto him in the very same ha- 
bit, who invited him to come into Asia, and promised 
to deliver the Persian empire into his hands. Af- 
ter this he goes to the temple, and offers sacrifice 
according to the high priest's direction. They shew 
him the prophecy of Daniel, that a Grecian should 
come and destroy the Persians; whereby he is 
mightily confirmed in his persuasion that he him- 
self is the man. Lastly, he bestoweth on the Jews 
whatever favours they desire, and departeth. 

The Persians are overcome, Darius slain, and 
Alexander remaias universal monarcli of the east- 
ern world.

Alexander, having reigned six years and ten 
uonths, dieth ; his army and dominions arc divided 
imong his captains; Antigonus makes himself go- 
vernor of Asia ; Selencus of Babylon, and the bor- 
dering nations; Lysimachiis hath the Hellespont; 
Cassander, Macedon ; and Ptolemy the son of La- 
gus gets Egypt. 

Ptolemy, surnamed Roter, makes hirnseli n- aster 
)f Jerusalem by a stratagem ; for he enters the city 
)n a sabbath-day, under pretence of offering sa- 
crifice, and whilst the Jews suspect nothing, but 
spend the day in ease and idleness, he surprisetU 
the city without resistance, and maketh the citizens 
captives. He sendeth several colonies of Jews into 
Egypt, and puts great confidence in them. 

Ptoleriieus Philadelphus, son of Ptolemeus Soter, 
being a great favourer of learning, builds a most 
magnificent library at Alexandria. Demetrius Pha- 
lereus, to whom he had committed the care of pro- 
curing all sorts of books, and out of all countrie.*. 
persuades him to employ seventy -two Jews in trans- 
lating the holy Scriptures out of the original He- 
brew into the Greek tongue, which was done in the 
seventh year of his reign. The king also dismiss- 
eth many captive Jews, and dedicates many prc-f 
sent's to the temple of God at Jerusalem. 

One Simon, a mun of the tribe of Benjamin, go- 
vernor of the temple, falling out with Onias the 
higii priest, goes to Apollonius the governor of Cre- 
losy ria, and informs him that there is a vast ti-easure 
in the temple. Apollonius acquaints king Seleucus 
his master with it, who presently sends his treasurer 
Heliodorus to Jerusalem to bring this money away. 
Heliodorus entering the temple, is by angels struck 
down in the very place, and carried from thence 
half-dead; but by the prayers of Onias he is soon 
after restored to his health. Returning to Seleucus 
that sent hira, he magnifies the holiness of the tem- 
ple, and the power of God dwelling in it. 

Antiochus Epiphanes succeeds Seleucus in the 
kingdom of Syria, and reigneth eleven years and 
some months. 

Jason, by corrupting king Antiochus, obtaineth 
the office of high priest. 

Menelaus, brother to Simon the traitor, beiiip- 
employed by Jason to carry the money to the kin^ 
promiseth 300 talents of silver above what Jason 
had sent, and getteth the priesthood to himself. 

Menelaus, not paying the money he had promised 
the king at his adm.ission, is summoned to appear 
before Antiochus; he substitutes Lysimachus his 
brother in his place. 

Antiochus taketh Jerusalem, and sacking it, pil- 

21, 221ageth the temple, destroyeth 40,000 of the inhabi- 

2 Mac. V. jtants, and selleth as many more. He endeavoureth 

Jos. Ant. lalso to abolish the worship of God, and forceth ma- 

1. 12,^ c. 7 ny Jews to forsake their I'eligion. The Samaritans 

Dan. XI. 28 now disown their relation to the Jews, to whom, in 

prosperity, they pretended alliance, and consecrate 

the tem])le on mount Gerizim to Jupiter. 

Perseus, having made war upon the Romans, is 
this year overcome by them, and the kingdom of 
the Macedonians ends, when from Carauniis it had 
stood 626 years. Nevertheless, the reliques of the 
Macedonian empire, while that of the Roman was. 
rising, did yet survive in the Ptplemies of Egypt, 
and the kings of Syria. 

King Antiochus, by a public edict, commands all 
nations that are subject unto him to observe the 
same way of divine worshij), and laying aside their 
peculiar customs, to profess the same religion with 
the Grecians ; the punishment of death beingthreat- 
ened unto such as shall be disobedient ; and he ap- 
points overseers over every people and nation, who 
shall compel them iiereunto. Of the Jews many- 
choose rather to undergo the most cruel torments

1 Mac. II. I Mattathias a priest, wit)i his five sons, slay those 

2 Mac. VI. that are sent by king Antiochus to compel them to 
Jos. .\nt. joft'er abominable sacrifices, and after betake thcm- 
1. IJ, c. 8 selves to the desert. They are followed by many 

others, of whom a great number arc stifled in their 

caves, because they would not defend themselves on 

the sabbath-day. Mattathias abolishoth that super 

stition, and exhorts hix sons to assert their privi- 

lei^es, and deliver their country from bondage. 

1 Mac. III. Mattathias dies, and Judas Maccabeus takes upon 

2 Mac. him the management of this aft'air. He delivers 

VIII. his country, and purgeth it from the abominations 

Jos. Ant. which had been committed in it. 

1. 12, c. 9 Apollonius, governor of Samaria, having raised 
I Mac. III. an army among the Gentiles and Samaritans, falls 
Jos. Ant. upon the Jews; but is discomfited and slain by Judas 
1. 12, c. 10 Maccabeus. 
1 Mac. III. Scron also, governor of the Lower Syria, musters 
13 up all the forces under his command, and invade 
Jos. ut su- Judea; him Judas Maccabeus encounters, slays 800 
pra. of his men on the place, and ])uts the rest to flight. 
1 Mac. III. Judas Maccabeus defeats a great army, which An 
27 tiochus sent against the Jews. I^ysias returns with 
Jos. Ant. a greater power ; Judas kills 5000 of his men, and 
1. 12, c. 11 causeth him to retreat. He ])urificth the ttmple, 
and setteth it in order, after it had lain desolate 
three years, and buildcth a wall about Sion. 

1 Mac. VI. Antiochus is taken w ith a violent pain in his bow- 

2 Mac. IX. els, and such a rottenness seizeth his flesh that 

9 worms breed in it ; he confesscth that he is plagued 

Jos. Ant. for the wrong done to Jerusalem, and dieth, in the 

1. 12, c. 13 149th year of the kingdom of the Grecians. His 

son Antiochus Eupator, a child about nine years old, 

siMceeds him. He maketh jjcace with the Jews, 

2 Mac. Ijut quickly breaketh it. He i)uts to death Mene- 

XIII. laus the high priest, and confers that honour upon 
Alcimus or Jacimus. 

Jos. Ant. Onias, the son of Onias III. retires into Egypt, 
1. 12, c. 15 where Ptolemy Fhilomctor, and Cleopatra his wife, 
l>ermit him to build a temple at Heliopolis, in imi- 
tation of that at Jerusalem, and they constitute him 
high priest there. 
1 Mac. VII. Demetrius Soter, the son of Seleucus, escapes 
from Rome, and comes into Syria, where he caus- 
eth himself to be crowned king, and putteth to death 
Antiochus and Lysias. 
2 Mac. Demetrius, at the instance of Alcimus, sends Ni- 

XIV. cauor with a great army against Judas Maccabeus, 
Jos. Ant. whom he endeavours to surprise. They join bat- 
1. 12, c. 17 tie, and Nicanor is slain. 

Here ends the continued history of the second 
book of Maccabees, being an abstract ana brevi- 
ary of the five books of Jason, a Jew of Cyrene. 
1 Mac. IX. King Demetrius .sends Bacchides with a new ar- 
Jos. Ant. my, consisting of 20,000 men, against Judas Macca- 
l. 12, c. 18 beus ; Judas, having with him but 800 men, ventures 
19 to engage him, and is slain. His bi'other Jonathan 
is chosen general in his stead. 
1 Mac. Jonathan enters into an alliance with the Romans. 

VIII. 19Josephus observes, that this was the first league 
Jos. Ant. that ever was known to be between the Romans 
1. 18, c. 17 and the Jews. 

1 Mac. IX. Whilst .-Mcimus commands the wall of the inner 
55 court of the temple to be pulled down, Ciod strikes 
him suddenly with a palsy, so that, without speak- 
ing a word, he dies in great torment. 
70 Jonathan having wearied Bacchides by war, com- 
Jos. Ant. pelleth him to make a league, and draw oflThis army. 
1. 13, c. 2 Alexander Balas, the son of king Antiocluis Epi- 
1 Mac. X. 1 phanes, enters with an army into Syria; the garri- 
Jos. Ant. son of Ptolcmais set open their gates to him, by rea- 
1. 13, c. 3 son of their hatred to king Demetrius, who prepares 
1 Mac. X. himself for war. 

3, 10. Demetrius desireth an alliance with Jonathan, 
Jos. .\nt. who makes use of this occasion to repair the forti- 

1. 13, c. 4 fications of Jerusalem. 
1 Mac. X. .Mcxander Balas is no less careful to obtain the 
15 friendship of Jonathan ; and, to oblige him, confers 
Jos. Ant. on him the high priesthood.

Sixth age of the world, 

month of the 160th year of the kingdom of the Gre- 
cians, at the feast of taljernaclcs. He was the first 
high priest of the Hasnioncan family, 

Demetrius and Alexander come to a battle, and 
Demetrius is slain. 

Alexander Balas finding himself in the peaceable 
possession of the king<,'.oni of Syria, espou.scth Cleo- 
patra, the daughter of Ptolemy Philometr r king of 
Egypt. Alexander highly honours Jonathan the 
high priest at his nuptiitls. 

IJemetrius Nicanor. eldest son of Demetrius So- 
ter, enters into Cilicia with an army. King Alex- 
ander Bahis gives the command of Syria to .Vpollo- 
nius, who set^ upon J"n.ithan the higii priest; Jona- 
than defeats him, and takes Joppe and Azotus, and 
burns the temple of Dagon. 

Ptolemy Philometor king of Egy pt comes to the 
relief of king .Mexander his son-in-law. Alexan- 
der ungratehilly sets Ammonius to lie in ambush to 
kill him. The treachery being discovered, Ptole- 
my takes aw ay his daugiiter from .\lcxandcr, and 
marrieth her to Demetrius. Alexander having 
been di-iven tVom Antioch, the inhabitants of that 
place make ofTer of the kingdom to Ptolemy, but he 
refuseth it, and persuadeth them to accept of De- 
metrius for their king. 

Alcxajuler returns with a great army. Ptolemy 
and Demetrius unite their forces, and overcome 
him in a pitched battle; but Ptolemy dies of the 
wounds which he received, after he had sicn the 
head of Alexander sent to him by Zabdiel an Ara- 
bian prince. Jonathan besiegeth the citadel at Je- 
rusalem, held by a garrison of Macedonians. Com- 
plaint hereof being made to Demetrius, Jonathan 
a])peaseth him by presents, and obtaineth new fa- 
vours for the Jews. Demetrius incurreth the ha- 
tred of his soldiers, by abridging their pay in time 
of peace. 

'rryi)hon, with some soldiers that revolted from 
Demetrius, undertakes to establish .Antiochus the 
son of Alexander Balas in the kingdoni of Syria. 

Demetrius is van(juished by yf>ung Antiochus and 
made to flee into Seleuria. (ireat honours are by 
Antiochus conferred on Jonathan, who assists him 
against Demetrius. 

Jonathan renews his alliance with the Romans 
and Lacedemonians, and fortitieth Jerusalem. 

Frvphon contrives how he may (piit himself of 
Antiocluis, and reign in his stead; bui fearing Jo- 
nathan's opposition, he invites him to come to Pto- 
lemais, and bring with him some few of his soldicis, 
promising to deliver that city into his hands. Jo- 
nathan suspecting no treachery, comes only with 
1000 men to Tryjjhon at Ptolemais; but as soon as 
he is entered the city, Tryphon commands the gates 
to be shut. Jonathan is taken prisoner, and all his 
men ]>ut to the sword. 

The Jews hereupon make choice of Simon Mac- 
cabeus for their general in the place of his brother 
Jonathan. Tryplion leads an army against Simon, 
He promiseth for 100 talents of silver to release Jo- 
nathan ; the money being paid him, he breaks his 
])romise, and puts Jonathan to death. Simon erects 
a stately monument for his father and his brethren. 

Try])hon murders the young king Antiochus, and 
puts the crown on his own head. 

The Romans and Lacedemonians renew their 
leagues with Simon, and write them in tables of 
brass. 

Simon has the government and high priesthood 
settled on him and his heirs; the Jews are by his 
means discharged from all manner of tribute to any 
foreign prince. He takes Sion the fortress of Jeru- 
.salcm, drives out of the city all idolaters, clears th« 
houses of their idols, and placeth in the city such 
as are true worshippers of God. 
C. 12 Trvphon's vice render him so odious to his sol- 
diers that they submit themselves to Cleopatra, De- 
metrius's relict. She marrieth Antiochin, Soter, De- 
mctrius's brother, and causeth him to be crowned 

king.

Jos. Ant. comes down with his two sons, Mattathias and Ju- 
1. 13, c. 14 das, to Jericho ; Ptolemeus the son of Abubus, Si- 
mon's son-in-law, invites them to a castle which he 
fiad fortified, called Dochus, and there, whilst he 
entertains them at a banquet, barbarous!)- murders 
them. John Hircanus succeeds his father in the 
high priesthood. 

Here ends the First Book of Maccabees, contain- 
ing the history of forty yean. 

Jos. Ant. John Hircanus takes Shechem, and demolisheth 
1. 13, c. 17 the temple on mount Gerizim, 200 years after it 

had been built by Sauballat. 
Jos. lib. 1 Judas, eldest son of Hircanus, otherwise called 
Bell. c. 3 Aristobulus, and surnamed PhileUen, succeeds his 
Ant. 1. 13 father in the government, and the high priesthood ; 
C 19 & 1. 20 he was the first of any that, after the return from 
c. 8 the captivity of Babylon, set a crown upon his head, 
and changed the state into a monarchy. 
Luke II. 3r Anna the prophetess, daughter of Phanuel, of the 
tribe of Asher, this year becoming a widow, departs 
not from the temple, but serveth God with fasting 
and prayer night and day for 84 years together, un- 
til such time as she sees Christ in the temple. 
Jos. lib. 1 Jerusalem is this year taken by Pompey, who 
Bell. c. 5 meddles not with any of the treasure which was in 
Ant. 1. 14 the temple, but makes the Jews tributary to the 
c. 8. Romans, 

Here begins the Empire of the Roman Cesars, 
when Julius Cesar^ having overthrown Poni/iey 
at the battle of Pharsalia, was made /lerfietual 
dictator. 

Jos. lib. 14 Herod, the son of An_tipas, or Antipater, an Idu- 
c. 25 mean, is this year, by the Romans, declared king 
of Judea. 
Id. Ibid. c. Herod, assisted by Sosius the Roman general, 
28 lays siege to Jerusalem, and takes it; the soldiers 
lib. 1 fill aU corners of the city with blood, rapine, and 
Bell. c. 13 cruelty. Antigonus, the prince and high priest, is 
by Sosius canned away prisoner to Rome, and He- 
rod put in fall possession of the kingdom. 

About this time Hillel a Babylonian, descended 
from David, flourished at Jerusalem ; one of whose 
disciples was Jonathan the son of IJ zziel, the famous 
autlior of the Chaldee paraphrase. 

Cesar Octavianus, nephew to Julius Cesar, in his 
fifth consulship, with the assent of the senate and 
people of Rome, assumes the title of Emperor, at 
which time the government among the Romans was 
legally clianged from a republic into a monarcliy. 
The next year following he is, by the senate, sur- 
named Augu?<tus. 

Herod this year begins to enlarge, or rather to 
rebuild, the temple at Jerusalem, 46 years before 
the first passover of the ministry of Christ, and in 
nine years and an half fiiusheth that magnificent 
structure. 

The angel Gabriel appears to Zachary the prie«t, 
as he is offering incense in the temple, telling him, 
that a son shall be born unto him, whom he shall 
call John ; who also shall be a Nazarite, and the 
forerunner of the Lord, in the spirit and power of 
Elias. 
26 In the sixth month after John was conceived, the 
same angel Gabriel is sent by God to Nazareth in 
Galilee, to the most blessed Virgin Mary, (espoused 
to Joseph, a person of the house and lineage of Da- 
vid;) the angel declares unto her, that she shall 
conceive by the overshadowing of the Holy Ghost, 
and bring forth a Son, and call his name JESUS.

Isa. XLI. 1 L'nto John God gives a sign, whereby he may know 
the Lord's Christ, tliat upon whom he shall see the 
Spirit descending and remaining on him, the same 
is he which shall baptize with the Holy Ghost. 
Jesus, entering upon the 30th year of his age, 
Mark 1. 9 |comes from Galilee to Jordan, and is baptized of 
Luke III.22 John, at which time a most illustrious manifestation 
is made of the blessed Trinity ; for the Son of God 
ascending out of the water, and praying, the hea- 
vens are opened, and the Spirit of God, in the shape 
of a dove, descends upon him ; and the voice of the 
Father is heard from heaven, saying. This is my 
beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. 

John sees it, and bears record, that this is tlie 
Son of God. 

Jesus, full of the Holy Ghost, returns from Jor-

where he fasteth 40 daj s and 40 nights, and is after-

feast, and heals on the sabbath-day a man that had 
an infirmity 38 years, lying at the pool of Bcthesda. 
He makes a most divine apology to the Jews that 
sought to kill him, because he said that God was his 
Father.

eth twelve, whom he callcth Apostles; namely, Pe- 
ter, Andrew, James, John, Pliilip, Bartholomew, 
Matthew, Tliomas, James the son of Alphcus, Si- 
mon called Zelotes, Judas the brother of James, and 
Judas Iscariot. To these our Saviour chiefly directs 
his discourse in that glorious, full, and admirable 
sermon on the mount.

A certain village of the Samaritans refuseth our

eth Christ and the resurrection, and about 3t)00 be- 
lievers are added to the church. 

III. Peter, by faith in Christ's name, healeth a lame 
man. 

IV. The rulers of the Jews, offended at Peter's ser- 
mon, and his miraculous cure of the lame m;m, cast 
both him and John into prison ; upon their exami- 
nation they boldly avouch the lame man to be healed 
by the name of Jesus, and that by the same Jesus we 
must be eternally saved. After this the Jews for- 
bid them to speak any more in that naiuc ; but the 
apostles answer, that it is fit they should obey Gftd 
rather than men. They are threatened, and let go. 

Ananias and his wife Sapphira, for their hypo- 
crisy, are suddenly struck dead. 
17 The apostles arc again cast into prison by the 
high priest, but an angel sets theni at liberty, and 
bids them i)rcach the gospel to the people without 
fear ; being taken again teaching in the temple, they 
are brought before the council, where, by the advice 
of Gamaliel, a Pharisee and doctor of the law, they 
are delivered. 

VI. The number of believers increasing at Jerusalem, 
the apostles ordain seven deacons, who sliould dis- 
tribute the alms of the whole church to the widows, 

VII. and poorer sort of believers. Stejihen, one of these 
deacons, ha\ing confounded some that disputed with 
him, is by them falsely accused of lilasphemy, and 
brought before the council, where he reprehends 
their rebellion and murdering of Christ. Where- 
upon they cast him out of tlie city, and stone him ; 
he, in the mean time, praying for them. 

VIII. .\ great persecution of the church at Jerusalem 
follows after the death of the first martyr Ste- 
phen. 

Philip, one of the seven deacons, preachcth at 
Samaiia, andconverteth mmy ; worketh miracles, 
and healeth the sick. Simon the sorcerer, seeing 
the wonders that are done by Philip, bclieveth, and 
is baptized. 
15 The apostles at Jerusalem hearing that Samaria 
had received the faith, si-nd thither I'eter and Jolin 
to confirm and enlarge the church. The apostles, 
by prayer and imposition of hands, confer the Holy 
Ghosf on all bilievers. Simon Magus offers them 
money, that he may receive power of conferring the 
same, whose impiety is sharply reproved by Peter, 
Having completed their ministry ia those parts, 
ithey relum to Jerusalem.

name of Jesus, and one who consented to the death; Ro- 
of Stephen, goes now toward Drtnu-scns, with com- ""*" 
mission from the high priest and the council to ap- pa-e. 
prehend all Christians in those parts, and to bring 
them hound to Jerusalem : on the way he is mira- 
culously converted by a voice from heaven, and 
three days after baptized by Ananias at Damascus, 
where he preacheth xX\e gospel of Christ with great 
boldness, to the astonishment of those that knew 
upon what design he was sent thither. 

Saul having preached the gospel at Damascus a 

2 Cor. XI. long time, the Jews lay wait to kill him, but he es- 
32 capes from thence, and comes to Jerusalem ; there 

Gal. I, 18. he sees Peter, and Jam.es the brother of our Lord, 
and abides with them fifteen days. Here he speaks 
boldly in the name of Jesus, and disputes with the 
Grecians, or rather Jews that used the Greek; 
tongue. These also consult how they may kill him 

Acts XXII. While Saui prays in the temple, he is in a trance,! 52 
17 and the Lord appears unto him, and bids him to de-J 
part from Jerusalem, because they will not receive 
his testimony ; adding that he will send him to the 
Gentiles. 
IX. 30 Saul, leaving Jerusalem, goes to his ovm country^ 

Gal. I. 21 Tarsus, and from thence travels into Syria and Ci- 

licia. 53 

Acts IX. 32 Peter visits the churches of Judea, Galilee, Sa- 
maria, C5'c. At Lydda he cureth jS^neas of the 
palsy ; and at Joppa restoreth Tabitha to life. 

At Cesarea, Cornelius a centurion, by prayers 
and alms, finds favour in the sight of God, and is 
commanded by an angel to send for Peter, now at 
Joppa. God by a vision teacheth Peter not to de- 
spise the Gentiles. Peter being sent for by Corne- 
lius, goes and preacheth Christ to him, and a great 
comjjany that were met at his house. While Peter 
preacheth, the Holy Ghost falls upon them all ; and 
immediately the apcstle baptizeth them. 
XI. Peter at his return to Jerusalem is accused by 

those of the circumcision for conversing with the 
Gentiles; but he declares to them his vision, and 
the whole matter concerning Cornelius, and they 
glorifv' God for granting to the Gentiles also repen 
tance unto life. 

The believers, who ever since the martj-rdom of 
Stephen, and the persecution thereupon ensuing, 
had been dispersed throughout all Phenice and Cy- 54 
prus, come now to Antioch, and preach the gospel 
to the Greeks there, having before preached to none 
but the Jews. The church at Jei'usalem understand- 
ing this, and that the number of believers increased 
exceedingly, sends Barnabas thither to confirm! 
them ; he goes to Tarsus, and takes Saul along with 
him to Antioch, where ti\ey continue a whole year, 
converting multitudes to the faith. Here the dis- 
ciples were first called Christians. 

XII. About this time James the brother of John is be- 
headed by the command of Herod Agrippa. He al- 
so imprisoneth Peter, whom an angel delivers upon 
the prayers of the church. This same Herod, not 
long after, speaking to the people at Cesarea, some 
of them cry out. It is the voice of God, and nc*^ of 55 
man ; and immediately an angel of the Lord smites 
him, liecause he gave not the glory to God, and he 
is eisten of worms, and dieth. 

XIII. Barnabas and Saul set forward in their preaching 56 
of the gospel. They plant the Christian faith in Se- 
leucia, Cyprus, and other places. At Paphos they 
preach the gospel to Sergius Paulus, governor of 
that country. Elymas a sorcerer withstanding them, 
and endeavouring to turn away Sergius from the 57 
faith, is at Saul's rebuke struck blind. From this 
time Saul is always calli'd by his new name Paul; 
he preacheth at Antioch ; the Gentiles believe, but 
the Jews gainsay and biasphenie. Whereupon he 59 
and his assistants turn to the Gentiles, and coine to 
Iconium. 

95 4Z 



At Iconium they are persecuted and ready to be 
stoned. From hence they flee to Lystra and Deroc, 
cities of Lycaonia. At Lystra Paul healiag a crip- 
ple, the multitude cry out, that the gods are con-e 
down, and call Barnabas Jupisier, and Paul l\ie:-cu- 
rius, arKi would have sacrificed to them, had n ->r 
the apostles, v.ich clothes rent, run in among the; i^- 
and assured them that they were men like then. - 
selves. Soon after there come Jews fi-om An:icca 
2 Cor. XI. and Iconium, who exciie the people against then. . 
24 Paul is by the furious multitude stoned, and dra\. ; 
out of the city as dead; but wliiist the disciuki 
stand about him he riseth up, and the next day de- 
parts with Barnabas to Derbe. 
XII. 2 In this year, perhaps at this veiy time. Paul was 
caught up into the thirdheaven, and heard unspeak- 
able words, 14 years before he wrote iiis second epis- 
tle to the Corinthians. 
2 Tim. I. About this time Timothy, though a child, with 
his mother Eunice, and his grandmother Lois, em- 
brace the Christian faith preaciied by Paul. 
Acts XV. Certain judaizing Christians come from Judea to 
Antioch, and teach that tiie Gentiles ought to he 
circumcised, and observe the lav/ of Mose^i ; these 
Paul and Barnabas oppose, and a council is held by 
tiie apostles and others at Jerusalem to determine 
this controversy. The decrees of the sj nod are 
sent to the churches. 

Paul and Barnabas, thinking to visit the churclies 
together, fall at strife, and part asunder ; Barnabas 
and Mark go into Cyprus, Paul and Silas into Syria 
and Cilicia. 
XVI. Paul coming to Derbe, finds there Timothy, whcm 

(because his mother was a believing Jev/, though 
his father v;'as a Gentile) he causeth to be circum- 
cised, and taketh him along with him. He is by a 
vision admonished to go into Macedonia ; coming 
to Philippi, the chief city of that part of Macedonia, 
he converts Lydia; casteth out of a certain maid 
servant a spirit of divination, whose masters, losing 
a considerable gain thereby, bring Paul and Silas 
before the magistrates ; these cause them to be 
whipped and imprisoned; but at midnight, Paul 
and Silas praying and singing psalms, the doors of 
the prison fly open, and their bonds are loosed: the 
jailor, ready to kill himself, is concerted to th? 
f.iith, and baptized the same nigb.t, with his v/hole 
family. Next day the magistrates come themselves 
and pray them to depart the city. 

From Philippi Paul takes his journey througli 
Amphipolis and ApoUonia, and comes to Thessalo- 
nica, where he finds a synagogue of the Jews ; there 
he preacheth three sabbath-days; seme believe, 
others persecute him. Leaving Thessalonica, he 
comes to Berea, and soon after arrives at Athens, 
disputes with the philosophers, and declares unUk^ 
them that UNKNOWN GOD whom they had iPP 
liorantly woi-shipped. He converts Dionysius tiie 
Areopagite and others, and thence passeth lo Co- . 
rinth. 
XVIII. Paul at Corinth meets with Aquila and Priscilla, 
not icng before banished Rome by the decree of 
Claudius. Here he continues a year and six months, 
and thence writes to the Thessalonians. 

Paul is accused by the Jews, and bi-ought before 
Gallio, pi-oconsul of Achaia, w4io rcfuscth to be 
judge in a controversy .about religion, and so drives 
jthem away from the judgment-sej'.t. 
18| Paul departs ft-om Corinth, and passeth to Ephe- 
sns, thence he sets out towards Jerusalem, that he 
may be at the feast ; he lands at Cesarea, goes dowR 
to Antioch, and comes into the regi .ns of Galatia and 
Plirygia, confirming the disciples in all those nlaccs. 
XIX. Paul returns to Ephesus, disputes daily 'in the 

school of Tyr.innus, and continues preaching there, 
and the parts thereabouts. He writes his cpi^tl 
to the Galatians. 

At Ephesus, Demetrius a silver-smidi, jealous cf 
his gain, raiseth a tumult against Paul, which is ap- 
peased by the clerk.

1 Cor. 1. 11 About this time a schism ariseth in the church of 

XVI. 8 Corinth, which caiiseth Paul (now in or abrut Ephe- 

susj to write his first epistle to tlie Corinthians. 

Acts XX. Paul dejjarts from Ephesus, and comes into Ma- 

2Cor.VIII.cedonia, and gathers a contribution for the relief of 

1, 2, 6, 19 the surits at Jerusalem. 

The apostle havini; learned from Titus the suc- 
cess of his first, writes now his second ejjistle to the 
1 Cor. XVI. Corinthians. Out of Macedonia he goes into Greece, 
and comes to Corinth, where he writes his epistle 
to the Romans. 

Paul purposing to go directly from thence into 
Syria, that he may carry the collections to Jerusa- 
lem, the Jews lay wait for him, he understanding 
this, thinks it best to return into Macedonia the 
same way he came, and thence to pass into Asia 

After the days of unleavened bread Paul sails 
from Philippi, and comes to Troas ; there he re 
stores Eutys^us to life. Having passed through se- 
veral cities of Greece, he arrives at Miletus, from 
thence he sends to call the elders of the church of 
Epliesus, whom he earnestly exhorts to the per- 
formance of their duty. 

Paul comes to Jerusalem, is apprehended in the 
temple, and secured in the castle ; he claimeth tlie 
privilege of a Roman, and escapeth scourging. 

Paul pleadeth his cause before .\nanias the high 
priest. T)ie chief captain understanding that above 
40 Jews had bound tliemselves under a curse nei- 
ther to eat nor drink till they had killed him, sends 
him to Felix the governor of the province, by whom 
he is imprisoned at Cesarea. 

Paul is accused before Felix by Tertullus the ora- 
tor ; Felix goes out of his office, and, to gratify the 
Jews, leaves Paul in prison. Porcius Festus suc- 
ceeds him in the government. 

The Jews come to Cesarea, and accuse Paul be- 
fore Festus. He answers for hiniself, and appeals 
unto Cesar. King Agrippa comes to Cesarea, and 
Festus opens the whole matter to him. 

Paul makes his defence in the presence of Agrip- 
pa, who thereby is almost persuaded to be a Chris-

Paul comes to Rome, is a prisoner at large, and 
preaciieth there two years. 

Here ends the Hiatory of the Mta of the J/wstUs, 
written by Saint Luke, Saint Paul's beloved com- 
/latiion in his travelfi. 

St. Paul from Rome writes his epistles, 

To the Pliilippians. 

To Philemon. 

To the Colossians. 

To the Ephesians. 

About the latter end of this year St. Paul is set at 
liberty, and a little before his departure out of Italy 
into Asia he writes his epistle to the Hebrews. 

He preacheth the gospel in the isle of Crete, and 
leaves Titus there to set things in order, and ordain 
elders in every city. 

St. Paul writes his epistles. 

To Timothy I. 

To Titus. 

To Timothy II. 

About this time the epistles of St. Peter, St. John, 
and St. Jude, seem to be written. 

St. Peter and St. Paul are said to have suffered 
martyrdom at Rome toward the latter end of Ne- 
ro's reign. 

This year Jerusalem (according to Christ's pro- 
phecy) is besieged, taken, sacked, and burnt In Ti- 
tus. 1,100,000 of the Jews perish, Sr,000 are taken 
prisoners, besides an innumerable company that in 
other places of Judea kill themselves, or perish 
through famine, banishment, and other miseries. 

St. John is banished into the isle of Patmos by 
Domitian, and there receives and writes his Reve- 
lation. 

^ After the death of Domitian St. John rernrns to 
Ephesus, and at the request of the church, writes 
his gospel.

A CONCISE 



A CONCISE VIEW OF THE EVIDENCES OF THE CHRISTIAN KELIGION. 

BY J. FLETCHER. 



1. THE sacrcdpen-men, the Prophets and Apostles, were holy, 
■excellent men, and would not; artless, illiterate men, and there- 
fore could not, lay the horrible sclieme of deluding mankind. The 
hope of gain did not influence them, for thoy were self-denying 
men, that left all to follow a Master, who had nut w/iere to lay liia 
head ; and whoKe grand initiating maxim was, F.rctfit a manfor- 
make all lliai ht /lui/i, he cannot be jnij disci/ite. They were so dis- 
interested that they secured nothing on earth but hunger and na- 
Ibcduess, stocks and prisons, racks and tortures ; wliich indeed 
■was all that they could, or did expect, in consequence of Christ's 
express declarations. Neither was a desire of honour tlie motive 
of their actions; for their Lord himself was treated with the ut- 
most contempt, and had more th-an once assured them that they 
should certainly sliare the same tate : Besides, they were humble 
•men, not above working as mechanics for a coarse maintenance, 
and so little desirous of human regard, that they exposed to the 
world the meanness of tneir birth and occupations, their great ig- 
norance and scandalous i.ills. 

Add to this, that they were so many, and lived at such distance 
ef time and place from each other, that hud the\ been impostors, 
it would have been imi)racticable for them to contrive and carry 
on a forgery without being detected. And as they neither would, 
nor could deceive the world ; so they neitlier could nor would be 
decehjcd themselves: Tor they were days, months, and years, eye 
and ear witnesses of the things -which they relate; and when they 
had not the fullest evidence of important facts, they insi.stcd upon 
new proofs, and even upon sensible demonstration ■ ; as, for in- 
stance, Thomas, in the matter of our Lord's resurrection, John 
XX. 25. And to leave us no room to ([ucstion their sincerity, most 
of them joyfully sealed the truth of their doctrines w ith their own 
blood. Did so many and such marks of veracity, ever meet in any 
other authors? 

2. But even while they lived, they confirmed their testimony by 
K variety of miracles, wrought in divers places, and for a number 
of years ; sometimes before thousands of tUeir enemies, as the mi- 
racles of Christ and his discijjlcs ; sometimes before hundreds of 
thousandsj as those of Moses. These miracles were so well known 
and attested, that when both Christ and Moses appealed to their 
authenticity, before their bitterest ojjposers, njentioning the per- 
sons upon whom, as well as the particular times when, and the 
places where, they had been performed ; the facts were never de- 
nied, but j)assed over in silence, or maliciously attributed to the 
Prince of the Devils. By such a fntifv.l ulander as this, Porphyrv, 
Hierocles, Celsus, and Julian the Apostate, those learned and in- 
veterate enemies of Christianity, endeavoured (as the Pharisees 
had done before them) to saj) the arguments founded upon the mi- 
racles of Ctirist and his disciples. So sure tlien as God would ne- 
ver have disjdayed his arm, in the niostf astonishing manner, for 
the support of imposture, tlie sacred pen-men had their commis- 
sion from the Almighty, and their writings are his lively oracles. 
3. Reason iiself dictates, that nothing but the plainest matter of 
fuel could induce so many thousands of prejudiced and persecut- 
ing Jews, to em'jr. ice the humbling, self-denying doctrines of the 
cross, which they so much despised and abhorred. Nothing but 
the clearest evidence, arising from undoulited truth, could make 
multitudes of lawless, luxurious heatliens receive, follow, and trans- 
mit to posterity liie d(;ctrines and writings of the Apostles; espe- 
cially at a time when the vanity of their pretensions to miracles, 
and the gift of tongues, could be so easily discovered, had they 
been impostors — at a time when the profession of Christianity ex- 
posed ),erso)is of all ranks to the greatest contempt, and most im- 
minent danger. In this respect, the case of the primitive Chris- 
tians w idelv differed from that of Mahomet's followers ; for those, 
who adhered to the warlike, violent impostor, saved their lives 
and prop4rties, or attained to lionour, by their new, easy, and flesh- 
pleasing religion : But those, who devoted themselves to the meek. 



t Once indted the Lord firrmitiid thf Afafficians of Egyfit so 
to use their art, as to counterfit fjr a time some of Moses' mira- 
cles ; but it was only to make the authenticity of the others more 
C-07ttfiicuous ; this being the ha/i/iy effect nf the contest, when those 
ministers cf satan ivilhdreiv confounded, and forced to acknoiO' 
Udgc, that the finger of God vas ex'kltnfly dif>/iiayrd through the 
rod of their gnlagonift. 



self-denying, crucified Jesus, were frequently spoiled of their goods, 
and cruelly put to death ; or if they escaped with their lives, were 
looked uj)on as the very dregs of mankind. 

Add to this, that some of the most pr( found parts of the scrip- 
tures, were addressed to the inhabitants of polite Greece, and tri- 
umjjhant Rome, among whom | philosophy and literature, with 
the fine arts and sciences, were in the highest perfection; and 
who, consequently, were less liable to be the dujies of forgery and 
imposture. On tlie contrary, gross ignorance oversj)read those 
countries, where Mahomet first broached his absurd opinions, and 
propagated them with the sword : A sure sign this, that the sacred 
writers did not, like that impostor, avail themselves of the igno- 
rance, weakness, and helplessness of their followers, to impose 
falsehood upon them. 

4. When the authenticity of the miracles was attested bv thou- 
sands of living witnesses, religious rites were instituted, and per- 
formed by hundreds of thousands, agreeable to scripture injunc- 
tions, in order to perpetuate that authenticity. And these solemn 
ceremonies have ever since been ke])t up in all parts of the world ; 
the fiassover by the Jews, in remembrance of Moses' miracles in 
Egypt ; and the Eucharist by Christians, as a memorial of Christ's 
death, and the miracles that accompanied it, some of which are 
recorded by Phlegon the Trallian, an heathen historian. 

5. The Scriptures have not only the external sanction of mira- 
cles, but the internal stamp of the Omniscient God, by a variety of 
prophecies, some ofwhich have already been most exactly confiriiied 
by the events predicted ; witness, the rise and fall of tlie four grand 
monarchies according to Daniel's prophecy, chaj). ii. and vii ; and 
the destruction of the citv an'! temple of Jerusiilem, foretold by 
Christ, Matt. xxiv. 2. while others are ever/ day fulfilled in the 
face of infidels, particularly the persecution of the real disciples 
of Christ in our times, as well as in all ages, (see Matt. x. 52, 35. 
John XV. 20. and Gal. iv. 29.) and the present miserable state of 
the Jews, so exactly described by Moses, above three thousand 
years ago. See Deut. xxviii. 65. 

6. Sometimes the plainest /H-c/z/iec/fA-, the most public miracles, 
and the annals of kingdoms, well known when those books w ere 
first received, wonderfully concur to demonstrate their authenti- 
city. Take one instance out of many : A prophet ovt of Judah, 
above 300 years before the event, thus foretold the pollution of 
Jeroboam's altar at Bethel, before Jeroboam himself, who was at- 
tended by his priests, his courtiers, and no doubt a vast number of 
idolatrous worshippers : O altar, altar, thus says the Lord, be 
hold, a child shall be born unto the house of David, Josiah by 
name, who shall burn me/i'a bones upon thee : and this is the sign : 
Behold, this very day, the altar shall be rent, and the ashes that are 
u/ion it scattered. King Jeroboam inflamed with anger, stretched 
forth his hand against the man of Cod, saying to his ruards. Lay 
hold on him : But his extended hand was dried u/i so that he could 
not /lull it in again to him ; the rending of the altar, and scatter- 
ing of the fire, instantly took place ; and the c-.ij)ital prophecy was 
exactly fulfilled by pious king Josiah, as you may see by com- 
paring 1 Kings xiii. 1, &c. with 2 Kings xxiii. 15, Sec. Can we rea- 
sonably suppose, that books, containing accounts of such public 
events, would have been received as divine by a divided jjcople, if 

their 



t Not many Noble, not many Wise are called, says the jiftostle ; 
nevertheless some of both, even at the rise of Christianity, o/unly 
stood up for its truth, ytmong the noble we fnd Joseph, a mem- 
ber of the great Jewish council, Dionysius, one of the Judges at 
^ithens, and Elavius Clemens, a Roman Uruator ; and among the 
wise, Quadratus, yfristides, and ./Iihenugoras, .'Ifhtnian Fhiloso- 
phtrs ; Clemens, jirnobius, ./Immonius, jinnatolius, iJc. men of 
great learning at ^Ilexccndria ; and at Home, Justin martyr and 
Tertullian, both famous apologists for the religion of Jesus, the 
latter of whom in the second century told the Jiomon governors, 
that their corporations, councils, and armies, and the emperor's 
palace, were full of Christians : A'br is this improbable ; since so 
early as St. Paul's days the saints of Cesar's household saluted 
those of the Roman Provinces. Phil. iv. 22. Jiow credulous are 
they who can believe that persons of such rank and learning could 
be deluded by Jewish fishermen into the Koorahip of a crucifud 
imjiostor I 



A CO^XISE VIEW OF THE EVIDENCES OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGIOK. 



t^aclr authenticity had not been confirmed by indubitable matter of 
fact ? Nay, is it not as absurd to assert it as it would be to affirm, 
that the offices for the oth of November, and the 30th of January, 
were forged by cratty priests j and that the Papists, Puritans and 
Royalists of the last century, agreed to impose upon the world the 
history of the gunpowder plot, and of King Charles's decollation, 
with which these parts of the liturgy are so inseparably connected ? 

7. This scattered, despised people, the irreconcilable enemies of 
the Christians, keep with amazing caref the Old Testament, full 
of the prophetic history of Jesus Christ, and by that means afford 
the world a striking proof that the New Testament is true ; and 
Cliristians in their turn show, that the Old Testahient is abundantly 
e.'jnflrmed and explained by the New. The Earl of Rochester, the 
great wit of the last century, was so struck with this proof, that 
upon reading the 53d chapter of Isaiah, with floods of penitential 
tears, he lamented his former infideJ.ity, and warmly embraced 
the faith, which he had so publickly ridiculed. 

8. To say nothing of the venerable antiquity, and wonderful 
preservation of those books, some of which are by far the most 
ancient in the world ; to pass over the inimitable simplicity', or 
true sublimity of their style ; they carry with them such characters 
of truth, as command the respect of every unprejudiced reader. 

They open to us the mystery of the creation, the nature of God, 
angels, and man, the immortality |l of the soul, the end for which we 
were made, the origin and connection of moral and natural evil, the 
vanity of this world and the glory of the next. There we see in- 
spired shepherds, tradesmen, and fishermen, surpassing as much 
the greatest philosophers, as these did the herd of mankind, both 
in meekness of wisdom and sublimit)- of doctrine...„There we ad- 
mire the purest morality in the v.'orld, agreeable to the dictates of 
sound reason, confirmed by the witness which God has placed for 
himself in our breast, and exemplified in the lives of men of like 
passions with ourselves There we discover a vein of Ecclesias- 
tical history and theological truth, consistently running through a 
collection of sixty -six difTerent books, written by various authors 

in different languages, during the space of above 1500 years 

There we find, as in a deep and pure spring, all the genuine drops 
and streams of spiritual knowledge, which can possibly be met 

with in the largest libraries There the workings of the human 

heart are described, in a manner that demonstrates the inspiration 

of the Searcher of hearts There we have a particular account 

of all our spiritual maladies, with their various symptoms, and the 
method of a certain cure ; a cure that has been witnessed by mil- 
lions of mai-tyrs and departed saints, and is now enjoyed by thou- 
sands of good men, who would account it an honour to seal the truth 

of the scriptures with their own blood There you meet with the 

noblest strains of penitential and joyous devotion, adapted to the 

dispositions and states of all travellers to Sion And there you read 

those awful threatenings- and cheering promises, which are daily 
fulfilled in the consciences of men, to the admiration of believers, 
and the astonishment of attentive infidels. 

9. The wonderful efficacy of the Scriptures is another proof that 
they are of God. When they are faithfully opened by his ministers, 
and powerfully applied by his Spirit, they ivound and /leal, they 



t If the histories contained in the Old Testament, were in gene- 
ral for the credit of the Jews, the love of praise might indeed have 
engaged some of them to join in a fiublic forgery. But that book, 
ofnvhich they have ahvays been so tenacious, fireserits the ivorld 
chiefly nuith an account ofthfir monstrous ingratitude , unparallel- 
ed obstinacy, Jierfictual rebellions, abominable idolatries, and of the 
fearful judgments, ivhich their wickedness brought u/ion them. 
Moses, who leads the van of their sacred authors, sums ufi his his- 
tory of the Israelites, and draws up their character in these dis- 
graceful words, which he ^fxake to their face: You have been re- 
bellious against the Lord from the day that I knew you, Deut. ix. 
24-. .^nd even David and Solomon, thtir greatest kings, are re/:re- 
tented in those books as guilty of the 'greatest enormities. O ye 
deists, I appeal to your reason, and ask ; Would you die for, would 
you even connive at a notorious forgery, supposing the design of 
it Were merely to impose upon the world as divine, a book that should 
perpetually stigmatize your ancestors, and fx horrid biota upon 
the names for which you have the greatest vt-ncratio?: ? 

\\ It is remarkable that the wisest heathens with all their philo- 
sophy, seldom attained to a full assurance of the immortality of the 
soul. Cicero himself says: jVescio quotnodo, duni lego assentior ; 
cum fiOHui librum, et mecum ipse dc innnortalitatc aiiimorum c£pi 
cogitare, assentio omnia ilia elabitur. Tusc. Quests lib. I,

kill and make alive, they alarm the careless, turn or enrage the 
wicked, direct the lost, support the tempted, strengthen the weak, 
comfort mourners, and nourish pious souls. As the woman of Sa- 
maria said of Jesus, Come, see a man that told me all that ever I did: 
Is not this the Christ ? a good man can say of the Bible, " Come, 
see a book that told me all that was in my heart, and acquaintecf 
me with the various trials and dangers I have met v.ith in my spi- 
ritual travels ; a book where I have found those truths, which, like 
a divinely -tempered sword, have cut my way through all the snares 
and forces of my spiritual adversaries; and by whose directions 
my soul has happily entered the paradise of divine and brotherly 
love. Is not this the book of God?" 

10. To conclude; it is exceedingly remarkable, that the more 
humble and holy people are, the more they read, admire, and va- 
lue the scriptures ; and on the contrary, the more self-conceited, 
worldly-minded, and wicked, the more they neglect, despise, and 
asperse them. 

As for the objections which are raised against their perspicuity 
and consistency, those who are both pious and learned, know, that 
they are generally founded on prepossession, and the want of un- 
derstanding in spiritual things; or on our ignorance of several 
customs, idioms, and circumstances, which were perfectly known 
when those books were written. Frequently also the immaterial 
error arises merely from a wrong punctuation, or a mistake of 
copiers, printers, or translators; as the daily discoveries of pious 
critics, and ingenuous confessions of unprejudiced enquirers, abun- 
dantly prove. 

To the preceding arguments, I beg leave to add the following 
queries. Do not disbelievers, by supposing that the Scriptures are 
a forged book, and consequently that Christianity is a false religion, 
run upon the very rocks, which they seem so afraid of? And may 
they not be charged with indirectly setting their seal to opinions^ 
far more incredible than those which they reject? 

(1) O ye Disputers of this world, if ye believe that Moses and 
Jesus Christ, St. Peter and St. Paul, publickly worked iAam mira- 
cles for years, in various cities and countries, before thousands of 
their sharp -sighted opposers, without being ever detected in any 
of their tricks ; might you not as reasonably believe, that thousands 
of shi'ewd men were at once turned into stupid asses? 

(2) If you believe, ti at the gospel is the production of human 
deceit ; and yet, that in the prodigious nvimbcr of apostates once 
concerned in carrying on the amazing villany, such as Judas, De- 
mas, Simon Magus, Alexander the coppersmith, who did St. Paul 
much evil, kc. not one was ever found, that would prove the for- 
gery : might you not as reasonably believe, that if there were two 
violent parties in a state, and that one of them had been guilty oi 
some egregious villany, which was known to many of the other 
party, yet that none of the latter could be prevailed upon to dis- 
close and prove it to the world ?t 

(3) You believe, that the miracles and resurrection of Christ, 
together with the gifts of the Holy Ghost, were nothing but enthu- 
siasticalor knavish pretensions: and yet you are forced to grant, that 
thousands of Jews, strongly attached to their religion, amazingly 
averse to that of Jesus, and guilty of persecuting him unto death, 
took him openly for their Saviour a few weeks after they had seen 
him publickly scourged; and in the veiy city in sight of which he 
had just been crucified between two thieves. Now is not this as 
absurd as to believe, that if a few fishermen cried up the last per- 
son hanged in London for a notorious forgery ; and if thev affirmed 
that he was the Son of God, appealing to a great number of mira- 
cles supposed to have been wrought by him in the squares and hos- 
pitals of the metropolis, and especially in St. Paul's church-yard : 
and maintaining that some of them had been acknowledged genu- 
ine by the j] great council of the nation : they could, by such noto- 



t Pliny, a learned and prudent Roman goveryior. who was em- 
ployed by the emperor Trajan i?i stopping the progress of Chris, 
tianitys wrote to him, that the apostates affirmed, the whole of their 
crime had been to meet before day, and sing an " hyimi to Christ 
as to their God." His own words are : " ylffirniabant hancfuisse 
aumwam vel culpa sua vcl erroris, quod cssi-'it soliti stato die ante 
I lucem convenire, carmenque Christo quasi Deo direre." 

II Some remarkable instances of this we have in the sacred books, 
published when the facts mentioned therein were notorious, and 
when some of the persons named were probably yet alive. Jfter 
the resurrection of Lazarus, the chief priests and the Pharisees 
gathered a council, and said, What do we ? for this man does many

A CONCISE VIEW OF THE EVIDENXES OF THE CHRISTIAN RELIGION. 



the 



rious lies, engage thousands of citizens, to put all their trust in 
villain hangeil at their gfircia/ request? 

(4) You believe, thnt Christianity is a gross imposture; and yet 
you cannot dtuy, that thous:\nds of learned Konians and wise Greeks, 
who agreed to df^!ii)ise tiic Jiws above all other men, took for their 
Saviour that very Je^us, of whom his own countvynieu had lx:cn 
ashamed, and whom they had crucifi'-d as an impostor. Is not this 
as absurd as to believe that thousands of wise Enj;lishniiu and sen- 
sible Frenchmen, could be induced by the absurd tale of i wo or three 
Hottentots, to worship a certain Hottentot, whom the whole nation 
of Hottentots had condemned to be handed, as being more worthy of 
«n ignomrnicus death, than tlie bloody ringleader of a seditious mob ? 
\5) If you believe with some infidels, that the History of Christ 
is " a mere fable," and thnt there Pievcr was such an extraordina- 
ry person, you believe that the He.ithens, the Jews, and the Maho- 
metans, have agreed with the Christians, their sworn enemies, to 
carry on a most amazing imposture. For Pliny, Tacitus, Lucian, 
and Suetonius, heathen authors, who lived soon after Christ, make 
express mention of him : as do also Mihomet, many of the Kabbies, 
and Julian the Emperoj-, ihat powerful ;ind crafty apostate, who 
not only never denied Christ's existence, but openly acknowledged 
that Paul, Mark, Matthew, and Peter, were the authors of the gos- 
pels and epistles, which bear their name. Now is not this as ridi- 
culous as to believe, that the Pope, the Mufti, and the inquisitors, 
have laid their heads with Messrs. Voltaire, Hume, and Rousseau, 
to favour a forgery subversive of popery, mahometanism, and infi- 
delity ? 

(6) If you deny the authenticity of the four gospels, which are 
the oidy ancient histories that we have of our Saviour; and yet be- 
lieve that there was sucli a personage as Jesus Christ, whose fame 
so spread through the Roman Empire, that in less than" 330 years, 
he w.is not only reckoiicd superior to the Roman emperor, but to 
Jupiier himself; and that nevertheless not one hist.>rian, during 
all ih.U tiT.e, gave the world a /larticulur account of him : (which 
must be the case, if the four gospels arc a forgery :) Might you not 
as reasonably suppose, that if a blazing meteor appeared in our day 
and eclipsed the stars, the moon, -..nd ihe sun itself; no astronomer 
for sever.il centuries would take particular notice of so wonderful 
a phenomenon ? 

(7) If the gos]-,cl is a delusion, you believe that St. Paul, who was 
a man of sense, learning, and intrepidity, was seduced by — no body, 
to preach for near :>0 years, with astonishing zeal and matcliless 
hai'dships, an imjiosture, against the abettors of which, he just be- 
fore breathed nothing but threatenings and slaughter?. 



miracles. If wc let him alone, all men will believe on him. John 
XI. 47. — ./«(/ after Peter and John had fniblickly cured the criftfile,, 
•who used to beg at the gate of the temple ; the nilcrs, and elders, 
and scribes, and .Annas the high pi'iest, and Caiaphas, and John, 
and .Mexander, and as many as were of the kindred of the high 
priest, were gathered together at Jerusalem, saying. What shall 
we do to these men? for that indeed a not.\blf. :miraclf. has 
been done by them, is manifest to all them that dwell in Jerusa- 
lem, and we caiinct deny it. Acts iv. 5 — 16. 



(8) The instantaneous conversion of thousands wr.s \vronght by 
means of ])ublic api>eals to notorious matter of fact. Hear ilie lan- 
guage of the Apostles to the Jews: This ye ijour/teh'es XNO-w, Acts 
ii. 24. Ye know the things dene through all Judtit, Acts x. 37, 
38. The tring kkowlth these things. This thing was not donein 
a comer, Acts xxvi. 26. Now if Christianity is not founded upon 
indubitable facts, mit,ht you not as well believe, that twel\e men 
broke loose from Bedlam, brought last year thousands of deists 
over to Christianity, by saying to them, " IV know'' — whut \r\i are 
l)erfect strangers io ; that is, " IV kn-jw" — that we are a pack of 
bedlamites ? 

(9) If the gospel is forg'jd, you believe that the Corinthians, &c. 
handed down to posterity, as a sacred treasure, Epistks where St. 
Paul mentions their amazing con\ ersion from gross immoraliiies ; 
congrattilatesthem about the spiritual or niiraculous,^'-7/}-s,in which 
they abounded, 1 Cor. xii. 1. and gives them particular directions, 
how to use the gift of tongues to edification ; when yet they were 
totally unacquainted with any such things '. 

(10) If you say that the Apostles were fools, you must believe* 
Xh^X. foolish fishermen laid a scheme with so n\uch K'isdom, and 
carried it on with so minth art as to deceive multitii<!es of Greeks 
noted for their acuteness, and numl)ers of Romans famous for their 
prudence. Might you not as well believe that twelve poor, unarm- 
ed idiots, once combined to take the strongest towns in Europe, 
and accomplished their strange design by means, that strike the 
profoundest politicians with astonishmeiit ? 

(11) If you affirm that the .Xjiostles were cheats and liars, vou 
run into as great a difficulty, for you must believe that the greatest 
knaves that ever existed, contrary to their own principles and ad- 
vantage, went through the world, exposing themselves to the great- 
est hardships and severest tortures unto death, to recommend both 
by their example and precepts, the strictest piety towards God, 
and the most scrupulous hoTiesty towards man; perpetually denounc- 
ing eternal destruction to cheats and hyjiocrites, and the torments 
of a lake that burneth ivith fire and brimstone, to everv ore wht 
loveth or niaketh a lie. Would it be more absurd to believe, that 
the twelve greatest epicures in England, have for a course of \ ears, 
fulfilled a mutual agreenient of preaching night and da\ , abstinence 
and fasting througli the three kingdoms, merely to have the plea- 
sure of starving to death for their pains ? 

(12) To conclude : If the gospel (and consequently the scripture) 
is an imposture, you su];pose that some poor Cialilean fislxcrmen, 
only by means of an absurd lie, which they told without wit, and 
wrote without elegance, foiled the multitude of the Jewish and Pa- 
gan priests, who had prejudice, custom, possession, learning, ora- 
tory, wealth, laws, governors, and emjjerors on their side ; yea, 
and truth also, upon your princi])les, at least when they decried 
the gospel as a cheat. \\'ct\i\d it be more ridiculous to believe, that 
David killed Golialv, with a grain of sand, and cut oflThis head with 
a spire of grass: or that our sailors sink men of war with a puff of 
breath, while our soldiers batter down ramparts with snow-balls ? 

C) ye sons of worldly wisdom, drop your unjust prejudices ; can- 
didly weigh both sides of the question, and you will soon see, that 
in rejecting the gospel as an imposture, you disp^lay a far greater 
degree of credulity, than we do in cordially receiving it. 



TABLES OF SCRIPTURE MEASURES, WEIGHTS, AND COINS: 

WITH 

An APPENDIX, containing the Method of calculating its ME.\StJRES of SURFACE, hitherto wanting in Treatises on this Subject. 

By the Bishop of Peterborough. 



A ME.\SURE is a known quantity applied to another of the 
■.amc kind that is kss kniAvn, to make its dimensions better known, 
Uy help of numbers expressing the proportion that the known (juan- 
tily bears to the unknown. The dinu'iisions to be measured are 
three: 1 .'^fr re length, which hath but one dimension. 2 Surface, 
wnicli consists of length multiplied into breadth ; so it hath two 
dimensions, as it were interwoven ; and this is always measured 
by some scjuare surface already known, as by a square foot, or a 
sfpiare cubit, or any other square already known, by help of its 
side. Closes gener.illy uscth the square cul)it. 3 Solidity, or Capa- 
rity, which hath three dimensions multiplied into each other : 
length, breadth, and height, or dei)th. 'Ihis is measured by a 
Icnown cube. From solidity ariseth weight in all sublunary twdics : 
awCl by weight we measure the value of coins. Therefore I shall 
^r,?n wctgM? ami coins together in the fourth table.

TABLE II. Measures cf Surface. 

Moses hath described these by square Cubits. I here express 
them reduced to our square Feet. The method of this reduction is 
taught in an Appendix. I first propose three clear examples given 
by Moses: Secondly, I place six instances of greater difficulty. 
The clearest examples are, 

I. The Altar of Incense. Only tv/o sides of it, viz. its length and 
breadth are expressed by Moses; each of them is affirmed to be 
one Cubit. Yet he declares that it was four square : whence we 
collect, that it was just one square Cubit. See Exod. xxx. 2. Now 
it is demonstrated in the Appendix, that one Jewish square Cubit 
amounts in surface to three English square Feet, and about 47 
square Inches. 

II. The Table of Shew-bread. Exod. xxv. 23. It is affirmed to 
be two Cubits in length, and one in breadth. None doubt but it 
was rectangular, containing two Jewish square Cubits. These 
amount to above six English square Feet, and above a half, viz. 
94 square Inches. 

III. The Boards of the Tabernacle, each 10 Cubits in length, 
and one and an half in breadtlJ, Exod. xxvi. 16. being rectangular, 
must contain 15 square Cubits, Jeivlsh. These are proved to con- 
tam very near 50 square Feet of English measure. 

The more difficult cases reserved to the Appendix are, 

I. The Mercy -seat, whose surface is = 12 square feet and an 
half. 

II. A general method is taught of reducing any given number of 
Jewish Cubits to English square Feet. 

III. The example of the 15 square Cubits in the Boards of the 
Tabernacle is made clearer. 

IV. The Court of the Tabernacle, described, Exod. xxvii. 18. 
is found to be just the half of the Egyptian jiroura, and to contain 
1 Rood, 21 Perches, 27 square Feet, iifc. 

V. The whole jlroiira is detern)incd, and reduced to English 
Measure, 3 Roods, 2 Perches, 55 square Feet. 

VI. The suburbs, or Giebe Land, given to each city of the Le- 
vites, J\,'"u7nd. xxxv. 3, 4, 5. is shewed to be a Square, on each of 
the four sides of every city, containing a million o{ Jewish square 
Cubits, or 100 Arourie ; whicli amount in each Square to 76 Acres, 
1 Rood, 20 Perches, feO square Feet. Whence we collect, that all 
the four Squares amounted to 305 Acres, 2 Roods, 1 Perch, besides 
51 Feet square.

jin APPENDIX to the second Table of Measures of Surface de- 
scribed by Moses, shewing the Method of reducing them by Cal- 
culation to the Measures used in England,/or the benefit of those 
that understand Decimal Arithmeiick, and desire to try the Rc' 
ductions given in the Tabic, or to make further Improvements 
in this ki id of Measures. 

1. 1 SHALL begin with tl\e Reduction of the Measures 1. rhs 
of the Mercy seat, wiiich was God's throne of Grace among Mercy seat. 
the Jews. Moses in Exodus xxv. 17. affirms, that its length was 
two Cubits and an half, its breadth one Cubit and an half. The 
fractions adhering to its length and breadth make some difficulty to 
beginners in Arithmetick, which the Decimal wav doth mucli abate. 
Supposing therefore, what I have elsewhere pro\<ed, that the J( w- 
ish Cubit was in Foot measure 1.824 ; the length must be express- 
ed in Foot measure, and Decimals thereof 4.560. The breadth in 
like measure will be 2.736. \A.'herefore tlie product of thete nura • 
bers multiplied into each other gives its surface 12.47616 : in num- 
ber of its square Feet, and Decimals thereof, 12 square Feet, and 
very near half a square Foot ; if the Decimals had been .50, it had 
been just half a Foot. If we desire to express Uiose Decimals of a 
Foot in square Inches, as is usual in England, we must multiply 
.47616 by 144, the square Inches of a Foot, and the product will be 
68.56704 ; which shews that the Decimals we found amount to 68 
.square Inches, and about half an Inch more ; we need not be nicer 

2. In the Altar of Incense Moses describes the Jewish 2. a Square 
square Cubit, which must be reduced to our Foot measure ^«*'' '■tAict-d 
thus, 1 1 1 ^. The product of these numbers multiplied Zrl"' '^^"" 
will be the upper surface of this Altar, 3.326976, that is, 3 square 
Feet, and 326,976 Decimals of a square Foot, which we may ex- 
press by 47 square Indies, and a few Decimals of an Inch square 
inconsiderable. 

3. Moses's description of the Boards of the Tabernacle, 3- T/ie 
Exod. xxvi. 16. by 10 Cubits in length, and one and an half fuf-^a "^ 
in breadth, naturally leads a man to discern in each board's t'c'rnMie. 
surface 15 Jewish square Cubits; because if we conceive a line 
drawn from the end of one Cubit at the bottom of the board to tin- 
end of one Cubit at the top of the board, this must needs be lu 
v/hole square Cubits on one side of that line, and ten half square 
Cubits (^—5 whole) on the other side of that line; here therefore 
are fifteen square Cubits. The reduction of these into En^'iish 
square Feet, is performed by nmltiplying 15, viz. the number of 
Cubits given, into 3.326976, the Feet and Decimals of one square 
Cubit, and the product will be 49.90464, and that is very near to'so 
square Feet ; for those Decimals amount to above 130 square Inches- 
and little more than 13 square Inches would make it just 50 Feet' 
which abatement we need not here regard. ' 

4. Let us now go to the measure of the surface of land. But *■ The 
we will begin with the Court of the Tabernacle, the ground ^''V"' 
on which the Priests performed all the solemn public wor- i»:riJde 
ship of Israel in Moses's time. The Area of this Cown is described 

by

TABLES OF SCRIPTURE MEASURES, WEIGHTS, AND COINS. 



by Mosea^ Rxoa. xxvii. 18. hy its length 100 Cubits, and its breadth 
every where 50 C»S?;its. VVhcreforc this Area must be in Jewish 
roiMTure 5000 squure Cubits, for that is the protUict of 100 multi- 
plied into 50. To reduce thtve 5000 Jtivith Cubits into English 
s<iuare Feet, I must multiply 5000 into 3.326,976, the product is 
16,<S34.K8 Jinglith sqiiitrc Feet. . ^ 

i^ut in cases of such long numbers of Feet we use, for brevity s 
sake, and to htlp our memories, to reduce them into Perches, or 
Rods, or Acres, whicli contain known numbeis of stjuare Feet. 
A I'lrch contains 272 square Feet and one ft^urth. A Rood is = to 
10,{:90 sqvuire Feet. An Acre is =^ to 43,560 square Feet. It is 
plain that the number 16,634.88 hath not integers equal to those of 
an Acre ; but it hath enouj,'h to answer those in a Rood, and some 
overplus; therefore I must divide 16,634.S8 by 10,890, which is a 
Rood. By :,uch division, continued in the Decimal way, until I have 
a fraction of five or six places, which is exact enough, I find the 
quote to be 1.527,537, which assures me that my number 16,634.88 
hath but once entirely in it a whole Rood: but it hath moreover in 
it manv Decimal p.irts of a Rood. These therefore, I reduce to the 
Perclies contained in them, bv multiplying them into 40, which is 
the number of Perches that make up a R<iod : and cutting off six 
places from the product, which is 21.101,480; so 1 find there are 
21 Perches entire, and the figures after the Separatrix are Deci- 
mals of a Perch. These also 1 nmltiply by 272.25 which are tl;e 
square Feet and Decimals of a Perch. The product ot this last 
multiplication, after eight places cutoff from it by the Separatrix, 
because there were six places of Decimals in one of the multipliers, 
and two in the other, is 27.62,793,000. Hence I learn that there arc 
therein but 27 entire Feet, all the eight Decimal places amount to 
little al)ove half a Foot, and therefore I cast them away as incon- 
siderable in the measure of land. This method of reduction by mul- 
tiplication of Decimals I find to be easier than the common way of 
reduction by division, and therefore I propose it to be used by be- 
einncrs in this practice of surveying. So I find this court to contain 
in Kxtrlish measure 1 Rood, 21 Perches, 27 Feet, and little more 
than half a I'oot squared. Uut refiecting upon JV/osfs'.v measure by 
Cubits, and finding them to be precisely 5000 square Cubits, I ob- 
served that they were just half 10,000, which 1 hdd observed from 
n,rodo'uH's Euter/u to be the Area of the Egij/ifioi Jroura, by 
which their land was as generally measured, as our's is by Acres 
and Roods. Sec Herodot. 1. 2. c. 168. I called also to mind a passage 
ill '\/an.ttho, an Egv/ithm Priest, cited by Josc/thvs in his first book 
against yl/iion, where he affirms, that Mmutho in his history ot the 
reign, wars, and exi)ulsion of the Pastors (whom yZ/r/co/m* affirms 
to be I'hienicianfiy or Canaanifrs, and Josi/ihus vainly Ijcheved to 
be Jcw-t) wrote out of the public Records of Egij/it, that these 
Pastors made at Jbarii a very large and strong encampment, that 
encompassed 10,000 Jrouree, sufficient to contain 240,000 men, 
and long to maintain their cattle. Hence it appears, that not only 
the Egi'/>lian.i, but the r/ia:nicians or Camiamtes also, that had 
dwelt among them, and had reigned there during the time of six 
kiniis successively, used this measure of land called Jroura. Kow 
thii. was long before Moeen'a time; for the beginning of .^/?(0«iA 
or rcihiiioiix, who expelled them out oiEgiifit, was very near the 
time iii Abraham' « death, as appears by the annals of the learned 
Prim ite of Ire/tind. Wherefore I believe that 7»/osr«, who was 
skilled in all Egufuian learning, especially surveying, did of choice 
make the Courtof the Tabernacle tobe just half an Aroura, which 
was a known measure to him and his people, who had long dwelt 
in Eifu/'l, and Divine Authority directed him so to do. 
a.TUR.J'u:- 5. Because we have shewn from Hrrodotux, that an 
lion of an A- yirouru is the scjuare of lUO Jcrjinh or Egy/itiafi Cubits, 
liX^'uj ur«*!" and 100 such Cubits may in English Foot measure be 
expressed by 182.4 Englixh I-eet, it follows, that the scjuarc ot this 
number will express exactly the number of the Ejiglish square 
Feet that are contained in an Jroura. Now by multiplication of 
182 4 into itself, 1 find the product to be 33,269.76: therefiire I 
conclude that there are 33,209 square Feet entire, and 76 Deci- 
in:Us of a square Foot, in an Jroura. Now to reduce these Eiigluh 
n lui re Feet into Rootls, Perches, ;ind the remainder of siju.ire Ket, 
1 use the methotl used in the last paragraph 



first I divide them 



bv 10 890,the square Feet in a RochI ; and the cjuote I find 3.055,074, 

that is, 3 Ro*h1s, and .035,074 Decimals of a Rood. Secondly, 1 multi- 

nlv those Decimals bv 40, which is the number ot Perches in a Rood; 

,c product is 2.20J,9G0. Hence 1 conclude there are therein two 

erches, and 202,960 Decimals of a Perch. Thirdly,! multiil> these 

ist Decimals by 272.25, which are the square Feet ot a Perth. 1 he 



ply 

th 

Fe 

last Decimals by 

tiroduct is 55.25r586,000, - , , r 

Dlaces of Decimals amount to little above one-fcurth of a squaie 



that Is, 55 entire s«juare Feet: the eight 



Foot, therefoi-t" I reject them as inconsiderable in measure ,of land- 
By all these reductions it is found, that an Jroura is in Eiig/is/i mea- 
sure three Roods, two Perches, 55 and one-fourth square Feet. 
Hence it follows also, that it is not well translated by Jitgfrum, i'or it 
is much larger ; nor is it well in Englinh called an Acre, for it is con- 
siderably less. To this place I refer the use of the lesser sort oi 
ff;(5««'K>,-, which yet is most convenient for the use of the Egu/ia'ana, 
and of the Jews, to measure out private men's inheritances by a line 
which was 80 Cubits long. For the length of this line will nieasui'c 
one side of an Jroura, if the other side be 125 Culiits long, which is 
the length of this line, aiid its half, and 5 Cubits above half of it, which 
' they might easily mark on it by a knot or a ring. And by these means 
I they might easily lay any number of Jroura: together, all of them 
j rectangular and parallel to each other. Such lines I suppose for mea- 
1 sure of inheritances are intimated, Es. Ixxviii. 55. and xvi. 6, is'c. 
6. I shall conclude with an examjile amounting after re- * '.'"*'<; 
duction to a number of English Acres, which measure we utbsT 
have not yet reached to. This I take from A''umb. xxxv. verses 3, 
4, 5. There JSToses describes what measure of land the Ecvitea 
were to be allowed for their cattle, their goods, and all their beasts, 
on the north, east, south, and west sides of each of their cities. So 
that the city was tobe in the midst of the land belonging to it, This 
land in our translation is called suburbs, because of its nearness to 
all their ciiies. But wc must not thence imagine that it means 
hoiRes and streets adjoining to their ciiies, in which sense we some- 
times use the word suburbs. For Moses plainly tells us they were 
places for their several sorts of cattle to feed in, such as might also 
be orchards or gardens for fruit, or perhaps for a little corn, com- 
prehended ill the word, their Goods. These fields he limits by 1000 
Cubits, which was just a quarter of an eastern mile, but amounts 
in mere length to 608 yards, E.nglish measure, and therefore ex- 
ceeds a quarter of an English mile by 168 yards in length. Put it 
is certain that cattle cannot feed upon mere length, but this must 
signify the side of some surface of land bounded tiiereby, and we 
must have two sides of that surface given, before we can find the 
area, or surface contained. Therefore Moses, verse 5. tells us, that 
on each side of each city they nmst measure 2000 Cubits, ^^l^ich 
will deterniine no surface unless we understand it to nuan the two 
sides of a square, bounded on every side by 1000 Cubits; these two 
sides multiplied into each other will produce a square that contains 
just a million of square Cubits, and tlrat is a known and exact mea- 
sure of just 100 Jroura : and this shews that the 2000 Cubits men- 
tioned verse 5. are the two sides of that square, whereof the lOCO, 
mentioned verse 4. is one, and may be called the root of the stjuare. 
This shews the agreement of the two diflFcient numbers. The re- 
duction of this million of square Cubits will be ]-ei-lormed iiy the 
same method that I have used before. Therefore^ first, 1 express 
1000Ji7vish Cubits l)y 1822 English Feet, without any Separatrix, 
according to the principles owned in Decimnl Arithmetick; and 
the square of that number will be 3,326,976, without a Separatrix. 
Secondly, I divide this number by 43,560, which arc the s(juare Feet 
of an Acre, and find the quote to be 76.276,859, which signify 76 
entire Acres, and .376,859 Decimals of an Acre. Tiiirdly, to find 
what Roods are contained in these Decimals, I multiply them by 
four, the number of Roods in an Acre, and find the quote to be 
1.507,436, which proves that there is but one Rood in them, and 
the six figures cut off by the Separatrix (because there were six 
Decimals in one of the multipliers) arc all Decimals of a Rood. 
Fourthly, therefore to find what Perches are in these last Decimal.s, 
I multipl) tlum by 40, which is the number of Perches contained 
in a Rood. The product is 20.297,440; hereby I find there arc 20 
entire Perches, besides the Decimals of a Perch jjlaced after the 
Separatrix. Fifthly, to find wh;it square Feet are in those last De- 
cimals, I multiply them by 272.^5, which are the squai e Feet and 
Decimals in a Perch ; the'product is 80.97,804, which is fio square 
Feet ; and all the Decimals not amounting to a s(|uare IVk.i, 1 reject 
as inconsiderable in measure of land. Thus we have found that this 
and every other square on each side of leveiy Eeviiical City was 
prescriljed to be 76 Acres, 1 Rood, 20 Perches, 80 square Feet in 
our measure, but was just a million of square Cubiti, in their mea- 
sure. To add the four squares belonging to one Eeviiical Cifii to- 
gether, the best way will be to take the first quote that we found 
in Acre measure, viz. 76.376,859, and we inusl multiph it by fi)ur, 
and we shall find, l)y the method I have used, all the four squares 
together to amount to 305 Acres, 2 Roods, 1 Perrli, we need net 
take notice of any lesser quantities in this case. V\'e may also by 
this method find the sum of the Acres belonging to all the 48 cities 
of the Levites, and many other inijirovements in this kind of mea- 
Huring surfaces. But 1 leave them to the indiutry of otiicrs.

TO THE READER. 



1. A HAT this Concordance doth not pretend to comprehend more than 
any other larger ones, but to contain the principal substance of them all in 
little room. 

2. By observing one or more principal words of any remembered text, and 
\\hat are the three first letters of them, and searching under answerable words 
in the Concordance, the sentence will be found. 

3. The original words, whether Nouns or Verbs, are marked in. CAPITAL 
letters, and those derived from them come after in Italics. 

4. Where words are found in many places, the plural is distinguished from 
the singular, and the parts of verbs ending in — ed, — est, — eth, from their origi- 
nal. But when the examples are few, no such distinction is made, but may 
be easily observed. 

5. The Concordant words, except the first, are marked by the first letter a. 
b. c. ^c. and the mark — stands for several words above marked in Italics ; 
divine persons are noted by answerable capitals. 

6. Even other words, especially names of divine persons, are often marked 
by one or more of their first letters, that the sense of the line might be more 
complete;

The PSALMS of DAVID in Metre. 



PSALM I. 

1 TTHAT man hath perfect blessedness, 

who walketh not astray 
In counsel of ungodly men, 

nor stands in sinners' way, 
Nor sitteth in the scorner's chair: 

2 But placed! his delight 
Upon God's law, and meditates 

on his law day and night. 

3 He shall be like a tree that grows 

near planted by a river. 
Which in his season yields his fruit, 

and his leaf fadeth never : 
And all he do'th shall prosper well. 
•4- ITie v/icked are not so ; 
But like they are unto the chaff, 

which wind drives to and fro. 

5 In judgment therefore shall not stand 

such as ungodly are ; 
Nor in th' assembly of the just 
shall wicked men appear. 

6 For why ? the way of godly men 

unto the Lord is know n : 
Whereas the way of wicked men 
shall quite be overthrown. 
PSALM II. 

1 YV^H Y rage the Heathen ? and vain things 

■why do the people mind? 

2 Kings of the earth do set themselves, 

and princes are combin'd, 
To plot against the Lord, and his 
Ajiotnti d, saying thus, 

3 Let us asunder break their bands, 

and cast their cords from us. 

4 He that in Heaven sits, shall laugh ; 

the Lord shall scorn them all : 

5 Then shall he speak to them in wrath, 

in rage he vex them shaU. 

6 Yet, notwithstanding, I have him 

to be my king appointed ; 
And over Sion, my holy hill, 
I have him King anointed. 

7 The sure decree 1 will declare ; 

The Lord hath said to me, 
Thou art mine only Son ; this day 
I have begotten thee. 

8 Ask of me, and for heritage 

the Heathen I'll make thine ; 
And for possession I to thee 
will give earth's utmost line. 

9 Thou shalt, as with a weighty rod 

of iron, break them all ; 
And, as a potter's sherd, thou shalt 
them dash in pieces small. 

3 Now, therefore, kings, be wise ; be taught, 

ye judges of the earth ; 

11 Serve God in fear, and see that ye 

join trembUng w-ith your mirth. 

12 Kiss ye the Son, lest in his ire 

ye perish from the way. 
If once his wrath begin to bum. 
Bless'd all that on him stay. 
PSALM III. 

1 r\ LORD, how are my foes increas'd? 

against me many rise. 

2 Many say of my soul, For him 

In God no succour lies. 
S Yet thou my shield and glory art, 
th' uplifter of mine head. 

4 I cry'd, and from his holy hill 

The Lord me answer made. 

5 I laid me down and slept, I wak'd; 

for God sustained me. 

6 I wiU not fear though thousands ten 

set round against me be. 



7 Arise, O Lord; save me, my God; 

for thou my foes hast stroke 
AU on the cheek-bone, and the teeth 
of wicked men hast broke. 

8 Salvation doth appertain 

unto the Lord alone : 
Thy blessing, Lord, for evermore 
thy people is upon. 

PSALM IV. 

1 r^I\'E ear unto me when I call, 

God of my righteousness : 
Have mercy, hear my pray'r ; thou hast 
enlarg'd me in distress. 

2 O ye the sons of men ! how long 

wiU ye love vanities ? 
How long my glory turn to shame, 

and vnli ye follow lies ? 
S But know, that for himself tlie Lord 

the godly man doth choose : 
The Lord, when I on him do call, 

to hear will not refuse. 

4 Fear, and sin not ; talk with your heart 

on bed, and silent be. 

5 Off'rings present of righteousness, 

and in the Lord trust }"e. 

6 O who wUl shew us any good ? 

is that which many say : 
But of thy countenance the light, 

Lord, lift on us alway. 
T Upon my heart bestow 'd by thee 

more gladness I have found 
Than they, ev'n then when corn and wine 

did most with them abound. 
8 I wUl both lay me down in peace, 

and quiet sleep wiU. take : 
Because thou only me to dwell 

in safety. Lord, dost make. 

PS.ALM V. 

1 rr|.IVE ear unto my words, O Lord, 

my meditation weigh. 

2 Hear my loud cry, my King, my God, 

for I to thee will pray. 

3 Lord, thou shalt early hear my voice : 

I early will direct 
My pray'r to thee ; and, looking up, 
an answer wiU expect. 

4 For thou art not a God that doth 

in wickedness dehght ; 
Neither shall evil dwell with thee : 

5 Nor fools stand in th)- sight. 
All that ill-doers are, thou hat'st ; 

6 Cutt'st off that liars be : 
The blood)' and deceitful man 

abhorred is by thee. 

7 But I into thy house wiU come 

in thine abundant grace ; 
And I will worship in thy fear 
toward thv holy place. 

8 Bec:mse of those mine enemies. 

Lord, in th- righteousness 
Do th .u me le:id ; do tliou thy way 
Make straight bef;)re my face. 

9 For in tlieir mouth there is no truth, 

their inward p.irt is ill; 
Their throat's an open sepulchre, 
their tongue dcth flatter still. 

10 O God, destroy them ; let them be 

by their own counsel quell'd: 

Them for their man)- sins cast out, 

for they 'gainst thee rebell'd. 

11 But let all joy that trust in thee, 

and still make shouting noise ; 
For them thou sav'st; let all that love 
tliy name^ in thee rejoice. 



12 For, Lord, unto the righteous man 
thou wilt thy blessing )-ie]d : 
With favour thou wilt compass him 
about, as with a shield. 

PS-ALM \J. 

1 J^ORD, in thy wrath rebuke me not; 

nor in th)' hot rage chasten me. 

2 Lord, pit)- me, for I am weak: 

heal m.e, for my bones vexed be. 

3 My soul is also vexed sore ; 

but. Lord, how long sta)" -svilt thou make ? 

4 Return, O Lord, my soul set free : 

save me for thy mercv's sake. 

5 Because those that deceased are 

of thee shall no remembrance have ; 
And who is he that wiU to thee 
give praises l)-ing in the gi-ave ? 

6 I with my groaning v^eary am, 

1 also all the night my bed 
Have caused for to swim ; and I 

with tears my couch have watered. 

7 Mine eye, consimi'd with grief, grows old, 

beca'use of all mine enemies. 
S Hence fi-om me, wicked workers all; 
for God hath heard m)" weeping cries. 

9 God hath my supplication heard, 

my pray'r recei\ed graciously. 

10 Sham'd and sore vex'd be all my foes, 

sham'd and back turned suddenlv. 
Another of the same. 

1 TN thy great indignation, 

O Lord, rebuke me not; 
Nor on me lay thv chastening hand 
in thy displeasure hot. 

2 Lord, I am weak, therefore on me 

have mercy and me spare ; 
Heal me, O Lord, because thou know'st 
my bones much vexed are. 

3 My soul is vexed sore : but. Lord, 

how long stay wilt thou make ? 

4 Return, Lord, free my soul, and save 

me for thy mercy's sake. 

5 Because of thee in death there shall 

no more remembrance be : 
Of those that in the gra^e do lie 
who shall give thanks to thee ? 

6 I with my groaning weary am, 

and all the night my bed 
I caused for to swim ; with tears 
m)" couch I watered. 

7 By reason of my vexing grief, 

mine eye consumed is ; 
It waxeth old, because of all 
that be mine enemies. 

8 But now, depart from me, aU )-e 

that work iniquity: 
For wh)- ? the Lord hath heard my voice, 
when I did mourn and cry. 

9 Unto my supplication 

the Lord did hearing give : 
\A'hen I to him my prater make, 
the Lord will it receive. 

10 Let aU Ije sham'd and troubled sore 

that en'nsies are to mc ; 
Let them turn back, and suddenly 
ashamed let them be. 

PSALM vn. 

1 Q LORD my God, in thee do I 

my confidence repose: 
Save and deliver me from all 
my persecuting foes. 

2 Lest that the encm)' my soul 

should, like a lion, tear. 
In pieces rending it, while there 
is no deliverer. 

A 3 Loi^ 



PSALMS VIII, IX, X, XI. 



3 O Lord my God, if it be so 

thiit I committed this: 
If it be so thnt in my hands 
iniquity there is: 

4 If I rew;irded il! to him 

tluit was at peace with me ; 
(Yen, ev'n tiie mun thdt without cause 
my foe w.ts I did free;) 

5 Tiieii let the f-.c pursue and take 

my soul, and my life tlnust 
D )\vi) to tiie earth, and let him lay 
mine honour in tlic dust. 

6 Rise in thy wrath, Lord, raise thyself, 

for my foes raging be: 
And to the judi^ment which thou hast 
commandeil, wake for me. 

7 So shall th' assembly of thy folk 

about enc^nipass thee: 
Thou, therefore, for their sakes, return 
unto thy place on high. 

8 The Lord he shall the people judge : 

my judge, Jeliovah be, 
After my righteousness, and mine 
integrity in mc. 

9 O let the wicked's malice end; 

but sts.blish stedfastly 
The righteous; for the righteous God 
the hearts and reins doth try. 

10 In God, who saves th' upright in heart, 

is my defence and stay. 

11 God just men judgeth, God is wroth 

with ill men every day. 

12 If he do not return again, 

then he his sword will whet; 
His bow he hath already bent, 
and hath it ready set : 

13 He also hath for him prepar'd 

the instruments of death ; 
Against the persecutors he 
his shafts ordained hath. 

14 Behold, he with iniquity 

doth travail, as in birth; 
A mischic f he conceived hath, 
and fils.ehood shall bring forth. 

15 He m.ide a pit, and digg'd it deep, 

another there to take : 
But he is fall'n into the ditch 
which he himself did make. 

16 Upon his own head his mischief 

shall be returned home; 
His vi'lent dealing also down 
on his own pite shall come. 

17 According to his righteousness 

the Lord 1 11 magnify ; 
And will sing praise unto the name 
of God that is most high. 

PSALM vin. 

1 "P-IOW excellent in all the earth. 

Lord, our Lord, is thy name! 
Who hast thy glory far advanc'd 
above the stirry frame. 

2 From i:ifintsand fi(m sucklings' mouth

For thy foes' cause, that so thou might'st

3 When I look up unto the heav'ns,

PSALM IX. 

1 J^ORD, thee I'll praise with all my heart, 

thy wonders all jirociaini. 

2 In thee, most High, I'll greatly joy, 

and sing unto thy nanie. 

3 When back my foes were turn'd, 'dieyfell, 

and pcrish'd at thy sight: 

4 For thou maintiin'dst my right and cause: 

on throne satt'st, judging right. 

5 The Heathen thou rebuked hast, 

the wicked overthrown ; 
Thou h-.ist put out their names, that they 
may never more be known. 

6 O en'my ! now destructions have 

an end ]'erpetual: 
Thou cities raz'd, perish'd Avith them 
is their memorial. 

7 God shall endure for ay ; he doth 

for judgment set his throne : 

8 In righteousness to judge the world, , 

justice to give each one. . / 

9 God also will a refuge be < 

for those that are oppress'd ; 
A refuge will he be in times 

of trouble, to distress'd. \ 

10 And the)- that know thy name, in th'ie 

their confidence will place: J 

For tliou hast not forsaken them 

that truly seek thy face. 
110 sing ye praises to the Lord 

that dwells in Sion hill. 
And all the nations among 

his deeds record ye still. 

12 When he inquireth after blood, 

he then rememb'reth them ; 
He humble fclk he not forgets 
that call upon his name. 

13 Lord, pit} me; behold the grief 

which I from foes sustain ; 
E'vn thou, who from the gates of death 
dost raise me up again ; 

14 That I, in Sion's daughters' gates 

may all thy praise advance : 
And that I may rejoice always 
in thy deliverance. 

15 The Heathen are sunk in the pit 

which they themselves prepar'd: 
And in the net which they have hid 
their own feet fast are snai 'd. 

16 The I^ord is by the judgment known 

which he himself hath wrought: 
Tlie sinners' hands do make the snares 

wherewith tlieinselves are caught. 
1" They, who are wicked, into hell 

each one shall turned he ; 
And all the nations that forget 

to seek the Lord mrst high. 

18 For they th it needy are, shall not 

forgotten be a I way ; 
The expectation of the poor 
shall not be lost for ay. 

19 Arise, L<;rd, let not man prevail; 

judge Heathen in thy siglit. 

20 That they ma) knew themselves but men, 

the nations. Lord, affright. 
PSALM X. 
1 WHEREFOUK is it, that thou, O Lord, 
W dost stai>d from us afar? 
And wherefore Uidcst thou thyself 
when times 80 troublous are I 



2 The wicked in his loftiness 

doth ptrvecute the poor: 
In these devices the) have fi-am'd 
Let them be t.iken sure. 

3 The wiclied of his heart's desire 

doth talk with boa; ting great; 

He b'esseth lain tl;ac's covetous, 

whom \et the Lord doth hate. 

4 The wicked, through his jjride of face, 

on Gcd he doth not ca!l ; 
And in the counsels of his heart 
tho Lord is not at all. 

5 His wa\s they always grievous are, 

th)' judgments from ids sight 
Remoxed are: at all his foes 
he puffeth w ith despite. 

6 Within his heart he thus hatli said, 

1 shall not mc\ed be; 
And in adversity at all 
sh;dl e\ cr come to me. 

7 His nnuth with cursing, fraud, deceit| 

it liU'd > buiidantly ; 
And undernci.ih his tongue there is 
mischief and vanity. 

8 He c'osel) sits in villages; 

he sla)s the innocent: 
Against the poor tliat pass him by 
his cruel eyes ;.re bent. > 

9 He, lion like, lurks in his den; 

he w.iits the ])oor to take: 
And when he draws him in his net, 
his ])rey he doth him make. 

10 Himself he humbleth \ cry low, 

he croucheth down withal. 
That so a multitude of poor 
may b)' his strong ones fall. 

11 He thus h.ith said w ithin his heart, 

the Lord hath quite forgot ; 
He hides his countenance, and he 
forever sees it not. 

12 O Lord, do thou arise ; O God, 

lift u]) thine hand on high ; 
Put not the meek afflicted ones 
out of thy memory. 

13 Why is it that the wicked man 

thus d( th the Lord despise? 
Because that God will it require 
he in his heart denies. 

14 Thou hast il seen ; for tlieir mischief 

and spite thf.u wilt repay; 
The poor commits himself to thee; 
thou art the orphan's stay. 

15 The arm break of the wicked man, 

and of the evil one ; 
Do thou seek out his wickedness, 
until then fimlesi n^ ne, 

16 The Lord is king through ages all, 

ev'n to eternity ; 
The Heathen jjcople from his land 
arc perish d utterly. 

17 O Lord, of those that humble are 

thou ihe desire didst hear; 
Thou wilt prepare thcii- heart, and thou 
to hear wilt hend thine ear. 

18 To judge the fithcrkss, and those 

that are oppressed sore; 
That man, that is but sprung of earth, 
may them oppress no more. 

PSALM XL 

1 T IN the Lord do put my tinist ; 

How is it then that ye 
Say to my soul, Flee, as a bird, 
unto your mountain high ? 

2 For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, 

their shafts on string they fit, 
That those who upright are in heart 
they privily may hit.

PSALMS XII, XIII, XIV, XV, XVI, XVII, XVIII. 



S If the foundations be destroy'd, 
what hath the rightC' us done ? 

4 God in hiy holy temple is, 

in heaven is his throne: 
His eyes do see, his e^■eUds try 

5 Men's sons. The just he proves; 
But his soul hates the v.icked man, 

and him that vi'lence loves. 
6^ Snares, fire and brimstone, furious storms, 
on smners he shall rain ; 
Tliis, as the portion of their cup, 
doth unto them pertain. 

7 Because the Lord most righteous doth 

in righteousness delight ; 
And with a pleasant countenance 
beholdeth the upright. 

PSiVLM XII. 

1 TIJELP, Lord, because the godly man 

doth daily fade away, 
And from among the sons of men 
the faithful do decay. 

2 Unto his neighbour ev'ry one 

doth utter vanity : 
They with a double heart do speak, 
and lips of flattery. 

3 God shall cut off all flatt'ring Ups, 

tongues that speak proudly thus, 

4 Well with our tongue prevail, our lips 

ai'e ours: who's Lord o'er us? 

5 For poor < ppress'd, and for the sighs 

of needy, rise will I, 
Saith God, and him in safety set 
from such as him defy. 

6 The words of God are words most pure ; 

they be Uke silver try'd 
In earthen furnace, seven times 
that hath been purifi'd. 
T Lord thou shalt them preserve and keep 
forever from this race. 

8 On each side walk the wicked, when 

vile men are high in place. 

PSALM xin. 

1 "tTOW long wilt thou forget me, Lord? 

shall it forever be? 
O how long shall it be, that thou 
wilt hide thy face from me ? 

2 How long take counsel in my soul, 

still sad in heart, shall I ? 
How long exalted over me 
shall be mine enemy? 
S O Lord my God, consider well, 
and answer to me make ; 
Mine eyes enlighten, lest the sleep 
of death me overtake: 
•4 Lest that mine enemy should say. 
Against him I prevail'd ; 
And those that trouble me rejoice, 
when I am mov'd and tail'd. 

5 But I have all my confidence 

thy mercy set up'^n ; 
My heart within me shaU. rejo ice 
in thy salvation. 

6 I will unto the Lord my God 

sing praises cheerfully, 
Because he hath liis bounty shewn 
to me abundantl)'. 

PSALM XIV. 

1 f HAT there is not a God, the fool 

doth in his heart conclude : 
They are coniij.t, their works are vile ; 
not one of them do'ch good. 

2 Upon men's sons the Lord from heav'n 

did cast his eyes abroad. 
To see if my understicd, 
and did seek after God. 

3 They altrgether filthy are, 

they -ill :;side are gone ; 
And there is aone that doeth good, 
yea, sure there is not one. 



4 These workers of iniquity 

do they not know at all. 
That they my people eat as bread, 
and on God do not call? 

5 There fear'd they much ; for God is with 

the whole race of the just. 

6 You shame the counsel of the poor, 

because God is his trust. 

7 Let Isr'el's help from Sion come ; 

when back the Lord shall bring 
His captives, Jacob shall rejoice, 
and Israel shall sing. 

PSALM XV. 

1 YiriTHIN thy tabernacle, Lord, 

Who shaU abide with thee ? 
And in thy high and holy hill 
who shall a dweller be ? 

2 The man that walketh uprightly, 

and worketh righteousness. 
And as he thinketh in his heart, 
so doth he truth express. 

3 \\'Tio doth not slander with his tongue, 

Nor to his friends do'th hurt ; 
Nor yet against his neighbour doth 
take up an ill report. 

4 In whose eyes vile men are despis'd ; 

but those that God do fear 
He honoureth ; and changeth not, 
though to his hurt he sv/ear. 

5 His coin puts not to usury, 

nor take reward will he 
Against the guiltless. \Mio do'th thus 
shall never moved be. 

PSALM XVI. 

1 T ORD, keep me ; for I trust in thee. 

2 To God thus was my speech. 
Thou art m\^ Lord, and unto thee 

my goodness doth not reach : 

3 To saints on earth, to th' excellent, 

where my delight's all plac'd. 

4 Their sorrows shall be multiply'd 

To other gods that haste : 
Of their drink-offerings of blood 

I will no off'ring make ; 
Yea, neither I their very names 

up in my lips will take. 

5 God is of mine inheritance 

and cup the portion ; 
The Lot that fallen is to me 
thou dost maintain alone. 

6 Unto me happily the lines 

in pleasant places fell ; 
Yea, the inheritance I got 
in beauty doth excel. 

7 I bless the Lord, because he doth 

by counsel me conduct ; 
And in the seasons of the night 
my reins do me instruct. 

8 Before me still the Lord I set: 

sith it is so that he 
Doth ever stand at my right hand, 
I shall not moved l)e. 

9 Because of this my heart is glad, 

and joy shall be exprest 
Ev'n by my glory; and my flesh 
in confidence shall rest. 

10 Because my soul in grave to dwell 

shall not be left by thee ; 
Nor wilt thou give thine holy One 
corruption to see. 

11 Thou wi't m.e shew the path of life; 

of joys there is full store 
Before thy face ; at thy right hand 
arc pleasures evermore. 
PSALM XVIL 
1 T ORD, hear the right, attend my cry, 
-*-' unto my pray'r give heed, 
I'hat doth not in h}i)r.crisy 
from feigned lips proceed. 



2 And from before thy presence forth 

my sentence do thou send : 
Towards these things that equal are 
do thou thine eyes intend. 

3 Thou prov'dst mine heart, thou visit'dstme 

by night, thou didst me try, 
Yet nothing found'st; for that my mouth 
shaU not sin, purpos'd I. 

4 As for men's works, I by the word 

that from th}- lips doth flow, 
Did me preserve out of the paths 
wherein destroyers go. 

5 Hold up my goings. Lord, me g-uidc 

in those thy paths divine, 
So that my footsteps may not shde 
out of those ways of thine. 

6 I called have en thee, O God, 

because thou wilt me hear : 
That thou may'st hearken to my speech, 
to me incline thine ear. 

7 Th}' wondrous loving-kindness shew, 

thou that, b}- th}- right hand, 
Sav'st them that trust in thee fi-om those 
that up against them stand. 

I As th' apple of the eye me keep ; 

in thy wings shade me close 

9 From lewd oppressors, compassing 

me round, as deadly foes. 

10 In their own fat they are inclos'd; 

their mouth speaks loftily. 

II Our steps they compass'd; and to ground 

down bowing set their eye. 

12 He like unto a hon is 

that's greedy of his pre}-, 
Or lion young, which, lurking, doth 
in secret places stay. 

13 Arise, and disappoint my foe, 

and cast him down, O Lord : 
My soul save from the wicked man, 
the man which is thy sword. 

14 From men, which are thj- hand, Lord, 

from worldl}- men me save. 
Which only in this present life 

their part and portion have : 
Whose belly with th} treasure hid 

thou fill'st : They children have 
In plenty ; of their goods the rest 

they to their children leave. 

15 But as for me, I thine own face 

in righteousness will see ; 
And with th}- likeness, when I wake, 
I satisfy 'd shall be. 

PSALM xxm. 

1 'pHEE will I love, O Lord, my strength. 

2 My fortress is the Lord, 
My rock, and he tliat doth to me 

deliverance afford : 
My God, my strength, whom I will timst, 

a buckler unto me, 
The horn of my salvation, 

and my high tow'r is he. 

3 Upon the Lord, who worthy is 

of praises, will I cry ; 
And then shall I preserved be 
safe from mine enemy. 

4 Floods of ill men affrighted me, 

death's pangs about me went; 

5 Hell's sorrows me environed ; 

death's snares did me prevent. 

6 In my distress I call'd on God, 

cry to my Ciod did I : 
He from his temple heard my voice, 
to his ears came my cry. 

7 Tir earth, as affriglited, then did shake, 

trembling upon it seiz'd: 
The hills' foiaidalions moved were, 
because he was displcas'd. 

8 Up 



8 Up from his nostrils came a smoke, 

and from his mouth there came 
Devouring fire, and coals by it 
were turned into flame. 

9 He also bowed dnwn the heav'ns, 

and thence he did descend ; 
And thickest clouds of darkness did 
under his feet attend. 

10 And he upon a chei ub rode, 

and tlieieon he did fly ; 
Ye:i, on tlie swift wings of the wind 
his flight was from on high. 

11 He darkness made his secret place: 

about him, for his tent, 
Dark waters were, and tliickest clouds 
of th' airy firmament. 

12 And at tlie brightness of that light, 

which was before his eye, 
His thick clouds pass'd away, hailstones 
and coals of fire did fly. 

13 The Lord God also in the heav'ns 

did tliunder in his ire i 
And there the highest gsve his voice, 
Iiuilstones and coals of fire. 

14 Yea, he his arrows sent abroad, 

and them he scattered ; 
His lightnings also he shot out, 
and them discomfited. 

15 The waters' channels then -were seen, 

the worlds foundations vast 
At thy rebuke discovcr'd were, 
and at thy nostril's blast. 

16 And from above the Lord sent do\vn, 

and took me from below ; 
Frcm many waters he me drew, 
whicii W(>uld me overflow. 

17 He me rclicv'd from my strong foes, 

and such as did me hate ; 
Because he saw that they for me 
too strong were, and too great. 

18 Tliey me prevented in tlic day 

of my calamity ; 
But even then the Lord himself 
a stay was unto n>e. 

19 He to a place where liberty 

and room was, hath me brought ; 
Because he took delight in me, 
he my deliv'rance wrought. 

20 According to my lighteoutness 

he did me recompense. 
He me repaid according to 
my hands' pure innocence. 

21 For I God's ways kept, from my God 

did not turn wickedly. 

22 His judgments were before me, I 

his laws put not from me. 

23 Sincere before him was my heart, 

with him upright was I: 
And watchfiilly I kept myself 
from mire iniquity. 

24 Af'er my righteousness the Lord 

hiuh recompensed me, 
After the cleanness of my hands 
ap]>(.aring in his eye. 

25 Thou fjracious to the gracious art, 

to upright men uprij^ht; 

26 Pure to tlie pure, froward thou kyth'st 

unto the froward wight. 

27 For thou wilt the afflicted save 

in grief that low do lie: 
But wilt bring down the countenance 
of them whose l^nks are high. 

28 The Lord will light my candle so, 

that it shall fhine full bright: 
Tlie Lf>rd 'ny God will also mrikc 
ni) darkic-s to be light.

31 Who but the Lord is God? but he 

who is a rock and stay ? 

32 'Tis God that girdeth me with strengtli, 

and perfect makes my way. 

33 He made my feet swift as the liind's, 

set me on my high places. 

34 Mine hands to war he taught, mine arms 

brake bows of steel in pieces. 

35 The shield of thy salvation 

Thou didst on me bestow : 
Thy right hand held me up, and great 
thv kindness made me grow. 

36 And in my way my steps thou hast 

enlarged under me. 
That I go s ifely, and my feet 
ai c kept from sliding free. 

37 Mine en'mies I pursued have, 

and did them overtake ; 
Nor did I turn again till I 
an end of them did make. 

38 I wounded them, they could not rise ; 

they at my feet did fall.

40 And thou hast giv'n to m^ the necks 

of all mine enemies; - '"" 

That I might them destroy jiod slay, 
who did against me rise. \ 

41 They cried out, but there wajjnone 

that would or could them sale ; 
Yea, they did cry unto the Lorr^ 
but he no answer gave. \ 

42 Then did I beat them small as'dust 

before the wind that flies; 
And I did cast them out like dirt 
upon the street that lies. 

43 Thou mad'st me free from people's strife, 

and Heathen's head to be : 
A people whom I have not known 
shall service do to me. 

44 At hearing they shall me obey, 

to mc the;,- shall submit. 

45 Strangers for fear shall fade away, 

who in close places sit. 

46 God lives, bless'd be my rock ; the God 

of my health praised be. 

47 God doth avenge me, and subdues 

the people under me. 

48 He saves me from mine enemies; 

yea, thou liast lifted me 
Above my foes ; and from the man 
of vi'lence set me free. 

49 Tlierefore to thee will I give thanks, 

the Heathen folk among; 
And to thy name, O Lord, I will 
sing praises in a song. 

50 He great deliv'rance give^ his king; 

he mercy doth extend 
To David, his anointed one, 
and his seed without end. 
PSALM XIX. 

1 'T'HE heav'n's God's gl^ry do declare ;

2 Day utters speech to day, and night 

to night doth knowledge teach. 

3 There is no speech nor tongue to which 

their voice doth not extend : 

4 Their line is gone throiiirh all the earth, 

their woitls lo the world's end. 
In them lie set the sun a tent : 

5 Who, bridegroom-like, forth goes 



From's chamber, as a strong man doth 
to run liis race rejoice. 

6 From heav'n's end is his going forth, 

circling to th' end again : 
And there is nothing from his heat 
that hidden doth remain. 

7 God's law is perfect, and converts ; 

the soul in sin that lies: 
God's tcstinicmy is most sure, 
and makes the simple wise. 

8 The statutes of the Lord are right, 

and do rejoice the heart: 
The Lord's command is pure, and doth 
light to the eyes impart. 

9 Unspotted is the fear of God, 

and doth endure forever : 
The judgments of the Lord are true 
and righteous altogether. 

10 They more than gold, yea, much fine gold, 

to be desired are : 
Than honey, honey from the comb 
that droppeth, sweeter far. 

11 Moreover, they thy servant warn 

how he his life should frame ; 
A great reward provided is 
for them that keep the same. 

12 \Mio can his errors understand? 

cleanse thou me within 

13 From secret faults. Thy servant keep 

from all presumptuous sin : 
And do not suffer them to have 

dominion over me: 
Then righteous and innocent,

and none to help is found. 

12 Bulls many compa(s me, ftrong bulls 

of Baflian me fu rround. 

13 Their mouths they open'd wide on me, 

upon me gape did they, 
Like to a lion ravining, 

and roaring for his prey. 
14. Like water I'm pour'd out, my bones 

all out of joint do part : 
Amidft my bowels, as the wax 

fo melted is my heart. 

15 My ftrcngth is like a potfherd dry'd : 

my tongue it cleaveth faft 
Unto my jaws ; and to the duft 
of o'eath thou brought me haft. 

16 For dogs have compafs'd m.e about : 

the wicked, tliat did meet 
In their aifembly, me inclos'd ; 
they pierc'd rny hands and feet. 

1 7 I ail my bones may tell ; they do 

upon me look and ftare. 

1 8 Upon my vefture lots they caft, 

and clothes among them (hare. 

19 But be not far, O Lord, my ftrength ; 

hafte to give help to me. 

20 From fword my (oul, from pow'r of dogs, 

my darling fet thou free. 

21 Out of the roaring lion's mouth 

do thou me fhield and fave ; 
For from the horns of unicorns 
an ear to m.e thou gave. 

22 I will (liew forth thy name unto 

thofe that my brethren are; 
Aniidit the congregation 
thy praife I will declare. 

23 Praile ye the Lord, who do him fear; 

him glorify, all ye 
The feed ci Tacob ; fear him all 
that Ifr'el's cliildren be. 

24 For he defpis'd not, nor abhorr'd 

th' afn'cted's lu'fery ; 
Nor from him hid his face, but heard 
v^ hen lie-to him did cry. 

25 Within the congregation great 

my pra'fe (hall be of thee ; 
My vows before them that him fear 
(hall be perform'd by me. 

26 The meek (hall eat, and fttall be fiU'd ;

Unto the Lord that do him feek : 
your heart fliall ever live. 

27 All ends of th' earth remember (hall 

and turn the Lord unto ; 

All kindreds of the nations 

to him fhall homage do : 

28 Becaufe the kingdom to the Lord 

doth appertain as his; 
Likew fe among the nat.ons 
the governor he is. 

29 Earth's fat ones eat, and worftiip fhall : 

all who to duft defcend 
Shall bow to h^n ; none of them can 
liis foul from death defend. 

30 A feed fhall fervice do to him ; 

unto the Lord it fliall 
Be for a generation 
reckon'd in ages all.

Unto a people yet unborn,

The world that is inhabited, 
and all that there remains.

he on the feas did lay ; 

And he hath it eftabliihed

Or who within his holy place 
fliall have a firm abode ? 

4 Whofe hands are clean, wltofe heart is pure, 

and unto vanity 
Who hath not lifted up his foul, 
nor fworn deceitfully. 

5 He from th' Eternal fhall receive 

the bleffing him upon, 
And righteoufnefs, ev'n from the God 
of his falvation. 

6 This is the generation 

that after him enquire, 
O Jacob, who do feek thy face 
with their who'e heart's defire. 

7 Ye gates, lift up your heads on high, 

ye doors that laft for ay. 
Be lifted up, that fo the King 
of glory enter may. 

8 But who of glory is the King? 

The mighty Lord is this ; 
Ev'n that fame Lord, that great in might, 
and ftrong in battle is. 

9 Ye gates, lift up your heads ; ye doors, 

doors that do laft for ay, 
Be lifted up, that fo the King

The Lord of hofts, and none but he

PSALM XXXVI. 

HE wicked man's tranfgredlon 
within my heart thus (ays. 
Undoubtedly the fear of God 
is not before his eyes. 
t Becaufe himfelf he flattereth 
in his own blinded eye, 
Until the hatefuluefs be found 
of his iniquity. 

3 Words from his mouth proceeding are, 
fraud and iniquity : 

He to be wife, and to do good, 
hath left off utterly. 

4 He mifchief, lying on his bed, 
moft cunningly doth plot : 

He fets himfelf in ways not good, 
ill he abhorreth not. 

5 Thy mercy, Lord, is in the heav'ns ; 
thy truth doth reach the clouds : 

6 Thy juftice is like mountains great ; 
thy judgments deep as floods : 

Lord, thou preferveft man and beaft. 
^ How precious is thy grace I 
Therefore in ftiadow of thy wings 
men's fons their truft fliall place. 

8 They with the fatnefs of thy houfe 
fhall be well fatisfy'd ; 

From rivers of thy pleafures thou 
wilt drink to them provide. 

9 Becaufe of life the fountain pure 
remains alone with thee ; 

And in that purefl lightof thine 
we clearly light fhall fee. 

10 Thy loving-kindnefs unto them 
continue that thee know ; 

And ftill on men upright in heart 
thy righteoufnefs beftow. 

11 Let not the foot of cruel pride 
come, and againft me ftand ; 

And let me not removed be, 
Lord, by the wicked's hand. 

12 There fall'n are they, and ruined, 
that work iniquities : 

Caft down they are, and never Oiall 
be able to arife. 

PSALM XXXVII. 

t TT'OR evil-doers fret thou not 
Jl thyfelf unquietly ; 
Nor do thou envy bear to thofe 
that work iniquitv. 



2 For, even like unto the grafs, 

foon be cut down Ihall they ; 
And, like the green and tender herb, 
they wither Ihall away. 

3 Set thou thy truft upon the Lord, 

and be thou doing good ; 
And fo thou in the land fhalt dwell, 
and verily have food, 

4 Delight thyfelf in God ; he'll give 

thine heart's defire to thee. 

5 Thy way to God commit, him truft, 

it bring to pafs fhall he. 

6 And, like unto the light, he ftiall 

thy righteoufnefs difplay ; 
And he thy judgment fliall bring forth 
like noon-tide of the day. 

7 Reft in the Lord, and patiently 

wait for him : do not fret 
For him, who profp'ring in his way, 

fuccefs in iin doth get. 
S Do thou from anger ceafe, and wrath 

fee thou forfake alfo : 
Fret not thyfelf in any wife, 

that evil thou fhould'ft do. 
9 For thofe that evil doers are 

ihall be cut oft' and fall ; 
But thofe that wait upon the Lord 

the earth inlierit fhall. 

10 For yet a little while, and then 

the wicked fhall not be ; 
His place thou ihalt coniider well, 
but it thou flialt not fee. 

11 But by inheritance the earth 

the meek ones fliall polfefs : 
They alfo ftiall delight themfelves 
in an abundant peace. 

13 The wicked plots againft the juft, 
and at him whets his teeth. 

13 The Lord fhall laugh at him, becaufe 

his day he coming feeth. 

14 The wicked have drawn out the fword, 

and bent their bow, to flay 
The poor and needy, and to kill 
men of an upright way. 

15 But their own fword, which they have drawn, 

ftiall enter their own heart : 
Theirbows which they have bent fhall break, 
and into pieces part. 

16 A little that a juft man hath 

is more and better far 
Than is the wealth of many fuch 
as lewd and wicked are. 

17 For finners' arms ftiall broken be ; 

but God the juft fuftains. 

1 8 God knows the juft man's days, and ftill 

their heritage remains. 

19 They ihall not be aftiam'd, when they 

the evil time do fee ; 
And when the days of famine are, 
they fatisfy'd ftiall be, 

20 But wicked men, and foes of God, 

as fat of lambs, decay ; 
They ftiall confume, yea, into fmoke 

they fliall confume away. 
■21 The wicked borrows, but the fame 

again he dotli not pay ; 
Wliereas the righteous mercy fliows, 

and gives his own away. 

22 For fuch asblefledbe of him 
the earth inherit ftiall ; 
And tliey that curfed are of him 
ftiall be deftroyedall. 
«3 A good man's footfteps by the Lord 
are ordered aright ; 
And in the way wherein he walks 
he greatly doth delight. 



24 Although he fall, yet fliall he not 

be caft down utterly ; 
Becaufe the Lord with his own hand 
upholds him mightily. 

25 I have been young, and now an old, 

yet have I never feen 
The juft man left, nor that his feed 
for bread have beggars been. 

26 He's ever merciful, and lends : 

his feed is bleft therefore. 

27 Depart from evil, and do good, 

and dwell for evermore. 
zS For God loves judgment, and his faints 

leaves not in any cafe ; 
They are kept ever: but cut off 

ftiall be the ftnner's race. 
19 The juft inherit (hall the land, 

and ever in it dwell : 

30 The juft man's mouth doth wifdom fpeak f 

his tongue doth judgment tell. 

31 In's heart the law is of his God, 

his fteps Aide not away, 
31 The wicked man doth watch thejuft, 
and feeketh him to flay. 

33 Yet him the Lord will not forfake, 

nor leave him in his hands : 
The righteous will he not condemn, 
when he in judgment ftands. 

34 Wait on the Lord, and keep his way, 

and thee exalt ftiall he 
Th' earth to inherit ; when cut off 
the wicked thou flialt fee, 

35 I faw the wicked great in pow'r, 

fpread like a green bay-tree : 

36 He pafs'd, yea, was not; him I fought, 

but found he could not be, 

37 Mark thou the perfeiii:, and behold 

the man of uprightnefs ; 
Becaufe that furely of this man 
the latter end is peace. 

38 But thofe men that tranfgreflbrs are 

fliall be deftroy'd together ; 
The latter end of wicked men 
fhall be cut off for ever. 

39 But the falvation of the juft 

is from the Lord above : 
He in the time of their diftrefs 

their ftay and ftrength doth prove. 

40 The Lord ftiall help, and them deliver ; 

he fhall them free and fave 
From wicked men ; becaufe in him 
their confidence they have. 

PSALM XXXVIII. 

1 TN thy great indignation, 
J. OLord, rebuke me not ; 

Nor on me lay tliy chaft'nlng hand

2 For in me faft thine arrows ftick, 

thine hand doth prefs me fore : 

3 And in my flefli there is no liealth,

This grief I have, becaufe thy wratli

And in my bones there is no reft, 

for fln that I have done. 

4 Becaufe gons up above mine head

And, as a weighty burden, they 
too heavy are for me.

For th' enemy's oppreflion 
why do I mourning go ? 

3 O fend thy light forth and thy truth ; 

let them be guides to me, 
And bring me to thine holy hill, 
ev'n where thy d>.\ ellings be. 

4 Then will I to God's altar go, 

to God my chieieft joy ; 
Yea, God, my God, thy name to praife 
my harp I will employ. 

5 Wliy art thou then curt down, my foul ?

PSALM XLIV. 
J /^ God, we with our ears have heard, 
V^ our fathers have us told. 
What works thou in their days liadfl done, 
ev'n in the days of old. 
a Thy hand did drive the heathen out, 
and plant them 'n tlieir place ; 
Thou didft afflict the nations, 
but them thou didrt; incrcafe. 
3 For neither got tlie'.r fword the land, 
nor did the'r arm them !'ave ; 
But thy right hand, arm, countenance ; 
for thou them favour gave. 



4 Thou art my King : for Jacob, Lord, 

deliv'rances command. 
3 Through thee we ihall pufli down our foes, 
that do againft us ftand : (tliofe 

We, through thy name, fhall tread down 
that ris'n againft us have. 

6 For in my bow I fliall not truft, 

nor fhall my fword me fave. 

7 But from our foes thou haft us fav'd, 

our haters put to fhame. 

5 In God we all the day do boaft, 

and ever praife thy name. 
9 But now we are caft off by thee, 
and us thou putt'ft to fhame ; 
And when our armies do go forth, 
thou go'ft not with the fame. 

10 Thou mak'ft us from the enemy, 

faint-hearted to turn back ; 
And they who hate us for themfelves 
our fpoils away do take, 

1 1 Like fheep for meat thou gaveft us ; 

'mong Heathen caft we be. 

12 Thou didft for nouglit thy people fell ; 

their price enrich'd not thee. 

13 Thou mak'ft us a reproach to be 

unto our neighbours near ; 
Derifion and a fcorn to them 
that round about us are. 

14 A by-word alfo tliou do(t us 

among the Heathen make : 
The people, in contempt and fpitc, 
at us their heads do fliake. 

15 Before me mv confufion 

continually abides ; 
And of my bafbful countenance 
the (hame me ever hides : 

16 For voice of him tliat doth reproach, 

and fpeaketh blafphemy ; 
By reafon of th' avenging foe, 
and cruel enemy. 

17 All this is come on us, yet we 

have not forgotten thee ; 
Nor talfely in thy covenant 
behav'd ourfelves have we. 
I S Back from thy way our heart not turn'd ; 
our fteps no ftraying made ; 

19 Though us tliou brak'ft in dragons' place, 

and cover'dft with death's fliade. 

20 If we God's name forgot, or ftretch'd 

to a ftrange God our iiands, 

21 Shall not God fearch this out ? for he 

heart's fecrets underftands. 

22 Yea, for thy fake we're kill'd all day, 

counted as llaughter-fheep. 

23 Rife, Lord, caft us not ever off; 

awake, why doft thou fleep ? 

24 O wliei^efore hideft thou tliy face ? 

forgert'ft our cafe diftrels'd, 

25 And our oppreflion ? For our foul 

is to the duft down prefs'd : 
Our belly alfo on the earth 
faft cleaving, hold doth take. 

26 Rife for our help, and us redeem, 

ev'n for thy mercy's fake.

PSALM XLIX. 

1 T TEAR this, all people, andgive ear, 
JLX all in the world that dwell ; 

2 Both low and high, both rich and poor. 

3 My mouth fliall wifdom tell : 
My heart fliall knowledge meditate, 

4 I will incline mine ear 

To parables, and on the liarp 
my fayings dark declare. 

5 Amidd thofe days that evil be, 

why (hould I, fearing, doubt ? 
When of my heels th' iniquity 
fliall compafs me about. 

6 Whoe'er they be that in their wealthy 

their confidence do pitch, 
And boad themfelves, bccaufe they are 
become exceeding rich : 

7 Yet noneofthefe his brother can 

redeem by any way ; 
Nor can he unto God for him 

fufficient ranfom pay. 
8(1 heir foul's redemption precious is, 

and it Can never be,) 
9 That dill he fliould for ever lire, 

and not corruption fee. 

10 For why > he feeth that wife men die, 

and bruti(h fools alfo 
Do pcrifli ; and their wealth, wlien dead, 
to others they let go. 

1 1 Their inward thought is, that their houfe 

and dwelling-places fliall 
Stand through all ages ; they their lands 
by their own names do call. 

12 But yet in honour fhall not man 

abide continually ; 
But paffing hence, may be compar'd, 
unto the beads that die. 

13 Thus brutifli folly plainly is 

their wifdom and their way ; 
Yet their poderity approve 
w hat they do foi"idly fay. 

14 Like fheep they in the grave are laid, 

and death (hall them devour ; 
And in the morning upright men 

fliall over them have pow'r : 
Tlieir beauty from their dwelling fhall 

confume within the grave. 

15 But from hell's hand God will me free, 

for he fliall me receive. 

16 Be thou not then afraid when one 

enriched thou dod fee. 
Nor v/hen the glory of his houfe 
advanced is on high ; 

17 For he fhall carry nothing hence 

when death his days doili end ; 
Nor (hall his glory after him 
info tlie grave delcend 
ig Although he his own foul did blefi 
whild he on earth did live ; 
(And when thou to thyfelf do'ft well, 
men will thee praifesgive ;) 
19 He to his father.s' race fliall go, 

they never fliall fee light, 
so Man honour'd wanting knowledge is 
like beads that perifli quite.

PSALM L. 

1 HTHE mighty God, the Lord, 

hath spoken, and did call 
The earth, fi-om ribing of the sun, 
to where he hath his fall. 

2 From out of Sion liill, 

which of excelency 
And beauty the perfection is, 

God shined gloriously. 
S Our God shall surely come, 

keep silence shall not he: 
Before him fire sh;ill waste, great storms 

shall round about him be. 

4 Unto the lieavens clear 

he from aliove shall call. 
And to the earth likewise, (that he 
may judge his people all.) 

5 Together let my saiuts 

uiito me gather'd be, 
I'hose that by sacrifice have made 
a coven^mt with me. 

6 And then the heavens shall 

his rightei.usness declare: 

Because the Lord himself is he 

by whom men jud-: ed are. 

7 My ] eople Isr'el hear, 

spe k will 1 from en high, 
Ag dust thee I will testify ; 
God, ev'n thy God, am L 

8 I for thy sacrihce 

no blame will on thee lay. 
Nor foi' burnt-off 'rings, which to me 
thou offer 'dst ev'ry day. 

9 I'll take no calf nor goats 

from house or fold of thine : 

10 For beasts of forests, cattle all 

on thousand hills, are mine. 

11 The fowls on mountains high, 

are all to me well known ; 
Wild beasts which in the fields do lie, 
ev'n they are all mine own. 

12 Then, if I hungry were, 

1 would not tell it thee ; 
Because the world, and fulness all 
thereof, belongs to me. 
S3 Will I eat flesh of bulls? 

or goats' blood drink will I ? 

14 Thanks ofFer thou to God, and pay 

thy vows to the most High. 

15 And call upon me when 

in trouble thou shalt be ; 

I will deliver thee, and thou 

my name sh;ili glorif;'. 

16 But to the wicked man 

God saith, My laws and truth 
Should'st thou declare ? how dar 'st thou take 
my cov'nant in thy mouth ? 

17 Sith thou instruction hat'st, 

which should thy wa;. s direct ; 
And sith my words behind thy back 
thou cast'st, and dost reject. 

18 When thou a thief didst see, 

with liim thou didst consent ; 
And with the vile adultei ers 
partaker on thou weni. 

19 Thou giv'st thy mouth to, ill, 

thy tongue eceit doth frame : 

20 Thou sitt'st and 'g-dnst thy brother 

thy mother's son dost shame, [speak'st, 

21 Because I silence kejit, 

while thou these things hast wrought; 
That I was altogether like 

thyseif, hath been thy thought: 
Yet I will thee reprove, 

and set before thine eyes, 
In order rnnked, thy misdeeds, 

and thine iniquities. 



22 Now, ye that God forget 

this carefully consider ; 
Lest I in pieces tear you all, 
and none can you deliver. 

23 Whoso d th ofifer praise 

me glorifies, and I 
Will shev/ him God's salvation, 
that orders right his waj'. 

Another of the same, 

1 "THE mighty God, the Lord, hath spoke, 

and call'd the earth upon, 
Ev'n from the rising of the sun 
unto his going down. 

2 From out of Sion, his own hill, 

where the perfection high 
Of beauty is, from thence the Lord 
hath shined gloriously. 

3 Our God shall come, and shall no more 

be silent, but spe?k out: 
Before him fire shall waste, great storms 
shall compass him about. 

4 He to the heavens from above, 

and to the earth below, 
Shall call, (that he his judgments may 
before his people show.) 

5 Let all my saints together be 

imto me gathered ; 
Those that by sacrifice with me 
a covenant have m ide. 

6 And then the heavens shall declare 

his righteousness abroad : 
Because the Lord himself doth come; 
none else is judge but God. 

7 Hear, O my people, and I'll speak; 

O Israel by name, 
Against thee I will testify : 
God, ev'n thy God, I am. 

8 I for thy sacrifices few 

reprove thee never will. 
Nor for burnt-oif 'rings to have been 
before me offer'd still. 

9 I'll take no bullock nor he-goats 

from house nor folds of thine : 

10 For beasts of forests, cattle aU 

on thousand hills, are mine. 

11 The fowls are all to me well known 

that mountains high do yield ; 
And I do challenge as mine own 
the wild beasts of the field. 

12 If I were hungry, I would not 

to thee for need complain ; 
For earth and all its fulness, doth 
to me of right pertain. 

13 Th:;t I to eat the flesh of bulls 

take pleasure dost thou think ? 
Or that I need, to quench my thirst, 
the blood of goats to drink? 

14 Nay, rather unto me, thy God, 

thanksgiving offer thou: 
To the most High perform thy word, 
and fully pay thy vow : 

15 And in the day of troulile great 

see thnt thou caU c;n nie; 
I will deliver thcc, and thou 
my name shalt glorif}'. 

16 But God unto the wicked saith. 

Why should'st thou mention make 
Of my commands? how d:'.r'st thou in 
thy mouth my cov'nant take? 

17 Sith it is so that thou dost hate 

all good instruction ; 
And sith thru cast'st behind thy back, 
and slight'st my words each. one. 

18 When thou a thief didst see, then straight 

thou join'dst with hini in sin. 
And with the vile adulterers 
tliou hast jjartakcr been. 



19 Thy mouth to evil thou dost give, 

thy tongue deceit doth frame. 

20 Thou sitt'st and 'gainst thy brother 

thy mother's son to shame. [speak'st, 

21 These things thou wickedly hast done, 

and I have silent been ; 
Thou thought'st that I was like thyself, 

and did approve thy sin: 
But I will sharply thee reprove, 

and I will order right 
Thy sins and thy transgressions, 

in presence of thy sight. 

22 Consider this, and be afraid, 

ye that forget the Lord, 
Lest I in pieces tear you all, 
when none can help afford. 

23 Who oflT'reth ])raise me glorifies: 

I v^ill shew God's salvation 
To him that ordereth aright 
his lite and conversation. 

PSALM LL

3 For my transgressions I confess; 

my sin I ever see. 

4 'Gainst thee, thee only, have I sinn'd, 

in thy sig'nt done this ill ; 
That when thou speak'st thou may'st be 
and clear in judging still. [just,

in guiltiness and sin. 

6 Behold, Aou in the inward pai'ts

And wisdom thou shait make me know 
within the hidden jjart. 

7 Do thou with hyssop sprinkle me, 

I shall be cleansed so ; 
Yea, wash thou me, and then I shall 
be whiter than the snow. 

8 Of gladness and of jo} fubiess 

make me to hear the voice ; 
That so these very bones which thou 
hast broken may rejoice. 

9 All mine iniquities blot out, 

thy face hide from my sin. 

10 Create a clean heart, Lord, renew 

a right sp'i it me within. 

11 Cast me not from thy sight, nor take 

thy holy Sjj'rit away. 

12 Restore me thy salvation's joy ; 

with thy free S];'rit me stay. 

13 Then will I teach thy ways unto 

those that transgressors be; 
And ilioje that sinners arc sh.dl thca

14 O God, of my salvation God, 

me from blood-guihiiiess 
Set free : then shall my tongue aloud 
sing of thy righteousness. 

15 My closed lips, O Lord, by thee 

let them be opened ; 
Then sliall thy i)rai' es by my moutli 
abroad be puljlislicd. 

16 For thou dcsir'st not sacrifice,

Nor wilt thou with burnt-offering

that sought God, and was wise. 

3 They altogether filthy are, 

they all are backward gone ; 
And there is none that docth good, 
no, not so much as one. 

4 These workers of iniquity, 

do they not know at all, 
Tiiat they my people eat as bread, 
and on Goil tlo not call ? 

5 Ev 'n there they were afraid, and stood 

with trembling, all disma)'d. 
Whereas there was no cause at all 

why they should Ije afraid : 
For God his bones that thee besitg'd 

ht.th sCAtter'd all abroad; 
Thou hast confounded them, for they 

dcbpised are of God. 

6 Let Isr'cl's help from Sion come: 

when back the Lord shall bring 
His captives, Jacob shall rejoice, 
and Israel shall sing. 

PSALM LrV'. 

1 C AVE mc, O God, by thy great name, 
^ and judge me by thy f tnngth : 

2 My prayer hear, O Gcd: give ear 

unto my words at length. 

3 For thoy that strangers are to me 

d'l up iigainst me rise; 
Oppressors seek my soul, and God 
set not before their eyes. 



4 The Lord my God my helper is, 

lo, therefore I am bold : 
He taketh part with cv'ry one 
th.it doth my scul uphold. 

5 Unto mine enemies he shall 

mischief and ill repay : 
O for thy truUi's sake cut them off, 
and s.vecp them clean awa)-. 

6 I Vr-ill a sacrifice to thee 

give with free willingness: 
Thy name, O Lord, because 'tis good, 
with praise I will confess. 

7 For he hath me delivered 

from all adversities; 
And his desire mine eye hath sc:n 
upon mine enemies. 

PSALM LV. 

1 T ORD, hear my pray'r, hide not thyself 

from my entreating voice : 

2 Attend and hear me ; in my plaint 

I mourn and make a noise. 

3 Because of th' en'my's voice, and for 

lewd men's oppression great: 
On me they cast iniquit) , 
and they in wrath me hate. 

4 Sore pain'd within me is my heart, 

death's terrors on me fall : 

5 On me comes trembling, fear and dread 

o'eT4(|bgibned me withal. 

6 O that * like a dove, had Avings, 

said I, then would I flee 
Far hence, that I might find a place 
where I in rest might be. 

7 Lo, then far ofT I wander would, 

and in the desert sta_\- ; 

I From windy storm and tempest I 

would haste to 'scape away. 

9 O IjOrd, on them destruction bring, 

and do their tongues chvide ; 
For in the city violence 
and strife I have espy'd. 

10 They day and night upon the walls 

do go about it round: 
There mischief is, and sorrow there 
in midst of it is found. 

II Abundant wickedness there is 

within her inward part ; 
And from her streets deceitfulness 
and guile do not depart. 

12 He was no foe that me reproach 'd, 

then that endure I could ; 
Nor hater that did 'gainst me boast, 
from him me hide I would. 

13 But thou, man, who mine equal, guide, 

and mine acquaintance wast: 
14We join'd sweet counsels, to God's house 
in company we past. 

15 Let deatli upon them seize, and down 

let them go quick to hell ; 
For wickedness doth much abound 
among them where they dwell. 

16 I'll call on Gcd; Gcd will me save. 

17 I'll pr.iy, ?nd make a noise 

At c\'ning, morning, and at noon; 
and he shall hear my voice. 

18 He hath my soul delivered, 

that it in pc ice might be 
From battle that ag:jnst me was; 
for many were with me. 

19 The Lord shall hear, and them afflict, 

of old who hath aiiode : 
Because they never changes have, 
thercf )re they fear not God. 

20 'Gainst those that were at peace witli him 

he hath put fortli liis hand: 
The covenant tliat he had made, 
by breaking he profun'd. 



21 More smooth than butter were his words, 
while in his heart wi.s war ; 

His speeches were more sou than oil, 
and yet drawn swords they are. 

22 Cast tliou thy burden on the Lord, 
and he shall thee sustain ; 

Yea, he shall cause the righteous man 
unmoved to remain. 

23 But thou, O Lord my God, those men 
in justice shait o'erthrow, 

And in destruction's dungeon dark 

at last shait lay them low. 
The bloody and dcceitfiil men 

shall not live half their days: 
But upon thee with ccnfidence 

I will depend always. 

PSALM LVI. 

1 CHEW mercy. Lord, to me, for man 
would sv/jillow me outright; 

He me oppresseth, while he doth 
against me daily fight. 

2 They daily would me swallow up 
that hate me spitefully ; 

For they be many that do fight 
against me, O most High. 

3 When I'm afraid I'll trust in thee: 

4 In God I'll ])raise his word; 
I will not fear what flesh can do, 

my tnist is in the Lord. [thoughts 

5 Each day they wrest my words; their 
'gainst me are all for ilL 

6 They meet, they lurk, they mark my steps, 
waiting my soul to kill. 

7 But shall they by iniquity 
escape thy judgments so? 

O God, with indignation down 
do thou the ]:cople tlirow. 

8 My wand'rings ail v,hat they have been 
thou know'st, their number took; • 

Into thy bottle put my tears : 
are they not in thy book? 

9 My foes shall, when I cry, turn back ; 
I know't, God is for me. 

10 In God his word I'll praise ; his word 
in God shall praised be. 

11 In God I ti-ust; I will not fear 
what man can do to me. 

12 Thy vows upon me are, O God : 
I'll render praise to thee. 

13 Wilt thou not, who from death me sav'd, 
my feet from falls keep free. 

To walk before God in the light 
of those that living be ?

PSALM LVin. 

1 T~)0 ye, O corgregation,

O ye, that are the sons of men, 
judge ye with uprightness ? 

2 Yea, even within your very hearts 

ye wickedness live done: 
And ye the vi'lence of your hands 
do weigh the eai th upon. 

3 The wicked men estranged are 

ev'n from the ver}' w.mb; 
They speaking lies, do stray, as soon 

as to the world they come. 
"t Unto a serpent's poison like 

their poison doth appear ; 
Yea, they are like the adder deaf, 

that closely stops her ear : 

5 That so she may not hear the voice 

of one that charm her would, 
No, not thougii he most cunning were, 
and charm most wisel'- could. 

6 Their teeth, O God, within their moutli 

break thcu in pieces small : 
The great teeth break thou out, O Lord, 
of these }ximg liens aU. 

7 Let them like waters melt away, 

which downward stiU do flow : 
In pieces cut his arrows all, 
when he shall bend his bow. 

8 Like to a snail tliat melts away, 

let each of them be gene ; 
Like woman's birtli mitimely, that 
they never see the sun. 

9 He shall them take away before 

your pots the thorns can find, 
Both Uving, and in fury great, 
as with a stormy wind. 

10 The righteous, when he vengeance sees, 

he shall be joyful then ; 
The righteous one shall wash his feet 
in blood of wicked men. 

11 So men shall sa> , The righteous man 

reward shall never miss : 
And verily upcn the earth 
a God to judge there is. 
PSALM LIX. 

1 IVTY God, deliver me from those 

that are mine enemies ; 
And do thou me defend from those 
that up against me rise. 

2 Do thou deUver me from them 

that work iniquity ; 
And give me safety from the men 
of bloody cruelty. 

3 For, lo, they for my soul lay wait : 

the mighty do combine 
Against me, Lord ; not for my fault, 
nor any sin of mine. 

4 They run, and, without fault in mc, 

themselves do ready make ; 
Avirake to meet nie with thy help, 
and do thou notice take. 



5 Awake therefore, I^ord God of hosts, 

thou Gcd of Israel, 
To visit Heathen all: spare none 
that wickedly rebel. 

6 At evening they go to and fi'O : 

the}" make great noise and scond, 
Like to a dog, and often walk 
about the city round. 

7 Behold, they belch out with their mouth, c 

and in their lips are swords ; 
For they do say thus. Who is he 
that now doth hear our words ? 

8 But thou, O Lord, shalt laugh at them, 

and all the Heatiien mock. 

9 \Miile he's in pow'r I'U wait on thee ; 

for God is my high rock. 

10 He of my mercy that is God 

betimes shall me prevent ; 
Upon mine en'mies Gcd shall let 
me see mine heart's content. 

11 Them slay not, lest my folk forget; 

but scatter them abroad 
By thy strong pow'r, and bring them down, 
O thou our shield and God. 

12 For their mouth's sin, and for the words 

that from their lips do fly. 
Let them be taken in their pride ; 
because they curse and lie. 

13 In wrath consume them, them consume, 

that so they may not be : 
And that in Jacob God doth rule 
to th' earth's ends let them see. 

14 At ev'ning let thou them return, 

making gi-eat noise and sound. 
Like to a dog, and often walk 
about the city round. 

15 And let them wander up and down 

in seeking food to eat ; 
And let them grudge when they shall not 
be satisfy 'd with meat. 

16 But of thy pow'r I'U sing aloud ; 

at morn thy mercy praise : 
For thou to me my refiige wast, 
and tow'r, in troublous days. 

17 O God, thou art my strength, I will 

sing praises unto thee ; 
For God is my defence, a God 
of mercy unto me.

1 r\ LORD, thou hast rejected us, 

and scatter'd us abroad: 
Thou justly hast displeased been ; 
return to us, O Gcd. 

2 The earth to tremble thou hast made, 

therein didst Ijreaches make ; 

Do thou thereof the breaches heal, 

because the land doth shake. 

3 Unto thy people thou hard things 

hast shewed, and on them sent; 
And thou hast caused us to di-ink 
wine of astonishment. 

4 And yet a bnnner thou hast giv'n 

to them who thee do fear ; 
That it by them, because of truth, 
displayed may appear. 

5 That thy bel .ved people may 

deli\er'd be from thrall, 
Save with tlie pow'r of thy right hand, 
and hear me when I caU.

Ephraim is of mine head the strength ; 
Judali gives laws for me ;

I'll over Edom tlirow ; 
And over Palestine's land

O who is he that to the land 
of Edom wili me guide ?

And when through the great wilderness

8 Then at God's presence shook the earth; 

then drops from heaven fell ; 
This Sinai shook before che Lord,

didst it refresh again. 

10 Thy congregation then did make 

their habitation there : 
Of thine own goodness for the poor, 
O God, thou didst prepare. 

11 The Lord himself did give the word. 

The word abroad did spread ; 
Great was the company of them 
the same who published. 

12 Kings of great armies foiled were, 

and forc'd to fiee awav ; 
And women, who remain'd at home, 
did distribute tke prey, 

13 Though ye have lain among the pots, 

like doves ye shall appear, 
Whose wings with silver, and with gold 
whose feathers cover 'd are. 

14 WTien there th' Almighty scatter'd kings, 

like Salmon's snow 'twas white. 

15 God's hill is like to Bashan hiU, 

like Bashan hill for height. 

16 Why do ye leap, ye mountains high ? 

this is the hill where God 
Desires to dwell ; yea, God in it 

for ay will make abode. 
IT God's chariots twenty thousand are, 

thousands of angels strong; 
In's holy place God is, as in 

mount Sinai them among. 
18 Thou hast, O Lord, most glorious 

ascended up on high ; 
And in triumph victorious led 

captive captivit}' : 
Thou hast received gifts for men, 

for su:h as did rebel ; 
Yea, ev'n for them, that God the Lord 

in midst of them might dwell. 



19 Bless'd be the Lord, who is to us 

of our salvation Gcd ; 
Who daily with his benefits 
us plenteousl}- doth load. 

20 He of salvation is the God, 

who is our God most strong; 
And unto God the Lord, from death 
the issues do belong. 

21 But surely God shall wound the head 

of those that are his foes ; 
The hairy scalp of him that stiU 
on in his trespass goes. 

22 God said. My people I will bring 

again from Bashan hill ; 
Yea, from the sea's devouring deeps 
them bring again I will ; 

23 That in the blood of enemies 

thy foot imbru'd may be. 
And of the dogs dipp'd in the same 
the tongues thou mayest see. 

24 Thy goings they have seen, O God; 

the steps of majesty 
Of my God, and my mighty King, 
Within the sanctuary. 

25 Before went singers, players next 

on instruments took way ; 
And them among the damsels were 
that did on timbrels play. 

26 Within the congregations 

bless God with one accord: 
From Israel's fountain do ye bless 
and praise the mighty Lord. 

27 With their prince, little Benjamin, 

princes and council there 
Of Judah were, there Zebulon's 

and Napht'li's princes were. [strong 

28 Thv God commands thy strength ; make 

wh;\t thou wrcught'st for us, Lord. 

29 For thy he use at Jerusalem 

Kings shall the gifts afford. 

30 The spearmen's host, the multitude 

of buUs, which fiercely look ; 
These cah"es which people ha^-e forth sent, 

O Lord our God, rebuke, 
Till ev'rv one submit himself, 

and silver pieces bring: 
The ■('eople that delight in war 

disperse, O Gnd and King. 

31 Those that be princes great shall then 

come rut of Egvpt lands; 
And Ethiopia to God 

shall soon stretch out her hands. 

32 O all ye kingdoms of the earth, 

sing praises to this king ; 
For he is Lord that ruleth all, 
unto him praises sing. 

33 To him that rides on heav'ns of heav'ns, 

which he of old did found; 
Lo, he fends out his voice, a voice 
in might thiit doth abound. 

34 Strength unto God do ye ascribe ; 

for his excellency 
Is over Israel, his strength 
is in the clouds most high. 

35 Thou'rt from thy temple dreadful. Lord; 

Isr'el's own God is he, 
Who gives his people strength and pow'r: 
O let God blessed be. 

PSALM LXIX. 

1 CAVE me, O God, because the floods 

do so environ me, 

That ev'n unto my very soul 

come in the waters be. 

2 I downward in deep mire do sink, 

where standing there is none: 
I am into deep waters come, 
■where floods have o'er me gone. 



3 I weary with my ctying am, 

m.y throat is also dry'd ; 
Mine eyes do fail, while for my God 
I waiting do abide. 

4 Those men that do vv^ithout a cause 

bear hatred unto me ; 
Than are the hairs upon my head 

in number, more they be : 
They that would me destroy, and are 

mine en'mies wrongfully. 
Are mighty : so what I took not 

to render forc'd was I. 

5 Lord, thou my folly know'st, my sins 

not cover'd are from thee. 

6 Let none that wait on thee be sham'd. 

Lord God of hosts, for me. 
O Lord, the God of Israel, 

let none who search do make, 
And seek thee, be at any time 

confounded for my sake. 

7 For I have borne reproach for thee, 

my face is hid with shame. 

8 To brethren strange, to mother's son* 

an alien I became. 

9 Because the zeal did eat me up 

which to thine house I bear ; 
And the reproaches cast at thee, 
upon me fallen are. 

10 My tears and fasts t' af3ict my soul 

were turned to my shame : 

11 Wlien sackcloth I did wear, to thera 

a proverb I became. 

12 The men that in the gate do sit 

against me evil spake; 
They also that vile drunkards were, 
of me their song did make. 

13 But in an acceptable time, 

my pray'r. Lord, is to thee: 
In truth of thy salvation. Lord, 
and mercy great, hear me. 

14 Deliver me out of the mire, 

from sinking do me keep ; 
Free me from those that do me hate, 
and from the waters deep. 

15 Let not the flood on me prevail, 

whose water overflows ; 
Nor deep me swallow, nor the pit 
her mouth upon me close. 

16 Hear me, O Lord, because thy love 

and kindness is most good ; 
Turn unto me, according to 
thy mercies' multitude ; 

17 Nor from thy servant hide thy face: 

I'm troubled, soon attend. 

18 Draw near my soul, and it redeem; 

me from my foes defend. 

19 To thee is my reproach well known, 

m;- shame, and my disgrace : 
Those that mine adversaries be 
are all before thy face. 

20 Reproach hath broke my heart; I'm ful 

of grief: I look'd for one 

To pity me, but none I found; 

comforters found I none. 

21 They also bitter gall did give 

unto me for m}- meat : 
They gave mc vinegar to drink, 
when as my thirst was great. 

22 Before them let their table prove 

a snare ; and do thou make 
Their welfare and prosperity 
a trap themselves to take. 

23 Let thou their eyes so darken'd be, 

that sight may them forsake ; 
And let their loins be made by thee 
continually to shake.

35 For God will Judah's cities build, 

and he will Sion save, 
That they may dwell therein, and it 
in sure possession have. 

36 And they that art his servants' seed

So shall they have their dwelling there 
that love his blessed name.

4 O Lord, in thee let all be glad,

PSALM LXXL 

1 Q LORD, my hope and confidence 

is plac'd in thee alone; 
Then let thy servant never be 
l)ut to confusion. 

2 And let me, in thy righteousness, 

from thee deli v 'ranee have: 
Cause me escape, incline thine ear 
unto me, and me save. 

3 Be thou my dwelling-rock, to which 

1 ever may resort: 

Thou gav'st commandment me to save, 
for thou'rt my rock and fort. 

4 Free me, my God, from wicked hands, 

hands cruel and unjust : 

5 For thou, O Lord God, art my hope, 

and from my youth my trust. 

6 Thou from the womb didst hold me up : 

thou art the same that me 
Out of my mother's bowels took ; 
I ever will praise thee. 

7 To many I a wonder am; 

but thou'rt my refuge strong. 

8 Fill'd let my mouth be with thy praise 

and honour all day long. 

9 O do not cast me off, when as 

old age doth overtake me; 
And when my strength decayed is, 
then do not thou forsake me. 

10 For those that are mine enemies 

against me speak with hate ; 
And they together counsel take 
that for my soul lay wait. 

11 They said, God leaves him; him pursue 

and take : none will him save. 

12 Be thou not far from me, my God : 

thy speedy help I crave. 

13 Confound, consume them, that unto 

my soul are enemies ; 
Cloth'd be they with reproach and shame 
that do my hurt devise. 

14 But I with expectation 

w ill hope continually ; 
And yet with praises more and more 
I v/ill thee magnify.

IG And I will constantly go on 
in strength of God' tiie Lord ; 
And thine own righteousness, ev'n thine

ir For even from my \outh, O God, 
by thee I have been taught ; 
And hitherto I have declar'd 
the wonders thou hast wrought. 

18 And now, Lord, leave me not, when I 

old and gray-headed grow ; 
Till to this age thy strength and pow'r 
to all to come I show. 

19 And thy most perfect righteousness, 

O Lord, is ver) high. 
Who hast so great things done: O God, 
who is like unto thee ? 

20 Thou, Lord, who great adversities, 

and sore, to me didst sliow, 
Shalt quicken, and bring me again 
from depths of earth below. 

21 My greatness ami my pow'r tliou wilt 

increase, and far extend: 

On ev'ry side against all grief 

thou wilt me comfort send. 



22 Thee, ev'n thy truth, I'll also praise,. 

my God, v.ith psaltery: 
Thou holy One of Israel, 
with harp I'll sing to thee. 

23 My lips shall much rejoice in tliee,

My soul, which thou redeemed hast, 
in joy shall much abound.

that seek to do mc wrong.

Likewise the little hills the same 
shall do by righteousness.

And those shall he in pieces break 
who them oppressed have. 

5 The}- shall thee fear, while sun and moon 

do last, through ages all. 

6 Like rain on mown grass he shall drop,

bow down before him must; 
And they that are his enemies 
shall lick the very dust.

Sheba's and Seba's king.

And all the nations of the world 
do service to him shall. 

12 For he the needy shall preserve, 

when he to him doth call; 
The poor also, and him that hath

in mercy he shall spare ; 
He shall preserve alive the soulj 
of those tliat needy are. 

14 Both from deceit and violence 

their soul he shall set free: 
And in his sight right precious 
and dear their blood shall be. 

15 Yea, he shall live, and giv'n to hin

18 Now blessed be the Lord our God, 

the God of Israel, 
For he alone doth wondrous works, 
and glory that excel. 

19 And blessed be his glorious name 

to all eternity : 
The whole eartli let his glory fill. 
Amen, so let it be. 

PSALM LXXIII. 
1 yET God is good to Israel, 

to each pure-heai'ted one ; 
S But as for me, my steps near slipp'd, 

my feet were almost gone. 
S For I envious was, and grudg'd 
'the foolish folk to see, 
When I perceiv'd the wicked sort 
enjoy prosperity. 

4 For still their strength continueth firm, 

their death of bands is free. 

5 They are not toil'd like other men, 

nor plagu'd as others be. 

6 Therefore their pride, like to a chain, 

them compasseth about ; 
And, as a garment, violence 
doth cover them throughout. 

7 Their eyes stand out with fat they have 

more than their hearts could wish. 

8 They are corrupt ; their talk of wrong 

both lewd and lofty is. 

9 They set their mouth against the heav'ns 

in their blasphemous talk ; 
And their reproaching tongnie throughout 
the earth at large doth walk. 

10 His people oftentimes for this 

look back and turn about ; 
Sith waters of so full a cup 

to these are poured out. 
tl And thus they say, How can it be 

that God these things doth know ? 
Or, Can there in the Highest be 

knowledge of things below ? 

12 Behold these, are the wicked ones, 

yet prosper at their will 
In worldly things ; They do increase 
in wealth and riches still. 

13 I verily have done in vain 

my heart to purify ; 
To no effect to innocence 
washed my hands have I. 

14 For daily, and all day throughout, 

great plagues I sufFer'd have; 
Yea, ev'ry morning I of new 
did chastisement receive. 

15 If in this manner foolishly 

to speak I would intend. 
Thy children's generation, 
behold, I should offend. 

16 When I this thought to know, it was 

too hard a thing for me ; 

17 Till to God's sanctuary I went, 

then I their end did see. 

18 Assuredly thou didst them set 

a slipp'ry place upon ; 
Them suddenly thou castedst down 
into destruction. 

19 How in a moment suddenly 

to ruin Ijrought are they ! 

With fearful terrors utterly 

they are consum'd away. 

20 FiV'n like unto a dream, when one 

from sleeping doth arise ; 
So thou, O Lord, when thou awak'st, 
- their image shalt despise. 

21 Thus grieved was my heart in me, 

and me my reins opprest ; 

22 So rude was I and ignorant, 

and in thy sight a beast. 



23 Nevertheless, continually, 

Lord I am with thee : 

Thou dost me hold by my right hand, 
and still upholdest me. 

24 Thou with thy counsel, while I live, 

wilt me conduct and guide : 
And to thy glory afterward 
receive me to abide. 

25 Whom have I in the heavens high, 

but thee, O Lord alone? 
And in earth whom I desire 

besides thee there is none. 
25 My flesh and heart doth faint and fall, 

but God doth fail me never: 
For of my heart God is the strength 

and portion forever. 

27 For, lo, they that are far from thee 

forever perish shall: 
Them that a whoring from thee go 
thou hast destroyed all. 

28 But surely it is good for me 

that I draw near to God : 
In God I trust, that all thy works 

1 may declare abroad. 

PSALM LXXIV. 

1 r\ GOD, why hast thou cast us off ? 

is it for evermore ? 
Against thy pasture-sheep why doth 
thine anger smoke so sore ? 

2 O call to thy rememberance 

thy congregation. 
Which thou hast purchased of old : 

still think the same upon : 
The rod of thine inheritance, 

which thou redeemed hast. 
This Sion hill, wherein thou hadst 

thy dwelling in times past. 

3 To these long desolations 

thy feet lift, do not tarry ; 
For all the ills thy foes have done 
within thy sanctuary. 

4 Amidst thy congregations 

thine enemies do roar : 
Their ensigns they set up for signs 
of triumph thee before. 

5 A man was famous, and was had 

in estimation. 
According as he lifted up 

his axe thick trees upon. 
£ But all at once with axes now 

and hammers they go to ; 
And down the carved work thereof 

they break, and quite undo. 

7 They fired ha\^e thy sanctuary, 

and have defil'd the same. 
By casting down unto the ground 
the place where dwelt thy name. 

8 Thus said they in their hearts. Let us 

destroy them out of hand : 
They burnt up all the synagogues 
of God within the land. 

9 Our signs we do not now behold; 

there is not us among 
A prophet more, nor any one 
that knows the time how long, 

10 How long. Lord, shall the enemy 

thus in reproach exclaim? 
And shall the adversary thus 
always blaspheme thy name ? 

11 Thy hand, ev'n thy right hand of might, 

why dost thou thus draw back? 
O from thy bosom pluck it out 
for our deliv'rance' sake. 

12 For certainly God is my king, 

ev'n from the times of old ; 
Working iu midst of all the earth 
salvation manifold. 



13 The sea, by thy great pow'r, to fart 

asunder thou didst make ; 
And thou the dragons' heads, O Lcrd, 
within the waters brake. 

14 The leviathan's head thou brak'st 

in pieces, and didst give 
Him to be meat unto the folk, 
in wilderness that live. 

15 Thou clav'stthe fountain and the flood, 

which did with streams abound : 
Thou dry'st the mighty waters up 
unto the very ground. 

16 Thine only is the day, O Lord, 

thine also is the night ; 
And thou alone prepared hast 
the sun and shining light. 

17 By thee the borders of the earth 

were settled every where : 
The summer and the winter both 
by thee created were. 

18 That th' enemy reproached hath, 

keep it in record ; 

And that the foolish people have 
blasphem'd thy name, O Lord* 

19 Unto the multitude do not 

thy turtle's soul deliver: 
The congregation of thy poor 
do not forget forever. 

20 Unto thy cov'nant have respect; 

for earth's dark places be 
Full of the habitations 
of horrid cruelty. 

21 O let not those that be oppress'd 

return again with shame. 
Let those that poor and needy are 
give praise unto thy name. 

22 Do thou, O God, arise and plead 

the cause that is thine own : 
Remember how thou art reproach'd 
still by the foolish one. 

23 Do not forget the voice of those 

that are thine enemies: 
Of those the tumult ever grows 
that do against thee rise. 
PSALM LXXV. 

1 ^O thee, O God, do we give thanks, 

we do give thanks to thee : 
Because thy wondrous works declare 
thy great name near to be. 

2 I purpose, when I shall receive 

the congregation, 
That I shall judgment uprightly 
render to ev'ry one. 
S Dissolved is the land, with all 
that in the same do dwell ; 
But I the pillars thereof do 
bear up, and stablish well. 

4 I to the foolish people said. 

Do not deal foolishly ; 
And unto those that wicked are, 
Lift not }'our horn on high : 

5 Lift not your horn on high, nor speak 

6 with stubborn neck. But know 
That not from east, nor west, nor south, 

promotion doth flow. 

7 But God is judge ; he puts down one, 

and sets another up. 

8 For in the hand of God most high 

of red wine is a cup: 
'Tis full of mixture, he pours forth, 

and makes the wicked all 
Wring out the bitter dregs thereof; 

yea, and they drink them shall. 

9 But I forever will declare, 

1 Jacob's God wi^l praise. 

10 All horns of lewd men I'll cut off; 

but just men's horns will raise.

^ TN Judah's land God is well known, 
his name's in Is'rel great: 
2 In Salem is his tabernacle : 
in Sion is his seat. 

3 There arrows of tlie bow he brake, 

the shield, the sword, the war. 

4 More glorious thou than hills of prey, 

more oxtllent art far. 

5 Those that were stout of heart are spoil'd 

they slept their sleep outright; 
And none of those their hands did find 
that were the men of might. 

6 \Mien thy rebuke, O Jacob's God, 

had forlh against them past ; 
Their horses and their chariots both 
were in a dead sleep cast. 

7 Thou, Lord, ev'n thou art he that should 

be fear'd, and who is he 
That may stand up before thy sight, 
If once tliou angry be ? 

8 From heav'n tliou judgment caus'd be 

the earth was still with fear, [heard; 

9 When God to judgment rose, to save 

all meek on earth that were. 

10 Surely the very wrath of man 

unto thy praise redounds : 
Thou to the remnant of his wrath 
■wilt set restraining bounds. 

11 Vow to the Lord )our God, and pay: 

all ye that near him be, 
Bring gifts and presents unto him 
for to be fear'd is he. 

12 By hin> the sp'rits shall be cut off

PSALM LXXVn. 

' TJ^TO the Lord I with my voice, 
I unto God did cry ; 
Ev'n with my voice and unto me 
his car he did apjily. 

3 I in my trouble sought the Lord, 

my sore bj' night did run. 
And ceased not: my grieved soul 

did consolation shun. 
S I to remembrance God did call, 

yet trouble did remain ; 
And ovcrwhcliii'd my spirit was, 

whilst I did sore complain. 

4 Mine c\ es, debarr'd from rest and sleep, 

thou makest still to wake ; 
My trouble is so great that I 
Unaljle am to speak. 

5 Thr days of old to mind I call'd, 

and oft did think upon 
Tin.- times and ages that are past 

full innny years agonc. 
C By night my song I call to mind, 

and commune with my heart; 
My sp'rit did carefully inquire 

how I might ease my smart. 

7 Forever will the Lord cast off 

and gracious be no more ? 

8 Forever is his mercy gone ? 

f.iils his word evermore? 

9 Is't true, that to be gracious . 

the Lord forgotten hath ? 
And th.it his tender nrerries he 
hath shut up in his wrath ? 

10 Then did I say, That surely this 

is mine Infirmity: 
I'll mind the years of the right hand 
of hiiu that is most High. 

11 Yea, I remember well the works 

]:erf()rmed by the Lord ; 
llie wonders done of old by thee 
I surelv will record. 



12 I also will of all thy works 

my meditation make ; 
And of thy doings to discourse 
great pleasure I will take. 

13 O God thy way most holy is, 

within thy saiictuary ; 
And what God is so great in pow'r, 
as is our God most high ? 

14 Thou art the God that wonders do'st 

b)- thy right hand most strong: 
Thy mighty pow'r thou hast declar'd 
the nations among. 

15 To thine own people with thine arm 

thou didst redemption bring ; 
To Jacob's sons, and to the tribes 
of Joseph that do spring. 

16 The waters, L' rd, perceived thee, 

the waters saw thee well; 
And they for fear aside did flee ; 
the depths on trembling fell: 

17 The clouds in water forth were pour'd, 

sound loudly did the sky ; 
And swiftl)' through the world abroad 
thine airows fieice cUd fly. 

18 Thy thunder's voice alcngst the heav'n 

a mighty noise did make: 
By lightnings lightn'd was the world; 
th' earth tremble did and shake. 

19 Thy way is in the sea, and in 

the waters great thy path : 
Yet are tliy footsteps hid, O Lord; 
none kiiowledge thereof hath. 

20 Tliy people thou didst safely lead, 

like to a flock of sheep : 
By Moses' hand and Aaron's thou 
didst them conduct and keep. 

PSALM LXXMIL 

1 A^TTEND, my people, to my law; 

thereto give thou an car ; 
The words that from my mouth proceed, 
attentively do hear. 

2 My mouth shall sj'cak a parable, 

and sayings dark of old : 
8 The same which v/e have heard and known, 
and us our fathers told. 

4 We also will them net conceal 

from their posterity ; 
Them to the generation 

to come declare will we: 
The praises of the Lord our God, 

and his almighty strength, 
The wondrous works that he hath done, 

we will shew forth at length. 

5 His testimony and his law 

in Isr'el he did place, 
And charg'd our fathers it to show 
to their succeeding race ; 

6 Tliat so the race which was to come 

might well them learn and know; 
And sons unborn, who should arise, 
might to their sons them show : 

7 That they might set their hope in God, 

and suffer not to fall 
His mighty works out of their mind; 
but keep his precepts all. 

8 And might not, like their fathers, be 

a stiff rebellious race ; 
A race not right in heart; with God 
whose sp'rit not stcdfast was. 

9 The sons of Ephraim who nor bows 

nor other arms did lack. 
When as the day of battle was, 
they faintly turned back. 

10 They brake (iod's cov'nant, and refus'd 

in his commands to go; 

11 His works and wonders they forgot, 

which he to them did show. 



12 Things marvellous he brought to pass: 

their f itliers them beheld 
Within the Land of Egypt done, 
yea, e\'n in Zoan's field. 

13 By him divided was the sea; 

he caus'd them through to pass ; 
And made the waters so to stand, 
as like an heap it was. 

14 ^^'ith cloud by day, with light of fire 

all night, he did them guide. 

15 In desert rocks he clave, and drink, 

as from great depths, supply 'd. 

16 He from the rock brought streams like 

made waters to run down. [floods, 

17 Y'et sinning more in desert tliey 

provok'd the highest One. 

18 For in their heart they tempted God, 

and speaking with mistrust. 
They greedily did meat require 
to satisfy their lust. 

19 Against the Lord himself they spake 

and murmuring, said thus, 
A table in the wilderness 

can God prepare for us ? 
30 Behold, he smote the rock, and Acncc 

came streams and waters great ; 
But can he give his people bread ? 

and send them flesh to eat ? 

21 The Lord did hear and waxed wroth ; 
so kindled was a flame 
'Gainst Jacob, and 'gainst Israel 
up indignation came. 
32 For they believ'd not God, nor trust 
in his salvation had: 
Though clouds above he did command, 
and lieav'n's doors open made; 

24 And m.inna rain'd on them, and gave 

them corn of heaven to cat. 

25 Man angel's food did eat ; to them 

he t J t'lc full sent meat. 

26 And m the hea\en he did cause 

an eastern wind to blow ; 

And by his power he let out 

the southern wind to go. 

27 Then flesh as thick as dust he made 

to rain down them among ; 
And feather'd fowls, like as the sand 
which ly'th the shore along. 

28 At his command amidst their camp 

these show'rs of flesh down fell, 
All round about the tabernacles 
and tents where they did dweD. 

29 So did they eat abundantly, 

and had of meat their fill ; 
For he did give to them what was 
their own desire and will. 

30 They from their lust had not estrang'd 

their heart and their desire ; 
But while the meat was in their mouth, 
which they did so require, 

31 God's wraih ujjon tliem came, and slew 

the fattest of them all ; 
So that the choice of Israel, 
o'erthrown by death, did fall. 

32 Yet, notwithstanding of all this, 

they sinned still the moie ; 
And tho' he had great wonders wrought, 
believ'd him not therefore. 

33 Wherefore their days in vanity 

he did consume and waste ; 
And by liis wrath their wretched yean 
away in trouble past. 

34 But when he slew them, then they did 

to seek him shew desire ; 
Yea they return 'd, and after God 
right early did inquire. 

35 And

35 And tluit the Lord had been their Rock 
they did remember then ; ' 

Ev'n that the high Almighty God 
had their redeemer been. 
g6 Yet witli tlieir mouth they flatter'd him, 
and spake but feignedly ; 
And they unto the God of truth 
with their false tongues did lie. 

37 For though their words were good, their 

with him was not sincere, [heart 

Unsteadfast and perfidious 
they in his cov'nant were. 

38 But, full of pity, he forgave 

their sin, them did not slay ; 
Nor stirr'd up all his wrath, but oft 
his anger turn'd away. 
35 For that they were but fading flesh 
to mind he did recall ; 
A wind that passeth soon away, 
and not returns at all. 

40 How often did they him provoke 

within the wilderness I 
And in the desert did him grieve 
with their rebelliousness ? 

41 Yea, turning back, they tempted God, 

and limits set upon 
Him, whoin midst of Is'rel is 
' the only holy one. 

42 They did not call to mind his pow'r, 

nor yet the day when he 
Deliver'd them out of the hand 
of their fierce enemy ; 

43 Nor how great signs in Egypt land 

he openly had w rought ; 
What miracles in Zoan's field 
his hand to pass had brought. 

44 How lakes and rivers ev'ry where 

he turned into blood; 
So that no man nor beast could drink 

of standing lake or flood. 
4j He brought among them swarms of flies, 

which did them sore annoy ; 
And divers kinds of filthy frogs 

he sent them to destroy. 

46 He to the caterpillar gave 

the fruits of all their soil : 
Their labours he deliver'd up 
unto the locusts' spoil : 

47 Their vines with hail, their sycamores 

he jvith frost did blast : 
4g Their beasts to hail he gave, their flocks 
hot thunderbolts did waste. 

49 Fierce burning wrath he on them cast, 

and indignation strong, ■ 
And troubles sore, by sending forth 
ill angels them among. 

50 He to liis wrath made way ; their soul 

from death he did not save j 
But over to the pestilence 
the lives of them he gave. 

51 In Egypt land the first-born all 

he smote down ev'ry where ; 
Among the tents of Ham, ev'n these 
chief of their strength that were. 

52 But his own people, like to sheep, 

thence to go forth he made ; 
And he, amidst the wilderness, 
them, as a flock, did lead. 

53 And he them safely on did lead, 

so that they did not fear ; 
Whereas their en'mies by the sea 

quite overwhelmed were. 
54 To borders of his sanctuary 

the Lord his people led ; 
Ev'n to the mount which his right hand 

from them had purchased. 



55 the nations of Canaan, 

by his almighty hand, 
Before their face he did expel 

out of their native land ; 
Which for inheritance to them 

byline he did divide. 
And made the tribes of Israel 

within their tents abide. 

56 Yet God most high they did provoke, 

and tempted ever still : 
And to observe his testimonies 
did not incline their will. 

57 But, like their fathers, turned back, 

and dealt unfaithfully : 
Aside they turned, like a bow 

that shoots deceitfully. 
38 For they to anger did provoke 

him with their places high ; 
And with their graven images 

mov'd him to jealousy, 

59 When God heard this, he waxed wroth, 

and much loath'd Is'rel then : 

60 So Shiloh's tent he left, the tent 

which he had ptac'd with men. 

61 And he his strength delivered 

into captivity ; 
He left his glory in the hand 
of his proud enemy. 
dx His people also he gave o'er 
unto the sword's fierce rage ; 
So sore his wrath inflamed was 
againft his heritage. 

63 The fire consum'd their choice young men, 

their maids no marriage had. 

64 And w hen their priefts fell by the sword, 

their wives no mourning made. 

65 But then the Lord arose, as one 

that doth from sleep awake ; 
And like a giant that, by wine 
refresh'd, a shout doth make : 

66 Upon his en'mies' hinder parts 

he made his stroke to fall ; 
And so upon them he did put 
a shame perpetual. 

67 Moreover he, the tabernacle 

of Joseph did refuse ; 
The mighty tribe of Ephraim 
he would in no wise choose : 

68 But he did choose Jehuda's tribe 

to be the reft above ; 
And of Mount Sion he made choice, 
which he so much did love. 

69 And he his sanctuary built 

like to a palace high, 
Like to the earth, which he did found 
to perpetuity. 

70 Of David, that his servant was, 

lie also choice did make. 
And even from the folds of sheep 
was pleased him to take : 

71 From waiting on the ewes with young 

he brought him forth to feed 
Israel his inheritance, 
his people Jacob's seed. 
71 So after the integrity 

he of his heart them fed ; 
And by the good skill of his hands 
them wisely governed. 

PSALM LXXIX. 
if~\ GOD, the heathen cnter'd have 
V^ thine heritage ; by them 
Defiled is thy house : on heaps 
they laid Jerusalem. 
3 The bodies of tliy servants they 
have caft forth to be meat 
To rav'nous fowls : thy dear saints' flesh 
they gave to beads to eat. 



3 Their blood about Jerusalem 

like water they have shed ; 
And there was none to bury them, 
when they were slain and dead. 

4 Unto our neighbours a reproach 

most base become are we ; 
A scorn and laughing stock to them 
that round about us be. 

1 How long. Lord, shall thine anger last ? 

wilt thou still keep the same ? 
And shall thy fervent jealousy 
burn like unto a flame ? 

6 On Heathen pour thy fury forth, 

that have thee never known, 
And on those kingdoms which thy name 
have never calPd upon. 

7 For these are they who Jacob have 

devoured cruelly ; 
And they his habitation 
have caused waste to lie. 

8 Against us mind not former sins ; 

thy tender mercies show ; 
Let them prevent us speedily, 
for we're brought very low. 

9 For thy name's glory help us. Lord, 

who hast our Saviour been : 
Deliver us ; for thy name's sake, 
O purge away our sin. 

1 Why say the Heathen, Where's their God f 

let him to them be known ; 
When those who shed thy servants' blood 
are in our sight o'erthrown. 

11 O let the pris'ners' sighs ascend 

before thy sight on high ; 
Preserve those in thy mighty pow'r 
that are design'd to die. 

12 And to our neighbours' bosom cause 

it sev'n fold render'd be, 
Ev'n the reproach wherewith they have, 
O Lord, reproached thee. 

13 So we thy folk, and pafture sheep, 

shall give thee thanks always : 
And unto generations all 
we will show forth thy praise. 
PSALM LXXX. 
iTTEAR, Is'rel's Shepherd! like a flock 
xTl. thou that dost Joseph guide : 
Shine forth, O thou that dost between 
the cherubims abide. 

2 In Ephraim's, and Benjamin's, 

and in Manasseh's sight, 
O come for our salvation ; 

stir up thy ftrength and might. 

3 Turn us again, O Lord our God, 

and upon us vouchsafe 
To make thy countenance to shine \ 
and so we shall be safe. 

4 O Lord of hofts almighty God, 

how long shall kindled be 
Thy wrath againft tlie prayer made 
by thine own folk to thee ? 

5 Thou tears of sorrow giv'st to them 

instead of bread to eat ; 
Yea, tears instead of drink thou giv'st 
to them in measure great. 

6 Thou makest us a strife unto 

our neighbours round about ; 
Our enemies among themselves 
at us do laugh and flout. 

7 Turn us again, O God of hosts, 

and upon us vouchsafe 
To make thy countenance to siiine, 
and so we shall be safe.

where it might grow and btand ; 
Thou causedst it deep root to take, 
and it did fill the land. 

10 Tlie mountains veil'd were with its shade 

as with a covering ; 
Like goodly cedars were the boughs 
whiclj out from it did spring. 

1 1 Upon the one hand to the sea 

her boughs she did out send ; 
On th' other side unto the flood 
her branches did extend.

So tliat all passengers do pluck, 
and make of her a prey. 
J3 The boar who from the forest comes 
doth waste it at his pleasure ; 
The wild hearts of the field also 
devours it out of measure. 

14 O God of hosts we thee beseech, 

return now unto thine ; 
Look down from heav'n, in love, behold, 
and visit this thy vine : 

15 This vineyard, which thine own right hand 

hath planted us among : 
And that same branch, which for thyself 
thou hast made to be strong. 

16 Burnt up it is with flaming fire, 

it also is cut down : 
They utterly are perished, 

when as thy face doth frown. 
i^ O let thy hand be still upon 

the man of thy right hand, 
The son of man, whom for thyself 

thou madest strong to stand. 
iS So henceforth we will not go back, 

nor turn from thee at all : 
O do thou quicken us, and we 

upon thy nanie will call. 
19 Turn us again Lord God of hosts, 

and upon us vouchsafe 
To make thy countenance to shine ; 

and so we shall be safe. 

PSALM LXXXI. 

I QING loud to God our strength ; with joy 

kJ to Jacob's God do sing. 
3 Take up a psalm, the pleasant harp, 
timbrel and psalt'ry bring. 

3 Blow trumpets at new moon, what day 

our feast appointed is : 

4 For charge to Is'rel, and a law 

of J.acob's God was this. 
^5 To Joseph this a testimony 
he made, when Egypt land 
He travell'd through, where speech I heard 
1 did not understand. 

6 His shoulder I from burdens took, 

his hands from pots did free. 

7 Thou didst in trouble on me call, 

and I dcliver'd thee : 
In secret place of tiiundering 

I did thee answer make ; 
And at the streams of Meribah, 

of thee a proof did take, 
t O thou, my people, give an ear, 

I'll testify to thee ; 
To thee, O Is'rel, if thou wilt 

but hearken unto me. 

9 In midst of thee tliere shall not be 

any strange god at all ; 
Nor unto any god unknown, 
thou bowinj; down shall fall. 

10 I am the Lord thy God, which did 

from Egypt land thee guide ; 
I'll fill thy mouth abundantly, 
do thou it Open wide. 



11 But yet my people to my voice 

would not attentive be ; 
And ev'n my chosen Israel 
he would have none of me. 

12 So to the lust of their own liearts 

1 them delivered ; 
And then in counsels of their own 
they vainly wandered. 

13 O that my people had me heard, 

Is'rel my ways had chose ! 

14 I had their en'mies soon subdu'd, 
my liand turn'd on their foes. 

15 The haters of the Lord, to him 

submission should have feign'd : 
But as for them, their time should have 
forever more remain'd. 

16 He should have also fed them with 

the finest of the w heat ; 
Of honey from the rock, thy fill 
1 should have made thee eat. 
PSALM LXXXII.

3 Defend the poor and fatherless ;

4 Tlie poor and needy ones set free ; 

rid them from ill men's might.

6 I said that ye are gods, and are

7 But ye shall die like men, and as 

one of the princes fall. 

5 O God, do thou raise up thyself, 

the earth to judgment call : 
For thou, as thine inheritance, 
shalt take the nations all. 

PSALM LXXXIII.

tumultuously have made ; 
And they that haters are of thee, 
liave lifted up the head.

And they against thy hidden ones, 
do consultations make. 

4 Come, let us cut themotF, said they, 

from being a nation, 
That of the name of Is'rel may 
no more be mention. 
J For with joint heart they plot, in league 
against thee they combine.

Moab's and Hagar's line ; 

7 Gebal, and Ammon, Amaiek, 

Philistines, those of Tyre ; 

8 And Assur join'd with them, to help 

Lot's children they conspire.

Jabin at Kison strand j

Let us God's houses take. 

13 My God, them like a wheel, aschaflf 

before the wind, tliem make. 



14 As fire consumes the wood, as flame 

doth mountains set on fire, 

15 Chase and affright them with the storm 

and tempest of thine ire. 

16 Their faces fill w;tli shame, O Lord, 

that they may seek thy name. 

17 Let them confounded be, and vex'd 

and perish in their shame : 

18 That men may know that thou, to whom 

alone doth appertain 
Tlie name JEHOVAH, dost most high 
o'er all the earth remain. 

PSALM LXXXIV. 

1 T TOW lovely is thy dwelling place, 
XJL O Lord of hosts to me ! 

The tabernacles of thy grace, 
how pleasant, Lord, they be ! 

2 My thirsty soul longs veh'mently, 

yea, faints thy courts to see : 
My very heart and flesh cry out, 
O living God, for th«e. 

3 Behold, the sparrow findethout

The swallow also for herself 

hath purchased a nest ; 
Ev'n thine own altars, where she safe 

her young ones forth may bring ; 
O thou almighty Lord of hosts, 

who art mv God and King. 

4 Bless'd are they in thy house that dwell, 

they ever give thee praise. 

5 Bless'd is the man whose strength thou art 

in whose heart are thy ways : 

6 Who passing through Baca's vale, 

therein do dig up wells ; 
Also the rain that falleth down 
the pools with water fills. 

7 So they from strength unwearied go 

still forward unto strength. 
Until in Sion they appear 
before llic Lord, at length. 

8 Lord God of hosts, my prayer hear ; 

O Jacob's God, give ear. 

9 See, God, our Shield, look on the face 

of thine anointed dear. 

10 For in thy courts one day excels 

a thoufand ; rather in 
My God's house will I keep a door, 
than dv.ell in tents of sin. 

11 For God the Lord's a sun and shield : 

he'll grace and glory give ; 
And will \vith-hold no good from them 
that uprightly do live.

7 Thy wrath lies hard on me, thou hast 

me press'd with all thy waves. 
S Thou hast put far from me my friends, 
thou mad'st them to abhor me ; 
And I am so shut up, that I 
find no evasion for me. 

9 By reason of affliction 

mine eye mourns dolefully : 
To thee. Lord, do I call, and stretch 
my hands continually. 

10 Wilt thou shew wonders to the dead ? 

Shall they rise, and thee bless ? 

1 1 Shall in the grave thy love be told ? 

in death thy faithfulness ? 

12 Shall tliy great wonders in the dark, 

or shall thy righteousness 
Be known to any in the land 
of deep forgetfulnesse 
I 3 But, Lord, to thee I cry'd; my pray'r 
at morn prevent shall thee. 

14 Why, Lord, dost thou cast off my soul, 

and hid'st thy face from me ? 

15 Distress'd am I, and from my youth 

I ready am to die ; 
Thy terrors I have borne, and am, 
distracted fearfully, 

16 The dreadful fierceness of thy wrath 

quite over me doth go : 
Thy terrors great have cut me off, 
they did pursue mc so, 
J 7 For round about me ev'ry day, 
like water, they did roll ; 
And, gathering together, they 
have compassed my soul. 
18 My friends thou hast put far from ine, 
and him that did me love ; 
And those that mine acquaintance were, 
to darkness didst remove. 

PSALM LXXXIX. 
1 /^ OD's mercies I will ever sing ; 

\J and with my mouth 1 shall 
Tliy faithfulness make to be known 
to generations all, 



2 For mercy shall be built, said I, 

forever to endure ; 
Thv faithfulness, ev'n in the hcav'ns, 
thou wilt establish sure. 

3 I with my chosen One have made 

a cov'nant graciously : 
And to my servant, whom I lov'd, 
to David sworn have I : 

4 That I thy seed establish shall 

forever to remain. 
And will to generations all 

thy throne build and maintain. 

5 The praisesof thy v^onders, Lord, 

the heavens shall express ; 
And in the congregation 
of saints thy faithfulness. 

6 For who in heaven with the Lord 

may once himself compare ? 
Who is like God among the sons 
of those that mighty are ? 

7 Great fear in meeting of the saint* 

is due unto the Lord ; 
And he of all about him should 
with rev'rence be ador'd: 

8 O thou that art the Lord of hosts, 

what Lord in mightiner^s 
Is like to thee ? who compass'd round 
art with thy faithfulness. 

9 Ev'n in the raging of the sea 

thou over it dost reign ; 
And when the waves tltereof do swell, 
thou stillest them again. 

10 Rahab in pieces thou didst break, 

like one that slaughter'd is ; 
And with thy migh.ty arm, thou hast 
dispers'd thine enemies, 

11 The heav'ns are thine, thou for thine own 

the earth dost also take : 
The world, and fulness of the same, 
thy pow'r did found and make. 

12 The north and south from thee alone 

their first beginning had ; 
Both Tabor mount, and Hermon hill, 
shall in thy name be glad. 

13 Thou hast an arm that's full of pow'r, 

thy hand is great in might : 
And thy right hand exceedingly 
exalted is in height. 

14 Justice and judgment of thy throne 

are made the dwelling-place : 
Mercy, accompany'd with trutli, 
shall go before thy face. 

15 O greatly bless'd the people are, 

the joyful sound that know ; 
In brightness of thy face, O Lord, 
they ever on shall go. 

16 They in thy name shall all the day 

rejoice exceedingly ; 
And 'rfi thy righteousness shall they 
exalted be on high. 

17 Because the glory of their strength 

doth only stand in thee ; 
And in thy favour sliall our horn 
and pow'r exalted be. 

18 For God is our defence ; and he. 

to us doth safety bring : 
1 he holy One of Ismel 
is our almighty King. 

19 In vision to thy holy One 

thou saidst, 1 help upon 
A strong one laid ; out of the folk 
1 rais'd a chosen one ; 

20 Ev'n David, I have found him out 

a servant unto me ; 
And with my holy oil, my king 
anointed him to be.

I will tlicin greatly plagile, who do 

w ith hatred him oppose.

their sins with chastisements.

what with my mouth I spake. 

35 Once by my holiness I sware, 

to David I'll not lie; 

36 His seed and throne shall, as the sun, 

before me last for ay. 

37 It, like the moon, shall ever be 

establish'd stedfastly : 
And like to that w hich in the heav'n 
doth witness faithfully. 

38 But thou, displeased, hast cast off, 

thou didst abhor and loathe ; 
With him that thine anointed is 
thou hast been very wroth. 

39 Thou hast thy servant's covenant 

made void, and quite cast by ; 
Thou hast profan'd his crown, while it 
cast on the ground doth lie. 

40 Thou all his hedges hast broke down, 

his strong holds'down hast torn. 

41 He to all passers-by a spoil, 

to neighbours is a scorn. 
4a Thou hast set up his foes' riglit hand, 
mad'st all his en'mies glad :" 

43 Turn'd his sword's edge, and him to stand 

in battle hast not made. 

44 His glory tliou hast made to cease, 

his throne to ground down cast ; 

45 Shorten'd his days of youth; and him 

with shame thou cover'd hast. 

46 How long, Lord, wilt thou hide thyself ? 

forever, in thine ire ? 
And shall thine indignation 
burn like unto a fire? 

47 Remember, Lord, how short a time 

J shall on earth remain :

Or from the power of the grave, 
what man liis soul fhall free ! 

49 Tliy former loving-kindnesses, 

O Lord, where be they now ? 
These which in truth and faithfulness 

to David sworn hast thou ? 
30 Mind, Lord, thy servant's sad reproach ; 

how I in bosom bear 
The scornings of the people all, 

who strong and mighty are. 

51 Wherewith thy raging enemies 

reproach'd, O Lord, think on; 
Wherewith they have reproach'd the steps

PSALM XC. 
1 T OR D, thou hast been our dwelling-place 

1 -< in generations all. 
a Before thou ever hadst brought forth 
the mountains great or small ; 
Ere ever thou hadst form'd the earth, 

and all the world abroad ; 
Ev'n thou from everlasting art 
to everlasting God. 

3 Thou dost unto destruction 

man that is mortal turn ; 
And unto them thou say'st again. 
Ye sons of men, return. 

4 Because a thousand years appear 

no more before thy sight, 
Tlian yesterday when it is past, 
or than a waich by night. 

5 As with an overflowing flood 

thou carriest them away : 
They like a sleep are, like the grass 
that grows at morn are they. 

6 At morn it flourishes and grows, 

cut down at ev'n doth fade. 

7 For by thine anger we're consum'd, 

tliy wrath makes ut afraid. 

8 Our sins, thou, and iniquities, 

dost in thy presence place, 
And seti'st our secret faults before 
the brightness of thy face. 

9 For in thine anger all our days 

do pass on to an end ; 
And as a tale that hath been told, 
so our years do spend. 

10 Three score and ten years do sum up 

our days and years, we see ; 
Or if, by reason of more strength, 

in some fourscore they be : 
Yet dotli the strength of such old men 

but grief and labour prove ; 
For it is soon cut off, and we 

fly hence, and soon remove. 

11 Who knows the power of thy wrath ? 

according to thy fear 

12 So is thy wrath : Lord, teach thou us 

our end in mind to bear ; 
And so to count our days, that we 

our hearts may still apply 
To learn thy wisdom, and thy truth, 

that we may live thereby. 

1 3 Turn yet again to us, O Lord, 

how long thus shall it be f 
Let it repent thee now for those 
that servants are to thee. 

14 O witii thy tender mercies, Lord, 

us early satisfy ; 
So wc rejoice shall all our days, 
and still be glad in thee. 



15 According as the days have been, 

w herein we grief have had, 
And years wherein we ill have seen, 
so do thou make us glad. 

16 O let thy work and pow'r appear 

thy servants' face before ; 
And shew unto their children dear, 
thy glory evermore : 

17 And let the beauty of the Lord 

our God be us upon : 
Our handy-works establish thou, 
establish them each one. 

PSALM XCI. 

1 T TE that doth in the secret place 
JL X of the most high reside. 

Under the shade of him that is 
th' Almighty, shall abide. 

2 I of the Lord my God will say. 

He is my refuge still. 
He is my fortress, and my God, 
and in him trust I will. 

3 Assuredly he shall thee save, 

and give deliverance 
From subtile fowler's snare, and from 
the noisome pestilence. 

4 His feathers shall thee hide ; thy trust 

under his wings shall be : 
His faithfulness shall be a shield 
and buckler unto thee. 

5 Thou shalt not need to be afraid 

for terrors of the night, 
Nor for the arrow that doth fly 
by day while it is light ; 

6 Nor for the pestilence, that walks 

in darkness secretly ; 
Nor for destruction, that doth w astc 
at noon-day openly. 

7 A thousand at thy side shall fall, 

on thy right hand shall lie 
Ten thousand dead ; yet unto thee 

it shall not once come nigh. 
S Only thou with thine eyes Ihalt look, 

and a beholder be ; 
And thou therein the just reward 

of wicked men shalt see. 

9 Because the Lord, who constantly 

my refuge is alone, 
Ev'n the most High, is made by thee 
thy liabitation ; 

10 No plague shall near thy dwelling come, 

no ill shall thee befall ; 

11 For thee tokeep in all tliy ways 

his angels charge he shall. 

12 They in their hands shall bear thee up, 

Still waiting thee upon ; 
Lest thou at any time sliould'stdash 
thy foot against a stone. 

13 Upon the adder thou shalt tread, 

and on the lion strong ; 
Thy feet on Dragons trample shall, 
and on the lions young. 

14 Because on me he set his love, 

I'll save and set him free; 
Because my great name he hath known, 
I will him set on high. 

15 He'll call on me, I'll answer him ; 

I will be with him still 
In trouble, to deliver kiin, 
and honour Iiim I will. 

16 With length of days unto his mind 

I will him satisfy ; 
I also my salvation 

will cause his eyes to see.

forever to remain. 

9 For, lo, thine enemies, O Lord, 

thine en'mies perish shall; 
The workers of iniquity 
shall be dispersed all. 

10 But thou shalt, like unto the horn 

of th' unicorn, exalt 
My liorn on high : thou with fresh oil 
anoint me also shalt. 

11 Mine eyes shall also my desire 

see on mine enemies ; 
Mine ear sliall on the wicked hear,

12 But like the palm-tree flourishing,

He shall like to the cedar grow, 
that is in Lebanon. 

13 Those that within the house of God 

are planted by his grace, 
They shall grow up, and flourisli all 
in our God's holy place. 

14 And in old age, when others fade, 

they fruit still forth shall brino-; 
They shall be fat and full of sap, 
and ay be flourishing. 

15 To shew that upright is the Lord : 

he is a rock to me. 
And he from all unrighteousness 

is altogether free.

from everlasting art. 

3 Tlie floods, O Lord, have lifted up, 

they lifted up their voice ; 
The floods have lifted up their waves, 
and made a mighty noise. 

4 But yet the Lord, that is on higli, 

is more of might by far 
Than noise of many waters is, 
or great sea- billows are. 

5 Thy testiitionies ev'ry one 

in faithfulness excel ; 
And holiness for ever, Lord, 
thine house becometh well. 
PSALM XCIV,

2 Lift up thyself, thou of the earth 

the sov'reign judge that art ; 
And unto those that are so proud, 
a due reward impart. 

3 How long, O mighty God, shall they 

v/ho lewd and wicked be. 
How long shall they who wicked are, 
thus triumph haughtily ? 

4 How long shall things most hard by them 

be uttered and told ? 
And all that work iniquity 
to boast themiselves be bold ? 

5 Thy folk, they break in pieces, Lord, 

thine heritage oppress ; 

6 The widow they and stranger slay, 

and kill the fatherless. 

7 Yet say they, God it shall not see, 

nor God of Jacob know. 

8 Ye brutish people! imderstand ; 

fools ! when wise will ye grow ? 

9 The Lord did plant the ear of man, 

and hear then shall not he ? 
He only form'd the eye, and then 
shall he not clearly see ? 

10 He that the nations doth correct, 

shall he not chastise you ? 
He knowledge unto man doth teach, 
and shall himself not know ? 

1 1 Man's thoughts to be but vanity 

the Lord doth well discern. 

12 Bless'd is the man thou chast'neth. Lord, 

and mak'st thy law to learn : 

13 That thou may'st give him rest from days 

of sad adversity. 
Until the pit be digg'd for those 
that work iniquity. 

14 For sure the Lord will not cast off 

those that his people be. 

Neither his own inheritance 

quit and forsake will he : 

15 But judgment unto righteousness 

shall yet return again ; 
And all shall follow afcer it

16 Who will rise up for me against 

those that do wickedly ; 
Who will stand up for me 'gainst those, 
that work iniquity ? 

17 Unless the Lord had been my help 

when I was sore opprest. 
Almost my soul had in the house 
of silence been at rest. 

18 When I had uttered this word, 

(my foot doth slip away,) 
Thy mercy held me up, O Lord, 
thy goodness did me stay.

have fellowship with thee, 
Wliich, mischief cunningly contriv'd,

PSALM CII. 
i/^ LORD, unto my prayer give ear, 

V^ my cry let come to thee ; 
i And in the day of my distress 
hide not thy face from me. 
Give car to me: what time I call, 
to answer me make haste. 

3 For, as a hearth, my bones are burnt, 

my days, like smoke do waste. 

4 My heart within me smitten is, 

and it is withered 
Like very grass : so that I do 
forget to cat my bread. 

5 By reason of my groaning voice 

my bones cleave to my skin. 

6 Like pelican in wilderness 

forsaken I have been ; 
I like an o\\\ in desart am, 
that nightly there doth moan : 

7 I watch, and like a sparrow am 

on the house-top alone. 

8 My bitter en'mies all the day 

reproaches cast on me. 
And, being- mad at me, with rage 
against me sworn they be. 

9 For why? I ashes eaten have 

like bread, in sorrows deep ? 
My drink I also ntingled have 
with tears that I did weep. 

10 Thy wrath and indignation 

did cause this grief and pain : 
For thou hast lift me up on high, 
and cast me down again. 

1 1 My days are like unto a shade, 

which doth declining pass ; 
And I am dry'd and withered, 
ev'n like unto the grass. 

12 But thou. Lord, everlasting art, 

and thy remembrance shall 
Continually endure, and be 
to generations all. 

13 Thou shalt arise, and mercy have 

upon thy Sion yet : 
The time to favour her is come, 
the tin)e that thou hast set. 

14 For in her rubbish and her stones 

thy servants pleasure take. 
Yea, they the very dust thereof 
do favour for her sake. 

15 So shall the heathen people fear 

the Lord's most holy name ; 
And all the kings on earth shall dread 
thy glory and thy fame. 

16 Wlien Sion by the mighty Lord 

built up again shall be, 

In glory then and majesty 

to uieu appear i>hall he. 

17 The 



17 The prayer of the destitute 
he surely will regard ; 
Their prayer will he not despise, 
by him it shall be heard. 
i8 For generations yet to come 
this shall be on record : 
So shall the people that shall be 
created praise the Lord. 
19 He from his sanctuary's height 
hath downward cast his eye ; 
And from his glorious throne in heav'n 
the Lord the earth did spy ; 
30 That of the mournful prisoner 
the groanings he might hear, 
To set them free, that unto death 
by men appointed are : 

21 That they in Sion may declare 

the Lord's most holy name, 
And publish in Jeiusalem 
the praises of the same ; 

22 When as the people gather shall 

in troops with one accord, 
When kingdoms shall assembled be 
to serve the highest Lord. 

33 My wonted strength and force he hath 

abated in the way, 
And he my days hath shortened ; 
Thus therefore did I say, 

34 My God, in mid-time of my days 

take thou me not away : 
From age to age eternally 
thy years endure and stay. 

35 The firm foundation of the earth 

of old time thou hast laid : 
The heavens also are the work 

which thine own hands have made, 
z6 Thou shalt for evermore endure, 
but they shall perish all ; 
Yea, ev'ry one of them wax old, 

like to a garment shall ; 
Thou, as vesture shalt them change, 
and they shall changed be: 
27 But thou the same art, and thy years 

are to eternity. 
38 The children of thy servants shall 
continually endure; 
And in thy s'ght, O Lord, their seed 
shall be establish'd sure. 

Another of the same. 
«T ORD, hear my pray'r, and let my cry 

1 A Have speedy access unto thee. 
3 In day of my calamity, 

hide not thou thy face from me ; 
Hear when! call to thee; that day 
An answer speedily return. 

3 My days, like smoke, consume away. 
And, as an hearth, my bones do burn. 

4 My heart is wounded very sore. 
And '.vitliered, like grass dotli fade : 

1 am forgetful grown therefore 
To take and eat my daily bread. 

5 By reason of my smart within. 

And voice of my most grievous groans, 

My flesh consumed is, my skin, 

All parch'd, doth cleave unto my bones. 

6 The pelican of wilderness, 
The owl in desert, I do match : 

7 And, sparrow-like, companionless. 
Upon the house's top I watch. 

$ I all day long am made a scorn, 
Reproach'd by, my malicious foes r 
The madmen are against me sworn, 
The men against me that arose. 

9 For I have ashes eaten up, 

To me as it they had been bread ; 
And with my drink I in my cup 
Of bitter tears a mLsture made.

And dreadful indignation : 
Therefore it was that thou me rais'd. 
And thou again didst cast me down. 

11 My days are like a shade al way. 
Which doth declining swiftly pass ; 
And I am withered away. 
Much liks unto the fading grass. 

iz But thou, O Lord, shalt still endure. 
From change and all mutation free, 
And to all generations sure 
Shall thy remembrance ever be. 

13 Thou shalt arise, and mercy yet 
Thou to Mou«t Sion shalt extend : 
Her time for favour which was set. 
Behold is now come to an end. 

14 Thy saints take pleasure in her stones. 
Her very dust to them is dear. 

15 All heathen lands and kingly thrones 
On earth thy glorious name shall fear. 

16 Gud in his glory shall appear. 
When Sion lie builds and repairs, 

17 He shall regard and lend his ear 
Unto tlie needy's humble pray'rs : 
Th' afflicted's pray'r he will not scorn. 

18 All times this shall be on record ; 
And generations yet unborn 
Shall praise and magnify the Lord. 

19 He from his holy place look'd down. 
The earth he view'd from heav'n on high : 

30 To hear the pris'ners' mourning groan, 
And free them that are doom'd to die j 

21 That Sion, and Jerus'lera too, 

His name and praise may well record, 

32 When people and the kingdoms do 
Assemble all to praise the Lord. 

23 My strength he weaken'd in the way. 
My days of life he shortened, 

34 My God, O take me not away 
In mid-time of my days, I said : 
Thy years throughout all ages last. 

25 Of old thou hast established 
The earth's foundation firm and fast : 
Thy mighty hands the heav'ns have made. 

26 They perish shall, as garments do. 
But thou shalt evermore endure; 
As vestures thou shalt change them so ; 
And they shall all be changed sure : 

27 But from all changes thou art free ; 
Thy endless years do last for ay. 

28 Thy servants, and their seed who be, 
EstablisJi'd shall before thee stay.

4 Who doth redeem thy life, that thou 

to death may'st not go down ; 
Who thee with loving-kindness doth

5 Who with abundance of good things 

doth satisfy thy inouth ; 
So that, ev'n as the eagle's age,

8 The Lord our God is merciful, 
and he is gracious. 
Long-suffering, and sIoav to wrath, 
in mercy plenteous. 

9 He will not chide continually, 

nor keep his anger still. 

10 With us he dealt not as we sinn'd, 

nor did requite our ill. 

11 For as the heaven in its height 

the earth surmounteth far ; 
So great to those that do him fear 
his tender mercies are : 

12 As far as east is distant from 

the west, so far hath he 
From us remov'd, in his love, 
all our iniquity, 

13 Such pity as a father hath 

unto his children dear ; 
Like pity shews the Lord to such 
as worship him in fear. 

14 For he remembers we are dust, 

and he our frame well knows. 

15 Frail man his days are like the grass, 

as flow'r in field he grows : 

16 For over it the wind doth pass, 

and it away is gone ; 
And of the place where once it was 
it shall no more be known. 

17 But unto them that do him fear 

God's mercy never ends ; 
And to their children's children still 
his righteousness extends : 

18 To such as keep his covenant, 

and mindful are alway 
Of his most just commandements, 
that they may them obey. 

19 The Lord prepared hath his throne 

in heavens firm to stand ; 
And ev'ry thing that being hath 
his kingdom doth command. 

20 O ye his angels that excel 

in strength, bless ye the Lord ; 
Ye who obey what he commands, 
and hearken to his word. 

21 O bless and magnify the Lord, 

ye glorious hosts of his ; 

Ye ministers, that do fulfil 

whate'er his pleasure is.

In his dominions ev'ry where,

he from the earth may bring : 
ij And wine, that to the heart of man j 

doth cheerfulness impart, 
Oil that his face makes shine, and bread ^ 
that strengtheneth his heart. 
16 The trees of God are full ot sap ; 
the cedars that do stand 
In Lebanon, which planted were ^ 

by his almighty hand. 
J 7 Birds of the air upon their boughs 
do choose their nests to make ;

the seasons to discern : 
From him the sun his certain time 
of going down doth learn. 

20 Thou darkness mak'st, 'tis night,thenbcasts 

of forest creep abroad. 

21 The lions young roar for their prey, 

and seek their meat from God. 

22 The sun doth rise, and home they flock, 

down in their dens they lie. 

23 Man goes to work, his labour he 

doth to the ev'ning ply. 

24 How manifold, Lord, are thy works ! 

in wisdom wonderful 
Tliou cv'ry one of them hast made ; 
earth's of thy riches full : 

25 So is this great and spacious sea, 

wlierein things creeping are. 
Which number'd cannot be ; and beasts 
both great and small are there. 

26 There ships go ; there thou mak'st to play

And ye that Jacob's children are, 
whom he choose for his own. 

7 Because he, and he only, is 
the mighty Lord our God ; 

And his most righteous judgments are 
in all the earth abroad. 

8 Hiscov'nant he remember'd hath, 
that it may ever stand ; 

To thousand generations 
the word he did command. 

9 Which covenant he firmly made 
with faithful Abraham, 

And unto Isaac, by his oath, 
he did renew the same : 

10 And unto Jacob, for a law, 
he made it firm and sure, 

A covenant to Israel, 

which ever should endure. 

11 He said, I'll give Canaan's land 
for heritage to you ; 



Ev'n Joseph, whom unnat'rully 
sell for a slave did they ; 
iS Whose feet with fetters they did hurt, 
and he in irons lay ; 

19 Until the time that his word came 

to give him liberty, 
Tlie word and purpose of the Lord 
did him in prison try. 

20 Then sent the king, and did command 

that he enlarg'd should be : 
Hc'that the people's ruler vvas 
did send to set him free. 

21 A lord to rule his family 

lie rais'd him, as most fit ; 

To him of all that he possess'd 

lie did the charge commit : 

22 That he might at his pleasure bind 

ilie princes of the land ; 
And he might teach his senators 
wisdom to understand. 

23 The people then of Israel 

dov.n into Egypt came ; 
And Jacob also sojourned 
within the land ot Han\. 

24 And he did greatly by his pow'r 

increase his people there ; 
And stronger than their enemies 
they by his blessing were. 

2 5 Their hearts he turn'd to envy 

liis folk maliciously. 
With those that his own servants were 

to deal in subtilty. 
His servant Moses he did send, 

Aaron his chosen one. 
By these his signs and wonders great 

in Ham's land were made known. 
Darkness he sent and made it dark ; 

liis word they did obey, 
lie turn'd their waters into blood, 

and he their fish did slay. 
30 The land in plenty brought forth frogs 

in chambers of their kings. 
His word all sorts of flies and lice 

in all th.eir borders brings. 
He hail for rain, and flaming fire, • 

intotlieir land he sent. 
And he tlieir vines and fig-trees smote ; 

trees of their coasts he rent. 

34 He spake, and caterpillars came, 

locusts did much abound, 

35 Which in tlieir land all herbs consum'd, 

and all fruits of their ground. 

36 He smote all first-born in their land, 

chief of their strength each one. 

37 With gold and silver brought them forth, 

weak in their tribes were none.

While yet they went t'roni land to land 40 Theyask'd, and he brought quails ; with

14 Yet, notwithstanding, suffer'd he 

no man to do them wrong : 
"^'ca, for their sakcs, he did reprove 
kings, who were great and strong. 

15 Tims did he say, Touch ye not those 

that mine anointed be, 
Nor do the prophets any harm 
that do pertain to me. 

16 He call'd for famine on the land,

1 /^ rVE praise and thanks unto the Loi'd, 
^ for bountiful is he ; 
His tender mercy dotli endure 
unto eternity. 
5 God's mighty works who can express? 

or sliew forth all his praise ? 
S Blessed are they that judgment keep, 

and justly do always. 
•4 Remember me, Lord, with that love 
which thou to thine dost bear ; 
With thy salvation, O m}- God, 
to visit me draw near : 
5 That I thy chosen's good may see, 
and in their joy rejoice : 
And may with thine inheritance 
triumph with cheerful voice. 
€ We with our fathers sinned have, 
and of iniquity 
Too long we have the workers been, 
we have done wickedly. 
7 The wonders great which thou, O Lord, 
didst work in Eg\T3t land 
Our fathers though they saw, yet them 

they did not understand : 
And they thy mercies multitude, 

kept not in memory, 
But at the sea, ev'n the Red-sea, 
provok'd him grievously. 
€ Nevertheless, he saved them 
ev'n for his own name's sake: 
That so he might to be well known 
his mighty power make. 

9 Wlien he the Red-sea did rebuke, 

then dried up it was : 
Thro' depths, as thro' the wilderness, 
he safely made them pass. 

10 From hnnds of those that hated them 

he did his people save: 
And from the en'my's cruel hand 
to them redemption gave. 

11 The waters overwhelm'd their foes: 

not one was left alive 

12 Then they believ'd his word, and praise 

to him in songs did give. 

13 But soon did they his mighty works, 

forget unthankfuUy, 
And on his counsel and his will 
did not wait patiently : 

14 But much did lust in wilderness, 

and God in desert tempt. 

15 He gave them what they sought, but to 

their soul he leanness sent. 

16 And against Moses in the camp 

their en\'y did appear ; 
At Aaron they, the saint of God, 
envious also were. 

17 Therefore the earth did open wide, 

and Dathan did devour. 

And all Abiram's company 

did cover in that hour. 

18 Likewise among their company 

a' fire was kindled then: 
And so the hot consuming flame 
burnt up tliese wicked men. 

19 Upon the hill of Horeb they 

an idol calf did frame, 
A molten image they did make, 
and worshipped the same. 

20 And thus their glory, and their God, 

most vainly changed they 
Into the likeness of an ox 
that eateth grass or h iv. 

21 They did forget the mighty God, 

that had their Saviour been. 
By wliom such great things brought to pass 
they had in Egypt seen. 



22 In Ham's land he did wondrous works, 
things terrible did he, 

VMien he his mighty hand and arm 
Stretch'd out at the Red-sea. 

23 Then said he. He would them destroy, 
had not, his wrath to stay. 

His chosen Moses stood in breach, 
that them he should not slay. 

24 Yea, they despis'd the pleasant land, 
believed not his word : 

25 But in their tents they murmured, 
not heark'ning to the Lord. 

26 Therefore in desert them to slay 
he lifted up his hand : 

27" 'Mong nations to o'erthrow their seed, 
and scatter in each land. 

28 They unto Baal-peor did 
themselves associate: 

The sacrifices of the dead 
they did profanely eat. 

29 Thus by their lewd inventions, 
they did provoke his ire ; 

And then upon them suddenly 
the plague brake in as fire. 

30 Then Phin'has rose, and justice did, 
and so the plague did cease : 

31 That to all ages counted was 
to him for righteousness. 

32 And at the waters, where they strove, 
they did him angry make. 

In such sort, that it fared ill 
with Moses for their sake : 

33 Because they there his spirit meek 
provoked bitterly. 

So that he uttered with his lips 
words unadvisedly. 

34 Nor, as the Lord commanded them, 
did they the nations slay : 

35 But with the Heathen mingled wei'e, 
and learn 'd of them their way. 

36 And they their idols serv'd: which did 
a snare unto tliem turn. 

37 Their sons and daughters they to dev'ls 
in sacrifice did burn : 

38 In their own cliildren's guiltless blood, 
their hands they did imbrue, 

Wliom to Canaan's idols they 

for sacrifices slev/ : 
So was the land defil'd with blood. 

39 They stain 'd witli their own way. 
And with their own inventions 

a whoring they did stray. 

40 Against his people kindled was 
the wrath of God tlierefore. 

Insomuch that he did his own 
inheritance abhor. 

41 He gave them to the Heathen's hand: 
. their foes did them command. 

42 Their en'mies them opprest, tliey were 
made subject to their hand. 

43 He many times delivered them, 
hut witii their counsel so 

They him ])rovok'd, that for their sin 
they were l)rought \ery low. 

44 Yet their affliction he beheld, 
when he did hear their cry. 

45 And he for them his covenant 
did call to memory. 

After his meicies multitude 

46 he did re];ent: And made 
Them to be pity'd of all t'liose 

wlio did tliem captive lead. 

47 O Lord, our God us sa\ c and gather

praise for his goodness then. 
And for his works of wonder done 
unto the sons of men ! 

9 For he the soul that longing is 

doth fully satisfy ; 
With goodness he the hungry soul 
doth fill abundantly. 

10 Such as shut up in darkness deep, 

and in death's shade abide. 
Whom strongly hath affliction bound, 
and irons fast have ty'd. 

11 (Because against the words of God 

they wrought rebelliously. 
And they the counsel did contemn 
of him that is most Higli.) 

12 Their heart he did bring down with grief, 

they fell, no help could have. 

13 In trouble then they cry'd to God, 

he them from straits did save. 

14 He out of darkness did them bring, 

and from death's shade them take ; 
These bands wherewith they had been 
asunder quite he brake. [bound, 

15 O that men to the Lord would give 

praise foi his goodness then, 
And for his works of wonder done 
unto the sons of men ! 

16 Because the mighty gates of brass 

in pieces he did tear. 

By him in sunder also cut 

the bars of iron were. 

17 Fools, for their sin, and tlicir offence, 

do sore affliction bear: 

18 All kind of meat tlieir soul alihors, 

they to death's gates draw near. 

19 In gi-ief they cry to God; he saves 

tliem from their miseries. 

20 He sends his word, them heals, and them 

from their destructions frees. 

21 O that men to the Lord would give

And let tlicm shew abroad Iiis works

26 They mount to heav'n, then to the depths

ThLii- voui dotli fiiint and melt away 

\Vith trouble and with pain. 
~7 They reel and stp.^ger like one drunk, 

at their wits' end tlu-y be : 
23 Then they to God in trouble cry, 

who them fi-oni straits doth free. 

29 The storm is chang'd into a calm, 

at his command and will ; 
So that the waves which rag'd before 
now quiet are and still. 

30 Then are they glad because at rest 

and quiet now the} be ; 
So to the haven he them brings 
which they dcsir'd to see. 

* SI O that men to the I^ord would give 

praise for his goodness then, 
And for his works of wonder done 
imto the sons of men ! 

32 Among the jjeople g ithered 

let them exalt his name ; 
Among assembled elders spread 
his most renowned fame. 

33 He to dry land turns water springs, 

and floods to wilderness ; 

34 For sins of those that dwell therein, 

fat land to Ijarrenness : 

35 The burnt and parched wilderness 

to water pools he brings. 
The ground that was dr, 'd up before 
he turns to water springs. 

36 And there, for dwelling, he a place 

doth to the hungr\' give, 
That they a city mav prepare 
commodiously to live : 

37 There sow they fields, and vineyards plant, 

to yield fruits of increase. 

38 His blessing m ikes them multiply, 

lets not their beasts decrease. 

39 Again they are diminished. 

and very low brought down. 
Through sorrow and affliction 
and gi-eat oppression. 

40 He upon princes pours contempt, 

and causeth them to stray : 
And wander in a wilderness. 
Wherein there is no way. 

4 1 Yet setteth he the poor on high 

from all his miseries. 
And he, much like unto a flock, 
doth make him families. 

42 They that are righteous shall rejoice, 

when they the same shall see ; 

* And, as ashamed, stop her mouth, 

shall all iniquity. 

43 Whoso is wise, and will these things 

observe, and them record, 
Ev'n they shall understand the love 
and kindncssof the Lord. 
PSALM CVIIL 

1 TVT Y heart is fix'd, Lord ; I will sing, 

and with my glory praise. 

2 Awake up psaltery and harp ; 

mysc'if I'll early raise. 

3 I'll praise thee 'mong the people. Lord, 

'mong nations sing will I: 

4 For above heav'n thy mercy's great, 

thy truth doth reach the sky. 

5 Be thou above the heavens. Lord, 

exalted gloriously : 
Thy glory all the earth above 
be lifted up on high. 

6 That those who thy beloved are 

deli\ercd may be, 
O do thou save with thy right hand, 
and answer give to me. 



7 God in his holiness hath said, 

Herein I will take pleasure, 
Shechem I will divide, and forth 
will Succoth's valley measure. 

8 Gilcad I claim as mine by right; 

Mmasseh mine shall be ; 
E]>hraim is of my head the strength; 
Judah gives laws for me ; 

9 Moab's my washing pot; my shoe 

I'll o\er Edom throw ; 
Over the land of Palestine 
I will in triumph go. 

10 O who is he will bring me to 

The city fortify 'd ? 
O who is he that to the land 
of Ed'im will me guide? 

11 O God, thou who hadst cast us off, 

this thing wiit thou not do? 
And wilt not thou, ev'n thou, O God, 
forth with our armies go ? 

12 Do thou from trouble give us help, 

for helj)less is man's aid. 

13 Through God we shall do valiantly; 

our foes he shall down tread. 
PSALM CIX. 

1 Q THOU the God of aU my praise, 

do thou not hold thy peace ; 

2 For mouths of wicked men to speak 

against me do not cease : 
The mouths of vile deceitful men 

against me open'd be ; 
And with a false and lying tongue 

they have accused me. 

3 They did beset me roimd about 

with words of hatefiil spight : 
And though to them no cause I gave, 
ag .inst me they did fight. 

4 They for my love became my foes, 

but I me set to pray, 

5 Evil for good, hatred for love, 

to me they did repay. 

6 Set thou the wicked over him ; ' 

and upon his right hand 
Gi\c thou his greatest enemy, 
e\ en Satan, lea\e to stand. 

7 And when by thee he shall lie judg'd, 

let him condemned be : 
And let his pray'r be turn'd to sin, 
when he shidl call on thee. 

8 Few be his days, and in his room 

his charge another take. 

9 His children let be fatherless, 

his wife a widow make. 

10 His children let be vagabonds, 

and beg continually : 
And from their places desolate 
seek bread for their sui)ply. 

11 Let covetous extoi-tioners 

catch all he hath away : 
Of all for which he laboured hath 
let strangers make a prey. 

12 Let therebe none to pity him : 

let there be none at all 
That on his children fatherless 
will let his mercy fall. 

13 Let his posterity from earth 

cut off fo)-cver be. 
And in the following age tlieir name 
be blotted out by thee. 

14 Let Ciod his f ither's wickedness 

still to remembrance call: 
And never let his mother's sin 
be blotted out at all. 

15 But let them all before the L ird 

appear continually, 
That he may wholly from the earth 
cut off their memory. 



16 Because he mercy minded not, 

but i^ersccutcd j^till 
The poor and needy, that he miglit 
the broken hearted kill. 

17 As he in cuising ])leasure took, 

so let it to him fall ; 
As he delighted not to bless, 
so bless hira not at all. 

18 As cursing he like clothes put on, 

into his bowels so. 
Like water, and into his bones, 
like oil, down let it go. 

19 Like to the garment let it be 

which doth himself array. 
And for a girdle, wherewith he 
is girt about alway. 

20 From God let this be their reward 

that en'mies arc to me, 
And their reward that speak against 
my soul maliciously. 

21 But do thou, for thine own name's sake 

O God the Lord, for me : 
Sith good and sweet thy mercy is, 
from trouble set me free. 

22 For I am poor and indigent, 

afflicted sore am I, 
My heart within me also is 
wounded exceedingly. 

23 I pass like a declining shade : 

Am like the locust tost. 

24 My knees through fasting weaken'd are 

my flesh hath fatness lost. 

25 I also am a vile reproach 

unto them made to be : 
And they that did ui)on me look 
did shake their heads at me. 

26 O do thou help and succour me, 

wlio art my God and Lord: 
And, for th\' tender mercy's uake, 
safety to me afford : 

27 That thereby they may know that this 

is thy almighty hand : 
And that thou, Lord, hast done the same, 
they may well understand. 

28 Altliough they curse with spite, yet, Lord, 

bless thou with loving voice : 
Let them asham'd be when they rise: 
thy servant let rej'iice. 

29 Let thou mine adversaries all 

with shame be clothed o\er: 
And let their own confusion 
them, as a niantle, cover. 

30 But IS for me, I with my mouth 

will greatly i)raise the Lord; 
And I among the multitude 
his jjraises will record. 

31 For he sh 11 st md at his right hand, 

who is in po\ erty. 
To save him from all those that would 
condemn his soul to die. 
PSALM ex. 

1 "T^HE Lord did say unto my Lord,

that sits at thy right hand, 
Shall, in his day of wrath, strike thro' 
kings that do him withstand. 

6 He shall among the Heathen judge, 

he shall with bodies dead 
The places fill ; o'er many lands, 
he wound shall ev'ry head. 

7 The brook that runneth in the way 

with drink shall him supply : 
And, for this cnuse, in triumph he

PSALM CXL 

1 pRAISE ye the Lord: with my whole 

I will God's praise declare, [heart 
Where the assembly of the just 
and congregations are. 

2 The whole works of the Lord our God 

are great above all meisure, 
Sought out they are of every one 

that doth therein take pleasure. 
S His work most honourable is, 

most glorious and pure : 
And his untainted righteousness 

for ever doth endure. 

4 His works most wonderful he hath 

made to be thought upon : 
The Lord is gracious, and he is 
full of compassion. 

5 He giveth meat unto all those 

that truly do him fear : 
And ever more his covenant 
he in his mind will bear. 

6 He did the power of his works 

unto his people show. 
When he the Heathen's heritage 
upon them did bestow. 

7 His handy works are truth and right ; 

all his commands are sure. 

8 And, done in truth and uprightness 

they ever more endure. 

9 He sent redemption to his folk, 

his covenant for ay. 
He did command : holy his name 
and reverend is alway. 

10 Wisdom's beginning is God's fear: 

good understanding they 
Have all, that his commands fulfil : 
his praise endures for ay. 

PSALM cxn. 

1 pRx\ISE ye the Lord. The man is blest 

that fears the Lord aright. 
He who in his commandements 
doth greatly take delight. 

2 His seed and offspring powerful 

shall be the earth ut on : 
Of upright men blessed shall be 
the generation. 
5 Riches and wealth shall ever be 
within his house in store : 
And his unspotted righteousness 
endures for ever more. 

4 Unto the upright light doth rise, 

tho' he in darkness be : 
Compassionate, and mercifiil, 
and righteous is he. 

5 A good man dotli his favour shew, 

and doth to others lend; 

He with discretion his affairs 

will guide unto the end. 

6 Surely there is not any thing 

that ever shall him move ; 
The righteous man's memorial 
shall everlasting prove. 

7 When he shall evil tidings hear, 

he shall not be afraid : 
His heart is fix'd, his confidence 
upon the Lord is stay'd. 



8 His heart is firmly stablished, 

afraid he shall not be. 
Until upon his enemies 
he his desire shall see, 

9 He hath dispers'd, given to the poor ; 

his righteousness shall be 
To ages all : with honour shall 
his horn be raised high. 

10 The wicked shall it see, and fret ; 

his teeth gnash, melt away ; 
What wicked men do most desire 
shall utterly decay. 

PSALM CXIII. 

1 p RAISE God: ye servants of the Lord, 

O praise, the Lord's name praise. 

2 Yea, blessed be the name of God 

from this time forth always. 

3 From rising sun to where it sets, 

God's name is to be prais'd. 

4 Above all nations God is high, 

'bove heaven's his glory rais'd. 

6 Unto the Lord our God, that dwells 

on high, who can compare ? 

5 Himself that humbleth things to see 

in heav'n and earth that are ? 

7 He from the dust doth raise the poor 

that very low doth lie. 
And from the dunghill lifts the man 
opprest with poverty. 

8 That he may highly him advance, 

and with the princes set. 
With Uiose that of his people are, 
the chief, ev'n princes great. 

9 The barren woman house to keep 

he maketh, and to be 
Of sons a mother full of joy. 
Pfaise to the Lord give ye. 
PSALM CXIV. 

1 'WT'HEN Israel out of Egvpt went, 

and did his dwelHng change. 
When Jacob's house went out from those 
that were of language strange ? 

2 He Judah did his sanctuary, 

his kingdom Isr'el make. 

3 The sea it saw, and quickly fled ; 

Jordan was driven back. 

4 Like rams the mountains, and like lambs 

the hills skipp'd to and fro. 

5 O sea, why fledd'st thou ? Jordan, back 

why wast thou driven so? 

6 Ye mountains great, wherefore was it 

that ye did skip like rams ? 
And wherefore was it, little hills, 
that ye did leap like lambs ? 

7 O at the presence of the Lord, 

earth, tremble thou for fear. 
While as the presence of the God 
of Jacob doth appear. 

8 Who from the hard and stony rock 

did standing water bring. 
And by his pow'r did turn the flint 
into a water spring. 

PSALM CXV. 

1 ^OT unto us. Lord, not to us, 

but do thou glory take 
Unto thy name, ev'n for thy truth, 
and for thy mercy's sake. 

2 O wherefore should the Heathen say, 

where is their god now gone ? 

3 But our God in the heav'ns is, 

what pleas'd him he hath done. 

4 Their idols silver are and gold, 

work of men's hands they be. 

5 Mouths have they, but they do not speak ; 

and eyes, but do not see. 

6 Ears hive they, but they do not hear; 

noses but savour not ; 

7 Hands, feet, but handle not, nor walk ; 

Nor speak they thro' their throat. 



8 Like them their makers are; and all 

on them their trust that build. 

9 O Israel trust thou in the Lord : 

he is their help and shield. 

10 O Aaron's house, trust in the Lord ; 

their help and shield is he. 

11 Ye that fear God, trust in the Lord : 

their help and shield he'll be. 

12 The Lord of us hath mindful been ; 

and he will bless us still. 
He will the house of Isr'el bless, 
bless Aaron's house he will. 

13 Both small and great that fear the Lord, 

he will them surely bless. 

14 The Lord will you, you and your seed 

ay more and more increase. 

15 O blessed are ye of the Lord 

who made the earth and heav'n. 

16 The heav'n, ev'n heav'ns are God's: but 

earth to men's sons hath given. [he 

17 The dead, nor who to silence go 

God's praise do not record. 

18 But henceforth we for ever will 

bless God. Praise ye the Lord. 

PSALM CXVI. 

1 T LOVE the Lord, because my voice 

and prayers he did hear. 

2 I while I live will call on him, 

who bow'd to me his ear. 

3 Of death the cords and sorrows did 

about me compass round. 
The pains of hell took hold on me : 
I grief and trouble found. 

4 Upon the name of God the Lord 

then did I call, and say. 
Deliver thou my soul, O Lord, 
I do thee humbly j)ray. 

5 God merciful and righteous is; 

yea, gracious is our Lord. 

6 God saves the meek : I was brought lo^T 

he did me help afford: 

7 O thou my soul, do thou return 

unto thy quiet rest : 
For largely, lo, the Lord to thee 
his bounty hath exprest. 

8 For my distressed soul from death 

delivered was by thee : 
Thou didst my mourning eyes from tears, 
my feet from falling, free: 

9 I in the land of those that live 

will walk the Lord before. 

10 I did believe, therefore I spake: 

I was afflicted sore. 

11 I said, when I was in my haste 

That all men liars be. 

12 What shall I render to the Lord, 

for all his gifts to me ? 

13 I'll of salvation take the cup, 

on God's name will I call. 

14 I'll pay my vows now to the Lord, 

before his people uU. 

15 Dear in God's sight is his saints' death. 

16 Thy servant, Lord, am I ; 

Thy servant sure, thine handmaid's son: 
my bands tliou didst untie. 

17 Thank off'rings I to thee will give, 

and on God's name will call. 

18 I'll pay my vows now to the Lord 

before his people all;

7 The Lord doth take my part with them

than trust in man's defence. 

9 Better to trust in God, than make

Which at no time can tie rcmov'i! 
but st?.ndeth ever still. 

2 As round about Jerusalem 

the mountains stand alway, 
The Lord liis folk doth compass so, 
from lienceforth, and for ay. 
1 For ill men's rod ujjom the lot 
of just men shall not lie ; 
Lest righteous men stretch forth their hands 
unto iniquity. 

4 Do thou to all those that be good 

thy ODolness, Lord, impart; 
And (111 thcu good tt) those that arc 
upright within their heart. 

5 But as for such as turn aside 

after their crooked way, 
God shall lead forth with wicked men ; 
on Is'rel peace shall stay.

2 Then fill'd with laughter was our mouth, 
our tongue with melody: 

They 'mong the Heathori said, The Lord 
great things for them hath wrought. 

3 The Lord hath done great tilings for us, 
whence joy to us is brouglit. 

4 As streams of ^iter in the south, 
our bondage7?»ord, recall. 

5 Who sow in tears, a reaping-time 
of joy enjoy Uiey shall. 

6 That man wjio, herring precious seetl, 
in going forth doth mourn ; 

He doubtless bringing back his sheaves, 
rejoicing shall return.
